i like when local spikes, and i see 3 WT loki boosting alts enter system.

in other news: i like turtles.

I just overheat everything when pew pewing so I can pretend I have Loki links.

I admit this is a big big issue for me, and honestly the reason I won't be resubbing next month. I don't mind somebody spending money on PLEX to get a ISK advantage, at least that's tangible and right there on the line to be destroyed in a PvP fight.

But to have some invisible character boosting somebody is just ridiculous to me. I know Eve isn't the most hardcore skill full game out there, but I'd like to think with practice and a well planned attack I can overcome 1v1 or more. Nope, not with a booster on their side and not mine.

And to the people saying "Oh they will just move them on-grid but out of the fight anyways". I say that's fine, at least I see it, at least they took a little effort to move it there in a safe place, at least it's somewhat in danger. That's a world of difference to me.

I know off-grid boosting makes them money, but I hope CCP makes the right move and protects the integrity of the game over making a bit of extra income. I think over the course of time it will hamper the growth of the game too as some people have pointed out already.

Its hard to know how many accounts they are losing due to the utter stupidity of ogbs.

As more and more people realize how important paying for 2 accounts becomes (so you can sit one in a safe spot while you pvp with the other account) I think eve will become much harder to sell. Would you have installed eve if someone told you that?


This sort of reputation takes time to build. But once a game has a black mark like that, it's hard to shake. I think the best and brightest at ccp realize this, and will end ogbs before the game completely goes to ****.

Yeah. that would be enough. Just make them probable and perhaps non-functional inside a pos shield. A sig radius amplifier when links are turned on is good enough to create the possibility of harassing them and therefore the need to protect them. That's the same function that forcing them onto the grid would serve.

And frankly, I don't really understand all the noise..... Where I live they have a saying, "the ball is round", referring to soccer. No matter how the ball bounces, everyone plays with the same ball (and on the same field) .....

"Difficult to code" doesn't mean they can't do some ad hoc measures. Make the modules not activate inside of POS shields. Cut the Strategic Cruiser bonuses from 5% to 2%. Done.

b) Change POS shield mechanics to not allow any module to be activated inside the shield

i keep reading this alot and its total BS most pilots fleet or solo use there boosters from deep safes in space when roaming. They dont have a pos in every system of the game just for boosts the cost of that would be ridiculous

OGBs arnt invincible and not p2win either because you are not gaurenteed to win
