Maya's arguments are logical unlike Avon's or DC.
DC and Avon, yes this is a multiplayer game but that does not mean to kill the solo play situations. Stop argueing that you need a group to do basic things... like travel just because this is a MMOG. This is pathetic. Following this logic to the extreme, CCP should replace NPC spawns with player spawns cuz hey, we cant have a solo situation in a multiplayer game !
A group is far more effective then solo at doing any "jobs" in Eve = MMOG essence.
Traveling is a HUGE part of this game. Its a BASIC game mechanic that everybody uses from day 1 and trying to say: lets make traveling ten times harder/longer/less fun just so you can pop an indy is either insane or arrogant.
There are no pertinent arguments in favor of removing insta completly and without an "on top of the gate" warp option. If they were CCP would have "implemented" them already.
I also dont understand what is with this "invulnerability" while travelling using instas **** ?? What are warp bubles for ? Oh, so now you want to take a traveler solo without using a group with a warp buble heh ?
Also, the new interdictor destroyers might have the possibility to act like a selective warp buble (same as POS guns are working: set to whom to fire/scramble, etc) so they can be used in empire wars. ==> no invulnerability if you use the correct setup.
A 2km warp in option might have some unknown negative effects either. Maybe trade will become way to easy and hassle free. Autopilot traveling with warp on top of the gate it's something like skill queing. AFK travelers will have way to much chances of escaping even if travelling in 0.0 (in a fast t2 indie with some WCS's on). Maybe a counter solution to that is: when you use AP, you will warp in at 15km and not near the gate. That option can only be used manually.
As a conclusion, DC's post is crap and comes from a guy that, as maya said, wants a game suited to his needs ONLY without thinking of the consequences for others.
A 2km warp option seems a logical solution to eliminate instas and the lag they generate. However, some side effects can occure, side effects that can only damage the game.
