You're delusional if giving a big alliance a monopoly over a custom's office is "WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE"

And PS: by the way, believe it or not, many computer players are SOLO or a few players at best. Not everyone including EVE players play in some big turd dropping GOON/CSM/CPP infested alliance.

Now see ---THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.

WHY THE HECK DOESN'T A CORP NEED STANDING TO ANCHOR A POCO LIKE A POS??!

That would fit with all the past lore in game and only make sense and REWARD players for grinding standing. REWARD industrialists for their hard work. Small indy corps would have purpose.

But we can't have that can we (null alliances)....err CCP.

Maybe I want to play in a sand box that I can do my own thing without goons dictating what I can and can't do and monopolizing key game play elements.

Influence - monopolize no.

And for others worried about GSF: Generally speaking, entire coallitions will not be able to partake in a "Highsec Poco" operations, since all member alliances won't declare war. This could create interesting "suspect timer" situations.

Also, competing for highsec resources is an Excellent addition to the game!!!

So whats stopping goonswarm or any other large null sec alliance taking over EVERY poco in high sec in no time?

Can anyone explain why we need to be at war with the owner of the POCO?

From a game mechanics point of view it makes it much harder for small corps to get involved in the whole POCO bashing thing. While big groups can fight over them until Goons own the majority, wouldn't it be more interesting to have everyone fighting over them?

I assume there is something I am missing to explain why the wardec is needed.

Who will remain to help those new to the game in High sec?
