Bleedingthrough Project AIice 164	Posted - 2015.04.25 07:46:45 - [1] - Quote It is the same old story that has been told in so many different ways already and it boils down to: capital escalations. For me they are **** because they encourage a playstyle I dislike and think is harmful for PvP. Eve is a social game and you donGÇÖt need to be a genius to figure out that a mechanic that encourages isolating yourselves from the rest of eve for 4 consecutive nights might not be a good thing. Take a look at the groups that moved into lower class WHs for exactly this reason. Generating income from statics is actually fun and creates lots of content. I am all for getting rid of capital escalation mechanics and slightly buff full clears. This could potentially incentivize running statics sites and statics are a more balanced battlefield than in someoneGÇÖs home fortress. Also the spawn distance mechanic change has been a mediocre choice by CCP. It does make rolling more frustrating while not creating much meaningful content. More importantly it makes it very difficult to fight outnumbered. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5305080#post5305080
Bleedingthrough Project AIice 164	Posted - 2015.04.28 14:05:34 - [2] - Quote Sorry for the late reply. Ab'del Abu, I agree with what you said concerning caps on the field. Ab'del Abu wrote: As for rolling your hole safe, low class inhabitants do it too. Many groups actually collapse the holes in their statics as well, if they're going to run sites there. So much for content^^ The question is not if they do it (no one wants to lose a ratting fleet) but what the gain is for everyone. Compared to home sites ratting you need to find a decent static which is worth to rat in and you are able to control first. In the process you will more likely stumble across PvP opportunities and create them than simply shutting your home static down. Also sites outside home can not be done in one siege cycle and in general a fleet in your static is way more exposed. While I enjoy the GÇ£unknownsGÇ¥ that come with static isk printing and the teamwork that is required this playstyle is not competitive: Having out of corp alts in an isk-printing C5s is the way to go for painless, for the most part contentless and efficient feeding of you PvP activities/paying for your alts/etc. . Eve players are smart and want to win. Of cause there is a cultural dimension to this but ultimately players and their groups will adapt to what is the most efficient under given game mechanics. And if you add one and one together you are where we are now. I donGÇÖt know if this is enjoyable at the top, never been in the top of the food chain in w-space. Being part of a group that is more a punching ball than a puncher we have no trouble finding content and I personally donGÇÖt have a problem with groups being so large and competent that you can not hope to win in a fight against them. From a PR standpoint it is good to have these groups that make it to the news, something that attracts ppl to w-space, someone you want to be like, it makes you feel proud to be part of the w-community. The question is if the WH community wants more centrifugal forces in WH space and a plainer battleground. If so, dealing with capital escalations and alt farming might be the right lever to tackle this. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5305080#post5305080
