Originally by: Phoebus Athenian Coming back from having quit eve for a while. The reasons lie within the really bad player-gm interaction. The lack of proper refunds given the game difficulty and buggy/difficult user interface.
So I've been playing GuildWars amongst other things for the simple reason that it is easy to get into pvp. Its easy to learn about the game without spending ages - but sure it is a different game.
First off, we need to make small pvp possible, outside of big gangs and blobs. 1 vs camp, 1 vs blob, 1 vs gank are all not fair - sure they're kills but it also kills people's interest. We can't really take them off the game, but we should figure out more ways for people to have fun with their ships, 1v1 2v2 3v3 and so on. Maybe an organized dueling "mode" place, you name it. Every empire system should have one, just for entertainment. Even with free ships to pvp in (cheap tech 1 fun?).
Secondly, why can't you implement a way to automatically buy the items you need for a said "build" and fit them to your ship? You can then have a template system for fittings, and people could exchange them. I would recommend making a GW account just to learn a few things about the ease of these templates. The amount of time it takes to PREPARE to have fun in eve is simply ridiculous, we need to reduce that.
I would also like to see general UI improvements, makings things more intuitive and safe from common mistakes. I've lost 3 clone sets because I couldn't figure out how this system works. It wasn't obviously documented anywhere - should people go asking for information? No, in my opinion information should be intelligently be presented to the user through the interface.
I may be adding more to this, other similar ideas are welcome in this thread. Please keep it to useful.
1. small scale pvp is very easy to do i used to do it in coalition of eve in kakkakala.Blob warfare is a 0.0/lo sec fun fest, i do think blobs are fun.
2. Eve is perfect in every way except the nano nerf and cap mechanics (OPPOSE NANO NERF!) and (capitals need t2/faction variants, need 2 be able to use stargates in hi sec, and need to be allowed in l5s).
