Not only does this make sense in an immersive way but it also places high sec incursion income in line with that of low sec (and null to a lesser extent) but it also provides opt-in PvP for high sec dwellers in lieu of the Dec shield mechanics that nullify a lot of high sec PVP opportunity.
For those that don't like the inherent risk of PvP there are still decent income sources available in safer empire.
Edit: This provides a suitable risk versus reward considering L4 missions earn a conservative 20m per hour but incursions give a conservative 60-70m per hour.
Thinly veiled attempt to bypass CONCORD. -1. Incursions need to be fixed, I agree, but this isn't a good way to do it. Oh and um...WoW...thataway >. You're basically just trying to create Wintergrasp in Eve. For shame Spank, I've always held you in such high regard too. |

You're basically just trying to create Wintergrasp in Eve. For shame Spank, I've always held you in such high regard too. I appreciate what you are saying but this is hardly a 'thinly veiled' effort, I thought it was rather transparent. It doesnt make the entirety of high sec a 'gank zone' but rather turns the currently contested high-income zero risk incursions into something more akin to low sec combat, but with equal inherent rewards. I dont think you need to be so paranoid as what I propose only affects those seeking high reward PVE... but with a risk of PVP, and as for making incursions impossible, you only have to look at the success some people have with low sec incursions to understand that this isnt simply making incursions gank-zones but rather areas of opportunity in high sec. EDIT: I might look into what Wintergrasp is but I doubt it's relevant to Eve,
Thinly veiled, transparent, 6 of one, half-dozen of another. I never said it made the entirety of Hisec a gank zone, I get completely what you are saying. What I find to be both ironic and disturbing is that you are proposing an e-z mode. You've always been a champion to me of what the spirit of Eve was, a game that isn't easy...you know, the whole "Eve is Hard" thing. This idea, while on paper sounds kind of cool, in execution is just putting a lie to all that. Besides, I think we all know that after a few ganking incidents that it would end up like Losec.
Like I said before, Incursions do need to be fixed direly, but to temporarily suspend anything resembling law and order just for the sake of a little pew and some lulz would cause more harm than good in the long run. Besides all that, I can't imagine the coding required to isolate a pocket of a hisec system for a period of time would be as simple as writing a post such as this. Most likely you'd end up with a nasty bug, a crapload of petitions and a whole lot of headaches for the Petition-Reading crew. Personally, I think more tears would be had by popping those Moms and thus ending the Infinite Sansha Spawn and angering a whole lot of Isk farmers.
And for the record, Wintergrasp is a zone in WoW were PvP is in effect 24/7, whether or not it's on a PvE server or PvP. So it doesn't matter if you are minding your own business mining a node or gathering an herb, if there is the enemy faction there, you'll get ganked. Thus, the place is all but deserted at any moment short of the bi-hourly Battle Royale for control of the region, and even then, I'm not sure how packed it is. True, not a lot of relevence to Eve as a whole, but a ready example of what this idea boils down to. |
