Maybe is time for CCP to add an "Reputation" kind of stat to characters (similar to sec status), to make it easier for players trying to solo to avoid these situations. It should take into account the n+2 factor on the battle records(killmails). Bait and gank should increase this stat.
Veterans might not care about the "Reputation" of the opponents, but the new guys might get a chance to have some fun with solo without being cannon fodder and create yet more risk adverse players. We have too many already

We have too many already Not to be rude but I hope not. Not instantly being able to tell the "reputation" or "threat level" of the opponent is an important part of the game... Reasons not needed I hope.
Player count is a good reason. Looking at threads like this it's easy to spot player frustration and player frustration leads to less people playing EVE. We veterans already have the tools to look for this kind of stat using third party tools, so I don't see why we should not have it in game also, to benefit the players new to PVP.
Also it might lead to some new interesting gameplay, where people who like to try solo will look to face people like them and actually have some fun. |

P.S. I'd appreciate the OP answering my previously posted question.
1. Looking at his post, unless he's a troll, he seems new to PVP
2. Just like the sec status which can be adjusted positively or negatively by the player's actions (or tags), this "Reputation" should not guarantee anything. It will just show to players that there's a smaller or higher chance to get a fight that might get them some fun.
PS: there might be players that will try to force the stat killing alts, but tbh if they are willing to put that amount of work in order to kill a solo frig or cruiser they deserve it. |
