Good for you! Taking the initiative and learning to PVP to put an end to ganking...
Owait, you mean, you wanna change the mechanics. Well, no, you won't see an end to ganking doing that. GÇ£Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥ - Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen, Pithum Nullifier Training Manual c. YC104 |

The responses are more likely to require ISD intervention as they are non-constructive. A constructive response is as follows:
Benton - While I appreciate that you would like to play the game your way, EVE online is inherently a PvP game. There are certain balance issues which should be addressed, but PvP as a whole is a core concept which EVE is modeled around. There are methods however that you can minimise your risk of being ganked, such as tanking and carrying less per run, and using courier groups such as red-frog or pushx, which would allow you to play the way you wish to play with a minimal risk of being ganked.

I disagree with you OP, I think it is fine, the problem is that you are transporting a Billion isk worth of goods in a <2m ISK ship.
If you don't want to get blown up flying around with a billion ISK worth of goods onboard, then secure them in a more valuable ship, looking at your killboard, you deserve every ISK you lost.
Covert Transports or Freighters would avoid most of the problems you have experienced.
Don't you think, if it was impossible to attack others in high-sec at all, it would make transporting valuable goods in empire way too risk-free ? don't you think there could be a negative side effect of going from one extreme to another? |

*lays on couch*
It all started back when i was a kid. I would just be sitting around playing with my toys and my MOM would come out of no where, kick over my toys and make me do chores I didn't want to do.
What triggered my current situation was that I was playing EVE one day and a ship that USED to be called a MOM came out of no where and kicked over all my toys (my Carrier) then i had to go do chores (lvl 5 missions) to get another carrier. EVE re-traumatized me that day. Also i realized that my mother was a dirty hot-dropper and probably a Goon
Thanks Dr. Rem for your time!!!!

No, I don't. The valuable commodities are mainly found in low and null sec anyways. Haulers and traders don't go there because that's not what we do. We stay in high (and sometimes low) sec, transporting goods to places where they will be bought. We work to make it easy to obtain the things you want and need to play your pvp games. All I want is to do it without having to worry about being ganked all the time. The price of goods will not go down, because we merchants are not stupid. We won't lower the prices just because we don't have to replace our ships, and the people who pvp will still have their ships blown up, and will still need replacements, so the commodities will still have a high value.

Quote:What's wrong with being relatively new to the game? I don't pretend I'm rich. No-one has suggested that there's anything wrong with being new.

OP, don't argue from a game mechanics standpoint. Nothing will happen.
However, if you organize a platform based on hurt feelings and a sense of RL persecution then you would certainly see results.

I spent years in highsec flying around in pimped pirate faction battleships and hauling billions worth of stuff all over the universe.
Not once was I ever successfully ganked. You need to put a minimum amount of thought into playing a game that allows ganking anywhere, anytime. Obviously you didn't do that. This game isn't tailored for people like you. Thanks for playing and have a nice day. Not today spaghetti. |

Quote:The price of goods will not go down, because we merchants are not stupid. Your incredibly short-sighted topic suggests otherwise. I'm sure there's a multitude of industrialists, traders and haulers who don't want you speaking for them. I can think of several that have already said so, myself included.
