It's simple really. The Devs stated they want EVE to be harsh, unforgiving, survival of the fittest in all aspects.
Only form a player corp, create something yourself, if you're ready to fight for it and defend it.
You dont get anything for free and without risk, deal with it.
If you dont like it, leave, since the game wont change, as its not broken.

Edited by: Patch86 on 15/01/2007 21:02:09 Heres the thing, and its the reason why it'll never happen, and the reason you'er getting such a negative response:
EVE has non-consensual PvP.
Thats the whole point. It's one of its major selling points. it is, frankly, what makes it EVE.
So no, lets not change it. If you choose to leave the NPC corps, you are consenting to combat just as surely as if you'd logged into an Unreal Tournament game.
On a more constructive note, if you are having problems being war-decc'd by people, you do have options.
1) FIGHT BACK. You don't need much in the way of SP or isk to make an effect- get a bunch of you together in T1 frigs and cruisers and go ambush them.
2) Join a group that can defend itself. Seriously, the only way to be "safe" in EVE is to be part of a decent social group- if your current corp fails to provide, there are plenty who can.
3) Hire Mercenaries. Ask on the forums, and you'll get offers. Reasonably priced, too.
4) Pay your enemy to stop fighting you. Its weaselly and cowardly, but if they're asking a "ransom" you can always try paying it.
5) Leave Empire for 0.0. Seriously, Empire is a serious PITA, and you have no idea how happy I was when I realised I was shot of it. A decent chunk of 0.0 is many times safer than high-sec, much more profitable, less laggy, more fun, and so forth. Staying in Empire these days is like playing EVE on hard mode..........  -----------------------------------------------

Goes to show ya. Just because a game wins countless awards (including pvp - http://mmorpg.com/showFeature.cfm/loadFeature/1043) , and universal accolades by it's contemporary critics does not mean it's a game that is for everyone.
If EvE has a theme besides "space-fight-pew-pew", it is vicious, uncompromising machevellian capitalism. It is not a fair game (like Life). That being said, it IS a balanced game (for the most part), and if you, or this corp leader, puts it's time in, does the homework, and learns how to adapt, a new corp can flourish. Happens all the time. Your experiences do not prove that this is a broken game. It does not contradict the experiences of plenty of other young, successful pilots and entrepreneurs. It is the non-consensual nature of PVP in this game that (1) has won it the loyal fanbase and accolades it has and (2) has repeatedly been confirmed as intentional by it's developers.
Learn, and adapt.

We pay the same subscription fees so why must we be killed when we do not want to? We play the game for fun and when we have the time to play eVe, we want to do our own stuffs. If we want to do business, we do business. If we want to PVP, we go to low sec or null sec to PVP. Getting griefed/ganked by someone in a battleship when you are in a hauler is not PVP! --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

If you dont like it Jenny, WoW awaits you.
(You can donate your stuff to the OP on your way out)
Without unconsensual PvP, there would be no piracy, no mercs, and no T2 market as nobody would lose ships.
It is all part of the bigger picture, the tools are there for you to avoid PvP if you really must.
Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

Not really. You have low secs and null secs PVP. You will still lose stuffs there. High secs PVP is griefing. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria!

hey hey
solution = nublet corp.
you cant war dec them and you can still play as you like with as many friends as you want to. The second you are in a player corp then its pretty much anything goes. Being a CEO of a player corp of whatever style corp you wish to create will bring politics raging down upon you and even the slightest action by any of your members can cause a war dec. some corps will dec you for fun.
this even reflects upon real life too. how many corporate mergers/takeovers/lawsuits etc do you read about ? they are just eve wannabies war dec'ing in their own way :)

Jenny, really, are you taking the urinal?
If you dont want to be suicide ganked with a bill of minerals in your hauler, dont fly a hauler, fly a transport. If you don't want to be decced by the likes of privateers, then join a corp they are unlikely to dec, if that corp will have you that is.
Eve is a PVP based game, any attempt by CCP to diminish the pvp element would be suicidal.

It really isnt hard to avoid wars if u really dont want to PvP.
i know people who have never PvPed in their lives, have never lost a ship to a player, have played for over 3 years AND lived in 0.0 for a few months.
Trust me, after being on the war declaring side of the arguement fiding targets that dont want to be found is impossible!!
They only have so many war declarations... Get creative
A war corp taht doesnt get any targets doesnt stay for long, dont form fleets to attack them, that is what they want, bore them to death..
You cant stop the corps joining and leaving to be involved in, and to avoid the war, do the same to them
Drop out into your noob corp, have all players ganged up and just keep a holder char in the corp you left, you all have 2 alts, use them for hangar access and whatever.
Get creative, stop complaining, its a game, play it, play them, dont like the way they play, make they way of play boring.
I am a PvPer, and i have been on the recieving end of war avoiding tactics many a time...
We just moved on to the next target... :)

These are the types of threads that make me not want to read the forums.
Seriously, get over it - you can see peoples status to your corp in local which makes it fairly simple to avoid fights. Some corp wardecced us for no reason in Empire, we got on with life an just kept our eye on things.
The Eve universe is huge, stop whining and play better.

Sorry, but I challenge ANYONE to gank one of my trnasports in high sec, I fit to sustain an alpha strike from a full T2 fitted Tempest with maxxed out gunnery skills (on my alt ofc, I would not be caught dead in such a carebearish vessel) :P

griefing I see this word tossed around so much. Griefing is not shooting at some one to get a point across or to get something from them be it Loot, Isk, Surrender, Revenge etc. GRIEFING IS JUST BLOWING THE CRAP OUT OF THE SAME PERSON/PERSONS TO **** THEM OFF.
Privateers are highsec pirates not griefers. If you've been wardec'd by the privateers then odds are you had a profit potential. Best Dressed Corp of 2006 and 2007! -Marcus TheMartin Marcus Thinks Eve who knew!? |
