It needs a nerf to income anyway, without being made safer, as part of addressing the risk/reward balance between high, low and nullsec.

I'd actually argue that the low level highsec stuff needs a buff. Newbies really don't get paid enough.

That's a load of crap. You're basically saying all pvp in highsec is a result of someone wanting to childishly irk someone else. That's a silly statement and you know it. Even if it wasn't though, you haven't provided any reason why doing that shouldn't be mechanically possible, other than saying you don't want it to be.
I think things are out of whack. PVE people want to PVE and not be ganked, you want to go gank them. I want to PVP people like you but you want to hide in hisec hypocritically under the same Concord protection that the PVE people enjoy that you bemoan. I know what you are doing in a hisec belt in your Thrasher but I can't jack you because you are just as safe as the carebears until you decide at your safe leisure to LOLOVERHEATPEWPEWW. PVP is like spinach, if you are forced to have it when you are young you don't want it when you grow up. Let the PVE people skill up, mine, make isk in peace in hisec and then let them get rich and bored and come to low null and play. You griefers cause your own problem, you turn noobs off to PVP from the start and they just never want to get into PVP.
The mere thought that people like you, whitehound and march rabbit may be influencing this game with your idiotic, self-righteous soccer mom ideologies makes me sad for the future of this game. Can't you clowns just go play any one of the bajillion mmos-on-rails that already exist? As a small time highsec player, the only thing that keeps me subbed is the potential for unconsensual pvp. If I want pure pve, theres 100 games out there that do it better. The day my tengu is immune to ganks in hi-sec is the day I hang up my subs.
Btw, they dont get rich and bored. They get bored and quit..........

No, I don't drink. I see the extreme buff to mining barges as the direct result of Hulkageddon and after Goons joined up with Helicity Boson.
You can try and make me believe I had super powers and my comments will change EVE in unseen ways...
Yet I still won't believe that EVE gets turned into a theme park because of me and my comments. I rather believe it is because of the way Goons & Co. play EVE. |

In return I'm telling you your argument is a strawman one since in this very same forum and thread some say Eve is becoming a theme park game and others asking for a full pvp server everywhere from VFK-IV up to Jita.
Why would we ask for what we already have?

No, if CCP changes anything it's because carebears and pubbies whine to them. That may in turn be a response to the way 'Goons & Co' play EVE, but that's because that is how EVE is played.

Yes you do. You keep saying over and over that it would be ok with you if high sec was turned into a pvp free themepark.
You said it wouldn't impact the rest of the game.
Even though it woudl destroy the economy, and cause a massive amount of people to quit.
Just because you don't want to intentionally destroy EVE, doesn't mean that if CCP ever did what you wanted it woudln't. It very much would.
So yeah, you want ruin EVE by turning high sec into a pvpless themepark.
Let's not get into personal remarks. It's a forum, you have no idea how I really "take" things.
Just because I'm posting in a discussion about a game I play doesn't mean I'm "taking it serious". My health occupies all the time I have for serious.

I see no difference in players who whine over ship losses, and those, who whine over game changes and how a game should be played. |

Eve is a niche mmo and will always be a niche mmo.
But it's been niche for nearly 10 years, while countless huge budget theme park mmos erupt into being in an explosion of hype before fizzling out in a prompt whisp of decline and disappointment.
It's true that gaming is getting bigger, and appealing to a wider audience, but that means the niche will just get bigger, and a fraction of newer gamers will get bored of being treated like a lost crackhead in a sweetshop and look for something more.
Some of them will find some unintuitive and unfair internet spaceship game, and will ******* love it.
Also, right now, there really are just two MMOs that haven't gone F2P, or look like they're going that way soon. Wow, king of the theme park, and Eve, king of the sandbox. And with no sand to throw, all you have is a box, and no one is going to pay to sit in your box, no matter what a couple of delusional ccp devs might have said.
Anyway, the sociopathic, anti-newbie neckbeards of eve are just so goshdarn nice, first time I got popped during the tender days of my trial, the guy explained afterwards the importance of/how to make safe spots on top of teaching me how to use the D-scanner and was even kind enough to hunt me down in every low-sec radar site found for the next few days just to make sure I'd learned something. Can't say that for any other mmo I've played before or since.
X3 provides all the action of eve without the risk or need to communicate with humans, and I found that game to be dull as ****. But it sounds like many on these forums should check it out, or wait for Wing Commander (almost)Online.

WE are the consumer base. NEW players are wanted, but are not the consumer base.
A drastic change to the game will cause a mass exit of current players. That will never be forgotten, and it will only stick to CCP until the day they close up EVE.
Speak for yourself, you would not leave and everyone knows it, Goons have the curse of MMO celebrity status, you can't leave because there is no other game where you could have so much power and be a star. I give you credit for being a household name and an MMO star, but no, you guys can't leave so stop threatening. You would cry and whine but you would not leave. You guys will be here in 10 years bitching about cupcake ships and magic star launchers, but you won't leave until they pull the plug.

I don't think Rfit gets the credit it deserves, and I don't think Trion will be going FTP with that anytime soon.
And Rift is the only themepark MMO sinse WoW that has managed to sustain itself with a subscription.
Probably becuse trion is very agressive about including new things to the game on a rather regular basis.
Players wanted housing, they got it. They wanted 3 faction pvp, they got it. They wanted shorter Q's for dungeons and battlegrounds, they got it. They wanted new ways to play their characters, they got it. They wanted new ways to play in general, more open world pvp, more events, mounts, armours, etc, and they got it.
Trion seems to undertand that if you want to grow your game, you give the players MORE content. You don't alter the foundation of your game in effort to appeal to people who were never your target market anyways.
Kind of like how CCP has, for the most part, found new ways to play in space, and stuck to their sandbox market. All the while they've been able to continue growing. If they want to see more growth beyond 2012, they'll have to make new content, not just do more of the same, and sure as hell not deviate from it's core principles of being a sandbox. |

I was the guild leader of a guild doing both (even got a video on youtube showing us doing T2.5). I loved *that* WoW, the WoW where Onyxia was a badass boss able to wipe everybody in 10 seconds, where the 2nd boss in T2 was so awesome for its unique setting, where people could go around Tarren Mill and kill without stupid immortal guards. The outdoor bosses that would cause never ending PvP...
Then WoW became... well... WoW.
I'd hate EvE fell down the same spiralling path. Yes WoW mk 1 had "just" 550k subs but was so qualitatively rewarding than the sequels. I don't want EvE mk 2.

A PLEX is real money.
Edit: Badly phrased. A PLEX is worth real money to CCP and if he stops paying his subscription by PLEXes that's still bad for CCP.

This very well could be the underlying problem.
In the minutes it was asked of the CSM members, If EVE was bascially sword and sorcery would they still play it, and they said unanimously YES.
Bascially, the sandbox is more important than the setting. I agee with that.
Spaceships are a plus, but it's the sandbox that keeps me here.
People that want a themepark aren't here for the sandbox, they're here for the spacships; so they could give a **** if the game changed focus.
For some of us, it's sandbox over spaceships.
For the horrible among us it's the spaceships over the sandbox.
They're easy to spot. They usually have an arguement that involves "it's a sandbox, I should be able to play how I want without you effecting me."
They don't give a **** about the sand or the box, they just want to fly spaceships. That's fine, nothing wrong with that at all. It's only problem when they open their mouths. |

6 or 7 months ago.
I don't use plex, I pay a year at a time, for two accounts, out of my own pocket.
For the reccord, I tried the plex thing, and it just made me hate the game. I don't want to play in order to pay my account, I prefer the play for fun method. |

Not just thousands. More like tens of thousands. I'd be gone as soon as they announced some crap like what some of people above are suggesting. Take away pvp in high sec, suicide ganks and all. Good riddance to the market. Nothing would sell because it would be swamped. Bad enough we have people that sit around in faction ships with officer fits that do nothing but wow raids in space. |

I thought that was A Tale in the Desert, or Hearth and Home or whatever it's called.
You know those "sandbox" mmo's that few people play and no one ever talks about, that have no PvP. I believe the later doesn't even have fighting of any sort.
But those aren't spaceship games, so the horribles of EVE don't care about ruining them. |

Problem: We already have sandbox. CCP can't do "more" sandbox; it's an absolute term, like "complete". You can't have "more complete." They can take the sandbox away, change it into something else, I'll grant you that, but what you want already is. Box, sand. Done.
They can, however, do more spaceships. Pertaining to EVE, and not DUST and other games, that's about the only thing they can do.
So while you would very much like to keep the sandbox, "the horrible" are actually giving CCP an answer when they ask themselves "wtf can we do next, anybody with any imagination speak up?", I mean when they have their pre-development meetings.
And THAT is the problem you have. |

Good luck explaining that to potential investors. Here is my point. If an Uber Rich Player who has been amassing billions since the Bush administration just buys a PLEX with in game money and never pays a real dime he is not as valuable as the new guy who has to sub AND buy a PLEX with real money to get the cool new ship he wants. See here is the catch. People blast Blizzard for this because they went hardcore mainstream. Blizzard figured out that after half a decade anyone who wanted to play wow had done it by then, that is the same with EVE, if you haven't gotten into the "cold harsh scam libertatian utopia" with it's harsh death penalty by now, you probably don't want to. I would like to see the trial to sub ratio as I heard it was abysmal. So now there is the big question, what next? I don't pretend to have the answer but like I said, by after 10 years you either are into the "cold, harsh yadda, yadda" or not. Now what to do with those that are not? I think it is a mistake to bet the farm on the old vets as well, the republican party doubled down on the "old timers" and their pep rallies look like a nursing home fire drill. You need young blood to survive and grow.
