Look, it's this thread again.

--> Features & Ideas Discussion

This is troll bait a discussion of nerfing highsec not a new feature or idea.

Do you personally feel that high sec needs to be nerfed as indicated by the thread creating post?

People whining that X is unfair get told to leave.

Whining about how something is "unfair" is what gets you ridiculed.

That has little to do with the profession of the pilot and more to do with the attitude. If you complain and ask for someone else to take responsibility to fix what you perceive as a problem, you deserve to be called a carebear.

If you have a problem, work out how to solve it yourself and then solve it. Take responsibility for it rather than asking CCP to permit your play by stopping someone else's. You have all the tools necessary yourself to disrupt the play you don't agree with.

Carebears on the other hand are a blight on this otherwise great game, they demand that the game is changed for their own personal benefit,

Well, you run the CSM, so get to work!

Feel special friend, I compiled this for you:

Why do these threads continue to be phrased in this way and with this tone? Is this all that people in low and null think about? It feels a bit like the guy who is jealous of his neighbor down the road.

Every day, he's thinking about it. He brings it up constantly with his co-workers. "It's not fair. He has all the good stuff. I should be able to have his stuff. And his wife. 'Cause she's hot." And every night when he gets home from his lifeless job, he finds something new that pisses him off about his neighbor. The perfect rose bushes. The new Mercedes. And do you know what this guy's neighbor thinks of him? He doesn't even think of him at all.

I have no problem with people suggesting changes in mechanics in any sector of the game, but stop acting like making High more dangerous is somehow going to save the game. A) The game isn't dying. It's not even on life support. And B) There's no research to suggest that this will in anyway increase subscription or retention rates. And if any says there is, it should be posted so the argument can finally end.

So yes, please put forth the merit of your suggestions (because some do have merit), but avoid ridiculously overblown hyperbole ("Highsec as it is, is an abomination and must be nerfed.") High sec is neither as bad for the game as you make out, or as vital for the game as the folks on the other side suggest. It just is.

This is your reading comprehension problem bleeding through again fair=!balanced. I'm not advocating EVE become :foxnews: FAIR AND BALANCED. Merely balanced.

They are continually formed because its something that needs to happen. Highsec is preventing emergent gameplay, highsec buffs killed an emergent gameplay event. Anyone remember hulkaggeddon? The highsec AFK-miner advocated barge buff destroyed that wonderful event which drew nationally recognized news coverage and players from all sec areas together for an entertaining event.

Highsec is killing the game one small buff at a time and the only way to combat this is with many highsec nerfs.

You're suggesting the game be changed by CCP to fit how you feel it should be regardless of how it affects others desired game style.

What needs to happen is that null-sec gets a proper sovereignty system that keeps the inhabitants busy and entertained, so they won't be interested in the going ons of high-sec anymore.

no. especially considering how it affects carebears' desired game style

Highsec is the "Helicopter Mom" / Overprotective parent of the regions. People who are raised by it, and are coddled by it their entire lives have no ability to cope with life outside of that cocoon.

I hadn't considered that perspective before but, I think you are on to something. I can remember a job or two ago an interviewer telling me that there was a candidate with better credentials but, that candidate brought their parents to the interview hence I got the job.

In EVE context newbies have their hand held so much that they cannot cope with meaningful loss to the point that it impacts their own experience of the game.

1. Need for control: Moms and Dads can't control Bin Laden. They have no control over the pedophiles or the kidnappers they read about in the paper. They can, however, control how their children spend their time and of course, with whom.

2.Bigger, Better, Faster: Children who are learning skills are usually slower and less adept than their parents. Therefore, it's not surprising for parents to feel that "It will be faster, bigger, bolder, and just plain better if I take charge."

3. Fear the failure: These Moms and Dads can not stand by and watch their child feel inadequate, unprepared, or miserable in any way. It is too heartbreaking. They believe that it's their job to shield their child from these negative emotions.

4. Desire to live vicariously: These Moms and Dads spend their time doing a large amount of their child's work and looking for acceptance and approval for their own performance. They get personally invested in every aspect of every activity their child engages in and take it to heart when their child fails.

5. Entitlement: These parents are constantly checking to see how you are treating their child in comparison to others. They keep their eyes on everyone else's plate. They believe that their child should get more of your time, additional energy from your staff, and lots of free "extras." If it will help their child, they will ask for it.

6. Need to keep them young: Some Moms and Dads are saddened by the idea of their children maturing and needing them less. When children are dependent on their parents, parents can feel needed and wanted.

1. Need for control: CCP BAN ALL GANKERS, SCAMMERS, BAITERS, GREIFERS, WARDECCERS, MEAN PEOPLE.

2.Bigger, Better, Faster: Its never good enough, make it better CCP.

3. Fear the failure: But without 120mil SP I cant possibly be suited for life outside highsec!

4. Desire to live vicariously: Why go and take part in large fights, when our nullsec wing will regale us with the tales.

5. Entitlement: Self explanatory.

6. Want to be protected as if a brand new player regardless of age.
