no i'm fine with the alt system, the horse has bolted on that one and eve is not really immersive anyway. i just feel that restrictions on criminals are too weak. it is my opinion that below a certain sec status threshold they should be locked out of high sec completely.
this won't stop ganking but it would make gankers consider before podding if they had to fork out 60M for clone soldier tags so they can get access.
i don't think this is unreasonable but i imagine it would be unpopular.
Idk about that. I listed off all the restrictions on criminals, and your only response was "They're alts, who cares?". The restrictions do exist. In fact, they have been added on over and over again over nearly a decade of nerfs against ganking. The people who gank, as a result, have it down to a science, both in the actual act and in mitigating the consequences thereof. The solution is not to keep adding more consequences. The solution is to stop feeling sad for bad players who don't fit tank, and to stop listening to them. Noobs are going to die regardless. That's what they do.
I wasn't ignoring your points i would have thought it obvious that running missions or mining on your -10 gank alt is for the clinically insane when you have a main to do it.
if people think nothing of podding you then it's too easy. end of. should eve be easy? forums say no. or forum is confused? freelance space bum |

Yes, but the consequences are not irrelevant just because people take steps to mitigate them.
And people, myself included, think nothing of podding because the difference between neg 5 and neg ten is basically nonexistent. So is the difference between 0.0 and however high that goes (never got there).
The problem there lies in the sec status system. I can't go any lower than neg ten, so why shouldn't I pod someone who is too ******** to warp out? No one should lose a pod in highsec, smartbomb ambush notwithstanding. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

I have no idea who "Mitten" is .. and as has been stated, you should be very careful about tagging anyone to any other name other that the one you can clearly see. I have made no attempt at hiding my in-game identity.. or even that of my main character for that matter.
Zsaryna Adrelan wrote: "Then do something productive about it, as opposed to whining on the forums"
I have openly expressed my opinion in GD .. ON TOPIC of "minerbumping" which was originally posted by "Danial Boone" in an effort to let him and others like minded know that I also find it unacceptable to be subjected to extortion by the "Order" and that I do intend to "Bump Back" (you really aught to learn to read you know) .
So where is the Whining here? Isn't my post in the very least testament to trying to do something productive? Zsaryna your opinion which (however clouded I may believe it to be) is I'm sure a valid opinion for yourself and one that I would engage in contesting but would not attempt to belittle, but you are more inclined not to engage but rather miss-quote, dismiss, disregard and on top of it all choose to be rude in reply. I wonder why this is...
"Code enforcement is an enjoyable experience" Sound familar?
I guess hitting a nerve too close to home causes you to be provoked into an auto-response? Anyway.. I would very much like to hear from capsuleers who have any ideas on how to counter/combat the Order and it's operations. If unable to reply in thread would be happy to hear in Eve-mail.
On a PRODUCTIVE note, if you want to respond, please try to do so in a manner that warrants a reply .. tks  |

don't make me eve who you and find some examples of this not being true.
no you are right but lets face it, **** happens. you weren't paying attention/were panicked/drunk and now face being lectured by forum on your sinfully non autistic game skills.
fair enough.
but really if you did that 3 times from 0.0 starting point and found yourself locked out of highsec until you pay up the CONCORD bribe then you would think twice. freelance space bum |

That won't ever happen, honestly. It breaks the sandbox to outright bar people from traveling. Particularly because sometimes you flat out HAVE to go through highsec.
But the problem lies with you shifting the burden of self protection away from individual players. You have an assumption of due diligence to protect yourself. That includes warping out your pod, not getting scammed, and not flying with too much in your cargohold.
Violate that, and you, only you, are responsible for what happens.
Nothing you can say changes the fact that almost every pod lost in highsec is 100% the fault of person who lost it. If they lost a set of Slaves, or Crystals, or whatever, sucks to be them. Maybe they'll learn the lesson right for next time.
Due diligence. Have it. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

therefore you visit your local friendly corrupt CONCORD office in lowsec, where you can also obtain the tags you need to fix your status. see how they thought this out?
not that your main is affected anyway.
furthermore, docking restrictions for sov space already exist in the game as you probably know. it's not mechanics breaking or even against the ethos of eve as far as i can see. what it is is politically untenable as suicide ganking is very popular and the forums would have a spasm if CCP 'nerfed' it. freelance space bum |

Docking restrictions, yes. Because that's how sov works. Not restrictions on even entering a system.

a bit more like how you can't take your cap into highsec or your supercap though any gate then?
it's not like there aren't restrictions already is my point. you can't say it would fundamentally break the mechanics of eve without knowledge of the code base whcih they apparently managed to significantly untangle for crime watch. freelance space bum |

I didn't say it would break the mechanics, or that they didn't already exist. I said it would break the sandbox and CCP would never do it. It's a totally unnecessary change, considering the only "problem" is that people refuse to tank their mining barges or watch local during a wardec.

what do mean by 'break the sandbox'?
you could still do everything you could do before, with added consequences which you deal with as a player, making your own choices.
Do I want to gank 50 mackinaws or 3 pods before CONCORD locks the door?
Why does CONCORD allow serial killers to roam about its juristiction without silvering their plams?
you said youerself you might as well pod becxause it don;'t get worse than -10. murder is a bonus punch in highsec.

Did you really just imply that capitals can take gates outside of high sec?
This does fundamentally break the mechanics of eve, though it has absolutely nothing to do with code.
To (not verbatim) quote CCP:
"No section of the game should ever be made completely inaccessible through a players' actions"
Your idea is bad, because you don't have enough fundamental understanding of how the game works.
The ability to keep criminals out of high security space is in the hands of the players, intentionally.
Don't want criminals hanging out or travelling through your system? Form up to shoot them. What a novel idea, a system in the hands of the players, through the work of the players. What you want is a system created by the devs to hold the hands of select few players. Which is why it will never happen.

Except fly a ship into highsec.
You're taking choices away, not creating more of them. Don't try to disguise it.
Quote:Why does CONCORD allow serial killers to roam about its juristiction without silvering their plams?
Because they are not, for lack of a better word, cops. They were created to avoid a capsuleer civil war spilling into the 4 Empires. That's why you pay them to have an all out war with one another.
Us killing each other is not a crime according the 4 Empires. If we break their laws, their navies come after us. We also, are not serial killers. We exist apart from the citizens of the Empires(which is why, as a Minmatar, I can join the Amarr militia). We are the next best things to gods. They cannot tell us what we can and cannot do, only destroy us if they don't like it.
But, if you want to inject realism into it, then their response time needs to be lowered considerably. If they are supposed to be cops (which, btw, police are not preventative, they are punitive), then first they need to start showing up in about 20 minutes or so.
I'd ask you regardless to not pretend like this is real, or that any metric of real life crime and politics can be injected into it, because it simply cannot. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

CONCORD is a system designed by the developers to provide perfect retribution for criminal acts of aggression in high security space. They do their job thanklessly, every time, without fail. They do not deserve your disdain.
I have a question for you. If you are so concerned about 'serial killers' roaming about then why don't you do something about it?

well i get the impression that high sec PvP is for nubs and i don't think i'm wrong.

How in the world did I miss this thread?
Now that I'm here, though, I find that I have nothing productive to add. Then again, I've never let that stop me in the past, so here goes...
The miner bumping thing is a fad. It annoys people and is good for tear threads. For plenty of the player base, that reason is all the incentive they need to do it.
But like ghost training, nano HACs and many other things that started out as fads that a few did to little effect but morphed into major headaches for CCP, it will get out of hand in time. And when it becomes enough of a headache CCP will curb it with mechanics changes.
Then we'll see a few weeks of bumper tear threadnaughts and the whole thing will be forgotten.
So it has always been and so it will always be.

AFK = A Free Kill.
And I would disagree. I see highsec PvP as a perfectly legitimate and natural response to the risk aversion of a subset of players. Predators go where the prey are.
But the illusion of safety is the real problem here. All these hurts feelings stem from the false assumption that you are, or deserve to be, safe in highsec. You don't. People can gank you, and the intent is that people can wardec you too, although that option lacks teeth at present. But the intent is certainly not that highsec is or should be safe.

Alright. After reading your post and some of the ones that followed, it seems to me that you are indeed upset over losing a little over 700m/isk worth of ingame stuff. Most players would have looked at that loss and moved on, because ultimately the blame rests on the gankee (the person who got ganked, in this case that would be you). This brings in an interesting question, or revelation depending on how you ask. As you may be finding this out, a -10 criminal cannot stop in highsec for very long before the Faction Police arrive on grid and begin to attack. Which means that you were either AFK at the gate, or on auto pilot "slow boating" to said gate. Hell you could have been AFK at a safe spot for all I know, but the reason why this is your fault is because you gave a -10 player enough time to react; which if you weren't AFK wouldn't have happened. You would have continued on your way never knowing anyone by the name D400.
So you'll say that you're new, or too new to have known. Granted, however, regardless of where the fault lies, why carry 700m/isk+ worth of stuff in a video game you probably heard of as being "anything goes" to then go AFK, to then complain about the consequences of your actions?
Le Judge wrote:When put on the spot the Orders members are fast to declare that "it's only pixels and to just get over it" or "if you don't like it, leave" Really? Where is your documentation to prove this allegation?
Le Judge wrote:I'd received no "bump" to see if I was a BOT, no nice polite message declaring to hand over the 10Mil and/or shown a link to explain WHY. You were AFK which is KOS.
Le Judge wrote:So, how does "Eve" and it's gaming community benefit from this? Does it become a better place? How does the wisdom and this sanctioned activity by the Order hold up to being any way justifiable? .. Quite simply, It doesn't. Through content. Pirates help make Eve what it is, a game where anything can happen. It's justified here. It does, but as a new player you don't see it yet.
Le Judge wrote:CCP should hide it's head in utter shame for not recognizing and to act upon activity which so obviously DOES cause discomfort and IS causing it's PAYING MEMBERS a degree of unnecessary anxiety. This goes beyond being acceptable behavior in a game IMHO. As stated CCP has already publicly voiced their decision, please do some more research. There are "hordes" of highsec players who find entertainment within NO as well as the general community. If you are receiving anxiety over a video game, then all of a sudden your arguments about how you're not mad and this is only a game are now null. We pay too bro, you're not the only paying customer here and neither is highsec. Abandon all hope ye who x up in fleet |

A bit extreme of an example I know, but you get my point, no difference! Ever been scammed on-line on Ebay perhaps or fallen foul to some other scam? It's not nice to be conned in any shape or form, and intimidating activity being "in-game" is no cloak to hide behind. Shouldn't we stand up to the ones responsible or is the truth that we just look out for ourselves now and laugh at the victims for not being more aware? Ladies and Gents have we become so morally bankrupt to permit what we abhor in our RL's to now filter in and become the norm and accepted behavior even in the very place we try to escape to, to forget the world outside for a while? Not only is it being unchallenged but the protagonists have the balls to publicly recruit and justify their actions being in accordance with a "Code"!
Seems to me you are confusing RL crime with video game space crime that is in full compliance with the EULA/ToS. In no way should you even consider to compare real world loss of life with 700m/isk+ worth of ingame stuff; there is a great wall of China of difference. To be honest after reading your posts I don't think you have what it takes for this video game. I recommend World of Warcraft, or something less extreme. Abandon all hope ye who x up in fleet |
