Generals4 wrote:Ironically when mechanics allow "pirate tears" they whine and call "hax". Like the wardec shield "system" , apparently a blatant abuse of mechanics according to some "pirates". No, you're confusing two rather different things here.
The problem with allowing decshields is that it renders certain highsec property completely safe that shouldn't be safe GÇö most notably POSes GÇö which means that, through poorly thought-through (and completely unnecessary) policy, they've broken a couple of rather important gameplay mechanics and as a result broken a part of the industrial economy.
Pirates don't give a crap about wardecs; proper industrialists do. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Griefers don't care about POSes (too much work, no grief, not worth getting banned over). EVE Uni might like it, but for the exact reason it's a very bad change.

Postumius Aculeo wrote:Question: Why is it that whenever the balance question comes up, the first solution suggested is ALWAYS for the carebears to radically change their playstyle to that of the gankers (PvP)? I've got nothing against PvP, but why should the PvE players be FORCED to switch to PvP in order to survive? Because the GÇ£problemsGÇ¥ the carebears face are not actually problems GÇö they're purposefully designed game elements that have existing solutions. The only real problem is that the carebears refuse to make use of those solutions and instead want to change the game to fit their playstyle.
The reason they should adopt a more secure play style is because they're in a PvP game GÇö it's up to you to ensure your own survival, not the game, and if they don't want to take care of themselves, they have no-one but themselves to blame for failing to survive.

ReiAnn wrote:And by the way, there is no where on the main site that claims EVE is a pvp only game. so either the developers need to change their advertising or actually make EVE a game of all varieties. Have you tried actually visiting the main site before making these kinds of claims?
When I go there now, its main feature is a rolling slideshow showing four particular areas: GÇ£One universeGÇ¥, GÇ£Discover the sandboxGÇ¥, GÇ£EVE's creationsGÇ¥ and GÇ£Be a capsuleerGÇ¥.
One universe: a lot of talk about dominating the galaxy, taking part in warfare, engaging in politics, competing against other players. Discover the sandbox: discusses how every action you take affects the rest of the universe. EVE's creations: mainly videos featuring combat. Be a capsuleer: mentions that there are other playersGǪ
GǪof these four highlights, only the last one does not feature combat and competition in a very clear way (and even the capsuleer page shows competition between players). In addition, all of their advertising is about the PvP. So yeah, no, you'd have to be pretty darn daft to look at the main page or read anything about EVE anywhere and not grasp the PvP nature of the game.
They advertise the game for what it is GÇö there is no need to change it to make it GÇ£a game of all varietiesGÇ¥ (largely because it would be impossible and because it would actually ruin everything that makes the game special). GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Serene Repose wrote:Suicide missions of any sort should be a last resort. GǪand the thing (that others have pointed out already) is that it most likely already is. The problem is rather that, after years of security buffs and a complete abandonment of policing various exploits, suicide ganking is the last and only resort. If there has been any real increase in ganks (and I still doubt it on a longer scale, even though February had more of them than January according to CCP) then it's because there's nowhere else to go.
Quote:The other major point would be if you can suicide gank for significant profit to the ganker, there's no point in anyone doing anything else in the game - chokepoint - fundamental design flaw. That's part of it, and it kind of follows on the above point: it's not necessarily that ganks pay too much GÇö it's that the alternatives pay too little compared to the effort involved, due to how difficult they have become to set up in the GÇ£security creepGÇ¥ that has happened over the years. In addition, this security creep negatively feeds the profit mechanism: the safer people think they are, the more value they put into (or onto) their ships without worrying about it, so the better-paid the ganks become, the more the effort/reward for this kind of piracy goes out of whackGǪ
I still maintain that the best thing that can happen to highsec is to make it much less inherently safe, which requires people to adopt safety behaviour to decrease their risks, which improves their chances to avoid or just plain old survive ganks, which forces attackers to adopt better-planned strategies (that the lower safety level now allows for)GǪ
GǪand everyone wins (kind of): people are effectively more secure; that security is player-made; more combat options are available for the pirates; and more variety, choice and planning is available to all.
The design flaw is in the increased security, which gives the wrong signals to the victims and which lock attackers into a single tactic, and how these two then keep reinforcing themselves. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥
