Like the topic says this situation is soon to come about in EVE csuse of the recent nerfs to piracy which have resulted in a number of corps and well known pirates either changign their ways or becoming mostly inactive.
Although it is ofc possible that new players will rise to replace them given the extreme hardship now faced by a career pirate it seems unlikely many will succeed.
So the question for all the pirate hunters and pvp lovers out there is - if there is no easy pirate targets at -10 who can be hunted and killed without consequence will u still play eve?

EDIT: well...pirates don't -have- to be -10.
BUt if there were no piracy period, then my account would be gone in a few minutes....
But after I try pirating myself, if there were none left :)

The corps that died from the changes are the corps that refused to adapt.

This topic has been posted a billion times, but turning EVE into a PVE game would take away almost ALL the exhiliration of the game.

I continue to play even though grammatical abortions such as this are presented for public consumption. A pirate pales in comparison.
I'd prefer (if you must post) that you at least go back to amusing the entire EVE community by talking about how incredibly awesome you are in your own little world. That thread was truly hilarious.

post is short on details isn't it
what has killed piracy?
seems to be thriving to me
and most of the recent changes i have experienced since last february have favored pirates
but to answer your question - oh yeah, and more happily
one more thing
piracy does not equal pvp

And how exactly do you adapt to potentially getting killed by everybody you kill?
Oh yes, use an alt to do all your industry work. How stupid of me.

Should I consider this as meaning you're thinking of quitting?
If so, can I have your stuff?

Did you typo that? Should it have been "see" instead of "kill"? Because it sounds like "I should be able to kill everybody but they shouldn't be able to kill me." Either way it seems you're angry about having to deal with a fair fight. :)

The pirate changes dont bother me, i still kill plenty of people.
As for quiting, if pirates disapeared i'd quit. If random gankers sitting 200k off of a gate killing 4 week old noobs in badgers. I wouldn't quit, i'd rejoice.

There will still be PVP even with less career pirates. Opportunists and sheer psychos will continue to haunt the space lanes, harassing the unsuspecting and the less prepared.
But I would very much miss the potential threat of well-organized and experienced bad guys.

'Recent' nerfs to piracy?
There hasnt been a major nerf to pirates in months. The profession has already been basically exterminated. Hasnt been a need to squeeze more blood from this stone.

Pirates have no effect on anything I do in EVE so I wouldn't know if they were there or not.

Ok, I don't pvp, and I don't pirate hunt. But I can honestly say eve wouldn't be half as interesting if there were no pirates. It just gived the extra thrill of going through low-sec, dodging gatecamps, watching wars ... Without pirates eve would be a pretty dull place.

I had a big rant in here, but decided I could better sum it up with "I was refering to eye-for-an-eye, I like fair fights."

It lasts a month, which is so long it's practically forever. I can't remember what I did last month, anyway, but that's opium for you...
And carebears fighting back is fine, it's that piracy is a profession - only griefers do it (solely) for fun, and this change only makes sense if you assume all pirates are griefers (And by griefers, I mean people who find it fun to pop defenceless and only defenceless ships).
Imagine PvErs who could, when least suspecting it, get ganked by that spawn they chained last night - while in the middle of empire, hauling. The same thing has happened to piracy. You can't make money from a profession that, on top of eventually restricting you from empire, also makes sure that you potentially lose a ship to every single profit you make.
Sure, it's a laugh-riot for the people who only pirate using alts, for whom consequence is just a big word. They can log into their mains and go haul in empire in peace. This is just another messed up addition that punishes legit pirates while barely bothering the real problem.

I dont care about people killing me, outlawed anyways
be nice if they
a) removed local
or
b)let us use interdiction spheres in low sec
or
c) cut the aggression timer to 5 mins, so you dont have 15mins before kills in your inty
be so great to be able to ransom at gates and stations, i dont want crappy loot what matters to the carebears and the pirates is the ship ^^
Edit: maybe delay local in low sec, say 5 mins so you got to get in and get a kill within 5 mins
I was reading over EON today and im dissapointed...theres never anything for pirates. All this factional warfare etc is rubbish :/ Give us piracy tool dammit

Pirates are such a small percentage of EVE.
As the corps grow in size, and expand, they contest with other corps which creates pvp.
Thats where the combat will occur, in distant 0.0 reachs of space as people fight it out for control.
Not tanking gate sentries with 8 stabs, ganking newbes..

Yeah, the problem is that CCP started listening to the wrong 'bears, but don't realise that these 'bears will always whine. To some players, the fact that another player can impose themselves aggressively on them is appaling. The fact that they're playing a MMORPG doesn't matter to these guys, they're faaar too stupid to realise the basic premise of a MMO. They want their own little world that they have perfect control over. A little wonderland of sunshine and happiness where the only interaction between players is hugs and kisses - thus the term carebear.
Nerfing piracy won't satisfy these people until piracy is banned completely. Piracy hasn't gotten a single boost in... um, ever? That can't be right, but I'm trying to think of one, and nothing comes to mind... :/

Not a pirate and never will play one, but I think the nerfs piracy has recieved are idiotic.

So u would be happy if 0.4 to 0.1 space was totally safe because lets be clear that is the space that pirates operate in not 0.0.If there r no pirates there would be no combat of any kind in 0.1 to 0.4 because alliance and opportunistic pvpers will not take the security hits for it as well as the new eye for an eye consequences of unlawful combat.

To answer your question, I would quit if there were no pirates in EVE. Why? Because a game where this type of behaviour can't exist is a stupid game.

Yes, I'd continue to play if there were no pirates. Although I do look forward to hunting pirates at some point, if they all leave the game I won't really be dissapointed.
It looks like what you are complaining about is the possibility of retaliation when you are not prepared for it. I guess you missed the irony?
So, you attacking other people when they are not prepared for it is fun, but when the roles are reversed, all of a sudden the game isn't fair anymore and you want to quit?

Ginger, griefers had things all their own way for a very long time.
That is over now.
Adapt or give me all your stuff before you quit.
