EVE's version of scientology or something?


Tl;DR

I fully intended to respond to this with some obscure silly activity that is technically a PvE only activity, but I actually can't think of one.

Ship spinning at the dock.

See how big you can make the number at the bottom.

Only if you're spinning a noobship, though.

Actually, claiming your first nubship requires undocking at least once. This is unacceptable for a PvE-only character and so you must confine yourself to pod spinning.

This is entirely inadequate, Eve pilots deserve better PvE encounters than just pod spinning. I would like to propose an auto pod spin feature! one that is clearly labeled and easily understood. Perhaps the space bar. With red octagons throughout the hanger labeled "STOP" in languages and fonts clearly understandable by all player skill levels.

AFK spinning...?

Let it hereby be known by all that AFK pod spinning has been determined to be the only PVE activity in the game.

Yay!!! I'm a pvper.

Am I the only sensible ******* in the game?

To think James is on a crusade to change immergent gameplay is laughable at best.

He is using game play mechanics to usher in entertainment and profit. Bottom line. And tbh it's not half bad.

However, I refuse to stomach that he's is some pious deity set out to fix the game and/or community.

Sure there will be tears from a section of the community who in the past only had to worry about 1% chance of a suicide gank. However, Jame's actions does not affect the game as a whole nor have any significant ripple effect other than a dead horse topic on the forums.

The game grows because things like that were balanced out of the game. Carebears and mixed playstyles are allowing the game to grow but misguided players want to cut that away. For shame. Ganker mouth breather, for shame.


Dont let these null sec masters of deception and misinformation lead you around by the nose. Who will you gank when there is no one left to gank?

Puppet Masters at work. The dogs are hunting. Juice is a source of sugar. Do your homework.

The fact of the matter is that catering to carebears is more profitable. If CCP wants more money, they'll stop the carebear hate, or at least stop us from getting bullied.

Got any proof of that, mate? Look at all the other MMOs that cater to carebears and follow the wow-trend: They're wastelands after the initial bubble bursts. SWTOR had to go Free to Play after a ridiculously short time it was so abysmal, and that was one of the new MMOs that had the best chance at succeeding (franchise recognition, the team behind it, the massive resources available to them, etc)

Conversely, we have ten straight years of evidence suggesting that catering to the be-an-*******-in-a-sandbox crowd works just fine, and the occasional blip along the way have been a result of NOT focusing on things for that crowd (eg incarna)

Lord whatever is trolling.

Please ignore him.

I am fighting to change Eve, just like James is, but I am fighting so it's more accessible to more people, rather than douche central like it is now.

And how exactly do you think Eve could be modified to prevent one segment of the player base from "bullying" another while still allowing for open interaction between players? I've read a few of your posts and I don't see what it is that you want. At first I thought you were a lowsec dweller, the last few posts have finally convinced me otherwise.

What is it that you want to see in Eve?

You want to be safe? And not forced to interact with others? Highsec.

Part 6

He has a following, he has effectively polarized the playerbase

Nope, nowhere in Eve are you safe or immune from the actions of others.

Too bad, so sad. Never gonna happen.

You want to be safe? And not forced to interact with others? Highsec.

Want to dip your toes into piracy and PVP? Lowsec

Easy. I want Eve to lure in all kinds of players. Casuals, hardcores, PVE, PVP, Carebears, everyone. A truly diverse New Eden.

You want to be safe? And not forced to interact with others? Highsec.

Want to dip your toes into piracy and PVP? Lowsec

You want to have a player-created and controlled area where anything can happen? Nullsec, where the players are left to their machinations. But also don't go whining to CCP about people comfortable in highsec when the null dwellers have become as risk-averse as you perceive highseccers to be because you've blued everyone. That is what the New Order, and much of nullsec is guilty of, and they're just blaming highsec because we don't appreciate griefing and nonconsensual PVP.
