Mazz, what about attracting more girls to EVE world? It would make EVE nicer as well as more balanced [and beautiful] place
When I was in Iceland I was asked this by one of the devs. If i remember right my answer was "uh, err.... i don't know?"
I really don't know why so few girls play eve. maybe it's the way off gender ratio that's already there, maybe it's because eve lacks bright pink things...? If the theory is right that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, and we're trained that from birth, then clearly the solution is a pink EVE, with lots of pink ships, docking in flower shaped stations and shooting puffballs at each other.

EVE is not about fluffy-fuzzy-cuddly Hello Kitty.
You have just given a prime example of why mazz is no good for EVE.
I have to disagree. EVE is about what the players decide to do. The game has a massive potential for female players as EVE is not only about omfg-pwnd-you-f...-noob-have-to-shout-about-it-in-local-and-to-my-corpm8s, it's a sandbox balanced between destruction and creation.
Just look how many girls is playing farmville or other games on facebook, cooperate to build some new building or harvest some fruits. It's just an example but the production mechanics are very similar to those existing in EVE including player cooperation to achieve better results. I see this aspect as a massive potential to draw women into the game. Think about planetary interaction, colonization, creating cultural things affecting others (just like US exporting it's culture and fashion to the rest of the world), astonishing structures etc. In this way CCP could furhter utilize its great designers - they will have a lot of work to create not only technical things like ships/space structures but also something more culture and fashion related like buildings, interiors, items etc. and utilize coming expansions i.e. PI and incarna.
More women in EVE would have imo strong positive effect on culture in text as well as voice channels. They would prevent EVE getting too childish / nerdish as it's getting right now in many cases (just as in RL - think of difference between males with and without a partner or male-only and mixed groups in pubs). In other words women would help to maintain proper level of maturity.
It's also a well known fact that groups [like CSM] work best [rational / creative] when there are both males and females in the group.
Finally, women would make EVE much more fascinating that it is today. Think of wars fought because of women [Troya anyone?], think of new elements that women could bring to EVE, all the cultural stuff, RPG elements, think of them as an opportunity to enhance gameplay, make this game unique among other MMORPGs, bring massive new wave of players and tons of new $ to CCP which all are good things.
Mazz, it's time to destroy sterotypes and show CCP guys that women in EVE would bring many positive things and then massive amount of $$$ for the company. The latter argument would give you a great leverage to push ideas forward even if this means long-term goals.
Think about it, sleep with it, you have my mandate. Don't let it go to waste.

Good bye EVE - Hello WoW/*insert generic MMO here*
By appeling to the masses, you will destroy what make EVE unique.
A cold, dark, none-consentual PVP MMO.

Yeah, don't get me wrong- I definitely think getting more females to EVE is a great idea. I'm really out of ideas though.
One thing i do know is that in the older demographics(20, 30+) female gamers are much rarer in general. And EVE is something that appeals to 'older' people. Among the younger game players the gender ratio is more even.
And the sort of people who are into a sci-fi genre sort of video game are also biased to have a low female population. not sure why.
That's the first things I can think of. I don't know of any constructive way to counter the effect of these issues. i'm totally open to suggestions though.

My ex is 48 and she plays WOW, and was for a long time playing DAoC. I tried to get her into EvE Online, but she found it too complicated.
For a woman to play this game, seeming to be way technical in nature, is rare, I think, because most of the time when I read about MMOs and women playing them, a lot of them are mothers. The demands of WOW and the quest structure so comprised of PVE seem to be more fitting to players who might have to log out at a moments notice. EvE is very demanding, even to single players who don't have kids.

None of you proposals do nothing to help low sec. The reason why low sec is empty is because killmails > everything. Low sec is empty because carebears have been poatched to extinction. You just want CCP to shove carebears in front of your firing squad.
CCP already boosted low sec by adding BS rats, lvl5 and FW lp stores, and did it work? Id say that it even backfired... Now that the gankers have better isk making opportunities, they have even less reason to let a random passerby live.
CCP attepted to fix low sec by increasing rewards, it didnt work... The next step to fix low sec is to start reducing risks. Reducing risks = nerf ganking. Like it or not, but thats the way it is.
Committing crime in low sec has 3 penalties 1. Sec status loss 2. 15min criminal flag 3. Killright
Ganker who already has -10 status literally suffers no penalties at all for committing crimes. He just enjoys hes juicy killmail, while the victim probably lost several hundreds of millions of isk which takes several hours, maybe days to replace. And this is the imbalance which drives carebears out of low sec.
Personally i believe that podding in low sec should result Concord.

The "gankers" you speak of would be the faction warfare corps all with positive secutity status.
You also forgot one tiny bit, going outlaw restricts your movement.
And you completely neglect to explore the 3rd option, adding "unique" content to lowsec which cannot be found anywhere and would benefit the people who live there.
We don't want carebears in lowsec, we wanna bolster the income for those who have taken the step to live there.

You want low sec to have some unique PVE content which is available only for the local population and you dont want "The content" to lure carebears...
1. CCP already boosted low sec income 2. Theres no carebears in low sec 3. The unique content is called lvl5 missions
So according to you low sec is fine?

1) Ummmm - yeah, they added BS rats(single 0.5m to 1.1m) to belts. You can make a whopping 10M isk an hour ratting a 0.1 system.
2) FW
3) Unique lvl 5 mission content which can be done safely in an adjecent highsec.
You need to train reading comprehension, i don't want lowsec to be turned into hello-kitty with your proposed "buffs" to concord and concord internvention.
I don't think low-sec as a whole is totally fubared, all that needs to be done is to have some unique content tailored to the lifestyle in lowsec. Lvl 5 missions are slow static and very prone to being jumped, CCP once talked about "speedboat" mission which could be done in smaller ships and quite different to your average level 4.
Your ideas are just totally stupid IMO and i don't believe you have ever tried to make a living in lowsec.

I think very little people actually make their living in low sec, they either rat in 0.0 or run lvl4 in high sec. People just come to low sec to kill stuff and then rant that there is no targets...
Rewards were already boosted and it didnt have desired effect. This leaves only one solution, which is not boosting rewards even more.
Thats just my opinion...

Someone mentioned moving all the ice fields to lowsec. This could work. It would force some form of commerce involving lowsec. It would mean that 0.0 can't survive alone, and would defiantly "improve" lowsec, at least temporarily. The only thing that wouldn't make sense for that is from an IU perspective, but I think I'm the only one who cares about that.

Some good some bad ideeas. 1 - there are enough entraces to 0.0, not all of them are camped. 2 - better ores is a good ideea for low-sec, it might entice more miners there, but i sincerely doubt it. 3 - you don't get 1.4m bs spawns in most of the 0.0 regions - except for a few choice systems, why should low-sec have it ?
What system have you lived out of now and what systems have you lived out of for the last 2-3yrs. What regions have you operated in the last 2-3yrs ? --- I smack just for myself. Allow faction cap boosters to be traded via normal market ! |

Originally by: Mynxee I am firmly in the camp of wanting more for low sec than just a few tweaks or a handful of extra targets in an adventurous mining op (few of whom would likely pay ransoms or have much of value worth taking anyway). What many of us pirate-minded folk desire is an "outlaw" expansion with outlaw-inspired content that plays up underworld elements connected with outlaws and organized crime. Drugs, gambling, contract hits, turf wars, protection money, calling in favors...all of that and more.
I endorse this sort of thing.

Being -10 is very cumbersome, you have no idea what you're talking about.

There are amply money-making opportunities in lowsec if you're not a complete I don't want any risk carebear, and those will never go to lowsec.
There are enough targets. People want more easy ganks. This does not work so well.

I'd like to point out that those 6 kills were her alts. But if you want to judge people on their actions in game rather than their abilty to intelligently communicate issues to CCP here's something. Gneeznow is an emo quitting ***got and a failed corp thief, (you are meant to keep the ships, not get all teary eyed and hand them back). His knowledge of pirating comes from being able to dual box a falcon/logi alt and run away while crying.
