CivilWars Rolled Out Triumvirate. 113	Posted - 2014.08.27 17:10:00 - [1] - Quote All of these topics are a bunch of crying. The only logic people have put into any of their reasoning is they don't want to put ships at risk. Guess what, EVE, and especially w-space in EVE, is dangerous space. The sign on the door even tells you that before you enter last time I checked. If you don't want to put your assets at risk then don't leave your POS, or better yet find a station, it is much safer. Nobody wants to hear CCP's reasoning, all they want to hear is that CCP will do whatever it is you want. W-space, like any other space, is special because of the people, certainly not the craptastic mechanics. If the people you are with don't make you want to stay in w-space then find new/better people to fly with. If you need suggestions you can stop by our pub channel, all the cool kids hang out there.

CivilWars Rolled Out Triumvirate. 113	Posted - 2014.08.27 17:57:00 - [2] - Quote So wait, you think that suddenly because you have 4-6 connections to your home/static that means everyone is just waiting for you to leave your POS to blob you? In what world does that even remotely make sense. First people complained that they only had one static, so they had to rage roll to find someone because nobody lives in w-space anymore. Now CCP gives you more holes, so more potential pew, and that too is a problem because, well, I am not quite sure why that is a problem. To me it sounds like "I want to pew, but only on my terms where I know I will win." which is the very definition of risk averse. The first step is admitting you have a problem. I am here to help if any of you need someone to talk to. We Re-Rolled. Stop by public channel Rolled Out to join the fun.

I am here to help if any of you need someone to talk to. CivilWars, I don't assume that each connection to my hole has a fleet waiting to blob me. I'll admit that most holes appear inactive. Were you to enter my hole it would also appear inactive. That's because idling in your pos is silly, idling cloaked somewhere meaningful is more likely whats happening. So if I scout a hole out and don't see anything happening that simply means no one is decloaked, not that no one is there. It certainly could mean that there is a fleet in some/all of them also watching me. This means each hole presents an added risk and added reward. Scouting 5 holes isn't a bit issue in itself either, it takes effort but so what? Well now after they are scouted I'll want to do something. Due to a limitation of pilots available, only so many holes can be covered at once while doing whatever activity the corp decides to do. We need to adjust the risk/reward to a scale that is appropriate for the number of pilots available. To address that issue we will close the holes where we do not intend to fly into, this eases the burden of scouting so many holes and reduces the likelihood of getting caught in a position I don't want to be caught in. It is somewhat true that I want to pew pew on my terms. I want to pew pew where I have a chance to win. Would you engage a 10 man fleet with 2 T3s? Doubtful. Neither would I. This does not mean risk averse. Risk averse is turning down what appears to be a close/fair fight. This I do not do. TLDR: More holes is good. More holes I can't close is bad. Bolded the important part. To answer the underlined question I guess you don't know me or my corp that well. We have gone 7 jumps down chain to fight outnumbered in someone else's home hole because they refused to even meet us in a neutral hole somewhere in chain. We have fought outnumbered by a large margin more times that I can count. If we only took fights where the outcome was relatively certain, or the fight was "fair" then our killboard would be much more baren. So, now let me ask you a question. When you come across a lonely venture huffing gas, or a solo Tengu killing C3 sleepers do you let them live because you don't want to "catch them in a position they don't want to be caught in", or do you kill then pod them? My guess is the latter. Sometimes you are the hunter, sometimes you are the hunted. Both can be equally fun. We Re-Rolled. Stop by public channel Rolled Out to join the fun.
