dood. you got Kelled. Don't flip his switch or he wont stop til it's a threadnaught. Not agreeing or disagreeing with him.
In truth I agree with Vimsy. The problem with the whole corp rolling thing is that one party is paying for a service, yet the provider of said service is allowed to renege for a negligible price in comparison to that of the costs paid. Rolling the corp isn't the issue so much as the money spent being wasted. If either the dissolution of a corp resulted in a refund of the wardec fee or cost as much as the base fee for issuing a wardec there would be no issue.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Wardec a 2 man corp with no assets and expect them to easily evade you. Stop being terrible and pick your targets properly. You're literally crying that if you pick the smallest, least capable corps that they avoid you. Boo ******* hoo.

Not to call your character a dolt, but you're playing the part of a dolt. I specifically said resubscribe every month and not the common 'undocking is consent to pvp' because what you say is true. The inner soul of playing an MMO is the whole hand holding stuff you espouse. The MMO known as eve is where folks go to do all that sharing and caring with friends while they step on the heads of others to achieve common goals. That could be blowing up a super, cornering the halo implant market or duping some incursion idiot out of a few billion in hard earned isk (hint: 2 of those don't involve undocking).
CCP made the call publicly and loud and clear when the allowed GHSC to weasel stomp their marks and get away with it. They went so far as to capitalize on that being the soul of the game when they launched an add campaign based on that little jewel of an operation. Ninnies like you (yeah I just called you a ninny - deal with it) that can't accept the obvious can't be helped.
Here's a RL parallel to your desire for a friendly eve. I desire vast riches and a life of ease where I can play eve all day an pwnt noobs 23/7. The difference between me and you is I have enough neurons to understand that what I desire and what is real are 2 different things. I'm also not self entitled enough to run around the real world telling everyone that they should give me the vast riches that I desire. I just go to work, spend time in my garden and raise my family as best I can.
For those reading this thread, please understand that the Lucas Kell character is obviously being played as a lunatic that doesn't grasp reality. |

Who doesnt like pvp? I think you mistake me for some sort of carebear which im not, i just dont care if someone wants to run missions or wants to mine because thats how they want to play, i dont complain if i wardec someone then they drop corp because i go to where the pvp isnt restricted and fight people who fight back, but that doesnt change the fact that if someone can try and make someone pvp then the other party can counter that. Blueballing is pvp and thats exactly what dropping corp is.
If you dont like that people can blueball you then pick your targets better

If you feel that paying a war dec fee is equivalent to paying for kills on your kb - just wow.
The system is fair. You can drop a dec on anyone you like. The guys you put the dec on can do anything (inside the bounds of the EULA) they feel is appropriate as a response. Rolling their corp is a valid response.
If you understood the war dec fee isn't equivalent to paying for kills, then you would be able to take a moral victory knowing that your war dec caused them to dissolve (even if only temporary). Your 'I'm paying for kills' outlook will only lead you to the already evident frustration and anger. Thats not an angle that will ever pay off in eve - you're trying to pay eve (a devastatingly beautiful chaos generator) for a predictable outcome. It's a silly gambit at best. |

I like the blue ball mechanic. I also like that no one is immune to anything. I like the chaos. If you feel that some folks are entitled the ability to be free of the chaos then I feel that you are wrong.

And really, the difference between me and you is that I understand that EVE is a game, played for entertainment by a range of people with different desires, while you think anyone that isn't exactly like you should leave.

It was not an insult, it was stating a fact. You, like Holeysheet, are renowned for your shiptoasting on the forums. Unlike Holey, however, I granted that you do make points at times, but otherwise you do nothing but talk about how high sec is bad, etc. It's pretty much an expectation when you post that you'll tell us how bad we are for being in high sec for any reason, and how real PvP happens in null, and how yadda yadda yadda.
As for who I am...if you don't know who I am, that's your problem. I'm posting on an alt right now, but the alt is rather well-known. I've never hidden my affiliation with my main. |

Quendishir wrote:Unlike Holey, however, I granted that you do make points at times, but otherwise you do nothing but talk about how high sec is bad, etc. So if I understand this correctly, you are saying that if I make a point that something in highsec is bad, it can't be a good point? You've obviously not read my posts if you believe that's the main topic of my posts, but yes, in a post about highsec mechanics, expect me to be on one side or the other. In this one, the cries from you guys are effectively that when you wardec a 1 man corp using no space assets, you're upset that they easily evade you. That is your fault, not the fault of corp rolling mechanics. If you grew a pair and went after targets that can't reasonably corp roll, it wouldn't happen to you.
Quendishir wrote:It's pretty much an expectation when you post that you'll tell us how bad we are for being in high sec for any reason, and how real PvP happens in null, and how yadda yadda yadda. Really? Please link me to all these posts when I talk about all the real PvP in null. I fully accept that what I do for PvP in null is take part in mass F1 pushing blobs which takes absolutely no skill. What I don't do is whine on when a rookie target evades us because we made a mistake. I fully accept that some real PvP happens in highsec, but the majority of it is people wardeccing industry groups and noobies because the mechanics favour picking soft targets. This is an undeniable fact. Wardeccers have nothing to gain by going after someone that can fight back. But suggesting that shooting those rookies is somehow superior is laughable.

Quite honestly, I don't care. Whoever you are you're a nobody to me. Your opinion of me is worth less than nothing, and if you can't even enter a discussion like this without having to constantly troll and insult and avoid the actual point of the thread then I have no time for you. Not to be harsh, but that's the truth.

Holysheet has never been a good poster, he's been a raging idiot the entire time I've been aware of his existence which is several years at this point.
The funny thing is I actually sympathize with his gripes with marmite. |

When Holey was in Marmites he was doing fine. Ok, sometimes a weird moment, but in most cases ok. Since I told him he couldnt sit on the undocks again, he rage quit, war decced us and he started to send us typical Holey rage mails. So please dont blame us for his failure.

What happens between you guys is your business. I just found it funny that with some people the historic posting quality changes when their current opinion of that poster does.

Lucas Kell wrote:That what you are saying there is called scale. The more corp features you use the longer it takes to reform. The more members in the corp the longer it takes to reform. Like I said, the ease of corp rolling scales with the size and complexity of the corp. I'm talking about scaling risk with rewards that's all. There are certain rewards even a single player gets from using a starbase instead of a station. Does the risk scale properly to that gain? Is there a meaningful decision there? I don't think there is.
It also promotes anti-social gameplay. If they can afford the overhead the individual members are better off creating their own personal corp instead. The opposite is more desirable and healthier for a social game. The one man starbase corp should be the one questioniong throwing up a research tower, not the twenty man one.
Lucas Kell wrote:And most jobs complete in under a day do they? Obviously you've not ventured very far into industry mate. It's not very often I'm running a job under 5 days long. What are you manufacturing? A HAC or DST can be completed in 1 day 3 hours, T1 battleship in 2 hours. I've got 80 or so unique blueprints for modules/items and none of them take close to a day for a single run. I'm not sure if you develop capital components or Marauders or something but your average manufacturer can keep his jobs at a day.
Lucas Kell wrote:If he takes specific precautions to avoid the risk, then yes, he minimises his risk. I haul though null and have zero risk of dying because of the precautions I take. In any activity in EVE if you take the right precautions you will bring your risk to a minimal level. If a 1 man corp chooses to avoid any jobs over 24 hours, avoid using corp trading, log in every day to make sure he's not decced and pack up if he is, then yes, he minimises his risk. What you are talking about is punishment, not risk. Risk can be mitigated, punishment can't. I'm not sure hauling through nullsec is the most direct or fair comparison but none the less I can secede that finding ways to mitigate risk is part of the game. Perhaps you are correct about the language I'm using then. The punishment is hardly severe enough is my point.

Does the risk scale properly to that gain? Is there a meaningful decision there? I don't think there is. A single person with a pos has the same amount of risk as a 200 man corp with a pos, they just have less options to mitigate that risk. Your problem is that if they are able to mitigate that risk you think it's unfair. If they log on every day and run no jobs over 24 hours long and dismantle the pos if wardecced, they've simply mitigated the risk of holding that pos well.

The opposite is more desirable and healthier for a social game. The one man starbase corp should be the one questioniong throwing up a research tower, not the twenty man one. See this is why I don't think you are talking about risk. You state here "overhead" as in the cost of operation you believe is too low. Overhead is not risk, it's cost. and both a one man starbase corp and a 20 man corp have to ask the same question: "Is the ownership of this pos and the efforts to mitigate the risk of it's loss worth the reward gained". Their size is irrelevant in that and a 20 man corp has all the same options to pull down the pos that a single person corp does, with the benefit of multiple people to help tear it down and monitor the status of wars. A one guy corp running a pos where he can't log in for a weekend could mean the loss of his pos, that's less likely to happen if there's 20 people available to deal with it. At that point both groups can corp roll if they feel that is a viable option. The difference is that a 20 man group tends to choose options which limit that ability, such as longer queues, more structures and complex roles.

Unless I'm specifically limited by number of runs on a BPC, I'll be producing in bulk.

It sounds like you want portions of the game mechanically restricted from use by a single person. I just don't see why that should be the case. If one person wants to do something a group can do he should be able to try. if he wants a pos he can have one and if he can find a way to make that work, fair play. if he wants to try to take and hold sov and a station, again, fair play.
