Infinion Caldari Awesome Corp	Posted - 2011.05.11 17:58:00 - [1] Edited by: Infinion on 11/05/2011 18:00:06 Increasing the chances of pvp by nerfing jump bridges is fine, but maybe that's not exactly what is needed to make pvp fresh again and more frequent. Maybe it's time to look at things that will arouse more interest in roaming for a fight. -Is there a problem with the stargate model we have in eve? Is it fine to have stargates as the most obvious and most frequent place for a pvp encounter or should it occur in more places? -What about looking into tactics? The concept for fleet formations has been around for ages and still has been untouched. It could be a great improvement to a better pvp experience; maybe people will roam as an excuse to look at a cool formation? -What about the idea ccp had to target a ship's subsystems like engines, weapon systems, shields, and then the hull itself? Maybe the whole shield/armor/hull hp of every ship is too simplified and starting to age in our combat system? Why should a ship that is under fire only last for 15 seconds before exploding? Does it need to be that short for it to be scalable in large scale combat? Why does it need to be scalable? Would lengthening the time it takes to kill a ship if you don't target subsystems make losing your ship more fulfilling? What is time worth and why should most of that time be spent making money versus fighting? Would taking longer to die constitute more regret or satisfaction when you think about what it took to earn that ship? If it's currently so easy to avoid a pvp encounter doesn't it raise the question of why it's being avoided and whether fights still offer a quality pvp experience or not? Has pvp become sort of predictable and bland tasting? why is it that over the past 8 years we have been contempt with just adding more ships to the game instead of evolving the core aspects of pvp?

Cant really complain when its you guys who are shaping numbers and fleet comp. Where did those trillions from moon goo go? Why were all the SCs / Titans sold rather than used in house. Where did all that isk go Because sov costs isk. Building Ihub and upgrading them costs ****tons of isk, managing towers costs isk, jumpbridges cost lots of isk, CSAAs cost more isk, subcap reimbursments cost isk, cap reimbursments cost isk, fun costs isk, and with what little is left over from that goes to maybe helping people get a supercap, or it goes to getting a titan for bridging. Everything costs isk, ya know, unless you live in npc 0.0 and cheaters throw billions of isk and supers at you by the truck load. so my question is why do isk faucets and isk sinks have to balance out and why is the cost of fun so short lived? Why do we spend so much time grinding for hours earning isk instead of just constantly losing ships? Exactly how important is value to us and is it worth our time? If it's easy to make money, money wont be so important and less time will be spent trying to make it. Why do you think people don't patrol their space like in all the cool expansions? Because it's not worth their time, they would rather be making isk so they can afford to fly capable ships and afford to take part in pvp more often. Who would care if wealth is amassed or not? If you constantly commit yourself to making isk you will inevitably participate less in pvp. Why do we need a real-world economic model? There's obviously a balance between both making money and pvp but the way i see it right now, it is out of balance and leaning towards the average pilot spending most of their time grinding for isk. edit: and that's a couple of reasons so many people avoid pvp and use jump bridges because either they feel its not worth their time or they can't afford it
