Ah... the debate of what 'real' pvp is.  I admit to having played that other game and have been ganked... (and returned the favour) and guess what, as far as the GMs there are concerned, ganking by a max level character is still PVP.
I think with the overuse of the word 'griefer', I may take some of Feyd's advice. |

And by what definition of "real pvp" are you using as opposed to classifying it as greifing? Surely you're not trying to inject things like consent into this particular aspect, no?
And in my experience, shooting back or evading death as a miner is plenty of chance. Granted a freighter doesn't have guns, but that doesn't mean it should be perfectly safe. |

And in my experience, shooting back or evading death as a miner is plenty of chance. Granted a freighter doesn't have guns, but that doesn't mean it should be perfectly safe. When I want to gank someone there's usually very little to nothing they can do but die. If you're doing it right your victim has no chance. All it requires is that you spend a little time setting up the gank before hand. As the ganker you have all the advantages. You decide when and where the confrontation occurs. Your target can't even shoot back till you've already engaged them which is a huge advantage especially with alpha ganks.
I have no care to get into the debate on what constitutes "real" pvp. My observation stands regardless of your views on what constitutes real pvp.
EDIT : What I do find kind of hilarious is how the same posts cycle through the forums every year. This style of thread has popped up since basically the beta era. Everytime CCP gets rid of a stupid mechanic or makes it slightly easier or more commonsensical to do something people rant and rave about accommodating wow players and stuff. |

The 'sudden overwhelming force' tactic is in no way unique to ganking. Well in the case of a miner they can watch local and dscan but that's it. Assuming you're not going gung ho full on code troll on them (which can be hilarious) then the miner's only hope is to watch dscan. But oh wait my warp in point is a cov ops cloaked ship that then starts bumping the miner as it tries to run as it noticed my catas on dscan. What is that miner going to do now other then die? try to jam me? hahahaha. Use it's drones to whittle one of the catas down a little? Doesn't matter I intend to lose them anyway.
Freighters are even more screwed as they are forced to move through predictable paths and not even a scout can save them if you're properly setup.
I'm not a huge fan of the blob tactics that exist in huge nullsec fights. I stepped out of that area years ago out of boredom. |

Im sorry to say that even though he expressed himself in a very noxious way , what this guy says is very close to the picture i got after 10 days of playing. Its my first post here , but i honestly jump to the forums for everything that rises up. What i see ? New players like me with similar concerns , from tutorials to economy to skills or pvp , and same old veterans telling people "this game is not for you, *** off, go back to wow ". Same stuff overall can be dating back from 2008 maybe, and few ofc willing to work it out. And thats a general point of view from the forums to new eden.Somewhere in this forums they got described as Cannibalistic.
But contrary to the OP, I believe the company is to blame for the current situation. As the years passed mmo industry evolved and so did the average gamer.This is reality even if we like it or not. CCP should have taken some decisions that could possibly leave older players with a feeling of unfairness in favour of community growth with fresh pilots. Instead now we got a Fossilised point of view from the majority of the veterans in denial of anything "new".
This is a great mmo and every new player can tell, but lets be realistic ,the fun is way 2 far from reach, and although nobody doupts that its certainly there for allot of casuals like myself is unatainable.

Constructed problem around a non existing outrage mixed together with WOW and a generic CCP is a business argument.... posted from an NPC alt who is even named genericforumalt...
This is such an obvious troll, but looks like people bite really hard today. So you get a 9/10 from me, because you managed to troll with such an obvious mixture. -1 because you forgot to whine about grifers, but maybe that would have been too obvious then.. well... have the 10/10

Better now? Is everything ok? Look it was just an internet spaceship, no one got hurt. Just get a new one and follow the Code next time. We don't need to change the game because you are bad at it, just learn how to play and everything will be good.

RvB could do that because you guys have the numbers to do.

Come WoW refugees, come to the darkness. Come, see what online gaming REALLY is. Except things seem to be going the other way. Back when I started playing I would log on and there would be mid to high 30k folk on during est and there was a constant drum beat from ccp about how they were going to set a record for concurrent log ins and you would see spikes into the 40s (high 40s?). Anyway these days it seems always to be in the 20s and often the low 20s. Sure CCP claimed that after "this is eve" there was a spike in new users, but IMO it doesnt seem to have made a difference long term and every one of these updates seems to be driving long term users away, with none of the hordes of mythical wow users coming into replace them. Yeah and since then CCP has been banning bots in masses ... ... ruined the RMT market ... ... introduced MCT which made lots of people reduce their account numbers ... ... banned multiplexing. Considering all of that ... ... they are doing quite well. I still see 30k+ daily. That means for the times when I check ... ... nothing much has changed. Other TZ might differ. It wouldn't matter if PCU dropped to 20k ... ... if that's the daily average. PCU is highly misleading. What matters is the amount of users per hours spread across the day.
I dont like MCT or alts, because I feel they cheapen the game, but I do like the banning of multiplex and RMT/bots, and those last two things are enough to make me resub again.

the thing about ship skins is that it meant something to have a blood raider ship. It was also a large risk to lose one because you have to replace it, but not anymore.
further to the point, it is the sandbox of the people who pay for it. withouit customers, the sandbox doesnt exist. claiming otherwise is tantamount to believingi n flying turds.
Suppose everyone who hate the WoW floods and you call entitled takes their 15$*x amount of accounts and leaves. I bet the hole they'd create would actually kill EvE.

While I disagree with you on the premise that mining laser do not kill enemy ships, and that mining ships are terribly inefficient at pvp, I agree with you to the point that people can fly together, and choose not to.
I continue to assert that a lot of the problems of Eve online happen to be through the people being a herd of cats. People don't want to work together.
Maybe its irony that people who want to be "the ultimate badass killer" are antisocial even to the point of working together helpfully.
Maybe its irony that people who want to mine alone in peace don't get that they need others watching their back to have that peaceful alone time.
In the ideal eve, miners buy combat pilots who fly ops to cover a section of lowsec or high sec, these costs then being offset by raising the price of mined ore. Thats one of the problems of industry and miners. They undersell themselves so much they cant afford actual protection. Their profit margins are so low because they lack business sense, that they cant deal with any bumps of sudden necessary expenditures.
In the ideal eve, people do work with other players, rather than seeing them as an inconvenience or an obstable to sole play. Why do you play an online multiplayer game to hide in a hole and play it solo? If you want to do that, there's any number of 80's-90's games of SpaceTrader(tm), that dont have a consistent sub cost, are much cheaper for the original product/cd, and achieve the same thing you're doing in this game.
Of course, the other part of the problem is people who actively pirate miners, when they usually fly as someone who tries to get paid to fight for other corps in wardecs. Blowing up potential employers gets you jollies in the short run, but cuts you off from long term profits.
Without cooperation, even if its just outsourcing a part of your business model, you can't survive in eve, especially as a non-combat.
Ironically, as much as people using alts, to farm while they pirate with their main, can be said to be as risk averse as highsec carebears, they still actually do cooperate with others, by being part of some null alliance space where they can farm with their alts, to funnel all their profits to their main in order to fun their pvp adventures in lowsec or null.
If you want to mine or play industry games solo, thats fine. I'm not saying "you should go play 90's games" if this game is what thrills you more. You'll just have to accept that as long as you're alone, you're the bottom of the food chain. That's how it would be in a single player dynamic game that responded intelligently to your behavior and activity. A single player game where bots who are smart enough to band together and counter your industrial choices or combat choices would crush you with the weight of so many of them vs one of you.
The reason you win at single player games is because the game is designed to let you win. Now you're competing against other living, thinking beings who change and improve their strategies over time, and there's more of them, and they have more buying power than you.
You think you're going to go anywhere alone in a game like that?
This is not WoW. You can't fly solo and achieve.
At 5 drones of T2, the Tristan is nearly as powerful as the Algos, with a cheaper price tag, better maneuverability and speed, and smaller sig radius to avoid the lazy carebearish T3 station blapping -10s who have no life. Pick tristan for FW.

If the WoW refugees are a direct response to the skins, the skins actually used to mean something. You bought the ship, it was special. It could blow up, and then you'd lose that skin until you shelled out a lot of isk for another one. It was a symbol of either great wealth or great PvP ability.
Now its nothing. Its just like hair dye in WoW.

I enjoy seeing posts complaining about how EvE doesn't hold your hand in threads touting how great EvE is because it doesn't hold your hand. It almost saves me the trouble of telling you to go back to WoW.
If you really don't like getting ganked in Hi-sec, join a null corp.

Most just aren't capable of doing so.
Like all the weaklings in RvB, EVEUNI l, BNI, NullSec, CODE., ... A shitton of nonachievers who are nothing without the group.

I was going to reply to that tirade of abuse but;
1) I am truly pathetic, apparently.
2) Ramona isn't available to speak in my place. |

I think WoW and Eve are both good games...totally different though. The worst part about WoW is the customer service sucks when you need help, it will take 1-3 days. Eve is like, 5 minutes!
The title is a little misleading cuz WoW hasn't gone away at all, people always unsub after the expansion gets a little old.
I am not playing WoW because their archaeology system is really frustrating, and their PvP requires too much time investment to really enjoy. I feel like I can put 1-2 hours into Factional Warfare in Eve every day and actually get somewhere. I don't know why I got into WoW's archaeology system, probably the "Boring" factor that made me feel relaxed. Eve does "boring" much better though. The name of the server describes it perfectly: Tranquility.
Then I joined faction warfare!
Also I love the fact that there is time to roleplay during fights, it's not like that in WoW. Cuz you can talk to your enemy over comms while docked or in another part of the solar system. Theres no time for roleplaying in WoW or means to roleplay without losing precious time doing whatever grind you are on.
It's just a very different game from WoW, I don't see why they are being compared or why people think WoW people are coming to Eve. Eve is not the kind of game I see most WoW players going for.
High fantasy is so different from Sci fi.
