anyway can anyone recommend any good xbox games, at least i can pay for something and get what i want out of it.

you could always just use the forum evemail system

during the ice interdiction one of our members made billions selling permits just by evemailing people through the forums that he saw on killmails, didn't login once

Such a terribly boring and obvious troll, am I seriously the only one seeing it?

Want shake up Eve, allow high sec moon mining. Otherwise as peeps said get tons of friends and blow stuff up

What no lock yet?

And Weaselior I am disappointed your comebacks are usually better that. Come on, you can do it.

CCP (actually Soundwave) made comments quite a few months ago about altering the moon goo faucet to an active scanning/harvesting mechanic. I believe that comment was meant to calm the chorus of voices protesting this broken game mechanic. By saying "we are looking into it", is a standard political ploy.

However, given the fact that we have heard virtually nothing about this since then from CCP, and the CSM notes made no mention of it, you can rest assured it won't be changing. Looking at this in the most charitable way, the major power blocs have convinced CCP that it is in the best interests of the game to let the power blocs maintain a stranglehold on the most valuable resources.

Why CCP believes them is a very interesting question.

npc corp

implying npc corps aren't purely awesome.
tip: they are.

The fact that CCP hasn't changed it after many years of complaint can only mean one thing: They want it this way. I can see why. It facilitates the big fights, the big ships and promotes the ingame RMT trade......as well as the out of game RMT trade but, noone really talks about that. And I dare say that the majority of CCP's RMT income comes from people in null. So then, why would CCP change it?

ban npc corps, that'll shake up eve

that's actually the best reason i've seen for removing npc corps rather than this made up crap about "people avoiding pvp/wardecs/etc"

simply remove them for the reason of ******* **** up. i like that idea. that's an idea i could get behind if i didn't love my tax free wardec immune little safety blanket.

rmt is funded by bots and 4 of every 5 bots are in empire

that's a cold hard fact straight from CCP, the forge alone has more bots than all of 0.0 put together

Of course people use NPC corps to avoid PVP in a game centered around and driven by consumption of ships and items for PvP - that's true, every reason I've given for removing NPC corps is true and justifies their removal. CCP devs I've talked to are of similar mind, but there's one or two living in a bubble that have yet to receive enlightenment. NPC corps hurt newbies, casuals, emergent content and everything good about EVE - and removing them would 'shake things up' in a way that improves gameplay for all players.

Could you not keep it to a couple of threads?

actually, removing npc corps wouldn't improve game play for me at all. i'd just be vulnerable to war decs with no useful compensation for that.

Why don't you reinforce their pos, then hide when they come to fix it.
Then do it again and again and again and again so it's not profitable.
Then when they start showing up to defend it every time it gets shot at, start turning up, firing a few shots, then hiding.
Then randomly reinforce it when they don't show up to fix it?
I'm pretty sure after a while they'll either just let you have it or offer to pay you x per month to not do what you're doing.
I'd much rather have isk sent to me each month than have to deal with a pos and selling goo.

Bots do not equal RMT

the exact same could be asked about the original topic of this thread, in fact, i'd wager there's more threads on moon goo than there is on removing npc corps.

So would everyone else, passing on additional costs you might incur to the consumer and upping the minimal level of risk any player might incur while playing the game. You making decisions as a result of emergent content is more gameplay, ultimately making EVE a more satisfying game for all involved.
