LHA Tarawa Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 234	Posted - 2013.01.18 21:15:00 - [1] - Quote 1) Not enough boom. Examine why people are reluctant to fight. Do not want to show up on a kill board. Do not want to encourage continued/additional war decs. Fear of hot drops. Out of corp alts. Targets logoff in the location they expect a fight, then login and are instantly in the fight. fix: War dec's suck for industrial corps. They shut down all missioning/mining. Hard to meet my monthly nut of 2.4B ISK for 4 PLEX, when I can't make any ISK for weeks on end. Because war decs suck so much, we really, really go out of our way to avoid them. This means avoiding showing up on kill board, and not giving any kills to the war decs we do get. Fighting back just causes the war to be extended. Make war decs suck less, and we're more likely to fight back. How? Make them limited to a system/constellation/region. Make the cost exponentially increase as the number of systems the copr/alliance has active decs in. Now, war dec is not horrid suck, so we don't do everything we can to avoid them, so we are more likely to fight back. In addition to that, * ship mountable cyno jammer to block hot drops * criminal flag for remote assisting anyone in a war that has a PVP flag to get rid of the out of corp repair alts. * Timer after login before you can activate modules against another ship, unless they fire on you first. 2) Why group play? I can make more money mission running or mining with me and my alts, than I can in a larger group. In a group, we have to move between mission or belts more often. fix: beats me. I don't know what a group could do that I can't do with my 4 accounts. 3) Why leave high sec? Null sec has been made so safe by its inhabitants, that the null and low sec ores pay basically the same value as high sec. fix: beats me: Capping the amount of resources in null, would encourage the locals to keep their groups small and would create massive wealth disparity. Make the resources unlimited to lift the cap on the number of people that can participate, and you get the situation we have now where null and low are no more profitable than high. You could do things like making the higher end version of the ores more drastic, and only appear in lower sec. Veld = current. Concentrated = 50% more than norm and only in low. Dense = 100% more than norm and only in null/wh. I suspect the result of this would be similar to what was happening after dominion where null residents were seeing wallets grow hyper fat in short order. Null being just as safe but twice as productive would crush mineral prices for high sec miners. But, at least my corp mates would be able to provide an answer to my question, why not just mine in high sec where it is safer and easier? 4) Balancing the desires of those that want to mess with others, with those that want to play the game without being messed with. Make it too hard to mess with people, then the hunters quit the game. Make it too easy, and the people that don't want to be messed with quit the game. fix: get those that want to mess with others, to mess with others that want to be mess with others. PVPers need to focus on PVPing each other instead of thinking of carebears as targets. Improved drops? Tough to do without encouraging people to kill their own alts? I'd like to see some kind of official kill board with a weighted points that reward killing people that have killed lots of other people, while providing little to no points for killing someone with few if any kills. Repeatedly killing the same player produces fewer points. Top killers become top killers by killing other top killers, not by wasting time war deccing miners or mission runners.

Seven Koskanaiken Open University of Celestial Hardship Art of War Alliance 119	Posted - 2013.01.18 21:27:00 - [4] - Quote i read a book called Thinking in Systems recently the idea is, everything is a system and only the effects are the visible part of the iceberg, the system is hidden underneath also the point that the most intuitive fixes to a system are often the wrong ones and lead to even worse outcomes and just amplify the orignal unwanted effects (politics is full of this), and also that the most common leverage points people make changes to first are often the least effective and sometimes totally noneffective, and the most effective leverage points are the ones which are ignored or not given attention i think the dev of this game should all be given a copy to read before making any more "fixes"

Pretty sure last time I looked New Eden is full of PVP groups trying to punch each other in the face. Also, don't assume that non PVP ship kills are people greifing carebears. It is entirely plausible that organisations are blaping each other's ISK incomes. Try to see that warfare in EVE is not just PVP like it would be in an FPS game or a PVP arena in some nancy MMO. Most of the fights, the serious ones, the ones that matter... matter. The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures.

Yes, improved drops from ships killed will make gankers want to kill other gankers.....AND miners, AND haulers, AND pretty much everything that moves, and some things that dont. *Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?*

Hint: it's not.

Break down the process, analyze the data, form a theory based on objective evidence, test the design/solution, prove the design/solution, implement the design/solution, measure the results. Rinse, repeat. Unfortunately the number one thing people point to when something goes wrong is people. Not surprising is that they never point to themselves.

Mars Theran Red Rogue Squadron 1601	Posted - 2013.01.20 20:00:00 - [25] - Quote 1) The answer is obvious; losing ships costs ISK. 2) You can make more ISK in a group; mission running is not the way to do this. To some extent, this can also be done with many alts. There are somewhat severe limitations on this. 3) Capping resources in Null? I assume you mean Highsec and this was a mistype. I'm all for capping Highsec resources. 4) No. Current systems in place are enough, and to some extent they encourage PvP by parties that wouldn't normally do so. Dueling will be another option that will make this more likely to some extent by limiting the engagements even further. Preventing player aggression is not an answer. Limiting by introducing consequence where it is realistic to have it is fine. This has been done. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub
