Originally by: "Marconus Orion" qq everything is so hard for a ****ing ****** like me to understand, o i kno, i'll troll and ***** and whine!
The problem 10 man corps have with getting set up in 0.0 is not mega powerblocks crossing the whole map to crush them. If anyone is crushing them, it's the locals. The real problem though is that the logistics of feasibly holding any amount of territory in nullsec are such that, even if no giant powerblocs or jump bridges existed, it would be nearly impossible without a space-rich, organized group that had reached a certain critical mass size-wise. Such a group could hold 10 systems just as easily as holding one.
TL;DR version: It's too hard because SOV mechanics are too ****ed up and the basic level of logistical organization needed is absurdly high.
Plz learn to troll better.

If only the locals were not part of the same power block that spans the the other side of the map...

So make improvements in how residents can utilize their own space to survive instead of having to constantly suck on Jita's tit?

I agree. The current sov system is ****ed up. If CCP made some improves into local resource gathering in addition to removing titan and POS jump bridges, other things like blockade runners, black ops, jump frieghters and freighter escorts would be more than enough for logistics.
Your problem is you have the mentality of, "Why should I have to put forth effort into logistics when there is Sanctums to be farmed?" on the brain.
Originally by: Pherick Sjang Plz learn to troll better.
So what improvements to sov could CCP do to improve on say, paying for a sov bill? They could make it fully automated so each month it pays the bill and people don't wake up to no sov at all.

Try doing the same thing in, say, delve, querious or period basis. There's probably no JB network there now (that's being used for defensive purposes anyways, I've no idea how the 3 corps still left in IT are using it, if at all), then come back and ***** and moan like the little ***** you are about "power bloc" (not block) that spans "the the" other side of the map.
Originally by: Marconus Orion So make improvements in how residents can utilize their own space to survive instead of having to constantly suck on Jita's tit?
Tell CCP that. They're the ones that have essentially made it so deklein can't make more than 6 minutes worth of T2 ammo for a full maelstrom fleet (the slowest firing BS in the game), or 2 days worth of ratting ammo (i.e. missiles) pr day, which means we essentially HAVE to suck on Jita's teat (not tit). And that's during peace-time. Imagine doing the same thing during wartime.

What kind of local resource gathering would you propose to make it easy to gather sufficient amount of minerals etc to build up (and maintain) a subcap, capital and supercapital fleet (let alone POSes, POS fuel, non-combat ships, etc etc etc) within a reasonable amount of solar systems?
Keep in mind that with the current game mechanics, 1 neutral/red guy sitting in a solar system, cloaked and possibly even AFK, is enough to completely shut it down for industrial uses.

So what you are saying is if I invaded NC all 55k of their bandwagon wouldnt join in, because theres some pets I would like to kill, would go after RAWR but you guys have yaay and well thats an IWIN button on its own.
The funny thing about the last several comments is the Orion guy brings up pretty valid points that most people criticise the NC for anyway.
You guys are trying to make it easier for yourself just so you can jew up more moon goo and make it easier to control more space.
Oh and an alliance doesnt just have to have 5 people manage the logistics, the whole idea of 0.0 is group work not 5 people get the credit for 5000 people :P .

Originally by: Marconus Orion freighter escorts
Ahaha do you even PvP? How do you suggest I escort a freighter? A 15 man fleet averaging 400 dps will kill a freighter in 30 seconds and they certainly aren't going to shoot the escort first. People regularly drop dreads on jump freighters at bridges just for fun. Perhaps a freighter 'escort' should be 2000 people so that the nodes can't fit any hostiles.

Because the AFK cloakers can easily be containing a cyno to hotdrop a ratting carrier/supercarrier, or they can easily provide just enough DPS to supplement rats to kill off your mining or ratting ship. And there's ****-all you can do about them short of ignoring them, which will get you killed.
This isn't rocket science.

I usually don't do this, but I'm having a hard time taking anyone with 42 kills over a 3 year period seriously when it comes to how 0.0 works.

Guys you dont get it owning space in 0.0 is supposed to be awful and tedious and not even slightly fun! You're supposed to spend hours every day escorting freighters around and babysitting miners!
What do you think this is, some kind of game?

Why do people in the Northern Coalition keep saying they are in the Deklein Coalition? There is a coalition within a coalition???

Anyone who makes the serious argument that CCP should "do something to break up power blocs" is an utter moron. People will play with whoever they want to play with. Before alliances existed in-game, corporations worked together. I can't speak for ALL of the current power blocs, but the Northern Coalition and Deklein Coalition are bound together (both within their own members and to each other) by bonds of friendship and mutual spaceship brotherhood. There are no game play mechanics that can dictate who players want to associate with. Never mind that virtually all of the organizational tools to organize and maintain Eve's power blocs are done via third party sites and platforms that CCP can't control.
If you want to "BREAK UP THE NC OH GOD" then YOU'RE going to have to do it. Don't sit on your ass and expect CCP to handle it. Players took down Phoenix Alliance, Ascendant Frontier, Band of Brothers (and all their vassals), and IT Alliance (and all THEIR vassals).
Now let's get back on topic. CCP's GM team needs serious improvement. There are lots of possible causes and possible solutions. Try to come up with some, instead of crying about how the NC is killing Eve.

This thread wasnt even anything todo with KILLING NC, it is todo with mechanics and the fact that Vuk Lau quit EVE for WOW because GMs wont give him special treatment.
NC make a campaign to take over CSM focusing on making 0.0 easier, they also announce that the whole 'Controlling CSM' was to protect jump bridges and PUNISH non-sov holding alliances.
Then about two weeks later, Mittani pops up and goes "they are all lying to you", rages about something that makes no sense, flames everyone that isnt him, then *****es like a little girl on k.com
Can you really expect anyone (that isnt brown nosing) to take you guys serious.
Not only that Mittani couldnt even answer questions on the Vote Match and half of his answers were "CCP have a back log" yeh no ****.
We are aware of how to kill NC with the current mechanics, it doesnt take a genius to work out what would happen if everyone aligned and took out NC.
The problem is, the second you guys are dead DRF will replace you, how is that any better than the current situation, the current mechanics promote blobbing and number warfare that makes it impossible todo anything WITHOUT huge numbers THIS is the problem.
Do explain how this is considered good game play? .

The question still remains, why did Mittani even make this thread?
All it did was make NC look worse than it is (if thats even possible), Mittani look like a inconsistent sociopath (which was obvious) and Vuk Lau like an emotional kid throwing a tantrum (:yaay:).
Im sure this wasnt the plan but with Mittani trying so hard to mimic his predecessors its hard to tell .

The game mechanics don't promote blobbing - human nature does that all by itself. I don't see CCP being able to change that in any expansion or patch.

I think it was a pre-arranged stunt by Mittens supposed to 'prove' his assertion ("They're lying to you") that CCP don't care about the CSM. He expected us to be outraged, at marvel the martyrdom of Vuk taking a stand. Instead all it proved is that one of Mitten's main rolemodels on the CSM and closest allies had a childish tantrum and tried to influence the petitions of his friends.

Originally by: The Mittani
Originally by: Vuk Lau Last night I resigned as CSM delegate.
One of my main goals was pointing how horrible CCP customer support is. For me this was top priority especially if we take into consideration that EVE is extremely complex, undocumented and bugged product. Sadly I didnt had support from both the rest of the CSM and from the CCP. CCP is living in their heaven of faulty statistic and biased circlejerk reports.
As some of you know when I raised the issue of INcompetence of GM department http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Competence_of_the_GM_department_ CSM http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1135590 http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1137322 and during the meeting I realized how deeply goes the problem of customer support.
Anyway after raising that issue I received plenty of :facepalm: material from customers and from the current and former GMs who were unhappy how things are working. Later on, many of the pilots were contacting me for help with petitions where i even further realized how crappy things are.
I started preparing issue to be raised again, but didnt got any feedback from CCP, just to be surprised with one of the most embarrassing devblogs ever - Devblog about change of the reimbursement policies. I already started boiling, but then this week happened, the week before the Fanfest trip. I had 4 personal petitions (I will not even touch the subject of petitions I am handling for other players because of :facepalm:) in last couple of days, 2 are still unanswered, 1 is escalated and 1 I closed after two GMs copy/pasting answers without even reading what I wrote.
This combined with embarrassing discussion about 0.0 future with main game designers resulted in my decision to resign. I know I have only 2 weeks left, but going on Fanfest and smiling there how CSM is awesome :stakeholders: while I got nothing but crap in the face from CCP will be something I would regret it. Not to mention that I would most likely barely restrain from raping some of them. *snip*
Tl;dr - CSM member expected to get his way, but didn't get his way and was so distraught over the resulting moral dilemma that he had no choice but to resign two weeks before his term was up.

Originally by: The Mittani TheyÆre lying to you.
All the promises from the CSM candidates, all the æissuesÆ and æfeaturesÆ theyÆre going to address - itÆs all a pack of lies. For years now we have witnessed the same ritual take place in every CSM election. The candidates line up and tell you what they would do if they were given the power to be a game designer. During the first CSM summit CCP made it clear that they arenÆt looking for amateur game developers, and on this fact they have never wavered. Yet the candidates have woven the same tapestry of lies for each successive election. TheyÆd remove local, theyÆd make it harder to suicide gank, theyÆd protect the interests of the common player (whatever the hell that means), theyÆd bring æreal reformÆ to CCP.
Quite how you interpreted the above as Mittens asserting "that CCP don't care about CSM" is beyond me.

No, see, in order for an insult about reading skills to have any weight, the person saying it has to not demonstrate their cluelessness in that very comment. Mittens said, correctly, that CCP treats the CSM as a focus group. That doesn't mean that they don't care about them, just that they care about them only as a focus group. This is basic.
Then again, as you're still hunting after a conspiracy theory, maybe that point is lost. ------------------------------------------------

The assertion made that you referenced ("They're lying to you") is very much referring to the CSM candidates who are promising all kinds of shiny stuff and new features, not CCP.
Originally by: The Mittani We play their game, we pay their upkeep, we use their features and we suffer from their shortsightedness. For this they give us one resource, the CSM, and they treat it like a mere focus group, not a stakeholder to be respected.
Mittens asserts that CCP are treating CSM as a focus group not a stakeholder. This is somewhat distinct from asserting that they don't care about it.
Politics are crap, largely because people misinterpret and extrapolate what others say, and then hold them to those misinterpretations/extrapolations, kiddo.
Vote for me - I like to make sure we're all clear on exactly what people do and don't say.
