Eve's Destiny has been Corrupted.
Who is to blame?
CCP is the one to blame. Not the gankers who think its ok to take what isnt theres, Not the bears who think its ok to travel with 50bill in an non-escorted freighter. Eve's PVE forces the goons and others to gank. Why grind isk for 20 hours when we can gank a freighter and have all that isk right now? The ability to make isk is not hard but takes a ton of time. And if you need to amass a huge amount of it, better pack a lunch. Granted one could make the isk (in time) but why when the aforementioned ability is present, Right now. The bounty thing wont effect ganking because most hisec dwellers are scared to fight anyway. So trying to force them to "white knight" is silly and sure to backfire.
Where does this freighter isk come from?
The isk we see in these freighter ganks is nullsec complex loot (or at least a good portion of it). Where else can you score Pith x-type mods Or Corelli a-type EANM's? Who owns the space with these flashy mod drops? Yeah. You guessed it. The same guys doin the ganking. This whole topic and crimewatch in general is all about the mighty isk. Just as in real life. Everything revolves around isk, Weather its being destroyed or attained CCP keep us fighting for it every second we're logged in.
What causes things to change?
If an isk faucet gets turned off, Players find another to turn on. Just as with the incursion nerf and FW. People will find easier ways to make the isk they need. Whether its through ganks or mining ops. Both sides are to blame for eve's current state. Everyone is lazy. And no one wants to put in the time nec. to make the isk needed to fund w/e is planned down the pipe. Most of the reaosn lies behind the amount of time it takes to acquire said isks.
Did freighter ganks happen in hisec before the nerfs mentioned? Yes. but not nearly as much as now. Why? Because easy ways to generate isk that didnt take a fleet of 12 or more are not present. 10/10 complexes are not soloable (most of them). So why bring a fleet of 5 when the pay is goin to be only enough for 1? Instead we bring no one to do the complex, Wait for some bear to doit and plenty of others then gather a fleet to gank the whole bundle.
Why change anything?
All of this revolves around the time it takes to acquire a substantial amount of isk. Ask gankers why they doit. Most responses are not going to be "because its fun" they will be "because there is easy isk to be made in it". And what do we all need? ISK.
I have recently started to call eve Time Sink Online. CCP wants people have to play more and do repetitive tasks for very little gain. This is the way it is in hisec and nullsec. And just so happens how it is in every game. The Devs want us to spend all of our time trying to get somewhere. But here we are yelling and blaming each other. Im a PVPbear. Caring about the state of everyones game. I like to PVE and PVP. And the amount of time spent worrying about who is making isk faster or more efficiently is always directed at the players opposite of your playstyle. When it should really be focused upon CCP for giving us such time consuming ways to enjoy the game they created. Give us More PVE content in Hisec Lowsec and Nullsec (WH included). PVP will happen as it always has. We are human. We strive for conflict. Even in areas where conflict shouldnt exist.
We are wasting our time yelling at eachother about being "right". For to long have we ran the same damsel in distress mission. or killed yet another wave of the same sleepers, or thwarted another incursion by the nasty sansha, or laid waste to yet another whole belt of roids, Or formed up for yet another timer. Nullsec is a wasteland due to the timers and difficulty in general of how hard it is to make isk in hostile space. There is a severe lack of people willing to spend any considerable amount of time doing the same thing over and over and over. Even in the real world. Everyone wants what they want now. We live in the now generation ive heard said numerous times.
Both sides are right and wrong, and are fighting the wrong enemy. The real enemy here is CCP! |
