it will happen, just like this idiotic highsec flagging system they want to bring in so the wow community can feel safe. Dramatize the thing enough, make it sound much worse than it is, an CCP will fold EVERY SINGLE TIME.....They know this, an even mission runners have caught onto the fact now that CCP will bend over backwards if you just make enough of a stink on forums. had 2 guys in Scope yesterday said ninjas should be banned for life an they wanted it like miners where they cant be effected by "griefers"...
SO the off grid booster nerf.... yer, it's coming.
For most of us, its never been an issue, but the minority who dont like it, an want things all cuddles an flowers, will make it sound much more dramatic. |

Good luck man, you can feel your IQ slowly killing itself in objection to being subjected to the crap on those forums. It makes crime an punishment look intelligent. (Even SA forums are not as brain dead as wow's)
As for calling people "carebears", no I dont. carebears are just a silly notion made up some idiot. But I do think you new exactly what you were getting when you signed up to EVE. Demanding it be changed to suit your obliviously "safer" idea of what EVE should be is just flat out stupid. |

Are we even talking about the same topic here?

You'e also misinterpreting my intent - I'm all for any advantage for small gangs, but offgrid boosting simply is the wrong way. Maybe you've seen the fubared offgrid, warpcore stabbed, interdiction nullified cov ops cloaked 4 link 'unproabable' probing bonused 4-link tengu fit I posted in the other thread. I have two characters capable of flying that (well - both have caldari cruiser V, but I'd just need ~25 days to train all tengu subsystems to V which I didn't thus far because I hate Tengus), yet I don't because it would be abhorrently lame. However, I know people do and many more are training alts for that purpose and quite frankly, they shouldn't exist. I have a noob T1 frig alt @ ~20 mill SP I use for ***** and giggles, I don't mind KB stats and considering the ship that alt flies, have literally unlimited ressources and know how to avoid blobs, but finding a non-boosted opponent can be frustrating. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for a real beginner.
if I am readning this right, you want 1v1 "fair" fights ?... boosting is just fine as it is. You should remember that there is no such thing as 1v1 an "fair" fights. You do what it takes to win no matter what, end always justifys the means so to speak.
EG...
If I had to bridge 15 Avatars to kill your one vexor, I would do it because it means winning.... |

No - you're reading this entirely wrong. Eve is about getting the other guy engaged in an unfair fight. Offgrid boosting however makes that too easy, so any rich noob can do it and it renders first attempts at solo and small gang pvp extremely frusrtrating for new players. It just adds an option for carebears who are trying to pvp to make it relatively risk free, to discourage the real daring noob. Personally, I'd actually appreciate it if you drop 15 avatars on my vexor, because I'd just call pandemic-phone (although it may not work, because you dropping 15 avatars on me may mean you actually are the lady answering pandemic-phone ;) - besides I'd still call it a victory because your fuel cost would have been way higher than the cost of my ship - so no - you're not the lady answeing pandemic-phone).
lol I was trying to make a point :D.. But I must admit this made me laugh alot. Of coarse in true EVE style this hypothetical fight would quickly get out of control, as I would "ask" my Nulli friends to get involved since they dont care alot for PL :p... all PL would do at that point is get the entire CFC in on the event.... :p
edit, I am not a member of Nulli either :)
on topic, I really never seen off grid boost as an issue. if you force them to only be within fleet then booster becomes useless because he will be the primary every time... instant death. |

I'm not a member of PL either (not anymore for quite some time at least...), but I hope i got the message accross: All offgrid boosters do is giving risk-averse carebears an option to buy into to making their frig alt 'own' with the money they made in highsec incursions whilst any real noob quits in frustration.
Maybe mate, but I would argue that boost isnt so powerful that you automatically win??.. least not in my experience. |

Certainly not, but what's annoying is people claiming that it's hard or risky to use multiple screens and hit dscan every 30 s on one of them, claiming it's a risk to fly an OGB. Who are these people? Cats licking their own balls?
haha good point |
