It's one step towards balancing high-sec mechanics properly.
I keep hearing this same one argument about this, "ooooh but outside of highsec you have to deal with awoxers, why is highsec special". Ummm, because it's high-sec. There is CONCORD in highsec. Stupid that it was ever allowed to begin with.

But you want to know what really makes the game like a themepark MMO? When awoxers in highsec can't grow a pair and do the same thing in null or WH. if people are going to quit over this its not because of themepark anything, its because they are too sissy to do their awox thing against non highsec corps who actually know how to fight back. the real themeparkers are the awoxers.

adapt or die is how this works.

Can I ahve your stuff, I promise to put a reasonable portion of your stuff towards ganking people with too much wealth if you do.

Some thoughts on posts by others.


Asking for full API keys may work for nul, low and WH corps, if you ask for a full API key for a high sec corp and most players will tell you exactly where to stuff your request especially the newbies making this almost irrelevant when taling about high sec corps.


I doubt seriously that the casual players would care if Star Citizen became a thing in this game it is far more likely to affect the vets such as yourself. But in basic I agree with you that EVE becoming more like Star Citizen would not be a good thing.
Besides that it is those casual players that make up the largest percentage of the player base in EVE and they are the ones most likely to pay for their subscriptions and to buy plex to convert to ISK so keeping them in game should be high on your priorities list. And I have to wonder if giving up high sec AWOXing in exchange for keeping the cash cow of casual player may not be best for this game as a whole?

Multiples here extracted and combined due to quote limitations in a post.

I doubt very much that high sec AWOXing adds a "significant amount" of content to this game. In fact I doubt very much that most of the players in this game would even notice if AWOXing was removed.

The acts of AWOXing that have made news outside of this game were likely done to/in a nul sec corp and removing AWOXing from high sec would have no affect on these nul/low sec situations.

AWOXing is not something that encourages most new players to stick around this game. In fact it is likely to have the opposite affect and drive many more out of the game than it would keep in the game.

Not really. They can still steal, spy, scout etc.
And removing a little bit of the psych eval needed for EVE corp applications won't really hurt the game.
