It's funny how opponents of the New Order vacillate between the Code-is-the-greatest-threat-to-the-game-ever-so-nerf-everything-now position and this Code-are-inconsequential position, although apparently not inconsequential enough for them to stop posting about Code on the forums.

Either we are small number of players living on the fringes of highsec aggression mechanics, barely influencing New Eden and therefore the repeated cries for increased safety by carebears are just whining (Nerf bumping! Station lockouts! Buff CONCORD! We want consequences!), or we are indeed a significant threat to highsec safety (10T ISK?), in which case, well, you probably should buy a permit.

New order is a threat to new/casual players. It makes the game unpleasant for them, and they respond by quitting. That is bad for the game. New order is a joke to elite PvE players. Incursion runners and mission runners regularly laugh at the incompetence and failed ganks. Actually finding an agent in an incursion zone is harder than Where's Waldo?

Turns out the bullies only go after the weakest and most pathetic targets. Touche'.

Wow. A game that preys on the weak? Unbelievable. Utterly unheard of. Cause we all know that when we play other games, like Dota 2, you would never get fed off of people who are weaker than you. Thats why the weaker team always wins, because the stronger team refuses to pick on and feed off of them. Same as any other game. See a weaker, lower ranked player in Call of duty? Off limits. No one is allowed to shoot him. Otherwise, you would be a bully, going after a weaker, more pathetic target.

This is how eve should be. If a 5 ship nullsec gatecamp sees only 1 ship jump through, they should let them go. After all, that ship is weaker than the 5 ships in the gatecamp, and they shouldnt be bullies who prey on the weakest targets. Same goes for industrials, all industrials should be off limits to shoot at in low and nullsec space. Even if you see a Jump freighter afk in the middle of space, you should not attack it.
