I know that bms are killing the server and I agree that there has to be a solution...
But i was thinking more of a compromise rather than a warp to 0 option.
Gate to gate I guess warp to 0 is fine, but instas to station? From anywhere in space? Thats a little harsh, I didnt mind the 15k approach to a station... i felt it was some kind 'approach for docking' procedure.
I get enough smack talk from people when I solo pirate in low sec as it is, I can imagine it being a lot more when people insta in to the station from any random ss/planet/moon in space.
I think over half of my kills in low sec have been at stations or gate approach. People in belts are usually either stabbed up to the max or as often happens, you land about 40 - 50k away from them as theyre using longrange weps and they warp off. The only way to catch people now is going to be gate camping and praying theyre in cruiser size or above or theyre away. And gate camping is just dull, I roam when i pirate.
I agree we will see an increase in low sec traffic, and I agree thats a good thing. But, it's also a fact that a large slice of the playerbase are happy running missions and nothing more. Thats fine, I have no trouble with that. But this warp to 0 option from anywhere in space is effectively an invinciblity button for anyone in low sec. What happened to greater risk vs reward??
I know people argue that this may encourage more people to pvp, but in my experience the people who like pvp are doing it from the word go. And those who wish to avoid it are trying their best to do so.
This is the longest post ive ever made on the eve-o forums and this, im guessing, is because its the first time since I started playing the game that ccp have started testing on something im a little worried about... I can only hope there's a middle ground somewhere.
EDIT - On another note, bubbles aren't a solution, whether theyre allowed in low sec after this or not. Bubbles don't work solo, do we really want more blobbing?
