Why people seem to forget about this and cry for mechanic changes is beyond me.
Yes people can do this and some will but if you can't sd in shields you can't mitigate your losses somewhat. You only can spite your enemy and if you have to lose everything i think more people would choose to lose everything goin down swinging. |

Yes, and as soon as this becomes the ultimate tactic, being denied SD, then you guys will start crying about how the corp members for that pos shouldn't even have rights to anything inside the FF once the pos goes reo just so you can get your fat fingers on it. HTFU!...for the children! |

This has been a rather interesting discussion, and I think some solid points have been made that would help drive conflict in our community. However, I don't agree that a ton of changes have to take place to create conflict drivers. I feel they are there and people can use them, but sometimes ignore or refuse to capitalize on them.
Roaming/Gudfights: The fact is that some organizations can field more than others. Sometimes you will be outnumbered, but as we have seen consistently time and time again is people commit as an underdog and win. I can't even count the times I've seen a Verge BR where they were greatly outnumbered and won. Verge aren't the only ones, but the fact is that we play in a community where skill can have a great impact and numbers can be limited. I'm not suggesting that the underdog can always win, but many fights have not happened because the numbers were intimidating and one side declined a fight. I guess the point is here that people use the numbers and blobs excuse not to fight, even though there is evidence that many "sure wins" aren't always sure wins and commiting should have happened.
Evictions: I've led two evictions in w-space and both times, I had a blast. The first was an accident when we stumbled into F2B's C4 back when and they had an offline tower that led to us evicting them with their own ships. The tears were fun, them SD'ing their ships was fun, our comms were hilarious, and we had a good time. The second time was to evict our first alliance, Tragedy. It was personal and we did it. It was fun because it was something we had wanted to do for some time. Both of those seemed like solid conflict drivers for us. The driver was to have a good time.
Mechanics Changes: I'm sure that removing the ability to SD ships in a POS and SMA's booting ships would create a conflict driver to support evictions. No argument from me and I think this would probably not hurt anything.
Overall, wormholers get a ton of fights/ganks/kills, but sometimes we get a tad spoiled and elitist. If you are moving down the pipe and find a fight/gank/kill in a wormhole, you can take it. If you don't, but you find a good low/null, you can take it. If you hate the chain, you can roll it. Sometimes, people will **** each other off and it may lead to conflict. You can evict them, harrass them, or whatever else to instigate conflict. We have the ability to create our own content if we want. CCP and the CSM doesn't have to push or change mechanics to allow for this. I mean... didn't a a little smacktalking in local essentially start one of the largest engagements in the wormhole community? ~Boredom Breeds Direction~ |

The problem here is that some people consider POS bashing a suitable form of PvP.
Bashing consists of people bringing as much stuff as they can and trying to destroy as much stuff as possible in the way of demoralizing and breaking the enemy. To me, the desire to "win" simply means you have a desire to crush the enemy. That's sov warfare, with grudges and metagaming and whatever else. And the fact is that there's a large portion of w-space that is in w-space so we don't have to deal with that.
So, frankly, I don't think you will ever get a huge number of people to agree with you, at least I hope. I think you're looking for something out of WH space that should never come to pass.

Well you've basically just said you don't want anything to do with all of WH space. Can you name a single well-known entity who has faced eviction and not batphoned? (The only one I can think of is Firebirds, yet for all I know they did in fact quietly reach out for assistance.) yup, that would be exactly my point. I could add CCRES to your list off the top of my head if we want to go real old school but it's hardly relevant.
to be fair, the onus is first on the attackers. if you want to attack someone, do it yourself, dont bring 5 alliances with you to evict a 50man corp.
as for not wanting anything to do with all of WH space, that's a bit extreme but ive made my views on batphone vs. batphone blob fights fairly well known and do want absolutely nothing to do with them. you might also note ive recently moved out of high end WH space.
the people siding with to OP here seem to want ISK rewards for PVPing in WHs. WHY? running a site or 2 a week is going to take you half an hour at most and will more than cover your PVP. hell, take a couple hours a week and run 8 sites if you lose a lot of crap. it also doesnt make you a carebear...
there is no reason at all for PVP to be profitable in high end WHs where isk is never a factor. (it also often IS profitable, given the level of bling ships in WHs tend to have.) |

How would this support evictions? There is already a mechanic that far outstrips SD'ing in terms of effectiveness in place which I mentioned. And with the latter the person seiging will never know what could have been destroyed.
At least with SD'ing in force fields the guy doing the attacking gets to see what he "took" from the besieged. |

lol - more angsty "where did it all go wrong?" "CCP fix w-space" type posts from the people ruining WH space with their non invasion pacts, coalitions, blues, "protocols", diplo bullsh*t, blobbing, dogpiling, and nonsensical evict anyone who doesn't play by our rules crap.
Anyone else find it ironic that it seems to be the guys doing the most blobbing, preventing fights and evictions that seem to be the most active in these sorts of threads? |

All I see here are people who want to change long standing game wide mechanics as an excuse to circumvent what every player in eve has to deal with in the guise of improvements to wh space.
There are already ways to circumvent SD in FF's. It's called ransoms, negotiations, spies, meta gaming and any other number of methods. And it's done to great effect but apparently just not by the folks who want to hulk smash everything. Imagine that.... HTFU!...for the children! |

You guys say you don't care about killboards but then what's the difference between them SDing inside a FF as opposed to them warping out ships 1 by 1 to your waiting blob?
I pvp in wormholes because I want to deprive others of their hard earned isk. I don't care if I kill their ship/pod or force them to self destruct because I close the hole behind them. Why do you? |

You know what the biggest problem is with PVP in wspace.
EVERYBODY thinks they are the shite in their armor ships.
Very few people will just duke it out in shield ships. Heck, just the other day we were just dicking around in like 5 shield ships(being the only 5 people online) on a hole and suddenly Why So serious had to warp a 20 man armour fleet to their hole.
Then we were on a nullsec roam in a Osprey/Scythe fleet and the SUPER CAREBEARS in our static decided to cycle us out. They proceeded to cycle like complete chickenshites so they can carebear. Meanwhile warping in their cowardly armour fleet to chest beat.
Even people in VoC resort to armor ships because when you are about agaisnt a blob of overpowered tech 3s, your only choice is to do the same.
It's just lame, all you do is sit at zero and one side ends up losing their 40billion in pimped ships. The end, no need for strategy. Just keep warping in more ships at zero.
PVP in wspace is dead because all of you are the most risk averse, chest beating scrubs I have ever seen in this game. TEST has more skilled and true PVP pilots in Rifters than every single alliance combined in wspace. |

Currently, other than the reason of good fights, there isn't much motive to actually engage in pvp in WH space. If you run into a active gang or WH and they don't want to PVP, they just wait it out for a day till the connection drops, no biggie. In null if you don't fight you lose your territory +income. Eviction also recently got a shadow nerf with the SMA "working as inteded" bug. And even without that bug, eviction were really not worth the cost because the other corp would just self destruct their assets.
The only major pvp we find in wh space, is either personal vendettas evictions, loggofski traps, and fights that are actually orchestrated by both sides, which really sux as pvp in eve should be non consensual (most of the times at least). I really cringe when I see **** like yea let's fight but no more than 15 ppl and no capitals.
I really don't have that many ideas to fix this problem (if it is a problem anyways). One of them might be just making the self destruct not work inside pos shields might be a good start. That way at least evictions can be somewhat profitable, and maybe that way people have more incentive to actually pvp.
It just seems you have to fish really hard to find serious pvp in wh's these days (killing ventures and drakes don't count).
So please if you disagree with anything, or like to add something go ahead, refraining from you are noob comments and dome fights are cool.

Large armor fights are the most lamest shite in the world. Did my post did not convey that feeling?
We often do not have enough people to even begin to counter some of the ridiculous armor fleets being formed up agaisnt. A majority of the time most of us are all dicking around having fun in different parts of nullsec. But suddenly its our fault for not wanting to PVP agaisnt some ridiculous no skilled blob?
A blob we have to waste a hour of our time forming up and strategizing? Some people are just sick of the BS. Roaming and pewing is so much more fun than stroking ones **** on a wormhole.
And my post attacks everyone. VoC and everyone alike. I couldn't careless. I am impartial when I call everyone a risk averse scrub lord. |

CCP could rework PI for wormholes; make it more profitable, smaller, but also force players to dump to the Poco every day. Then make it so when you reinforce a POCO it drops its accumulated loot, this would give smaller gangs something to do if enemies pos up; give players incentive to be in space in haulers and what not, which would also help attract roaming gangs.
This would lure people in to WH space by making non cap escalatable systems more valuable, and also give pvpers something to do. |

Some of the best fun I've had didn't result in a single killmail (or very few/poor ones). Like the guy who jet canned everything at a different moon than his onlining POS for 'safekeeping'. Needless to say we took everything.
Also.. if you need a conflcit driver or a 'reason' to PvP, you could always give payouts on ammount of loot you get.. or use it for Ship Replacement Fund.. etc. etc. Make your own driver. -Bl+¦d

No sir, you are wrong. Wormhole space needs more people who get to a place, declare it the top, and occupy it against all comers. Kidd seems to have managed to do this. Some others likely have as well. Just because the number on your WH says its more dangerous than another doesn't mean that it is... as indicated by your post.
Some points: If you aren't having fun in that shiny C6, move. "But if everyone moves out of C6, it doesn't help, its a CCP problem." If everyone moves out of the C6s today and they're suddenly only being used by daytrippers, you'd BEST BELIEVE they'd be full of fights. THIS MAKES IT OUR PROBLEM, NOT CCPs.
Besides: knowing CCP "fixing" C5-6 WHs might well be by way of a ban on new towers in them. Do you really want that kind of "expansion?" |
