Locator agents have a service cost. Obviously not FREE intel. It might be cheap to many but that ISK sink is good for the economy too.
your comments just confirms this whole idea is totally pathetic

If you have 10 war targets in different locations, 2 of whom are online you end up running 16 locators on the offline characters, just to verify that they're offline and 2 on the online ones (assuming they don't leave the location they were located in). That's 4.5 million isk every time you want to find war targets even when you only have 10.
That's already exceeding the practical limitations of locators since they (contrary to popular belief) are extremely limited in availability and have long cooldowns. The net result is that trying to find a single online war target just using locator agents without knowing which targets online takes literally hours even if you assume locators are an infinite resource, which they aren't.
Wasting time trying to do that when 95% of your locators will lead you to offline characters, which you still need to scout and locate again to confirm their on/offline status is simply not worth doing, hence the upturn in camping and downturn in literally everything else. |

Oddball idea ... how about asking your friendly level 4 locator agent (for a substantially higher fee) the name and location of the last character from a corporation that moved and is (a) locatable, (b) online?
I shall elaborate: why a character that moved? Because otherwise, people would just leave their character logged in in station. Therefore, the last character to dock/undock somewhere might provide more useful data.
Why locatable and online? Because we don't want to hear John Doe was the last guy from corp X reported docking/undocking but your agent can't tell you where. That'd be counter intuitive and counter productive.
Why "any character from a given corp" ? Because you can't be expected to start guessing who might be online- so you send out a global search for anyone in that corp and get the first report (the last character spotted) that comes up. Makes sense, no? |

Ive never liked watchlist in the first place.
I find if invasive of my privacy, in principle, that anyone, anywhere, can see when Im online. Instantly. and for free. Imo, its none of their goddam business. I also hate this on facebook and other social media. When Im online, its between me and CCP. I have a contract with them to login to their service, not with the rest of EVEs players.
Having said that, I have no problem whatsoever with people using ingame methods such as locator agents to ascertain that, or to find where I am. They are investing ingame time, effort, skills and isk to do so. Once Im logged in, Im "free" game for the rest of EVEs players, per the unwritten but implicit social contract we all share in that we all fly in the same virtual universe.
The distinction is thin, but important. And Ive always been against free information in all of EVE, because I have a slightly oblique perspective to most people on the nature/consequences of something being free as opposed to requiring effort/investment. Especially something so incredibly valuable as information.
Im against return of a free universal watchlist system. Im all for changes to locator agents, or new player detection methods, as long as they require effort/4ime/skill/isk ingame. Ill leave it up to more conniving/creative minds to figure out a system that is fair/equitable and cannot be unduly exploited.
I hope some solution can be found to widen the distinction between Pirates and Merc Corps, and possibly to enable Privateering and return the long-lost Bounty Hunters into the game.

Same. This is is my "main" or oldest account and the one I post with. I believe in atleast that degree of transparency/accountability when participating in important discussions with the community at large. Gotta be able to stand behind ones words.
Someday I'll finally form a corp, just to see how many WDs I accrue from years of GD posting.

Its funny the complaints over the watch list. Real mercenary work before watch lists involved stalking your prey, with a combination of espionage and agent locators. Forming a group and go hunting.
What you describe as camping Jita is nothing more than KB fluff aka stat padding. Almost close to griefing - but not quite. At least the low sec pirates put up a tent to roast their prey. Poor excuse for a merc corporation if camping Jita is what you have to resort to.
Why don't you go on a roam like the mercs of old did? The ones who were paid for an objective.
It's really not that hard to track someone down in the game without the watchlist. |

I try not to be in the habit of repeating what others have said, so I'll just post this https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=479121
Read it. Read ALL of it.
Years ago I argued against the watchlist on these forums because I felt it needed counterplay. Since it lacked that, I said I wanted it to go. Cue "careful what you wish for", because it's gone but Ralph, Lord Raz, and the Devils Rejects have made me a convert.
(yes it IS possible to convert some people's opinions on the internet, articulating a good point goes a long way towards that)
Trying to track down people in EvE is exceedingly difficult work. Even when the watchlist was in play, it was time-consuming and took dedicated work to track down and destroy a target. Merc corps like the Devils are like a modern day cruise missile - they exist to strike and devastate a small, precise area. And the watchlist was an important tool they needed in order to execute their contracts. Again, how do you strike against a corp that scatters to the four winds and alters their playstyle as soon as the wardec drops?
Like it or not, their playstyle needs to be defended. ALL playstyles need defended - the more people playing the game, the more immersive and amazing the collective experience is. And any inference that small, elite, precise-striking corps don't belong in EvE does a disservice to us all.
Let me be clear about this - I'm not a friend of any Devils nor do I know any of them personally. And I'm more likely to be on the receiving end of their business than employing it. But this game needs a lot less people leaving because their way of EvE life just got patched out of existence. So yes, even if I end up getting podded by Ralph someday, I will defend his playstyle and the role he plays in the large ecosystem of EvE online.
I've been on the receiving end of a hundred wardecs. Unfortunately I've never been in a corp that worked well under them. Most of them eventually disbanded, as is by design. But yes, it doesn't matter what work you do to track down and scout targets before a wardec. The dec changes everything. You know what I used to do, back when the watchlist existed and I got wardeced? I had the only resource available to counter the watchlist intel - a computer I could leave logged in. So I did. Every day at uptime, I'd find a random system, get to a safe spot, cloak up, and stay in there all day while I went about my life. Sometimes I'd randomly change systems or jump clone so if they ran locates, they might think I'm on the move. So what does your scouting beforehand do about that? Nothing, that's what.
I believe they need and deserve more tools at their disposal. To their credit, they're not asking for all that much. F- that. I believe EvE would be a much better place when there's a lot more tools in the sandbox for everyone to find creative uses for. I want them to have a limited watchlist that only works on pilots undocked and in k-space (so docking and wormhole diving becomes counterplay). I want them to have locator agents say the target is on or offline, but also give ship information so they know what they're looking for. I want locator agents to work faster and not have a "cooldown" time.
EvE has room for improvement, and the more tools that are in the sandbox, the better off we all are. We should be *expanding* the available playstyles in EvE (highsec merc, smuggler, pirate, etc), not diminishing them.
Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Yep, there's always a reason for tears. Nice Drake loss not too long ago and no solo kills at all.
Th World needs F1 monkeys too, and yep that means you clearly can't fight for yourself.

Recent (not really 'recent' tho) changes made EVE 'hunters' feel what real hunters can feel.
I don't see much problems here. Ironically 3/4 of the RL hunters I know use the "Jita" method of hunting. They sit in a shack 50 yards from a corn feeder and wait for deer to come by looking for a snack. Don't even get me started on cameras mounted on trees. (they're like scout alts lol)

I do it, its called scouting. Fortunately zkillboard makes it very easy to track operational areas down. Day or two of hunting and if you get lucky you might find their base of operations along with active members, ships and fits.
That's not including locator agents. Too many entitled wanting to be spoon fed instead of working for it. I've done it many years ago it and do it since i've returned to the game.
A little elbow-grease goes a long way. If anything its easier now with the statpadding on zkillboard than it used to be with a 3000 online player count.
You all have the tools which weren't there when the 'bitter vets' started.
The ones that moan are the ones without objectives.
Normally if you take up a contract you get the operational area information. If you make them scatter, thats half the battle won as there is strength in numbers. It makes hunting gangs a worthwhile thing. |

"Mercenary" corps were station huggers in 2013 when the watch list was still a thing, and so I must conclude that their only gripe is the loss of free intel. Though to be fair, I do see more Mercenary corp pilots flying away from hubs today than I ever did when the watch list existed. |

This is a pure fantasy.
What really happens is you spend hour after hour chasing people not even logged into the game and chasing ghosts is not fun for anyone. What people want is to simply not waste their time hunting targets that don't even exist and right now there is no tool that will tell you if a player in online or not.
It not about being lazy, its about having gameplay that actually works. Mercs and bounty hunters got shafted when watchlists were removed, its only right that they should have a tool that allows them to hunt people actually playing EVE. |

Hunting ghosts lets you find out alts too. Real mercs could work without it, bounty hunters I will give you that. But if you are really after a bounty, thats what locators are for. If you really are a connected merc corp you should have a network of tracers at your disposal. At least any worth their salt would do that. |

How? There is no tool to see if they are online and you have 130 to keep tabs on. The system simply does not work in its current form. Mercs have to mass war dec no matter what they do just to get a high enough chance of running into someone and the smaller the merc organisation the more penalized they are.
London Spy wrote: Seriously, i dont want to teach you how to suck eggs but you need to put work in - thats what you get paid for.
Note the organisation I'm in. Note that I am not asking for watchlists to return.
Watchlists were removed for a very good reeason, they were bullshit for super pilots but their removal screwed over all of the other mercs in the process. I cannot make this any simpler for you to understand, running around looking for 4 guys online out of a 130 man is not fun gameplay, mercs need a way to see if a target is online or not and that can be done simply by having locator agents return a negative result if the target is offline. Its not free intel, it stops people wasting hours chasing things not there and mercs no longer need to blanket wardec every corp they can find for content. |

That's called a job, and a ******, very boring one at that. That would be better done, in RL, remotely, with camera systems and recordings.

I don't see this is a problem. Im sure some will leave it logged in so you can camp outside the station for days. Pick a more lucrative target next time. You only get out what you put in, you put in no effort, you get nothing out of it.
You are bitter around game mechanics which have been forever. Which arent even an issue really. Sounds like a whole lot of whining for nothing really. Plenty to shoot in lowsec also if you are bored. |

I dont care if CCP makes locator agents more efficient, institutes a purchasable service to access Watchlist as it was before, or any number of potential options.
Just as long as its not free or automatic.
Participation in this thread and doing some thinking has finally congealed my previous nascent undifferentiated antipathy, into abject hate of the availability of free information in EVE.
Intel being free devalues the most valuable resource in EVE, information, to zero. I find that unacceptable, and directly harmful to content creation, competition and opportunity.
I recognise that the removal of Watchlist as it was, is a serious problem for some content providers. But I would argue its not the removal of Watchlist itself, as a free and automatic service, that is the problem, its the inefficiency of underlying systems/mechanics to take up the slack thereafter.
Im all for options to reconcile this difference, but they must require effort/time/SP/isk, or some matrix of these.
Im perfectly fine with even massive buffs to locating and gathering intel on targets, to the point of immediate pinpoint accuracy and even target tracking, as long as they require a rational expense in some intermix of effort/time/SP/isk.

The problem is that what you're describing requires dozens of man hours of work just to know if someone is online or not.
That simply isn't either a fun or effective use of time. |
