Yep, that's normal. It's a dumb mechanic, because it pushes people away from each other rather than creating group play and has a very low "value add" impact. It's impossible to prevent awoxers getting in entirely (especially if you are a line member, not a director), and when they dot hey can freely blap corp members. Realistically if they removed the ability to kill corp members it would go a long way to getting people to move out of the safety of NPC corps and "me an my alts" corps which get way too much focus nowadays.

Your best bet is to stick to an NPC corp though. The more people refusing to leave NPC corps, the more likely someone is going to take a look and say "hold on a minute, we should really be looking to encourage group play here".

.... it's not like it's done as a method of creating content, it's done to annoy.

The end result of awoxing is that players stay out of player corporations and either stay in NPC corps or roll their own corps. If that's an end result you are happy with then fair enough, play on. I'll continue to advise people to stick to those NPC corps if they want to be sure to avoid awoxing.

Actually, I think RR should go suspect if you rep a corp mate attacking another corpmate.

Right now RR can freely help the awoxer.

Dunno how big a fix that would be but it will certainly make the awoxer think twice if he has to risk loosing a RR boat.

I don't think removing corp killing will bring in NPC chars since those same people also want wardecs to go away. Just add sufficient risk to the awoxer.

Yeah let's feed this more. The guy is part of a corporation referencing can flipping. What more of a hint did you meed?

I guess this answers a question I was going to ask.

Apparently a freighter will align/warp faster if it's being webbed, but I thought webbing another ship would be a hostile action, and make you criminal/concorded so that didn't make sense to me.

So making the OP's suggested change would make multi-billion isk cargo freighters MORE vulnerable to hisec ganking indirectly.

Correct?

What would make logical sense to me is corpmate vs. corpmate being illegal, but fleetmates can shoot/web/etc. each other. If I stab the guy sitting next to me here at work, the cops are gonna get involved, not just the company security staff. But if we are playing football, I can tackle him.

Are you a moron? Like really? I play with others, hence my membership of a null corporation. I'd like other people to play with others too, but many high sec players are put off, because the second they dip their toe out of their comfort zones, some ****** beats them into the ground and runs off laughing. How can you POSSIBLY expect newbies to take the plunge when every time they try they get beaten down?

Mammy Thule moves like a SULTRY mynx and can cook like nobodies business.

Sorry but you are wrong. Removal of AWOXIGN would just remove an exception to the ALREADY standard rule of agression in high sec. An exception that pays no purpose and reduces the recruitment of neew players. The reduction on the recruitement damages player retentaion, and the oens taht stay, are bouind to pass too long in NPC corps, having a high chance of contracting the carebear virus.

Sarcasm alert.

Shocking. The most vocal people on C&P are the people that support awoxing. Truly, I'm shocked.

Honestly, the chances are though it will remain as it is forever, because that's generally how this game goes. We'll continue to see a decrease in ACU count, and an increase in the membership of NPC corporations, and people like you will keep bitching about risk averse carebears. There's no way given the current state of player run corps that CCP could do anything to push people out of NPC corps since the majority would simply unsub, and if you are entirely unwilling to compromise, then you can't expect the carebears to expose themselves to the risks just to feed you easy kills.

You do not get it? It s not about AWOXING new players! It that established corp do not recruit new players, because the new players are likely to be alts made solely to awox their older members. That makes corps automatically reject any player under 6 months old, and that makes those players stuck in NPC corps... and contaminated by the carebear virus.

Irrelevant.. if more people being on one side meant that side was smarter.. USA and other democracies would have never elected some " challenged" presidents.

I , on other hand, am far superior intellectually to you, therefore I can see the truth clearly.
