I spend 90% of my time in high sec and have engaged in can flipping myself, along with ninja salvaging, trying to bait mission runners, war decing indy corps and all the other fun things you can do in high sec to make an ass of yourself. I don't apologize for my play style and don't care how other people choose to spend their time in eve. After looking at the op, I have to say I have no problems at all with the proposed "suspect" tag as long as 1) the suspect flag does not stop you from docking, gating or changing ships with an orca and 2) the sec status hit to the person with the suspect tag is removed.
This could however cause an unforeseen bonus in the new player systems. As everyone knows, there are people who sit in new player systems can baiting. Usually there are 2 or 3 of these guys bating. With the proposed changes, when a new player falls for the "free stuff" bait, instead of surprise butt seks from one thrasher, he/she will enjoy a surprise gang bang from many thrashers. And, all of the baiters will now be able to get in on the km. Just think of all the time this will save the baiters. (Before anyone jumps to conclusions, no I do not do this, as it is against the TOS/EULA. Just bringing this up for those who have brought up the "What you do drives off new players!" argument.)
Anyways, people are bringing up a lack of risk involved in high sec pvp. There are many ways and many locations to engage in pvp in eve, each with its own rules and its own level of risk. If you are flying around high sec with a suspect tag and anyone can take a shot at you then I would consider the risk requirement fulfilled. Your choice may not appeal to me and mine might not appeal to you. But, in the end, as long as ships go boom because of another player, isn't that pvp? I would imagine that, even with the proposed changes, you can still "bet on stupid" and come out ahead. All the suspect flag will do is give more people the chance to be stupid. |
