ITT:
1. A discussion of the effects of outsourcing an old activity(time spent ginding) for an existing currency set(isk) subject to market forces, manipulation by people able and willing to put the time into farming it, and sandbox game play taken to a new economic level. Yay!
2. People who don't like the PLEX system.
Overall looks to be an innovative way to address the tedium of sec status grinding and allows less fewer NPC-oriented penalties for player to player interaction. Win all around. |

I think this is perfectly inside your theory about penalties and suffering. And many people would love to have it. Guess which option it would be every time?

This is ridiculous.
There is no information about quantities or spawnrates given, thus these talks are completely nonsense.
Besides that, it reads as if people believed prices wouldn't go through the roof if their horror-scenarios actually came true. In any way, if suddenly ALL THE GANKERS would buy tags for PLEX, prices would SKYROCKET making it unaffordable !
Even IF there are rich people who could buy PLEX to no ends, these people are definitely NOT the majority !
You people are just batshit crazy about things not even happening yet and probably never happening, because the market will prevent that ! |

Someone still has to farm the tags. You're only moving the burden somewhere else. If nobody farms the tags, there will be no tags. Just like you probably don't mine every mineral for your ship. You just buy it off the market. Does your reasoning mean that you pay to win when you buy a ship?
Buying a ship is not the same as avoiding a consequence of what I did to another player.

while I can understand reasons behind this feature, cannot sat I like it - unless entire process will be prohibitively expensive, (and somehow I doubt it) buying, it kinda cheapens entire concept of security status - what is point of sec status if I can just pay a bit of ISK and remove all consequence of 'bad actions'
however, if entire process is expensive (low drop rate of tags and order of magnitude of 100m ISK payout to concord per 1 point of sec rating restored), it might be decent ISK sink |

fact is that sec statuc atm does not stop ganking (is that good mechanic or not is discussion I will not go into), and it is unlikely that 'dedicated ganker' char will pay any amount of ISK to buy back sec status, however for 'normal low-sec players', sec status does have (at least some) impact as it does to visitors to low sec - when you see someone with -10 in local, saying 'pirate' is a good guess, while when you see someone with +5, it is quite likely he won't actively go after you. So sec status is at least somewhat part of character and playstyle - making it arbitrarily changable does take a bit of EVE from EVE (not much however, I really doubt seeing any significant impact from this, but still... )

Its like sending a kid to his room for timeout after he does something bad, but still allowing him to play video games. It defeats the purpose of a punishment if they enjoy it. Its the same here. People want to be able to gain isk in a manner they enjoy in order to circumvent the residual effects of their actions. There for rendering the consequences to almost nothing.
Then again the whole sec status system is pointless in the first place. Sec loss should only apply to aggressive actions taken in high sec, you know the area Concord actually patrols. Using sec loss as a risk factor for individuals in what is considered "safe space". Lowsec on the other hand shouldn't accrue sec less since it is not actively patrolled by concord. Let bounties in lowsec dictate who's a pirate or not, and let lowsec be the lawless empire it was meant to be.

And anyway why would you care as you will be able to buy tags too? Looks like whines from a 0.0 bear. |

Believe it or not, I don't enjoy forking over large sums of ISK. So... argument destroyed.
I think this stems from the carebear narrative that the "bad" things people like me do in this game are actual, literal, BAD things. I 'play' the "bad guy" and this is essential to EVE Online, but that doesn't stop carebears from labeling me an actual BAD GUY who must be stopped, it's inconceivably ridiculous. |

My, Solistice, you always seem to be so angry.
Surely, the range of player opinions is one of the things which makes Eve so interesting This is not a signature. |

I've never seen grinding sec status as any kind of punishment. Most of the gankers I know wear blinkyred with pride. The punishment is the outlaw status, there's no game mechanic that says "you ganked a pod, now you *MUST* go kill X red crosses".
At most, I figure most hardcore gankers are just going to use tags4Sec to screw with vultures. Sure, camp a station, lets see if you're paying attention when I tag up to -4.9....
If anything, you'd think gank targets would be cheering this change. It adds yet another ISK based consideration for weekend gankers, which will figure into profit calculations when choosing targets. Don't worry miners, I'm here to help!

Now when somebody starts Burn Jita or whatever they need to get rid of SS. With tags they will just use their ISK to buy tags and repair SS then repeat ganking. Actually, I find that encouraging. One of my main complaints - indeed, my only complaint - about "Burn Jita II" was that there wasn't enough chaos and random combat. If folks don't fear the SS grind so much, there may be more folks willing to drown their security status in a blazing bowl of fire. Which would be fun. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

You people are just batshit crazy about things not even happening yet and probably never happening, because the market will prevent that !
5 minute SS gain ticks without having to change systems will prevent anyone from spending anything on tags other than a few pennies here and there for fast sec when needed. They aren't batshit crazy they're just dumb. Under the new system it will probably be hard to keep a -10 status if you use the same character to rat. Even if they reduced the amount of sec gained per tick it's every 5 minutes so....what? a half hour of ratting in missions to go from -10 to -8ish? |

Ohh, we're not, this is cautious optimism. CCP seems to enjoy nerfing ganking, so here's hoping this is a change for the better.
Best case, decoupling CONCORD lets CCP make some missions or whatever PVE content for concord.
Even better, CONCORD says "screw it, we'll let the faction police their own borders, we got more important things to do". Don't worry miners, I'm here to help!
