No, that does not follow. CONCORD is part of the sandbox in the same way as tritanium is. Tritanium doesn't change just because we choose new ways of using it (e.g. by building module X instead of ship Y). Likewise, CONCORD doesn't change just because we choose to trigger it more or less often, and with or without a plan behind those triggering events. Just because EVE is a sandbox doesn't mean CONCORD has to evolve GÇö it just means CONCORD is part of the tool box with which we shape our world.
Doesnt need to evolve, CONCORD's mandate is to provide safety for trade, it is their "current" role. |

Lore aside, Concord's purpose as part of the game is to provide concequences for unlawful activity, not to provide safety.
"CONCORD contains a division called the Secure Commerce Commission which is jointly run by the major New Eden empires to ensure a safe and universally regulated trade environment."

CCP define the Lore. They also provide the sandbox. CCP can change the atmospheric qualities of the sandbox as they see fit. Perfectly within the remit of a responce based on the OP's suggestion. Also CCP have been known to enter the Sandbox with specific events from time to time as NPCs. Nothing stopping them from doing so in any shape or form to provide a more enriched and immersive gaming experience.
Just since someone wants to push Lore aside to make the sandbox work in a certain way isn't a strong argument at all. |

Not that some of the devs might not like the idea, but I'm sure they've got other things one their hands, Inferno and all that.
You guess wrong. They can jump in as chars as they like, they can spawn things as need be with GM abilities, its in the system
Given the revenge nature of this, might be a useful therapuetic proposal for Goons to have some pot shots at CCP pixels if it will help their mental health in the long term. ;) |

I would like to see this, and explore other systems with next to no concord that are 1.0 systems :o
Considering that Jita is the major crime centre of the universe, this would be a sensible compromise.
Likewise they could be suplemented in ranks with factional navies if deemed of significant political interest. Sure Caldari can out afford paying CONCORD to look the other way for the Swarm. ;)

And the fact that the Caldari cannot afford to re-deploy their forces because that would open the door for the Gal navy to make gains.
Aye let it snowball if need be. All for more immersive content with GM interaction. For me I'd like CCP to consider investing in more GMs with a significant agenda to provide some more random NPC interaction aswell as potential "background noise" associated with the EvE dialouge.
If the Universe burns so be it, if they turn their turrets towards Goons who attempt to threaten them so be it. "Commence au festival" I beleive your "not so serious" clown would emphasise.

Serene Repose wrote:See if I have this one straight. Goons said they'll "burn" Jita. (I imagine Mitt sees it as his Reichstaag.) So...CCP needs to change the rules (in this game of no rules) for this special event? Why? Because in this sandbox (where there's no particular way anyone is "supposed" to play) there's this way we're supposed to play and CCP must allow us to play that way?
It's too early for me to be hitting the JD, but my eyeballs are totally out of focus at this point.
Yep, Goons "write the script", didnt you know?  |
