Its all about the quality.. not the quantity...
Unless you are a Privateer.. then quality dont matter.. wether it be noob in an ibis or a noob in a shuttle.. its still dead the moment it undocks.
The Whaaaambulance is comming to comfort the hypocritical privateers as they whine cause they cannot adapt.

Originally by: Kruel Empire wars gave the game new life to me. It made Eve the pvp paradise that I had been wanting. Small roaming gangs that could find targets.
Guess it's back to wandering lowsec for hours on end looking for some clueless noob in a belt. Or blobbing it up in 0.0 again. 
I could understand a slight nerf given the amount of whine threads (something was bound to happen), but this is just overkill.
If you'd only been wardec'ing people who wanted to PvP, you'd have a right to complain over the nerf.
However, a lot of your wardec's were against people who plays this game to PvE.
If people play this game to PvE, then they can stay in their noobcorps and do it just fine. Empire wars weed out alliance members who aren't pulling their weight and prefer to run missions instead.

It eludes me why this is seen as a nerf. CCP has effectively cleaned up the streets of Empire by edging the gang warfare back into deep space. Those who favor the thrill of the chase now chase outside of Empire. Is there a lack of real estate to war within? Is not the greatest expanse of space *not* Empire?
Are there too few pvp oriented players in this game that entertainment may only be found in unwilling participants? If that were true, then what would that say for pvp? What does a review of the demographic of Empire dwellers verses frontier dwellers indicate? It seems obvious to me, but what does it say to you?
If there are vast numbers of pvp players, then does it matter that you are relegated to the wild frontiers whilst the city dwelling industrialists have about their day building and mining?
War is never.. everywhere.
If pvp is the dominate faction within this game then as that dominate majority one would think you would have ample opportunity to kill each other.. unless of course the odds against a mining ship are preferable to a war ship. If that is the case then what superiority is being demonstrated over ones ill equipped opponent?
The new high price of war is reasonable. Consider what wars cost in the real world. The clever player will find opportunity in any circumstance. This new development can present opportunity if one but thinks about it.
It would seem that the success of either side of the equation requires the success of both.

Edited by: Dimitrios Ypsilanti on 18/04/2007 00:06:16 This is the perfect fix.
Nothing stopping the privateers from doing what they always did. They've just got to find a way to pay for it. No problem.
If they can't pay all that isk, then they get to limit their wars. They have to be more selective and go after only the biggest, most active alliances. Their number of targets shouldn't drop too much if they go after the right alliances.
Targetted alliances will probably limit their use of high sec for a while forcing the Privateers to cycle to a new target. The result is that alliances get a break every now and then until they increase the use of high sec and get re-war dec'd.
That's all you could ask for: A break every now and then.
Hopefully this puts an end to it.

If you guys REALLY want small gang warfare, then go take over a LowSec system and whale on the prats there... Hell, for that matter if it's decent fights you want, split Privs in half and dec eachother.

Please. As if Privateer's little empire thrills were the definition of pvp . When your balls drop and get some fuzz on 'em, come on out to 0.0 and see the real action.
WoW, you really dont know much about people in eve do you..
Most of the privateers came from 0.0, because fleet warfare is the worst thing in this game. Most of privateers are long served and very experienced pilots. Those from omniscient order, X13, Beyond Divinity and countless others...
All have had action in 0.0
And to be quite honest, there is no balls in 150 vs 150 man blobs...
Yes, 0.0 pvp is so much worse than station hugging, hauler ganking, run-from-any-real-fight while ganking people as they undock load lag in Jita empire pvp. Its clear now that CCP intended empire war declarations as a way for 0.0 alliances and corporations to carry their fight against 0.0 opponents into empire - not as a way for hundreds and hundreds of people to get around concord and the high security standing sytem on a massive scale. Get over it.

Effective sympathy level for the Privateers = ZERO
They had a good thing going, coulda milked it for months, if not years if they'd shown the TINIEST bit of restraint, but they abused it, picking on corps that had NO interest in PvP, ganking people with little or no PvP experience and now their WHINING 'cause they got caught at it..... oh pleeezzzzeeeeee 
The smart ones will adapt and find something else to do. And like some of the others here have suggested, if the rest can't figure it out, move out to 0.0 space for small gang fights. I'll guarantee most of the privateers would get REAL familar with their pods real quick....

'Adapt' really is a fashionable word these days, isn't it? Anyone still thinking before using it? Anyway, gg Privateers. I like what you do (/did?) and you deserve many points for originality if nothing else.
On a lighter note, I saw a Privateer in 0.0 today. Just goes to show, eh?

The change was needed, based on the corp war dec system I doubt CCP ever expected anything quite the size of privateers to happen, but it did. Was a fun ride, the only thing that slightly irks me is how quickly the change seemed to happen once the forum whining started to spam.
It was a fun experiment which certainly hasn't ended, just the funding was cut back. The whining on both sides right now is pretty amusing though, I don't see how any member of Privateers didn't see this coming (it was discussed enough on alliance chat). However the anti-privateers whining is equally pathetic, whining about people whining about people whining? Just let it end somewhere (Oh God now I've contributed to the circle).

I know nobody talks about the storyline/NPC side of EVE as having relevant value outside of the RP forums but you know really if Empire was a perpetual combat zone then logically stations would close. I mean you wouldn't see a Walmart operating business as usual in the middle of war torn Baghdad right? I said this in another thread, that the Privateers were proving just how much the storyline and NPC element of EVE has little of anything to do with the EVE we play. You dock you are in a peaceful utopia, you undock you're in hell. CONCORD fly about waiting to gank some poor n00b who shot at a cargo can and the Faction military fleet is nowhere to be seen. Just all seems rather odd and disjointed if we are to accept that EVE actually has a storyline.

If Concord came down and instantly vaporized everyone shooting directly at/into Walmart or any customers in the parking lot not partaking in said war, yes, yes they would.
