privateers shook the game up and probably created a lot more long term players and experienced PVPers its interesting that the great war sucked these PVPers up and made empire a lot quiter
A lot of ex privs corps have now gone back to targetting mid sized alliances and larger 100-300 man non alliance corps. As well as the usual alt corp deccing empire industrial small corps.
I think CCP are planning with factional warfare in rev 3 will fil lthe empire targets everywhere PVP desires but its a while off yet

Originally by: Le Skunk However - the general playerbase did NOT deem it a neccesary goal. A small percentage of 'forum warriors' did - and took it outside of the game - whined - and got us nerfed - the first time CCP specifically aimed their wrath at an allaince (alliance P for those with short memorys)
Again... time to point out that forum whining did not lead to the wardec nerf - that's just an excuse you use, perhaps because you can't accept that PVT were at fault. The consequences of their actions in wardeccing so many in Empire should have been obvious to you.
If you really cared about Empire PVP, you would have taken it easy on the wardecs and not forced CCP into the nerf. Instead you were greedy, caring only about yourselves. PVT were directly responsible for the wardec nerf, noone else.
Please, don't believe that CCP changes the game because a few people complain about it on the forums. They change the game because it's broken. If people happen to be whining abotu it then meh.

bringing back privateers is simple for them
They still only have to do it the same way as before.
Heres how it it goes Convo Allience Leader "How would you like to make 50 million per week to keep your empire people on their toes. All you gotta do is make ware mutual"
Or even better privateers offer 50 million per week to major alliances and corps who war dec them _________________________________________________________ My Second EvE Video Club Seals Not Sandwichs

Privateers was NOT about defending the little corps. Privateers was NOT about even/fair PVP. Privateers unbalanced the High Sec > Low Sec > 0.0 security system.
6 pages in this thread and you still fail at disproving the above points. The least you could do is admit what you were about. But of course, admitting to this will not bring much sympathy to your cause. If this game doesn't allow you to have fun any more, then perhaps it's time leave? Think about it, the only way you enjoy the game is by exploiting holes and breaks within the game. What does that tell you? This game is not meant for you. Stop blaming carebears for your misery and find a game where you can enjoy what you do without being nerfed.
Failed? How this for failure:
You had 24 hours warning when you were wardeced to drop your alliance and become invunerable .. this you chose not to do
So it was up to your Alliance to protect you.... this they did not to
So it was up your corp to protect you..... this they did not do
So it was left to you to take some simple measures to protect yourself... this you did not do.
You got your raven blown up whilst mission horing in motsu.
Since then youve taken ever opportunity to post about us. Youve ignored ALL my specific counters to you points. You have taken a totally biased and judgemental standpoint like none other.
Ill reply to your points one more time.
Quote:
1)Privateers was NOT about defending the little corps. 2)Privateers was NOT about even/fair PVP. 3)Privateers unbalanced the High Sec > Low Sec > 0.0 security system.
1) The privateer alliance was the cheapest option for a corp under attacking needing assistance. We made NO profit from this. Many small corps used us. We would often go many jumps to assist them. I personally went 30 jumps in my domi to assist one small corp. When CCP nerfed us - many of the small corps we were assisting were left in the lurch - and had to disand their corps with no one to help defend them.
2) For some Privateers WAS about even/fair PvP of a type you rarely get in lowsec/0.0 (bubbles capships etc). We wardecced the biggest PvP in the alliance in the game. We regually engaged forces bigger then or equal to our own. We had some great fights with various Alliances willing to defend themselves - and most had a great attitude. Ive posted a fair battle report from an 'enemy alliance' which you ignore. We were camped into station in vast numbers, we were ganked on gates 30v1. Many of my collegues lost a lot of isk - and where in the alliance for the fun of even fights/hit an run against superior forces.
For others it was about loot. For others it involved a new roleplay aspect not offered elsewhere in game. For some it was for cheap kills. For some it was a poke in the eye for the big allianes.
However - If a WT hauler ran past a any camp - it was killed and its loot taken. This is in common with Every Alliance in the game. So sue us.
3) The system is totally unbalanced as it is. People like you can sit in Motsu in your guicci raven running the same mission over and over and over and over and make more isk then the guy out in 0.0.
You have absolutly no risk - and all the reward.
Im glad that, for a short time, some risk was brought into your isk hoarding - and you got popped.

Im doing people the common curtesy of responding to points THEY brought up - and yes i do find it boring.
In your 'pub' - Im the bore happily reading the newspaper and having a pint when someone runs in and screams "YOUR A MURDERING SCAM ARTIST" in my face. Of course im goging to respond.
And in this pub you are the red faced short assed alt in the corner who continuly bemoans how booooorring this pub is yet still comes down every friday.Seriously - your continued haunting of any thread with Privateer in the title with two line pithy comments with no substance demeans you.

This has been said previously but, everyone who's said 'come to 0.0 were real men fight' yada yada yada....Ok, done that, I've only lost about 3ships, 2 to absolute stupidity on my part. It's been what 2/3 months since privs was nerfed, 3ships in about 3months. I've gatecamped and scored some truly easy kills using a bubble.
I'm not saying 0.0 isn't fun, it is, and my Alliance goes a great way to providing that fun, they're awesome to play with.
Read the kills Privs got in the end, you say half were non combat ships? That leaves 23,000ish that were combat ships. The assumption we ganked defensless noobs simply isn't true. If you went to Jita, you risked lag and about 200war targets in system at any one time. Pretty much every system you jumped into there were targets wanting to shoot you. It wasn't easy by any means.
Props to people who fought back, it was fun.
People who make sweeping statements such as 'you only ganked noobs', please, do shutup. Read the killboards. I'm sure the 2 dreads and 9 carriers were undocking out of jita 4-4 and go ganked on black screen...
If you were part of the privs and criticise us, fair play, you'll have seen both sides of the argument, but I don't see many of those people.
Fact is well over a thousand pilots had fun in the privs, I'm sure many more had fun fighting us in other Alliances. It's a shame CCP decided to nerf such a large group of players.

See my post above where I explicitly point you to a thread BEFORE the war dec on my alliance. Lied much lately?
Quote: Ill reply to your points one more time.
1) The privateer alliance was the cheapest option for a corp under attacking needing assistance. We made NO profit from this. Many small corps used us. We would often go many jumps to assist them. I personally went 30 jumps in my domi to assist one small corp. When CCP nerfed us - many of the small corps we were assisting were left in the lurch - and had to disand their corps with no one to help defend them.
The Privateer Alliance was also the cheapest option to the 'big meanie alliances', as you call them. You indiscriminately war dec'd any corporation and alliance, whether you got paid or not. What exactly is your point?
Quote: 2) For some Privateers WAS about even/fair PvP of a type you rarely get in lowsec/0.0 (bubbles capships etc). We wardecced the biggest PvP in the alliance in the game.

So then why do you use the excuse that the PA was about bringing back small PVP action when in fact, as per your own words, it was about bring a little bit of everything back, including ganks, blobs, and whatever crap was already being done in low sec and 0.0? You pick the little good things that your alliance may have done and ignore the **** storm it brought in as well. "Sure we committed genocide, but I'm sure we must have killed some bad guys in the process. That makes us good, don't it? ".
Quote: 3) The system is totally unbalanced as it is. People like you can sit in Motsu in your guicci raven running the same mission over and over and over and over and make more isk then the guy out in 0.0.

I can just feel your hate on this one. Does it bother you that I choose to build my assets while you choose to destroy them? Stop hating on the mission runners and run missions yourself, if you think we're so well off.
Here's some word of advice for you, Le Skunk:
Try not to spend too much time building up hate. Learn to let go and just enjoy life a little. Don't let this game dictate your happiness. It's not worth it in the long run.
Cheers,

Well - on this point (seeing as you are labouring it)- lets look at it in detail
You got your raven blown up whilst mission horing in motsu
This as we both agree, is fact. (so no lie there from me)
Since then youve taken ever opportunity to post about us.
In every thread with a Privateer theme since you were blown up you have taken the opportunity to have a dig at us. Multiple posts in multiple threads. You HAVE taken every opportunity to post about us. (so no lie there either)
End Result: No lie from me

I seriously dont hate you or anyone in this game. Its a game after all. Probably more correct would be to say I gained some small satisfaction from your ship loss akin to a football team scoring a goal.

They didnt change anything except for the lag, dont make them less negligible than they were.
The very concept of this alliance made me puke. Looking at their vids only confirmed they were poor players with little to no sportsmanship. And eve is already crowded by that kind of people.
Im glad they got booted. Exploiting features such as empire war dec to openly p*** off people is just childish and not needed. Go merc if constant Empire war is what you want.

Edited by: Ares Lightfeather on 27/06/2007 15:58:53 Bah, this discussion is completely pointless.
Privateers will not be back. Wardecking nearly every alliance / corp in sight offset the risk balance of high / low / no sec. Therefore, it was doomed from the start.
Furthermore, I'd like to see the "Combat" ships you privateers claim to have killed. I'd like to see how many were fitted for missions, how many were killed in ganks (5 vs 1 or worse) or were piloted by people whose skills weren't good enough to pilot them in PvP situation (in other words, noobs).
Which means, basically, that the nerf to the wardecs were obvious from the start. Abuse on the number of wardecs attracted more and more of the stupid kind of privateers that people came to loath (the kind of people for which fun = blowing defenseless people) that gradually made high sec look like no-sec for more and more people as time went by. That also means you forced your way of playing a game on others. That means nerfing, and most people are grateful to CCP because of that.
Privateers were fun ? because it avoided 0.0 like fights, blobs and the like ? it was only a matter of time. The privateer fights tactics would have matched the ones in 0.0 space, given enough time. The only thing that would have been needed was an opposing alliance of similar size using the same oversight in the wardecs system, and that would have made all of Eve 0.0 space.
Given those arguments there is no way that privateers are going back into eve, ever.
Edit : grammar.

Edit : grammar.
They destroyed a PvP-fitted drake of mine in a (IIRC 5 vs 8) small gang fight. That's the only ship of mine they ever got, and I saw plenty of privateers up in lonetrek when I was flying haulers about. They never got me in those haulers because I flew in hi-sec (no bubbles no dictors - easy mode!) the same way as I flew in 0.0: With a cloak. With a scout, sometimes. With attention to local. With a ship fitted for travel.
Result: no "non-consensual combat" with privateers the whole time they were war-deccing us. Result: taking loot to sell in empire and bring stuff back: somewhat interesting and exciting instead of being a deadly dull, utterly tedious chore.
Bring back privateers!

To the OP, your wish is granted... See...
Quote: Slave 775 Ministry of Punishment Privateer Alliance
The Privateer Alliance lives...
The second point is not as easy... but just as obvious...
The change to the War Dec System was not a "Nerf the Privateers" but a "Fix a broken System" change... if it was a "Nerf the Privateers" then the "Warwithallofyou Alliance" could war dec everyone just like the Privateers did...
What the privateers did was make it Very Obvious that the war dec system was broken... just like the Freighter Ganking (using many copies of one single type of BS) showed a broken system with Concord... once the problem was brought to light, CCP fixed it. It was not the ganking of a freighter that was the problem, but that Concord failed to deal with Drones.
It's just too bad that it required such a display to show CCP that there is a problem.

I was in my home system, watching you guys smacktalk in local to try to get a friendly local corp to respond, so you could use that as an excuse to war-dec them. They didn't, you war-dec'd them anyway, and used smacktalk as your excuse... anyway. 
"Sticking up for the little man", my arse. "We only war-dec small corps when we're hired to", my arse. These are tired lies no one ever believed in the first place. I can't believe you guys are still bothering to repeat them tbh.

There is a whole new world for you in Low-Sec, Privateers. I know most of you dread going there as 95% of the people there are fitted for PvP and will put up a real fight, but you have to grow up sometime.
All you guys wanted to do was pad your kill-boards. Very few people in Privateers were actually looking for any real fights.
Also, to all the Privateers crying, there was no need for you to break up, only lower the number of War-decs to a reasonable number. You could still keep war-decs on most of the biggest alliances. The top 5 would still be pretty easy to keep wardecs on.
In short, cry more, move to low sec, plenty of free pvp there.

Three war decs should be plenty to people with legitimate greivenciences. If you're mad enough at more than three entire Corps or Alliances to wanna war dec them, then I suggest that you're the source of the problem!
And if Privateers wants any real fights, come to 0.0 and learn what its like to fight like real men, as opposed to hunting stray kittens and puppies in an Animal Shelter with a machine gun.

It was not the ganking of a freighter that was the problem, but that Concord failed to deal with Drones.
It's just too bad that it required such a display to show CCP that there is a problem.
That's kinda like saying LV lives, i've seen a couple of pilots recently in LV recently....they're still a dead alliance though... And if it wasn't a privateer nerf, why did they so conviently in thier example of the new decs call the Alliance... 'Alliance P' coincidence?

Originally by: Jane Spondogolo The best part of the privateers was listening to boring carebears crying and wailing in local when PVT camped them into station.
Bring back privateers, DOWN with carebears.
No, the best part of the Privateers was listening to them whine on the forums about other players stealing their loot and salvage (including Le Skunk) 
Carebears indeed.....
I remember that thread.
Here's the Pot (Le Skunk's adored Privateers) calling the Kettle black:

They complain about the injustice and abuse of game mechanics. If this wasn't irony at its best I don't know what is.
This was as priceless as Lofty and Ginger Magician complaining about 'getting ganked'. Those were good laughing threads as well.
