This thread reeks of whine. If pirates aren't gonna get you at gates, where are they gonna get you?
The second you enter a 0.4 system you agree for people to shoot at you. Thats what 0.4 is for. Theres supposed to be risk.
Now I'll sift through the bull****.
"There is absolutely nothing a skilled pilot can do in situations where you are outnumbered." - And you're saying thats unfair? You want to contest against 10 other ships and win?
"By the way Ascendant Frontier is a pirate alliance" - This made me laugh for so long... Just shows how clueless you are about life outside of empire space.
"Well actually the real issue is the fact that the majority of the community in Eve won't go near 0.0 and with good reason. Gate camps are prevalent throughout 0.0 as well as low-sec systems." - because 0.0 is alliance controlled and you can't control a region if people are wandering through as they please. If someone walked through your front door into your house would you ignore them? That is why we have locks. In eve we have guns :P
"To say that gate camps belong in the game you may as well give up on the idea of most people venturing out into 0.0. .... There was nothing a solo pilot can do. Let's face it, most of the players solo or not are not going to take the risk of going into low sec/ 0.0 due to these reasons." - On their own yes. CCP didn't intend players on their own to control 0.0, why do you think sovreignty is alliance only? You are in an alliance, why can't you break up the camp and settle into a system and defend it yourself just like everyone did before you? Empire is easy street, 0.0 is big boys world. You can't expect handouts.
To sum up, 0.0 is not for solo. If you don't want to get haulers ganked don't go there on your own. Have at least a scout, or instas and secure intel. As far as 0.4 goes, CCP made it so that CONCORD does not enforce these areas so people are going to shoot you. Again, get instas, get a transport ship (I can guarantee a destroyer cannot 2 volley one of these. Itd be lucky to two volley anything, actually), do whatever you want to counter it. If you get ganked then buhu, don't fly what you can't afford to lose etc.
It is not the game mechanics or the actions of other players at fault, but you not playing by the rules and mechanics set out in front of you. This is an MMORPG, the first two M's stand for Massively Multiplayer, so no more whining about haulers getting ganked in areas INTENDED for free-for-all combat because you want the game to be different.
*keeps this bookmarked for the next time someone says it* :/
