QFT
Or, players could stop allowing themselves to be victims and actually take measures to defend themselves.
Instead of cowering from that 'evil' PvP. Someone should protect you from those mean old other players, right?
Or, players who think griefing soft targets qualifies them as PvPers could get off their high-horse and put as much effort into trying real PvP against other players that are also set up to PvP as they put into crying on the forums about WAAAH level 4 missions are overpowered and WAAAH not enough players in low-sec WAAAH.

waa-waa-waa... you're not getting all the design decisions? Perhaps if you pvp'ed vs pvp'ers for once, you'd know what pvp is and see that CCP has provided a lot of space and features for you. Get off your high horse and play the game. DONE.
OMFG it's like you're my psychic twin or something. |

Philosophical nonsense that is irrelevant to an internet spaceship game
Quote:
I doubt either of us think in the extreme ink the other paints with. Penalties are all well and good. Suiciding was imbalanced as hell. But with added security, those choosing to live in hisec should be forced to pay the piper, somehow. Tax them. 10-15% off every bounty, mission payout, market action, rental fee, etc, etc.
In hisec, you let NPC's protect you from the cruelty of others. Great, wonderful, everyone has a place to call their own. But why do you and I lose nothing for that protection, while those in losec have to expend effort and/or teamwork in order to get that same level of security?
The problem is not high-sec. The problem is low-sec. The rewards in low-sec are simply not there, and never have been. Low-sec is an anomaly. It's supposed to be a middle-ground between high-sec and 0.0, but it's not. Besides the few consolations such as sentry guns, and mostly meaningless sec hits, low-sec is de-facto 0.0, minus the rewards of actual 0.0.
Wanting to penalize high-sec players simply because your choice to live out in low-sec hasn't turned out so rosey is a backwards and selfish way to try and fix things. Low-sec, and half of 0.0 with stupid true-sec values are what need to be addressed, not supposedly imbalanced level 4 missions.
What a lot of players *****ing about level 4's fail to grasp is that the people making good money out of them have specialized in order to do so. They're usually flying expensive setups and have a serious investment of skills. This is no different to manufacture, invention, ratting, 0.0 mining, 0.0 plexing, moon mining/reactions, trading or any other reliable way of making ISK. You get out what you put in.
The only area where this doesn't apply is low-sec. If you ask me, get rid of low-sec entirely.

Post-edit: Pretty graph for the reading impaired: Here
Actually, that graph sums it up nicely.
If CCP make that green line shoot WAAAY up in the "problem area", that might help.
Well the real problem is the pink line: Risk. You go from 0.5 which is low-risk to 0.4 which is stupid-high risk. The only real difference in risk between 0.4 and -1.0 is the availability of bubbles. Other than that the risk is no different, while the reward is only going up incrementally as you make your way from 0.4 to 0.0 then to -1.0.
Risk is the area that needs addressing. I have no solution to this and CCP isn't paying me to come up with one.

You can draw a lot of information from you posting with an alt yes.
You dont want the drivel you come out with to be attatched to your main.
Why?
Because you fear your main or your mains corp will suffer repercussions for what you say. You are scared i will come and pop you, or wardec you.
I post with an alt because I fear that people might start thinking my main is actually intelligent, and may start expecting him to make decisions or take on actual responsibility.

The Drawingboard
September 4th 2008
Agent Orange
This is a total overhaul from the ground up of the entire agent missions system/concept ù slightly more ambitious than the previous entry, but much needed.
Fo real? Linky plz cuz I'm bad at searching.
Here. It is full of win.
Pfft. The Drawing Board. Don't expect to see any of this stuff implemented within the next year, by which time I expect the 60d GTC to cost $100.00US at the current rate of increase.
