I can categorically say I have never awoxed, however such a thing will affect the eve universe as a whole. Have CCP really thought this through because honestly it sometimes seems as though they havn't got one clue. Now I like the idea that in the eve universe, it is possible to infiltrate a corporation/organisation to assassinate a particular despicable character/rich carebear with a pimped out boat that never leaves high sec. This means that eve will be seen as not as mean as people like it to be and it could suffer from such a change. Would I like some mechanic to replace awoxing, yes, something formal [bounty hunting, cough cough] or likewise.
Would something like the Guiding Hand Social Club Heist still be possible in todays CCP? Are todays CCP leaning a bit too much on the side of riskless gameplay?

I believe the direct consequence of this is that there will be more suicide gankers and more war deccing, this in turn will lead to riskless carebears moving themselves into npc corporations. If this is to be laid true, then I think the npc corp tax which is 11% I think, don't ask me I don't npc corp, should rise in response, in order to encourage people to stick with player corporations.

Apologies for terrible posting.

Hmm, i need to think over what you wrote and work on my reply. Interesting stuff though and topic, haven't thought about it in a while, lol.

What does everyone else think? ^^

Don't worry. Before you know it, wardecs and ganking will be removed too. Just like this redundant thread.

100% agree

stop voting carebears into CSM

CCP is making eve more and more idiot friendly.

If a recruiter does his job properly it also minimizes the awoxing threat by a lot.

You can be 100% careful. Cross check names and search for history etc etc and still get awox'd. So you're point on recruiters "doing their job" is kind of redundant.

This is more to cater to the casual and/or younger player who doesn't have the time to do those sort of things, or does not have the knowledge on how to do so. They can't keep targeting older, "smarter" (*cough*) people as their audience, it just won't sustain the game.

As already mentioned there are still war decs and ganking to get rid of targets. So you can infiltrate a corp and steal their stuff or provide a warp @ 0 to a target for ganking.

This adds a risk factor to awoxing when there previously was none.

Don't worry. Before you know it, wardecs and ganking will be removed too.

80% of people just wont undock when wardecced.

come on lets be honest here.

The only reason behind this is "oooo I dont want to loose my ship in high sec"

awoxing is a part of eve and an important one.

watch early trailers. it even gets promoted.

Stealing is not awoxing by the way.

Awoxing is a great tool to bring risk to high sec for example where people already cry that concord cant protect them fast enough.

For the non neckbeards in the room, what's awoxing?

It could also make it easier for people who actually play the game to quickly assemble a corp without the care it usually needed and wardec the crap out of the carebears. This will still force them back to NPC corps or into small corps that use the reform non-exploit.

It will change absolutely nothing apart from removing content for a few players who actually played the game and probably paid 10 times longer for EVE than the average carebear who will drop out of EVE out of boredom after a few weeks anyway.

Don't stash the tear bucket just yet, as many other said, wardecs are probably next...
