Still, I solo PvP in FW all the time and I now very rarely get blobbed, even gate camps aren't a worry.

I think Webs in particular are pretty stupid. There should be a solid counter to them. "Not getting hit by them" is not a counter. You should be able to slot a module that would negate one web completely. There should also be a skill to train that would reduce their effectiveness by a %. I'm really surprised it's not already a thing. I guess it's one more example of how pvp combat in this game is skewed towards the aggressor.
In more well developed MMOs, you would get faction or T2 AB or MWD that inlcuded a % resist to webs. In EVE, there's nothing like that. Or there is and I'm just talking out my arse. I don't claim to be an expert, just seems like common sense. PvP in this game is far from balanced.

I've seen this 'cost' argument time and time again, and it's wrong. Cost has nothing to do with anything. If a Bhaalgorn pilot odesn't know to put on an ECCM (and appropriate cheap sensor strength boosting pirate implants), it's his own fault he gets jammed and killed. Hell a Target Spectrum Breaker has saved my Machariel (I rat with a Mobile depot out just in case).

That's the problem I have with all this complaining. What you are supposed to do is do everything in your own personal power to solve a problem before declaring it some kind of problem that someone else needs to fix. If your multi billion isk pirate ships are getting killed in this fashion, you should be using the counters already available, not complaining about the cheap ships used to kill you.

Ofc it is - if you are damped - you may not be able to target your opponent at all, or maybe that kitting ship is so fast that it just out runs your drones - or maybe they just stay of scram/web range and plink away at you. (And btw your drones will target folk and continue working for you if you get them out before you are jammed also I think fof missiles still work and are available(?)). Eve is not balanced around solo play. There are many situations where one player is going to be totally/effectively helpless against another in solo or small grp combat. Its just the way it is. In fact, most solo and small grp actions are decided before the match even starts based upon such facts as ship fittings, ship type, skill lvls (both player and toon). ECM is no different then anything else - except that it really makes apparent the inherent nature of eve as a bastion for asymmetrical combat.

The same could be said for just about anything in eve. Why can a couple of mil isk desy take out a 6 billion isk freighter? And there are countless examples of single frigs plinking away at vastly expensive bs until they die. In truth if eve was like real life - no little frig is ever going to have a chance to solo a BS. But eve is not rl - CCP deliberately made it so that larger is not necessarily better. So it is entirely within that frame work established by CCP that a griffin can lockdown a Bhaalgorn. Ofc I suspect that if a griffin perma jams a Bhaalgorn its because of bad skills - the Bhaalgorn simply forgot to train the ecm counter skills to V or in lieu of that - forgot to fit eccm or drones - or have friends.

First off - your numbers about cost for ganking freighters is simply totally wrong. Second off - if you fit a bs to murder frigs - you basically cripple it, making it largely useless for its intended purpose. As for eccm rendering a bs useless - its one mod that you fit - which hardly renders the ship useless. But you miss the whole point - in eve you can counter anything if you know whats coming - the problem is when you get unexpected combat - which is exactly where a bs being tied down and killed by a frig occurs which is clearly functionally identical to a ship being perma jammed because they did not fit eccm or train the necessary skills.

Also I should add - ecm already got nerfed to hell and back. Used to be falcons were a thing - barely see them anymore - and with good reason because all vets know to train the counter ecm skills which make being perma jammed unlikely.

Theres that word 'blob' before. When my ratting ship gets tackled and I use the tools EVE has to get away, I'm not 'blobbing' im usually being blobbed.

If you don't want to use the tools that exist to solve this thing you think of as a problem, that's your choice. But you don't get to pretend like those tools don't exist.

And now, a very appropriate video for everyone complaining about something they could counter if they gave it some thought: click for Appropriate video.

They (and you) are wrong. I would love to see you types sent back in time to before the ECM and Falcon nerfs. If you think EWAR is bad now, you'd have loved it back then (not).

This goes to show CCP that no amount of nerfing something will ever please those who can't be bothered to think for themselves int he 1st place. It's not unlike how high sec miners claimed mining ships needed ehp buffs, got ehp buffs, and still complain lol.
