There is an emerging elite class of players rising out of Eve Online leaving the average joes in the dust. Some players are benefiting from the many and at their expense. The competitive Eve player LOVES this as it rewards the strong and crushes the weak. The problem is its the average joes that are paying the electric bills on the Ramsan too.
Paying merely entities you to an account, nothing more. Accept this or GTFO.

Normally MMORPG developers thwart the eating of their young by granting them consensual / non consensual pvp systems and areas. Eve empire space (as it was conveyed to me) was supposed to be that area. I thought that until I was "stupid enough" to transport my hangar through hi sec space and lost 2 years of my game life about 4 months ago so someone else could make use of a crappy game feature and get 15 minutes of fun.
The Fail in this paragraph has been highlighted.

-Being a person who likes PvP or a person who likes to gank defenseless players may make you think your epeen is bigger, but the reality of it is this game could still be fun if there were limited opportunities for others to enjoy the game without being someoneÆs cannon fodder. There is no real world definition out there that says you're a better person or player because you choose to pvp....get that out of your head. Also please understand IÆm not asking for WoW here. There has to be a medium.
A players motives for doing anything in game are irrelevant to whether it should be possible to do it or not.
Also, you have to choose to be cannon fodder in this game.

Fact:
As older characters get older and make more money and get better ships the market demands and the game content demands inflate with it. The new content expansions have done what content expansions do to all games: they trivialize the content that comes before it. This is bad for new characters in Eve because its boring to do mundane things to get to the good stuff. YouÆre not building expansion content with the newer players in mind û you always stack new stuff on top which benefits mainly people who have been through the older stuff. The effect is starting to take hold and the disparity is evident.
Fact: Many older players fly basic cheap stuff because it is better suited to the job.
Fact: That you have to work up through the basic stuff means it always has a place and is never completely replaced by new content, resulting in a more diverse world.

How does it help immersion and RP and all that to sit at a gate and 1 shot defenseless ships? Why would it be so terrible to have areas where competitive or even preying pvp is possible and other areas where its not? WTF is empire for? Remove Concord then and be done with it or stop this stupid 1 shot killing. Even UO had guards FFs.
Empire is as good as perfect safety if you use it right.

The Darwinism aspects of this game can be great and I thought they were but if you take it too far you start cutting into my game time which is downtime after a hard days work. I want to love this game but there is so much BS I donÆt know. I donÆt see how its too much to ask that the risk (or time) vs reward be balanced 50/50 and not in the favor of the halfwit(s) sitting at the gate waiting for defenseless ships to roll through?
Failure due to insulting people who play the game a way you don't like. Seems to me those 'halfwits' have a better idea of 'downtime after a hard days work' than you do. It isn't supposed to be balanced, if you fly your ship into another ships sights you will die. Life is not fair. Eve is not fair. gb2/WoW etc.

I too have left eve, both of my accounts. I tire of the enjoyment of others being at my expense. Yes its a space game with combat, but non consensual pvp combat is predatory. If you create a non pvp server, or require pvp to be consensual I will return. I know my post like many before it will be flamed, but I wish the developers would realize the number of players that have left because of this problem.
This is exactly why posts like this get flamed.
The developers realize how many people leave over this.
The developers realize they would make much more money from WoW in space.
The developers do not want WoW in space.
The players who like Eve as it is do not want WoW in space.
'This' is not a problem. It is the design. If you don't like it, this is not the game you are looking for.

This thread is going in strange directions.

Never has so much been given to so few by so many.
Sounds familiar.
