Yes you do. And even if you didn't, why would you want to?

Yes. Pretty much all of them do, because it's not really in their interest not to, nor is it their business to police those things.

Oh, and no, the market will never have any limitations on it that reduces its efficiency for the simple reason that this would be horribly bad for the market. If you absolutely have to control who transacts with you, the game already has that functionality. All it means is that you completely remove your ability to sell in bulk and/or at a high margin, though.

Gallente blaster boat producers are probably making a killing off these ganks, and without aforementioned destruction, EvE stops running; they are giving lots of people jobs and content on the industrial side. You are always in competition with everyone else - why not sell a high volume product which you can get other people to use shutting down your potential competition? Seems like a great business opportunity. Selling goods with a short shelf life ensures business stays good too.

Also neutral alts would make implementing this impossible. If you were seriously hell-bent and wanted to use market anonymity to your advantage, why not sell catalysts a little bit cheaper than you should, wait to see who buys them in bulk, and then gank the freighter that ends up moving them to their intended party-zone? Step up your game.

So implementing this idea would not affect me one little bit, even if someone wanted to.

There are. You just have to choose to use them. Your choice not to do so isn't sufficient reason to break the engine that makes the game turn around.

You already have violent solutions to your perceived problem. Opening up other non-violent means to fight back will also open up other fronts on which people can also fight against you.

No. Just build your own. No mechanics need to be changed in the process, and doing so would just break things and kill one of the key points of the market.

All the tools you need are there. If you can't be arsed to build it, then that's just another check-box on the list of things that aren't sufficient reason to break a core mechanic, right alongside the other ones you've offered so far.

Scipio ...

It's Petrus.


He's trolling ...

Then surely you should be celebrating the Code, Marmites and the organisations they and other gankers/wardeccers have built around their activities?

They also dislike the easy-mode playstyle of bots and people in highsec that have a general disregard for their own safety.

So if I understand you correctly, you want this feature in order to use against people who get ganked because they are playing the game on easy-mode. I think the title of your thread might be a little misleading then.

Have you considered buying a permit from a New Order agent? At 10m per year, it's a real bargain.

I like the idea. Or maybe set tax brackets for bad standings. Basically you can charge more based on standings or sec status.

Ah, so for the best prices I should only shop on my no-pvp 5.0 sec status alt.

And this solves what exactly?

I think any and all of us could circumvent it with our existing complement of alts.. so lots of coding work for CCP with no new driver for more accounts.

It punishes players who go into low sec to kill pirates (say that pirate has repaired his sec status, the 'good guy' shooting him will take a sec hit in low for killing a bad guy and as a result would have to pay more in high sec to replace lost ships).

Yep. I can't speak for "literally every ganker", but myself and every ganker (and most of the wardecers) I hang out with has them, yeah. Gotta run locators somehow.



It's not a problem. It's merely pointing out a gaping flaw in your proposal.

That being, that it would have no functional effect besides making things more of a pain in the ass for new players. It has often puzzled me why every "proposal" people come up with to combat the theoretical problem of ganking would almost always have the effect of sharply discouraging new players in some aspect of the game.

It also takes a huge amount of arrogance for people to think that they could come up with an idea that would work as intended in an enetertainment product used by thousands upon thousands of very creative and dastardly gamers.

Let them run out of their little dessies. See what they do then. If we're lucky, they'll all migrate to Elder Scrolls Online,
and we can go back to what we do best here.

I support this idea.

The less you sell to those who gank you, the more I sell to those who gank you.

Hiding behind alts is the single biggest reason to completely lock all the gankbears out of highsec stations.

We've got -10 security pirates taking down fully tanked ships , and far from lowec systems, all made possible by their high securiy alts doing the prep work and the complete safety of stations. You've got to be a trully risk averse carebear to support this type of system.

Yes they do. Still don't understand why forming a fleet with people doesn't set everyones security to that of the lowest security member. I realize big bad pirates want their warm milk and safetly blanket but lets be real here.

Whoever designed Crimewatch needs to take it beyond the scribbles on the back of a napkin stage and put some real coding behind it.
