You missed the part that he said that subbed grew when EVE was more hostile, many years ago. And as safeness was added (starting with the Concord buff if I remember right), sub rate decreased.

Pretty much, you missed his whole post.

Except that couldn't be done. Right now, ganking is allowed (and through the method of allowment ie mild penalties, encouraged as a gameplay option) and more than a simple exploit declaration would be needed.


In fact if they went this route, a lot of people would rage quit... and a few would probably burn down CCP headquarters (mild exaggeration, meant as a joke for those who cannot tell).

wtf?

EVE grew consistently despite being even more "hostile" than it is now

He said subs GREW despite more "safeness" being added. What bit did I get wrong?

OK but if that's the case, the unarmed vessel can't be participating in any PVP activities either. No mining, no transporting, no missioning (except for no LP or ISK), no trading, no plexing, no incursions. Doing any of thise activities will now earn an aggression timer.

In short, you're an idiot.

Unless the boost is everyone can wardec everyone for free with no timer, your ideas are as useful as what my dog left on the lawn this morning, as are all your horrible ramblings. Idiot.

And for the long-term, you're a ******* moron.

So wardecs aren't allowed? Infiltration of corp and internal killing not allowed?

I've ALSO said - moron - that it WOULD require boosts to the wardec mechanics and the removal of the ability to hop corps and stay in NPC making the likelihood of PvP a GREATER possibility.

That as more safety has been added, the rate of sub increase has slowed. There is no evidence whatsoever to support the assertion that making hi-sec safer will make EVE more popular. You suppose it will because of your preconceived notions about what makes people play EVE in the first place, but you've ignored the actual data. EVE grew fastest while it was more dangerous.

since we're going down this personal attack road

I love how in all of your threads when you realize you're losing the argument you resort to name calling. I have a six year old nephew who does the same thing and it's adorable.

Clever omission of where the name calling started from. You're starting your usual slide from intelligible to terrible once exhausted don't ya know.

ohgod the irony

CCP just lock the thread now...it's never going to get better than this.

Resorting to name calling after someone else does makes you look even less mature than doing so once you have run out of arguments.

Oh my. You're expecting me to follow some quaint morality line as I get trolled by people who obviously don't want topics like this discussed.

And that's exactly how they keep getting sticky subjects they don't like debunked. That's exactly how and why people get sick to death of trying to discuss stuff and that's exactly why, over time, the only ones left on Eve forums all agree with each other and CCP sees it as a consensus.

Would CCP be doing good for business by making areas - such as high-sec - a safer place to nurture and establish new players and corporations?

Good to see you fall for the tactic too.

Why does the timer need to be removed? If you CANNOT leave the corp on a declaration a removal of a timer is not neccessary.

As for what your dog left on the lawn, since we're going down this personal attack road, perhaps your dog grabbed you by the collar and dragged you outside. Just how big is the pile of **** on your lawn?

No, I expect you to provide supporting evidence for your arguments,

If you check his post history you'll find that he doesn't like to bother with trivialities like evidence or logic.

I love when topics like this get discussed/debated, but not when people can't come up with arguments with anything to support them and so they resort to name calling and stupidity.

No, I expect you to provide supporting evidence for your arguments, while the ones going with personal attacks get seen for the fools they are, thereby allowing you to gain support.

Learn the game before you go off and sound like a moron (too late but try for next time).

Did you mean like this?

Post #772 Suicide gank topic.

Speaking of food, McDonalds has over 25,000 restaurants in the world and feeds at least 46 million people per day. They are a publicly traded corporation that took in 26.4 billion dollars last quarter.

On the other hand my favorite Italian restaurant probably feeds 100 people a day and makes far less money than McDonalds. They only have 1 location. But the food is always fresh, the octopus is divine, as is the wild berry salad, the rosemary foccacia, and the saffron scallop fettucini. And you know what? I like going there much more than I like McDonalds. They don't make billions per quarter, but the owner has a 500 series Mercedes.

I'm sorry what was your point again?

Let me ask you this. Is it wrong not to be WoW?

Greg Zeschuk, co-founder of Bioware said: "It [World of Warcraft] is a touchstone. It has established standards, it's established how you play an MMO. Every MMO that comes out, I play and look at it. And if they break any of the WoW rules, in my book that's pretty dumb."

According to BioWare, yes

Respect status: lost.

You can't beat WOW at its own game.

It's popular and successful, therefore it sucks.

Back in the old days, and I mean pre-BC, WoW was pretty cool. People went out and did crazy stuff like raiding capital cities and kiting bosses into market areas just for lolz, not for achievements and costume pieces like they do now. You had world pvp for its own sake and people had to actually work together and deal with failure when they went to run dungeons and raids.
