The dueling system is just CCP fixing something they broke when they introduced the new Crimewatch.

In the nine years before Crimewatch 2.0, players had been using jetcans to set up duels and had even been setting up FFA arena fights.

The Way to the Total Depravation, as you put it, has always been open. Take that tinfoil off your head, it's unsightly and makes you look like someone's basted chicken dinner.

No, not really so.

I'll try to explain this to you only once, since you tend to troll and insult so is probably a waste of time anyway:

Crimwatch 2.0. didnt change the canflip mechanics at all. These mechanics are still there untouched and can be used exactrly in the same way. Crimewatch 2.0 only made (as side effct) canflipping more risky since you are flagged for everyone instead for a copropration only.

Duelling system is not a replacement/fix of this but add something new to this game:
Concord granted "honorable" consensual "pvp" for high-seccer.
One can like or dislike this (I dislike) but here thepoint is that is something new and not just a "fix" for the canflipping duels.

Canflipping generated figth:
Fight chance generated by an illegal action in a typical action->consequences logic and involving someone flagged as criminal.

Duelling:
Consensual PvP generated by nothing, without any triggering event, no consequences, no flags, safe, just for fun, legally granted by Concord and pretending "honorable 1vs1 PvP".


And, for your infomation:



Is not true. The flag for stealing from cans was introduced only few years ago, i think was Trinity. before oone coild steal from cans and steal back with no PvP triggers or penalities.

And people wanted to freely fight, arranging duels, tournaments, whatever without concord problems always moved to low or null. As they still do and will always do.

If your looking for a fair fight your playing the wrong game.

Where do i say I am looking for a fair fight?

I do not duel because i am afraid that he has an unfair advantage.
Otherwise, why would he be asking me to duel.

I think that a lot of people would enjoy guaranteed fair fights.

Who forces anyone to duel? What the hell is an unfair advantage?

Personally, I would like to see just how good I really am. I am pretty good at killing cripples and the under privileged but just how good would I be if my opponent was not ambushed and outgunned.

An unfair advantage is where one has outside help (remote repair). An unfair advantage would be exploiting ones ignorance of the game. An unfair advantage is where a person is out numbered. The skills that i have to put T2 modules and T2 guns in a rifter would give me an unfair advantage over someone with low fitting skills.

Just the 1 1/2 years of experience i have gives me an unfair advantage over a new player fresh out of the tutorials. The training that Chuck Norris has done gives him quite an unfair advantage over me.

Do you need more examples of what an unfair advantage is?

What the hell is an unfair advantage?

There is nothing in eve meant to be fair. It is an unfair game, it has been from the start and hopefully will continue to be that way forever.
Fairness come from games like hello kitty online and my little ponies online where you probably get an achievement for typing in your name correctly.

Lions will always need sheep to prey upon, if you give sheep lush green fields, the sheep will grow on numbers and when there are too many sheep the lions will come in. This is not what would be considered fair by the sheep but for over all it is balanced.

But I know now you will reply that this is impossible cause as we all know is impossible to move in low without automaatically explode to some gatecamp.

It is already easy enough for players in high sec, no need to make it easier. And a Shepard would never try to de claw and pull the teeth of a lion they shoot them, kinda like high sec.

I lost a frig and 200m in implants to what should have been an easy Cormorant kill, but turned out to be an OG-boosted ship with insta-lock.

That does not seem like a good balance and that is what i am saying. That is what the future holds unless CCP can be shown another way.

I came up with one that i think would have positive results. It is better than the results you are prophesying.

Do you have any ideas that could sway CCP to change the direction that they seem to be heading?

The balance is there because you have the same options. As I am sure you already know it will take the same amount of skill points for all players to train gunnery 5, if you don't chose to that is fine, but don't cry about balance afterward.
You have the same options as you opponent in a duel, you can bring RR support, and OGB support, hell after you accept the duel you can dock up real quick and switch ships completely, and your opponent can do the same. That is balance in a sandbox.

Where does that leave you?

But is that new player friendly? Is that in the best interest of CCP?
I do believe they are wanting to increase their income.
