It does undermine the rewards of traders/haulers in high sec. Now suicide ganking will be so rare that the complete idiots will be able to do just as well at it as people who used to consider the possibility of a suicide gank. Its not like it took allot of thought to tank a transport ship but now even that tiny bit of thought is no longer required. Now all the markets will be even more homogenous and it will be even harder to find a decent way to make money hauling stuff. So the only people who get a buff here are the dumb who don't know any better than always putting cargo expanders on and never think to put any tank on their ship or make a couple of trips. Every time you give a buff to the dumb you make the game less interesting for those who like to some complexity and challenge. Dude, seriously: THIS CHANGE WILL NOT STOP OR IN ANY SIGNIFICANT WAY REDUCE SUICIDE GANKS. There really is no need for this drama. In your example above, this insurance change is a NON-ISSUE for suicide-ganks-for-profit. So you should still be able to haul stuff for decent isk.

Why you think Ive stuck with this thread so long? Its been great fun watching and listening and posting. Especially Tippia going after everyone.
Serious gankers change ship class, its easier and faster to train for them as well, added perks to the BC hull size, no real downside. Nothing changes for those flying cruiser class or for destroyers. |

Yes it's a good idea as insurance companies do not give money for criminal acts. Will it change anything? No Destoyers are cheap enougth to explode without it braking the bank and if a large alliance is going to pay bounties on ganks they will still happen. It changes nothing but does make people happy as CCP is seen to do somthing. Hell suicide ganks are part of the game which i and other 'carebears' need to deal with, thats a fact of eve life.

Ultima Online started out with a "all PvP flagged all the time" except in town design.
They lasted less than 2 years before they saw some serious playerbase erosion start due to the excessive amount of ganking and harrassment.
The only reason Ultima Online SURVIVED is they came up with the "no forced PvP" Tramell shards - and then watched over 80% of their EXISTING playerbase migrate to those shards in the first 6 months they existed, despite having to petition to get manually transfered to them at the time (IIRC UO implimented a "move yourself" mechanic eventually with some serious limitations on it).
Eve online was a MICROSCOPIC in userbase MMORG before highsec. Due to the fact Highsec STILL allows non-consentual PvP ganking and harrassment, Eve STILL has a problem with new player retention.
Hint to all of you "force PvP down everyone's throats" fans. The LARGE majority of MMORG players have ZERO interest in that sort of thing. Just because YOU like it does not mean it's good for the game or the SURVIVAL of the game. Even MMORGS that are almost TOTALLY PvP-centric like Lineage have "no PvP" areas.
IMO one of the few things WoW does WELL is it's "PvP flagged" system. Lets those that are WILLING to risk PvP do so while not FORCING it on those that don't like PvP, have NO INTEREST in PvP, and hate having PvP forced on them. SOme of us want to play vs. the GAME, not get harrassed all the time by PvP-centric types.
IMO suicide ganking has a place in the game - but it's WAY too easy even AFTER the changes that have been made in the mechanics over the years - and along with related "harrass folks" and "screw newbies" methods like can flipping it's one of the things that keeps Eve SMALL enough to fit on one server.
Don't get me started on why LowSec is a wasteland with almost ZERO playerbase that bothers with it. Risk vs. reward for lowsec is so far out of whack I'm often supprised ANYONE bothers with lowsec at all.

I see that Goon and Company are moaning and crying once again about changes but then again anything that CCP does you guys just complain.
Heaven forbid someone says it but i will. in Real Life you commit a crime and get your nice shiny car wrecked in a police chase and arrested.....well good for you will become a prison **** while your insurance provider denies you your claim for illegal activity. OWNED!
Hell you should be happy you are able to still get your ship insured with your security rating. I be happy to deny those with neg ratings. Now that's an idea for CCP. Deial of Insurance due to security Rating. Insurance company would see you as a HIGH RISK will either higher rates or deny you.
But many of the changes everyone voted on. and the one with the most votes got put into affect. Don't like the out come so you whine like little 5 year old, Well then; LEAVE!
The game will improve on a scale CCP has not seen in years!
But seeing that the Goons are part of the CSM they will get some kind of kick back from someone

So, who's going to buy new ships and modules when they stop getting exploded?
Oh, I know! Maybe killboards will be replaced with ISKboards, which will keep track of the money and assets owned instead of the amount of ships destroyed.
Actually, that sounds pretty awesome. Anyone want to fleet up for an incursion? |

This isn't going to change the gank-game nearly as much as some people would like to think... And yes, hi-sec is *safer*, not "SAFE". It needs aggression, and combat.

The removal of empire wars and the addition of a pvp flag can't be far behind. That already happened with the policy change allowing dec shields and wardec shedding. Wardecs are 100% consensual these days. So yes, if this turns out not to be a bug, it is indeed heading further down the wrong roadGǪ Well, wars are still chugging along, but CCP is definitely treading the razor's edge. One more little nudge, and it will all come crashing down. Here, a little snippet from a mail I received very recently from one of our targets: A Recent War Target wrote:I would ask you to have your corp remove the dec as you will be wasting your money. I'd like you to look at this thread right here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=22792&p=4CCP stated no longer an exploit. So yeah. You can dec every 24 hours, and we jump into alliance and out every 24. Your call. Makes no matter to me. We are still recruiting noobs, and industrial types. I get it that your guy's idea of pvp is to station camp, and blow up noobs with 3 weeks in game and such but I am not feeding you kills to pad your battleclinic stat's. This isn't some learning experience and your not trying to help us. Balls in your court. Drop the dec and you only lose the money once and can likely find some easy target who doesn't know a damn thing about metagmaing or how game mechanics work presently. Or keep the decs rolling and we just keep losing them. Your isk, your choice. I can't help but wonder how this forest would fare if all the predators disappeared... ***********************

I agree with you. Tight rope walking without a net is what Eve is supposed to be.
CCP should also get rid of crutches like local chat and "stop light" bubbles in zero.
Pilots should have to use scanners to find each other like a real spaceship game should be.
While they are at it they should add cloaks for POS. We cloak ships. Why not POS? Then maybe small corps could move in on zero and operate for longer than it takes to light a cyno. |

That's how it worked before the patch. EVE's insurance should have been bankrupt for a long time already.
Hey CCP, why don't you make insurance player-based too? |

This is only because you assume that high-sec ganks account for the majority of ships being destroyed in Eve. I believe the impact would be negligible even if all ganks were to cease from one day to another, and they most likely won't.
All this complaining about the market impact is either simply overly pessimistic, or unfounded and used as a sorry excuse to argument against the fact that this change is happening. |
