I actually happen to agree and am going to type a civilized response.
High Sec is depleting. I guess there was enough crying from the carebears that CCP has decided to Mommy-Coddle them. I started bitching about it when the killrights thing became universal. Basically killed the purpose of concord and on top of that now we've got AWOXing coming to an end.
What originally attracted me to this game when I started playing like 3-ish or so years ago was the enormous risk involved in the game. It didn't matter where you went. It was a game for griefers and the risk that something could happen to you no matter where you went is what made it attractive. You didn't know what was waiting right around the corner so to speak. Now they're pushing very hard to make highsec safesec. AWOXing is gone. Killright mechanics have gone absolute full ****** and from what I've heard there's talk of wardecs being removed completely and any kind of pvp engagement being made impossible in high sec. If you're going to want pvp you'll have to go to low sec for faction warfare, K-Space or nullsec and put up with all the bullshit politics out there.
I'm sorry, but CCP better wake up and realize their game isn't that interesting for people stick around when the high sec mechanics are finally set up to Mommy-Coddle those who live there. People are going to leave in droves and that's the simple truth of it. There was a magazine article a few years ago that I had read before I joined the game that called EVE a game for "sociopaths and griefers" and that really is exactly what it was when I joined. the Griefers, pirates and assholes is what created the "risk" in the game and CCP is doing away with it arrogant thinking that the game will still have enough interesting value to keep people playing. Sorry but it wont. They've become a little too proud of this game and I don't think they're realizing that they're going to really stagnatize it.
I'm one of those people who absolutely hates nullsec, nullsec politics and giant fleets. Been there, done that and they really don't do it for me and I know I'm definitely not alone. Sorry but I don't get a thrill seeing my name on a killmail like 50 names down the list with 0.000001% dps contribution to an Apocalypse kill after having type "GF" in local for the billionth time with the FC screaming over coms to say only that or nothing at all.
All I can say to CCP is keep it up. Wont be long before I, and other people like me, are back in WoW camping the Stormwind gate, shooting lowbies and making them angry for the fun of it. |

High Sec may be a starting and learning area, but part of this game is learning to cope with loss. Get used to it. Because high sec is nothing compared to the loss you'll experience in null sec. If you think losing a single mining barge is expensive, wait til your FC and alliance leaders tell you to get about 5 to 6 battleships up fully fitted and ready to go for CTAs. Sorry but people who whine about barge losses as if it's some great travesty against mankind have clearly never played EVE. Again there's that learning issue.
ETA: I forget who the hell made the long post and I'm too lazy to go look up the name so this is directed at them. |

You sir nailed it pretty good. That's exactly how I feel. There is no truly safe place in this game. PERIOD. The risk factory is what brings the content. |

It seems that it's become a conventional wisdom that it's lowsec, null, and W-space that are are the places where one can find real content and those fabled "goodfites" everyone is talking about. As for highsec (except for RvB, arguably), there's nothing but griefers, merc slapfights, and cheap drama there, so anyone who's looking for real PvP should immediately leave highsec.
. Very true. I wish I had stopped reading here so I wasn't bothered with drivel about how challenging it is to run a disposable ganking alt.
oh you poor child, are those tears I'm seeing? |
