Weel here it is. Im asking to Close ALL of EVE 10/10 plex while the Blood Raiders plex are getting fixed. It is simply du unfair that alliances that does not occupy blood raider space are able to do tens of billions per day while the ones that occupy Blood raider space aint doing a $h!t because thier 10/10 plex are bugged.
Knowing that a 10/10 plex can generate more than 2 Bill/day isk if farmed correctly its not acceptable and mostly not FAIR that ONLY the DELVE, QUERIOUS and PERIOD BASIS 10/10 complex are getting closed. This certainly affects the fairness of the game and also the gamming experiance of an alliance members if the alliance in question can't generate ISK the way ALL alliance does (doing 10/10 plex)
So due to a clear unfairness i ask for the closure of all EVE 10/10 plex until the blood raiders 10/10 plex are fixed.

Their is WAY too much dependence on these static plexes. This is a really tender nerve for certain "alliances", and It wouldn't suprize me if this thread gets moved/locked/ or just dissapears......again like all the others. Exploration would be too much work and skill build up for said Alliances, which might make them take a loss of some kind in the process of finding the "precious". This tenderness makes me suspicous of the manor in which spawn rates of *certain* plexs are, but I don't wanna get too carried away.

Exploration still needs some work. Yesterday I did one 'unknown' site again, almost lost two ships, no rewards.
After killing the overseer I got an escalating path / a expedition, but it was several jumps away in 0.0 and the way there quite dangerous and it said that excalating path are even more dangerous. I was not in the mood to race there in one hour and risk my pve ship for that, if the rewards aren't as good as in a usual higher complexes. Well, now people might suggest doing it in a bigger gang, but that means that there have to be some decent rewards. I don't gather a 5 people gang, waste a lot of time with probing to get the same income like for a lvl.4 mission in high-sec.
Currently explorers just seem to look for radar and magnetometric plexes and ignore the unknowns/gravimetrics and the reason is probably that the rest isn't worth the hassle.
I only probed the 'unknown' down because I was curious. I could have run a complex solo with no risk and would have ended with 150mil isk fixed reward for the run (bounties/overseertags) + the eventual loot just for myself without any hassle.

Back on track: Maybe I don't fully understand the mechanics, but why do complexes have to be static? Couldn't you just randomly generate them every time the server gets reset? Pop them in a different location? Randomize them a bit?

For the very same reason why arkonor (and veldspar for the matter) belts are static. Alliances should have resources to protect and fight over. Moreover, for peoples like you who want plexes randonmly generated CCP introduced exploration. So now we have the best of both worlds - static plexes to fight over for big alliance guys and hidden plexes to scan over for small guys. Putting the content out of the game is always bad, CCP done the very right thing by adding content and not removing it.

do you think it is fair that people in Delve, Querious and Period Basis are currently suffering the loss of billions per day cause of a technical glitch while people who are settled in other regions, that does not suffer any glitch, can make income of what they have fought for (thier regions ressources)?
Yes, No ? Why ? What should be done ?
I think its completly unfair knowing that people who fight evry day for those regions and people who spent a lot of time to conquer them are completly ignored by the, now usual, silence of CCP (Not a bit of official information was deliverd about the closing of 10/10 blood raider plex). Can we please AT LEAST know what the hell is going on with those plex ?
To fully enjoy a game they are paying a monthly fee for, i think, in the first place, people need to be confident on that games relative stability and mostly have a complete impression of fairness between the player. Even though i know CCP team are doing their best to fix the issue of blood raider plex, I do not have this impression of fairness right now.
As for those who demand that ALL complex should be closed because there is no complex in the drone region I think your simply not on topic. Drones region NEVER had complexes. May i ask why you decided to fight (if you had to fight at all) for those region that were complexeless if your goal is to do complex? People in drone regions DIDNT LOOSE ANYTHING compared to people that live in DELVE, QUERIOUS and PERIOD BASIS who LOST a big chunk of their alliance income.

You are entirely correct. Not having 10/10 plexes working while others do is unfair.
But we have to be consistent, don't we?
In the drone regions, asteroid respawn is bugged. Therefore we need to nerf the respawn on all asteroid belts across Eve until those can be fixed. Otherwise it would be grossly unfair, since I can guarantee you that mining across all the drone regions would bring in a hell of a lot more than a few bugged 10/10 plexes.

Originally by: Flamothron do you think it is fair .. i know CCP team are doing their best to fix the issue
Actually it is fair indeed.
We can take granted that in complex game like Eve there always will be pretty many non-critical bugs. Sometimes they affect you more than others, but most of the time it averages out, and hence, is fair.
If you think about a bit more, what you are suggesting is obviously impossible policy to hold on. Compare for example: * Oops, Kestrel has critical bug that will be fixed within week -> in the mean time no other ship type can allowed to work since their pilots would gain advantange over Kestrel focused pilots * Oops, some alliance got small edge by taking advantage of cheating -> every other alliance/pilot must be given competive edge over everyone else..
So assuming there is at least some competive selection on choosing who get to use such complexity, I'll assume your post was just meant to be variad of "Hey I need attention here" cry towards CCP.

Is it fair that there are no complexes of any sort that work or even exist in the 8 new regions added in Revelations?
Is it fair that the asteroid belts in the 8 new regions don't respawn correctly?
Is it fair that a small number have held onto a Tech 2 monopoly for so very long?
Was it fair that BoB was given BPOs by a developer?
Was it fair that BoB was allowed to keep 8 months worth of proceeds from those BPOs even after it was discovered?
EVE isn't about fairness. If it was you'd all be flying the same ships, all systems would be identical, and nothing would be better than anything else. It would be boring stale and die quickly if all things were fair and equal.
They should not endeavor to make all things equal and fair. They should not turn off the other 10/10 plexes, nor any other plexes, nor should they turn off the asteroid belts of other regions. Idea: Treaties Idea: Jump Rigs |

Close all static plexes except for tutorial. Sounds good to me. Gives developers ways to distribute complexes if an imbalance is discovered. Combats farming in general.
While you're at it, fix the hacking cans / item spawn areas at the COSMOS empire sites. Move the 100m+ isk items out of static areas and seed more of the required items for missions at random times. Ridiculous that someone can log in once an hour and grab all the items and ruin a COSMOS mission progression for everyone else attempting to experience the game.

There are no plexs in new regions. You knew that before you decide to live there... It's not the question here. The question is: Why the Bob's plexs and not the ra's plexs? The question is: why have CCP closed those plexs without any explains? Lets try to close all the ra/aaa plexs and see what happens thousands petitions incoming i guess

Why not require the ship logs that drop off randomly from pirates to be used as keys for the first stage static plexes if they cannot be removed, and possibly make them escalate instead of having thier phases all in one system increasing the and forcing player movement.
But that is if they arent going to remove them pernamently.
If removed pernamently they need to be reduxed and brought up to par with current exploration sites or better, make them more epic so to say with tiggers and the sort.

Yea, static complexes needs to go. Make them into "unknown" exploration complexes, and give each 0.0 region an equal chance to get them. This way, the best 10/10 complexes will be equally accessible from all regions.

Not quite true. If an alliance has more 'real estate' this means more opportunity to find exploration sites, and with progression, a higher probability that your progression sites lie within your own backyard (where it should be safe). Even with only exploration sites and no static complexes, there is still enough reason to want to expand territory currently (even when only looking at complexes and sites, there are many other reasons as well). Anyway, more than enough room in 0.0 right now (parts of it are practically deserted).
But there's more. With only exploration sites, there is a reason for raiding (small gangs) as well. Picture the high level progression from a site inside your alliance space into your neighbour's. Plenty of reason for action I would say.
There are currently only two problems with exploration/progression: 1. A perceived lack of profit for all the work (whether this is true or a result of laziness remains to be seen); and 2. An alternative with a guaranteed profit for less work in the static complexes.
I think CCP would do well to do for static complexes what they are planning to do for T2 BPOs: remove them altogether for the alternative. With T2 BPOs that alternative is invention, for static complexes this would be exploration/progression. It's kind of a double whammy, one against T2 BPO fatcats earning billions without any risk or effort, one against complex farming that is so much the cause of inflation and devaluation in EVE.
At the moment CCP is still balancing the profit-ratio of the exploration sites but overall it's a win-win situation really! Or do you really think CCP introduced these alternatives because they like to make it difficult on themselves?
It will cause a ****storm when CCP comes forward with this, but the good alliances will do what they'll always do: adapt. Bet you BoB's doing that right now.
Bartholomeus Crane wants to apologise in advance for this display of common sense on the forums. He'll try not to let it happen again --

If an alliance has more 'real estate' this means more opportunity to find exploration sites, and with progression, a higher probability that your progression sites lie within your own backyard (where it should be safe). Even with only exploration sites and no static complexes, there is still enough reason to want to expand territory currently (even when only looking at complexes and sites, there are many other reasons as well). Anyway, more than enough room in 0.0 right now (parts of it are practically deserted).
But there's more. With only exploration sites, there is a reason for raiding (small gangs) as well. Picture the high level progression from a site inside your alliance space into your neighbour's. Plenty of reason for action I would say.
There are currently only two problems with exploration/progression: 1. A perceived lack of profit for all the work (whether this is true or a result of laziness remains to be seen); and 2. An alternative with a guaranteed profit for less work in the static complexes.
I think CCP would do well to do for static complexes what they are planning to do for T2 BPOs: remove them altogether for the alternative. With T2 BPOs that alternative is invention, for static complexes this would be exploration/progression. It's kind of a double whammy, one against T2 BPO fatcats earning billions without any risk or effort, one against complex farming that is so much the cause of inflation and devaluation in EVE.
At the moment CCP is still balancing the profit-ratio of the exploration sites but overall it's a win-win situation really! Or do you really think CCP introduced these alternatives because they like to make it difficult on themselves?
It will cause a ****storm when CCP comes forward with this, but the good alliances will do what they'll always do: adapt. Bet you BoB's doing that right now.
Bartholomeus Crane wants to apologise in advance for this display of common sense on the forums. He'll try not to let it happen again
Good post. Also, exploration for high end static plexes would make the stronger alliances prove themselves all the more by cooperation from within, by working together to reap the rewards. Everyone within the alliance would have to trust each corp within it to come clean with revealing plex discovery. I know trust is a bad word in EVE, but it would promote cooperation and team effort no? Think about it.

Breaking news:
10/10 complexes are NOT the greatest moneymakers ingame. Actually there's something similar that makes pretty much 5-10x more isk on daily basis.

It's heartening that you care so much about the plexes in Delve but disheartening that you chose to hide behind an alt in order to call for a complete ban on plexes. Don't be too concerned about us, I'm sure we will struggle by until CCP manages to find time to fix them.
In the meantime, I hope every other alliance's plexes remain open unless they are bugged. Blanketwide bans for this sort of thing is needless and creates more work than is necessary.

Owned? How did we get "owned"? The plexes were bugged and needed fixed. I'm not sure if the eve community has had a memory wipe in the last 6 months but from the beginning of the game bob members have been some of the most vocal in getting bugs fixed asap. Every bug is found and sent in by petition, we don't announce every bug on the forums because the proper place to relay bugs to CCP is through petition.
It's unfortunate that it took a forum post to CCP in order for them to look at this matter, and I sincerely hope that doesn't set the precedence for getting things fixed, but don't confuse that with neglect on ours or fix's behalf because I can assure you it had been reported correctly by both us and fix members from the second it got bugged.

What a crock. I don't mean to get off track here, but Ill suggest this anyway: perhaps there wont be any unfair advantages with complexes (or anything really) when all the developer's in game characters are divided up in-between alliances. I bet "insignificant" little problems like broken spawns get fixed the same day they appear in BoB space, the developers run the alliance after all. This whole thing just stinks big time.

Maybe some of the complexes have been closed because too many people are now aware of , and questioning why , a while back the region with the highest concentration of complexes had their number of plexes boosted by over 50% while a lot of other regions got little or no boost.
go on guess whose region got the boost .

Originally by: Flamothron Weel here it is. Im asking to Close ALL of EVE 10/10 plex while the Blood Raiders plex are getting fixed. It is simply du unfair that alliances that does not occupy blood raider space are able to do tens of billions per day while the ones that occupy Blood raider space aint doing a $h!t because thier 10/10 plex are bugged.
Knowing that a 10/10 plex can generate more than 2 Bill/day isk if farmed correctly its not acceptable and mostly not FAIR that ONLY the DELVE, QUERIOUS and PERIOD BASIS 10/10 complex are getting closed. This certainly affects the fairness of the game and also the gamming experiance of an alliance members if the alliance in question can't generate ISK the way ALL alliance does (doing 10/10 plex)
So due to a clear unfairness i ask for the closure of all EVE 10/10 plex until the blood raiders 10/10 plex are fixed.

A far better idea is just getting rid of high level static complexes all together.
They are campable, farmable, exploitable, time zone dependent sources of stupid amounts of isk.
There is no need for them in the game right now.
Use exploration for them.

Supported. A Move to exploration sites might put an end to rewarding people for being in the motherland... GMT players by far have a better chance for success in this game if they choose to farm plexes; the life blood of most alliances.
I'm not sure if randomizing key drops over different time zones and remove the dependancy on server uptime scrambles to get in first. In any case, good thread.
I imagine RA will be in here to thwart any effort to protest their cheating shortly being that they alt run almost every southern complex uncontested....

Well, I may not be a big fan of BoB or any of their pets, but in this instance, Dark Shikari came out in the open about the bugged complexes when he felt the petition system didn't work (fast enough). FIX seemed to support that, even though they're in a war and have something to lose. To me that puts DS in the good book, along with FIX. BoB, to my knowledge, accepted and supported what happened as well. I think that's positive as well, although I doubt they care much about what I think about it. In comparison I have heard lots and lots of rumours of farming by the opposite camp of farming bugged complexes; although I admit I have not first hand knowledge. So much about politics.
In general however, I believe that the reliance of alliances, or corps for that matter, on complexes, is not the way to go. I've already covered the fact that static complexes, and especially farming static complexes, leads to inflation and lazy (and boring) gameplay, so I'll not go into that again. Another thing I was thinking about is that static complexes also lead to a general lock-down of 0.0 as well.
Once a corps or alliance has 'conquered' a profitable static complex, it provides them with an surplus of disposable income (in practice, almost unlimited, and for little effort or risk). This can then be used to consolidate that position; effectively locking down that area of space. In part this is a good thing. Corps that are able to conquer parts of space should be reasonably save within it, especially when they're able to hold it for a certain time. On the other hand, this safety shouldn't be a given. New contenders should be able to 'fight themselves in', if they are good enough.
Balance, as always is key, and as I see it, static complexes, with their easy money, in the quantities that the high level ones provide, and the ease at which they can be farmed, upset this balance. To me it seems that a well run corps/alliance that captures a number of these complexes and can maintain possession of them for a certain amount of time, is very difficult to conquer. Obviously I think this is wrong.
The result of this is that new, small but tightly run, corporations/alliances can not, nay, can never compete, with older corporations. Not because the old corporations are better run, but simply because they've been able to farm complexes for longer. I recognise that this is not the whole story, but I suspect it's an important part of it, and I also happen to believe that this is wrong. I happen to believe that all corporations/alliances should work to maintain their standing and defenses, irrespective of their age or number of farmable complexes.
Replacing static complexes with exploration/progression will still benefit corporations with lots of real estate, but, I believe, will also allow for newer contenders to challenge that (think exploration/progression raiding in enemy space for example). If this is the case, this would mean that more players would be able to compete in 0.0, bringing more people out of empire space and into low sec (even if only in transition) and 0.0 space. Which means less available space for those living there (they'd have to make room for the newer corps) but also a more 'target rich environment', which after all, can't be all that bad.
Really, I can't see a single reason why, after some balancing by CCP, static complexes should not be replaced by exploration/progression.
Just my point of view ofcourse ... not in the least influenced by the fact that I had a pint or more ... --

The plexes were bugged out of their brains. Dont give me that crap about losing 2bil a day income when ive seen them being farmed 23/7.
Respawn timers dont just "get bugged" someone changes them.
FIX Ran their better plexes and the bob ones near their turf constantly... for hours and hours on end... until coalition pilots started running them because theres nothing else to do in the area at the moment.
As soon as it became clear that we would profit more from these than FIX/BoB could... dark shikari pulled the plug... with a public Eve-O *****... one that the devs couldnt ignore like they do the petition pile.
Dark Shikari may well be innocent but there were a ****load of people within his alliance who knew. They were farming the crap out of it.
The timing of his little revelation seems kinda wrong to me.
So reopen the damn things. The coalition will farm them and then you'll be pretty ****ed about that too.
oh... one more thing... we fought for your plexes... we took them off you... you had them locked. hurray.

Oh yes, it is RA that is cheating. I absolutely remember BOB in here protesting these broken complexes months and months ago when they were added ONLY to their space. You know, space that was 100% 0.0 until somehow CCP decided to make it 50% NPC station space and still leave it better than all other pure conquerable space.
Oh wait, haha, BOB didn't mention them broken (through Dark Shikari) until they had lost control of all their complexes.

What world do you life in? In the one everyone else lives in, Band of Brothers still controls Delve.
P.S. As far as I know, the bug was introduced in Revelations 1.4.1, not "months ago". And Red Alliance is still farming 800 billion ISK a week off complexes and selling it for real life cash, but apparently since BoB are really bad people, nobody cares.

English mother f'er, do you speak it? Where did I say BoB didn't control Delve? The facts are simple. Delve was 100% conquerable space UNTIL CCP out of nowhere 'decided' to make it 50% NPC space aka BoB no longer has to keep POS for sov in place. The Blood Raider complexes were added with Kali, not 1.4.1 as far as you know is very short. Do you expect us to believe that an alliance that was receiving T2 BPOs and significant changes making it easier to control their space wasn't aware of the broken complexes added to their space for months?
Face it Shikari, you are what you are, a mouthpiece. You (aka BoB) have lost control of those complexes, now is the time to bring them up. DBP lacks the balls to do it, so you have been elected.

Now, let's remember that it was DS who made the post that got them closed in the first place, so he can hardly be called a whining carebear. He acted with the utmost of honour in the matter. That, and the fact BoB never lost control of their plexes, and also that although the plexes were added with revelations, the spawn timer bug was not added until 1.4.1.
It strikes me that the only people whining about bobbits and their plexes are lowly coalition peons who will never see their masters' complexes, as they obviously dont have an actual clue how these things work, as all they seem to whine about is bobdevhaxspl0its.
Originally by: umop 3pisdn ... we fought for your plexes...
Quite accurate, the fight was purely for complexes. Not one person with any sense could honestly say that the fight was in any way about cleaning eve of cheaters, or scourging eve of people who want to conquer the galaxy. RA made this clear by laying their alt corps in every plex in what was LV n' co's space, then stopping the advance when they had what they wanted; the Angel complexes that made them trillions of isk. So if BoB are guilty of exploiting their complexes and keeping the bugs quiet, then neither side is innocent.
The exploitation of plexes has happened before and will happen again. Locking of plexes as they become bugged is not an option. The only viable option is removal of static plexes, then making the same plexes spawn once or twice a day in a random location in the region that is only possible to find through exploration. This removes the ability of alliances like RA and BoB to just place an alt corp with a mothership in a 10/10 system and farm it day and night like clockwork. This makes the complexes what they were meant to be; regional resources. It gives the complexes to the people (see: pets) who actually hold the region and fight for it daily, rather than whichever alliance has their alt corp in place.

Wow, people really want your blood DS. One guy flames you for still being in fix when you supposedly ruined your own alliance's plexes, and another guy's flaming you because you ruined other people's plexes. I don't even know who controls the plexes now and i'm convinced this is a bad joke. That'll show you to report things that are exploitable.
Despite the stupid, i'm curious why they'd add NPC stations to delve when they know it's a touchy area.

Honestly, the politics side of it doesn't matter to me all that much. To me what happened seemed on the level, and that's all I can say.
The point is, should be, and I think everyone agrees to this, is that static complexes, bugs or not, invite farming, and very lucratively so. All this for no effort and hardly any risk. Obviously a situation like this is going to be exploited. Obviously this is going on right now (by both, nay, by all sides).
Equally obviously this has to change before it grows out of hand (if this hasn't happened already).
Now, CCP, in their infinite wisdom (ahum), has implemented a possible alternative, which they are balancing out right now. Why not switch to that? Like now? --

Is it fair that there are no complexes of any sort that work or even exist in the 8 new regions added in Revelations?

Is it fair that a small number have held onto a Tech 2 monopoly for so very long?
Was it fair that BoB was given BPOs by a developer?
Was it fair that BoB was allowed to keep 8 months worth of proceeds from those BPOs even after it was discovered?
EVE isn't about fairness. If it was you'd all be flying the same ships, all systems would be identical, and nothing would be better than anything else. It would be boring stale and die quickly if all things were fair and equal.
They should not endeavor to make all things equal and fair. They should not turn off the other 10/10 plexes, nor any other plexes, nor should they turn off the asteroid belts of other regions.
There are no plexs in new regions. You knew that before you decide to live there... It's not the question here. The question is: Why the Bob's plexs and not the ra's plexs? The question is: why have CCP closed those plexs without any explains? Lets try to close all the ra/aaa plexs and see what happens thousands petitions incoming i guess
Though I have visited and toured some of the new regions I am not a resident of the new regions. My general lack of standings with anyone prevents me living there, and even makes my little visits dangerous.
As to why they were closed has nothing to do with RA or any of the forces allied against BoB. It was the BoB ally, FIX, through DS that revealed the bugged nature of the new 10/10 complexes with a forum post to General Discussions. It was shortly after his thread that the plexes were closed.
