WH space has what you are seeking. Go there.

Nope, **** off to wh space if you dont like it.

Removing local would destroy pvp...

You realize it would take more effort to find fights. So you sort of answer your own question. Lots of people in this game want more frequent pvp not less frequent pvp.

Thats a big reason worm hole space is so sparsely populated.

It's so obvious to anyone who actually PvP's with any frequency I didn't really think I needed to expand on it. Local is a tool, it's a tool to get PvP. Without it the solo pilot is ******, without it the roaming gang is nearly pointless, without it people will be less inclined to PvP because it would be much more work to find targets. Now if the only PvP you experience is blob warfare over structures like in null, then yeah I can see why you would want to get rid of it...however that's not PvP to most of us, not even close.

Another point is removing local will just protect those who do not want to PvP. I'm never interested in anything that will protect carebears, not at all. Seriously if you want to avoid PvP you should just stay in high sec or a worm hole. The brilliance of this game is the risk involved in everything you do, particularly outside of high sec. Without that this game would be like every other **** MMO out there.

I typically specialize in fighting outnumbered and outgunned, there is nothing more enjoyable to me then killing **** while being blobbed and getting away. Without proper intelligence (local) I could never do that. Analyzing the risk (getting blown up) vs the reward (getting killmails) requires things like local to properly determine whether to engage or not, especially when alone. Blob warfare would even be affected, in that case one blob running from another blob would be able to get away without issue due to no local. Again this would be mitigated in null do to bubbles and so forth, but again most of us find null warfare dreadfully boring, and a bit more like pseudo PvP then real PvP.

Local is THE primary catalyst for creating PvP in Eve, removing it would be one of the dumbest thing CCP has ever done...and that's saying a lot :)



EDIT: Also considering you do not PvP http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Shepard+Book
I don't consider your opinion relevant at all, you simply do not have the experience required to even suggest this. If your main is some pvp god then you should post points like this with him so other folks would take you seriously. As it stands your point is laughable with this pvp record.

Have you ever been in something like faction war looking for fights? If you have you would know how important checking local is to find fights. In things like faction war people actually want to pvp its not like the "hunting" you find everywhere else in eve. I think this is what people who live in wormholes and want no local everywhere don't seem to understand.

The number of pvp kills per person is way lower in wormholes. In fact its the lowest for any sec area other than high sec.
