Raw Matters wrote:There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding how missions work. This is in general a solo experience and to make any reasonable amount of ISK you need to be able to do them solo and fast. Solutions like "Asks your friends to protect you" would require me to pay them 80m ISK/h for the 40m ISK/h [Is mutual benefit and acting for eachother's common good not payment enough?] I make from missions just to cover what they cannot make by standing by for the occasional loot ninja. And then I just even the odds. [Sounds like a personal problem]
Also flying with PvP equipment is a death sentence for certain missions, where you have to use every available slot perfectly fitted against the enemies to a) survive and b) do missions fast because ISK/h. [Apparently lost ISK/h is a "death sentence"] Sitting in a battleship I need at least 3 mid slots to be competitive to a PvP aggressor, that would leave a shield tanker 3 slots for defense, which dramatically increases the chance to explode even without PvP interference. [Makes me wonder how shield tanked pvp ships work]
Also you cannot buy mission objectives for most missions simply because no one would sell the only possible item that is required to complete the mission [Are you sure? Have you checked?] There are certain missions that drop extra items like the good ol' militants, but that's an exception to the rule. So most of the time if the ninja looter gets the mission objective you are screwed and can basically log off for the day [That seems like hyperbole.] because you cannot abandon the mission, so you have to wait for the next restart so the mission gets reset, this time hopefully without ninja looter [Run-on sentence.]
And how would I get there first? Sitting in a battleship that is already slower than a MWD Battlecruiser and then again and MWD is hardly a good choice for a mission ship because you need the slot and the cap to do the actual mission Since when is it a bad idea to put a prop mod on a missionany ship?]
And on top of that I am by no means suggesting to stop PvP [you are], I am actually proposing the opposite [you are not]: if disrupters are forbidden in High-Sec [PvP would be pointless. Get it?] then the very first thing I would do is to fight back [Because you wouldn't be risking anything]. So this would actually increase PvP [LoL] by a lot[LoL], but I guess that is the actual fear of all those PvP-carebears [LoL] in this thread, that the target is fighting back and they might actually loose a fight [LoL]
Seriously, though, get some mates that all run missions in the same area. You should make up a couple of response ships to tackle the ninjas. When a ninja shows up, target lock him to keep him interested and smack him in local. Link his name and your system to fleet chat so your mates can fit up some counters and figure out how "solo" he is. Mates warp to you and hold down the ninja, and you get a nice shiny killmark for your dps fit battleship.

I'm a carebear, I was once not happy with idiotic players stealing, I still don't like them but ultimately I don't give a sht about them or the loot, the loot is as one other pointed out almost entirely trash, so I could care less if I get trash pickers picking thru the trash, but if it's the principal of it just blow up wrecks as you go.
Most of those players who do this stealing fall into 2 categories
1. Low skill player who can't earn anything so they go for the lowest hanging fruit, most of them will never stay long term in the game because they have no real plans and just wander around.
2. A grief baiter, another type of low life who calls it PVP but they are almost entirely after lolz.
Both are trash, both should be ignored, there are things you can do doo to keep the poop at bay but it requires that you take steps to layer you game play. |

That is about what I do right now, but as a good Minmatar I wish I could shoot them in the face. Just that the system currently favors the loot ninja so much, that I either have to pay someone for backup or just give him the loot and let him run. But at least the mission objectives shouldn't be stealable, this makes griefing just too easy. |

So far you've failed to provide any reasoning beyond "grr PvPers." If you want to overturn one of the core tenets of EvE, the fact that at no time are you 100% safe, you need a much better reason than you getting butthurt that someone took your cookie.
Perhaps you should try playing the game. Right now you're nothing more than an NPC with a slightly better AI and much better reward for making you pop.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

So many people that want on my ignore list... so little space.
Maybe it would be a good idea to clean up this forum of PvP wannabe-whiners that downvote everything that could even remotely be considered anti-pvp even if it is pro-pvp but that would mean to actually read and think before starting the default whine. Discussing issues helps, crying and whining doesn't. See USA right now. |

Ah, so when confronted with reasonable solutions directly contradicting your complaints, you stick your fingers in your ears and shout "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" as loudly as possible. That's one way to handle cognitive dissonance, I suppose.
Raw Matters wrote:Maybe it would be a good idea to clean up this forum of PvP wannabe-whiners that downvote everything that could even remotely be considered anti-pvp even if it is pro-pvp but that would mean to actually read and think before starting the default whine. You literally just suggested making the vast majority of ways to mess with mission runners a suicidal act. Including tackling anything inside a limited engagement or while at war. How on earth does this increase the number of ships exploding? I read, I thought, I provided suggestions to stop ninja looters. You chose to lash out with ad hominem attacks.

His ideas basically make it impossible for anyone to mess with his mission short of suicide ganking him, which he would naturally complain about next. I see no reason to remove mission invasions beyond "the mean people took muh damsel" and that's no reason at all. Why should he be safe from player intervention in his mission pocket?
Frankly you should be ashamed of yourself for implying a comparison between player vs player combat and ****. You consent to the potential destruction of your space pixels when you undock.

Actually its more a case of this is an established and accepted mechanic....and career choice (looter/vulture is a career, same as say piracy) by even ccp. The old boards this was at one point in time running neck and neck with AFK cloak threads at times. CCP on record many times about this....falls under their HTFU guidance the long story made short.
I played in the old days. No can turnover, no crime watch, hell gankers had insurance. And there was something called agent quality so if like me and a heavy CN runner....you had to go to cesspits like Mostu was years ago (if changed I don't know...when quality removed I moved my ass away ASAP to quieter spaces). It had the one of the few top paying CN level 4 agents at the time. Want to talk about bad vulturing....motsu was text book worst case really.
Rule I applied then, same one I apply now. As mentioned....
I don't put a mission ship in jeopardy for crap loot in cans. MTU and such adds a new twist...same rule applies. even if popping these made them shootable...you wouldn't be advised to do it imo. Unless you can take the crap storm that follows. See its not the well they fit to kill you in the mission. They bait, you bite and they go we have a live one. This may not end in the deadspace that night. It could drag on.
Now I have known 0.0 types on empire alts run 1 man wars (official or hit and run stuff off the books as it were). They had the skills (and alt army to be honest) to do this. Have that, by all means feeling froggy, leap.
Me, I like avoidance. Off and on empire alts pay for combat's chars bills when out of empire. I don't need heat in empire. I make my isk, try to be a ghost in the machine and just do my thing. Works well...more than enough righteous rage bears rile up the crews looking for just that very thing. |

You think its better to whine on the forums until the whole game is changed to YOUR current way of playing?

Sorry for being insensitive and pointing at the elephant in the room, but if PVP isn't a choice you make but a choice others make for you - as I keep hearing it - then my comparison is quite accurate. And staying home isn't a solution. My problem with the game isn't the PVP aspect, or losing my stuff, that's part of the game. My main issue is that unlike other games, EVE doesn't encourage players to be heroes, but to exploit the literal worst traits a human possibly can have, without any consequence at all. And this goes from mission loot stealing and tricking inexperienced players to legal duels that they have no chance to win to becoming the real life best friend of an enemy CEO just to get your alt in the second-in-command position in that corp to destroy it from inside.

My way to play quite flexible: I do what I want, when I want, be it mining, missions, exploring, events, PI, anything. it's quite easy for me to adapt to changes. People with 5+ and so years of game time on the other hand usually have a style that they managed to perfect, changing that isn't easy.

The game doesn't encourage you to be a hero nor a villain. You make the choice yourself, and to say there are no consequences just shows how much of a liar you are.
This isn't a warm cuddley carebear game. It's mad max in space. Kill or be killed, be a victim or choose not to be a victim. That's what makes the game so great. But not for everyone.

I was invaded in missions myself a few times in the past, so what? Once I arty insta-popped the frigate looter, didn't stay for his PVP Raven to land when he came back.
Other times I blued the wrecks or ignored the looter. Big deal. I the grand scheme of things, the loss of time/ISK is minimal.
If the OP is repetetively invaded, I suggest he get out of the (likely) cancerous mission hub he's running L4 and find a quieter place. This a MMO sandbox, learn to live with other player interracting with you, even if it is not always to your liking.

In any other game, entering a PvP server/zone is considered consent to PvP, why should EvE by any different?
EvE doesn't encourage you to do anything. It just has less restrictions than real life, and no one really gets harmed. Do with that knowledge what you will.

Well my solution to Mission loot thieves would be to implement Trap Items which will primarily temporarily hinder and disable a ships ability to warp: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6696969#post6696969
Good for implementing additional content and keeping thieves from being able to get away, as the PVE mission ship can then engage without the worry of the PVP ninja being able to one sidedly warp away. |

Of course they want you to attack them, but now if you catch them in a trap they will have a handicap so it becomes an extra incentive for engagement, and you get the satisfaction of hassling them like they are hassling you. |

Provided the carebear isn't stupid enough to shoot, his friends in their PvP ships can warp in and engage the suspect while he stays nice, safe, and limited engagement timer free. Yes, this works, and in most major mission hubs, there's usually people chasing suspects around, at least when I was last there. I am not forgetting anything, perhaps you need to train dictionary to a higher level than you currently have it. To protect someone is to prevent any harm from coming to them, as in not being shot at and having their ships damaged or destroyed. If you were protecting someone then you would destroy the gankers or looters as soon as they appeared in the pocket. Problem is if you try this in high sec you end up with the distinct pleasure of watching from your pod as the gankers destroy your friend anyway all courtesy of Concord.
You and the rest of the PvP crowd can try and spin this which ever way you want, but in high sec there simply is no such thing as "protecting" your friends. You can retaliate once they have been attacked, and within a limited amount of time you can extract your revenge on them, but you cannot protect them. |
