I want to state, from the beginning, that I don't condone log-offs, have never done it, and wouldn't be in a corporation with someone who did do it.
While I don't like piracy, or any player who would willingly make another player his 'game' without provocation, I understand how it is played in Eve. I chuckle to myself as I watch these forum posts, at least five a day in different boards, all complaining about how there's no activity in low-sec, how CCP needs to change the rules to make players come into dangerous space, to force NPC corp players to face them.
One idea after another, and I'm highlighting the ones that SPECIFICALLY STATE THEY ARE FOR PIRACY, not the ones that have a good idea that just-so-happens to also help piracy. No, it's pirates complaining about not enough fresh meat.
I'm actually trying to become part of a group that's sole purpose is to TEACH new players about such things. Teach you how to run a gate camp, how to avoid low-sec space, how to stay out of a pirates hands. For everyone else, I simply tell them ... don't go into low-sec if you don't want to die.
I hope that log-offs are fixed, so that they can no longer be used as an exploit. In the same breath, I hope that local is fixed so that it does not show everyone in system, only those who speak. I hope insta's are fixed so that EVERY player can only warp 5km from a gate, no closer. I hope jumping into a system is fixed so that pirates don't simply have to watch for the gate to activate, but have a much harder time pinning them down.
More importantly to me, I hope that piracy becomes a almost permanent mark on your record. Just like in real life, if you partake in attacking an innocent player, even once, for ANY REASON, be it stealing/killing/scrambling, you are marked as a criminal against Concord and the game itself.
Once a criminal, always a criminal. Make it so that being a criminal has actual penalties. If your caught in the act, you can be IMPRISONED by Concord, not just destroyed. Empires fire on you at will. You become hunted, chased out and sought after by NCP's and players. You become a target for anyone.
Oh, that's right. I don't support gaining sec by killing rats. Want security status? Do missions for Concord. And if you have a criminal record, that security status can NEVER go above .1 ...
Just my off-topic opinion ...
