You may have noticed the new blood raider sotiyo being destroyed by a fleet of speed tanking t1 frigates earlier today. Now lets not bash on CCP for not seeing this coming, it's just counterproductive. what are your ideas for making the br sotiyo less exploitable? The most likely contenders seem to be either point defense and/or a web and scram fitted to the station. blood raiders are known for web bonuses afterall. |

That's a popular saying to be sure, but consider if we made the sotiyo have infinite hp and concord levels of response fleets. tada, a simple thought experiment shows it to be a fallacy. |

I think that it won't do to write off every possible pve event in eve as 100% farmable, unless you can give me the logical proof. This is the first time we've had an event that purposefully scales with the people doing it, so why not try and see if there is a way to make it better? |

Actually, I think there is. Here's another thought experiment:
Lets say ccp plugs the gap of an exploit, like speedtanking while applying damage, or using waves of fighters from afar, or dogpiling the thing with long range titans, etc. Every time the players find an exploit, ccp plugs it in such a way that makes it a challenging fight again.
If we assume that players always find an exploit, then by the above logic there are an infinite number or ways to exploit the sotiyo. This is impossible, ergo the statement that "players can always find an exploit" is false.
The first thought that comes to mind is in the first part, that assumes ccp can always find a plug for an exploit, or always find one that doesn't make the sotiyo go from "challenge" to "almost unbeatable." The way to prove me wrong in this aspect would be to come up with a sound scenario that is impossible to fix without breaching the above conditions. |
