I could just as easily say: So you can have it in nullsec, but want it in lowsec. But why? Or better still: So you can have it in wormhole space, but want it in nullsec. But why?
The answer is really easy:
Lowsec - no concord
Nullsec - no concord
WH-space - no concord
Why do you want it in hisec so desperately? Looking at this I find it even more alienating to the game to have "no concord" in hisec. I could understand if it would be a kind of mini-wardec (with same mechanic), but this casual-pvp in a safe environment is really... not so Eve.

That's false.
If I was so inclined I could make a safe in jita or any other system, drop a can, have someone loot the can, get suspect flag, shoot suspect, no concord. So:
Hisec (between 2 consenting parties) - no concord
Lowsec - no concord
Nullsec - no concord
WH-space - no concord
The only thing that CCP is doing is making an existing feature transparent. The only real difference between the proposed changes, the current system, and the can flip system that was around for a decade is transparency.
And transparency is universally a good thing. No one likes obfuscated mechanics. |

They were in EvE since 2005 or 2006 AFAIK and got removed in the Retribution expansion.
CCP is merely putting back what they removed, this time providing proper interface instead of jetcan tossing.
This is for everyday "consensual PvP". For "arenas", they were in the game for quite some time too, Alliance tournaments are that way -->
Nothing to discuss here. |

The honor duel mechanic bringing back the ability to pick a fight we had before is fine... but that's probably as far as it should go.
If you really want an arena, the open tournaments (that are going to become much more frequent) should be your goal... with the added perk of having a streaming audience and prizes.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

At least a hello kitty mechanic behind it is.

If you want "arena's" in EVE then go find a place and set it up.
That's the beauty of eve, all the tools to do these things are there and in lace already. You just need to make it so.
Hell, go talk to CVA and I'm sure they'd let you do it in their space, that way, no one takes a sec hit. |

It seems CCP is going with the most simple and sensible option.

Should read, "Accept this challenge and we will dock/redock over and over with neutral logi alts while the ninjas cluster around us like vultures." |
