If people are going to quit because of a change which doesn't alter their own game play one iota, well they shouldn't let the door hit their arse on the way out. If you really believe in that line of reasoning, then you might as well call for the total removal of any and all pvp from the game. The ratio of people who don't want pvp, as opposed to those who do, is three to one. Removing pvp, and not just some underhanded methods of doing pvp, but all of it, would make a whole lot of players, including new players, happy.
How long can you take the risk of PVP away from a PVP game before people become completely bored with it? There's no PVE to fill their boring, hollow little lives with.

Well, wardecs don't work, and awoxing was just deleted. All that's really left is ganking.
It's one step closer, that's for sure.

Except for all the times Wardecs do work, and the trillions of isk worth of ships blown up by them. But hey, ignore that because it doesn't suit you. End result, no-one is immune to PvP in high sec, so, it's not anything like Trammel, or WoW, or any other sky is falling cry you want to make. |

Oh, so they're not completely voluntary thanks to an exploit that allows the defender to dodge it with trivial cost?
That's a load off my mind.

How long can you take the risk of PVP away from a PVP game before people become completely bored with it? There's no PVE to fill their boring, hollow little lives with. Does that matter? The dominant opinion is that nonconsensual pvp should be done away with. This is so not just for EVE, but for any game with nonconsensual pvp out there. Like I said earlier in this thread, read the forums of any survival game, as that genre is the last bastion of nonconsensual pvp elements out there.
When I said "remove pvp from EVE," I of course don't mean that these people would advocate turning it off entirely. I'm sure they'd be more than willing to relegate it to an opt-in, arena-like event system so that all the "pvpers" can "have their fun" without "affecting the gameplay of others."

No, you prefer complaining about the things that are important to you, just like everyone else, including myself. To claim otherwise is hypocritical, and to claim that only things that matter are things that are important to you is downright delusional.

The Question Of The day Will Players Of Eve Online Really Miss Awoxers?? And will it suck?Imean it really only affects a small % of already a small Fanbase Its not like a New Bro can Fly a Cap or a Bling ship or will even stay long enough to even want too whats really re8arded is Why would I want to pay for a $3500 for A Titan anyway(Unfortunately Likely One day I will) to only get Awoxed by my own corp that recruited me.

THERE it is. If you talk to someone long enough, the underlying thinking and motivation will show up. EVE mimics real life in that it doesn't matter what you 'want', it matters what you can ENFORCE. I enjoy 'carebearing' I play multiple types of PVE (missions, incursions, 0.0 ratting and plexing, lvl 5 missions and other things, hell i used to farm COSMOS sites). I do these things despite the fact that people want to make my ships explode. For the REAL EVE PVE player, learning how to keep people from making you explode while you gather riches Indiana Jones Styles IS the game.
They are free to come at me (bro), i am free to PVE while dodging them and still make isk. The fact that some dude wants to come in to EVE and ignore everyone else while also having an affect on everyone else (every unit of ore they mine lessens the value of everyone else's ore) doesn't mean the game works that way. The thing that i despise about such people is that rather than learn how to exist in the current system, they try to 'metagame' CCP into eliminating opposing playstyles. That's weak. I don't need CCP to beat gankers and Awoxxers for me, I do that on my own all day. While you may not realize it, what you just asked was "Why is FREEDOM in a sandbox game a desirable game feature?".
Wrong, it isn't my thinking, it was the motive for awoxing that you brought up. I asked why does that motive deserve cherishing in your opinion. Is it good for marketing? Is this how EVE grows? This is what you avoided answering, instead going on a pointless tangent on your PVE.

I would really really really really like to see some stats from CCP about the number of wardecs that actually follow the appropriate lifecycle of declaration, war, surrender/repeal as they are supposed to be used compared to the number of wars that get invalidated purely by the corp disbanding.
Heck, stack the deck in favor of "proper use" and included the RVB wars and never-ending Marmite wardecs against long standing null alliances who don't give a crap.
If the proportion is 50 invalidated due to corp folding to every 1 successful war or better, I would be astounded.

If the proportion is 50 invalidated due to corp folding to every 1 successful war or better, I would be astounded. Most wars get invalidated without anyone disbanding, because the majority of wars either don't result in any meaningful activity, or are conducted between entities that are unlikely to disband because of a war. Most wars against carebear targets, for profit or fun, result in the target corporation putting activities on hold in order to "play some War Thunder," "spend some time with the wife," et cetera.
I've conducted literally hundreds of such wars myself to fill in the gaps between mercenary contracts and wormhole shenanigans, and I'd say something like:
1/3 result in at least one kill, but an overall low amount of kills 1/8 get disbanded 1/15 result in multiple kills/resistance 1/30 pay a meaningful ransom or achieve some other agreement
Most just sit through the war and then continue things as normal, or their activity drops so low and so few come back that they're effectively disbanded.
I want to say that more carebears leave the game right off the bat when they get their first war than hop corps/switch to NPC corp, but I'm not sure about this one. Either way, the ratio is close.

I must point out that there is a remote possiblity of hisec awoxing being quality content, but the dumbmode point-click-killmail on a random corpie is definitely not it.

which part of being a complete scumbag and stealing everything from a corp's poses is quality content?
which bit of shooting ships that uncloak on a gate with no chance of a fair fight is quality content?
in short; all of it, to different people.
