guys guys Eve would be so much more fun if there were no standings or sov or anything. It would be RANDOM and WACKY and MONKEY CHEESE PANTS xD xD xD

the game should be easier for me because i am friendless and alone so i hate people with social skills

The weird distribution of moons wouldn't be so much of an issue if CCP didn't insist on 'fixing the issue' by making a moon mineral that only spawns in certain places the new bottle neck & ignoring the players that tell them this will be a problem. They could keep the moon distribution the same, yet balance things out by not having singular bottle neck resources.

For all the criticism the OP is taking, EVE did actually "work" completely for quite some time and it didnt stop alliances from having fun at the time. Even without moons.

People would keep long lists in Excel/Google Docs of friendly pilots/corps, updated daily, which you have to check each time you see someone in local

sounds fun

done.
i' m not sure who would be able to offer the most reward to a web programmer to do such a thing for their group
a small alliance, or a large alliance with moons and stuff
perhaps one of our highsec experts could tell us

I smiled when you got to the part about anchoring cans.

But, can you understand my perspective? People like myself, who think such things are actually entertaining and who can maybe do them a little more efficiently than you, have our real-world advantage virtually erased by algorithms and resources dedicated to doing just that, making you and me equal. To me, it's like playing a first-person shooter with a perfect auto-aiming function or playing a chess program that never lets me make a bad move.

An interesting question about this game and generally any game is: Which traits/abilities/capacities does it reward?

Now tell everyone just how many people were in null when it was "working" then.

Yes, why don't we remove two things that brings groups of players together...

...in a multi-player game.

Well done Einstein.

these guys think alliances exist because of the alliance standing ticker, instead of the other way around

and taking away a functional tool just to make people's gameplay require they have a ****** time doing it the hard way doesn't stop them having blues and doesn't make for entertaining gameplay

let's remove everything that trivially inconveniences diplomatically incompetent groups

Which one is it?

The fact that so many of you are getting your panties bunched up is clear evidence the automated identify-friend-or-foe function is quite important. Just admit that a good portion of your "friends" couldn't discriminate their anus from their nostril and they need EVE to pin a note to the chest of every other player instructing them whether or not to shoot.

The alliance mechanic is simply CCP internalizing in the client tools and mechanics that already existed outside of game. If we're talking about removing mechanics that protect skillless players, we can start with NPC corps.

Are dipolmatic settings a valuable tool? Would taking them out cause players to have a ****** time? Would it ruin EVE for them? Or, is the inconvenience trivial? Or, Andski, are you calling Benny Ohu and his group "diplomatically incompetent"? And, should the game emphasize "diplomatic competence" (whatever that means)?

But all im asking for is equality. Why is the way YOU play eve more correct than mine?

Why does it cost ISK to wardec somebody yet setting someone blue is free?
CCP please make it cost ISK setting blue based on corp/alliance size, exactly like the wardec system. Also it would be a great ISK sink and we all know you've been looking for those.

This one would even make sence.

posting dumb ideas on the forums should kill you ingame

now thats a good idea

As goes for sovereignty. An alliance should still be able to anchor bridges and jammes as long as they had the only posses anchored in a system.

Pre-Exodus sov map that preceded sov and alliances. Alliances were still there. You should always agree with me because I am always right.

I find it funny when people answer something luZk posted. The only thing you manage to prove is that you are intellectually inferior to an average brickGǪ. Funny how many CFC answered here.

I like this better than this http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/verite/influence.png

Then break up the empires that thousands of people worked together to build through years of effort.

There is literally nothing stopping you except for your laziness and you inability to attract friends.
