DubanFP Caldari Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:02:00 - [1] Edited by: DubanFP on 27/08/2007 02:02:35 CCP is a game that doesn't hold you're hand. Concord only provides consequences not absolute protection. If you were supposed to be 100% safe you wouldn't be able to gank people in high-sec in the first place. EVE online 1) Concord provides consequences not absolute protection 2) If you screw up you actually pay for it. If you die 99.9999% chances are you did something to cause it. Fly with a poorly tanked ship with over 200 mil in loot? Go into low-sec without proper knowledge on what you're doing? Not pay attention to the rules & take from someone else's can? Join a strange gang? It's YOUR fault, not ours, not the pirates, not CCPs 3) The game does not hold your hand. You're responsible for your own losses, and assessing risk vs reward. Keep all your eggs in 1 basket? Ok, but you're accepting the risk, not us or the pirates. 4) You can not just kill a few NPCs and feel sucessful. If you manage to kill, construct, or raid your way to the top it actually means something. You actually have to be "Better" then other REAL people to do "Better". The day one of the above changes is the day I quit This is to prove once and for all that CCP would lose far more players from ruining the game then giving into the whiners.

Feel free to foward any "I got ganked, change game to suit my own needs rather then me adapting to your game" whines to this thread so they're no longer able to say the game would be better otherwise. ___________ Xanstin> Your sig is full of really, really crap self quotes.

MotherMoon Huang Yinglong Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:07:00 - [5] "1) Concord provides consequences not absolute protection" unless the empires get ****ed at concord for not protecting people in time, so they buff them up in0.9 and 1.0 but don't go jumping the boat if this happens, they will NEVER completely protect and keep someone safe, they might just make them use shield transporters or some nonsense in 1.0 space some day or so forth. small ships would still be targets. and as long as there are no lvl 3 or 4 mission in 1.0 space it would work out fine. ----------------------------------- I'm working my way through college target CCP need...more room...

If you manage to kill, construct, or raid your way to the top it actually means something. You actually have to be "Better" then other REAL people to do "Better". Translation: You can just kill a few NPCs and make isk and be richer than me, and I will get ****ed off. If you come and pvp (solo pls) me (and my gang) will gank you and rob you blind. CCP loves me and not you... I just don't know why they never call This thread is pretty useless, the game is pretty clear that nobody undocked is 100% safe, everyone who plays the game for a few days knows it, and to me it just seems like another rabid pvp'er fishing for self validation. Also, there is nothing to /sign onto, you make a statement which is pratically out of the tutorials... This thread is just gonna fade into obscurity, like dozens like it have done before. Please don't make another one like it, be kind on my eyes

No. The forums, as in any game, represent a small portion of the gaming populous. A /sign or /unsigned post is far from indisputable.

JonnyWarhawk Oberon Incorporated Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:39:00 - [13] If the game didn't have the death penalties it has and the quality PvP and 0 space that it has it would be quite bad really. I'd quit too. /signed
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:42:00 - [14] /unsigned You are painting with too broad a brush here. Yes there are those who seem to want Hello Kitty Online in space. Nevertheless there are many legitimate gripes on mechanics that are patently bogus. Here are a few for example: - Remote Repping NPC rats to kill a pilot in hi sec while that pilot has NO ability to engage you (maybe they fixed that one...not sure). - Low Sec Motherships with Officer Smartbombs that cover the gate (due to the ship's size and Officer mod extra range). SBs are specifically not supposed to be able to do that but they do in this case. The Mothership meanwhile is unstoppable. No way to effectively attack it without it getting away. - Some guy can flips your ore into a new can using a shuttle. His ALT/mate then at leisure takes all with a hauler. You get to attack the shuttle. - Insurance payouts to suicide gankers. The only argument I have seen for keeping this is to not penalize someone who makes a mistake in Empire and loses their ship (despite there being a warning to stop you from making that mistake). Doubtless there are other examples. And you may agree or disagree with any or all of the above items. The point is they are legitimate complaints. They are not suggesting a freebie. Ore thieves can still do their thing, suicide gankers could still do their thing, gate camping Motherships could still do their thing and so on. But it would balance out a bit of the risk versus reward. Bottom line is you cannot lump all complaints into, "Shutup carebear! Adapt or die!"
DubanFP Caldari Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:52:00 - [15] Edited by: DubanFP on 27/08/2007 02:56:05 Originally by: Imperator Jora'h /unsigned - Remote Repping NPC rats to kill a pilot in hi sec while that pilot has NO ability to engage you (maybe they fixed that one...not sure). I'm pretty sure they did fix this one - Low Sec Motherships with Officer Smartbombs that cover the gate (due to the ship's size and Officer mod extra range). SBs are specifically not supposed to be able to do that but they do in this case. The Mothership meanwhile is unstoppable. No way to effectively attack it without it getting away. There are room for changes "like the difficulty of killing a MS", but you should still be able to avoid these if you know what you're doing. - Some guy can flips your ore into a new can using a shuttle. His ALT/mate then at leisure takes all with a hauler. You get to attack the shuttle. Jetcan mining was never intended. It's a creative use that's come into it's own. But essentually when you drop a can you're throwing the stuff out, of course people can take it. Hell there was a time when you didn't even have agression timers. The change was more intended for cans from NPC kills then jetcan mining anyways. Really jetcan mining is the walkaround here not the thieves. - Insurance payouts to suicide gankers. The only argument I have seen for keeping this is to not penalize someone who makes a mistake in Empire and loses their ship (despite there being a warning to stop you from making that mistake). This actually isn't nearly as profitable as people make it sound really. Most of the good stuff goes PoP. Anyways don't go around with 200mil or more stuff afk in an untanked ship and it's not a problem. This one above all your other thing IS YOUR FAULT if it happens. There are legitiment complaints & need for balancing here and there. But if the thread can even remotely fall into one of the 4 categories in the main thread it's their fault more then anything else. Anyways, at least thank you for expressing your opinion in a flame-free way. Even if i disagree with them. ___________ Xanstin> Your sig is full of really, really crap self quotes.

Captian Internet	Posted - 2007.08.27 02:57:00 - [16] If that is true how come npc corp characters can hide from direct pvp but still influence market pvp?

Oh and thank you CCP not being afraid of making a game where sucess actually means something. Quite frankly the 99.8% of the active playerbase who never visit the forums have no issues with Eve or settle them with a petition.. They go about thier business having a grand ole time in this wonderful place CCP made for us.. Its just the 0.2% of "The Few and The Proud" forum warriors who make a fuss here about whatever they feel arsed about by starting a thread to get their daily attention *** quotient.. /signed /unsigned whatever.. It doesn't really matter cause nothing thats not a sticky by a CCP employee on the forums doesn't have any value past the fleeting entertainment we get from reading them.. Except of course for the vanishingly rare insightful thread that appears every few months or so.. And even those usually get trolled to death in short order by the metagamers..

Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.08.27 03:26:00 - [19] Originally by: DubanFP Anyways, at least thank you for expressing your opinion in a flame-free way. Even if i disagree with them. FYI I'd love to respond to your answers to my post but this is not the thread to get into all that (besides they have mostly been done to death anyway). I just think people need to evaluate threads a bit better. There was one in Ships and Modules where the OP was clearly being sarcastic and many totally missed it and flamed away as if the person was being serious. Some complaints are just whines. Some threads are clearly self-serving. Some are honest attempts at a change but poorly thought out (and some few are shockingly stupid even though you can tell the person somehow really thought it was a great idea). Some are honest attempts and well thought out. Even if you disagree with whatever the point is I think it serves EVE better if people draw these distinctions a bit better.

Say DubanFP, where did you get that 4.7 sec status from? Judging by your killboard activity (pve fit raven losses especially) I would say you are just a carebear poser.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.08.27 05:07:00 - [23] Can't really sign it, since it's not really taking everything into consideration and taking a bit of a one sided approach. I'll say this though, EVE can be Hello Kitty Online if you want it to be. You never have to fight, if you don't want to, and use your brain in going about your business. So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.

K'reemy G'udness Delicious	Posted - 2007.08.27 05:23:00 - [26] /unsigned I agree with you in spirit, but I think there are flaws in the mechanics that need to be addressed as well.

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.08.27 05:28:00 - [27] I'd like to see some changes to how gangs work frankly. Being in an alliance gang and still not being able to intervene in conflict across corporations is pretty daft. No I don't care for a second about some noob being suckered into a gang, that happens once. Also Known As

If you manage to kill, construct, or raid your way to the top it actually means something. You actually have to be "Better" then other REAL people to do "Better". Who are you to say what people can or cannot do to feel successful? What some people do might not feel important to you, but it doesn't mean that they haven't achieved anything, or that the things they do are without a meaning. Sorry (not really), but I cannot sign this.
