Tell that to Mittani as far as I know he hardly logs in and according to you does feck all for EVE????

It's the one thing I love about EVE more than anything is that even though I can only log in for 5-6 hours a week I can still do the same as some no life fectard who spends all his time playing this.
How about rewarding the people who have spent money playing this for years and years by "not" having a cost that only hurts players who have been loyal to the brand.

Muppet.

You can choose to pvp with implants or not, this is not a factor preventing "some" from pvp.

Jump clone timer and POD cost, are.

I'm almost on 90mil and pod cost does nothing to stop me making other people explode.

What? Is the risk factor of permadeath or actually standing to lose skillpoints too much for the hard core pvpers of Eve?

what did your clones cost when you started out?

Sure, lets remove all Isk sinks for the entitled, loyal players. Just because they're special.

no idea, never really paid any mind to it.

That said, I'll also happily suicide jump myself across space for a fight if need be, even if I have a head full of implants.

I can always get more isk

Ahh so I basically made your argument invalid you're now changing your argument to something else ...ok keep trying.

Aye but if you were risk adverse and getting podded constantly due to 'mistakes' then you might feel differently about it is what I'm getting at.

Implants is my bet.

Such things are pretty much the definition of fair, since everyone who pays more or less the same amount gains the same benefit and the cost doesn't vary according to irrelevant stats.

I have a low SP alt for all my pvp shenanigans, has negligible clone costs

Uh?! What do you mean? When you get podded your current clone/body is destoryed and you wake up in the clone you previously stored in the medical station.

Then you pay (if you want) to buy a new backup clone stored.

I'm almost on 90mil sp and pod cost does nothing to stop me making other people explode.

Mainly because I go out with the expectation that I'll make more of their stuff die before I die. That and the isk coming in from that covers losses

Lets forget for a moment the Darwin issue of forgetting to upgrade/renew you medical clone and losing SP.

If free medical clones were provided to all players would this encourage more people to participate in PVP?

Players with over 100 mil SP are sometimes averted to PVP because of the cost of replacement clones at that level. Even lower level players can be drained having to replace countless clones. Without the worry of losing 10x or more the cost of the T1 firgate you are flying I think more players would be more willing to give it a try. At least on a more casual level you could JC into a implantless clone, go on a lo/null sec adventure for the afternoon and not have to worry about losing 75+ mil ISK and potential SP loss. It may just be the determining factor for alot of unsure players who wanted to get their feet wet but were afraid to.

Even most serious PVPers have alts to help augment their income to pay for their fun and also allow them access to hisec. Would it not also be beneficial to them to have one less thing to worry about? Let them concentrate on what they do best, killing.


Just wondering other opinions on this.

Is this the norm for PVPers? Use a cheap low SP alt.

Are they any PVPers who use their 100 mil + SP main to do the killing? Or when you get to that point you have others do the killing for you.

I PVP with 100M SP characters pretty frequently....
