OH. MY. GOD.
Truly, there are no tears like pirate/ganker tears.
What we have here is someone trying to earn a living (let's face it, no one does missions because they're INTERESTING). Someone else plans on interrupting their work and stealing the results. In the process of that theft, they (a) conspire, and (b) trespass into something that, were it not for the mission-runner interacting with an agent, would not otherwise exist.
Points (a) and (b) certainly amount to what, in the real world, would result in your detention and questioning by the police, to say nothing of being arrested, tried, and convicted.
What's been proposed here is a possible method of leveling the playing field, by making an uninvited intrusion into a mission pocket an act that would mark you as a viable target for the mission-runner.
And you guys are crying up a storm! Isn't greater opportunity for PVP what damned near every one of you guys are constantly asking for in these very same forums? Now, you're hiding behind CONCORD because, "Don't make MY fun harder or riskier, CCP, just those lazy, weak, wimpy hisec carebears!"
Personally, I feel that missions like this should spawn in more than one location - meaning that Princess Whatsherbitch can't simply camp one system, looking for a certain type of ship, and easily warp to that target, nearly certain of an easy, fat payday. Have them actually spawn in a system like Poinen or Osmon - that way, if you want to steal the mission loot/reward, you have to EARN it - work your butt off, put in some skull sweat.
Hey, you want to camp the place where the mission is given, note the player and shipname, go to several other BUSY systems looking for that player in local, scan the system, use D-scan to locate a result with a proper name, warp to it, and steal the loot, you've EARNED IT, and the mission-runner will have learned to do simple things, like changing their ship name.
In the meantime, keep on crying, guys.
Oh, by the way - how's that truly intimidating war dec going, Erotica1? |
