And yet CCP listens to you.

I'm curious how this all relates to the OP's problem?

Hurr durr, my parents didn't love me, I am a tough guy on the internet. DERP DERP.

Given the the past six months of changes, you REALLY think CCP isn't favoring highsec right now?

Bounties are being dropped because bounties are the biggest isk fountain in the game. Hopefully they'll renorm incursions after that, but we'll have to wait and see. They've already ruined the wardec system and Inferno's changes aren't looking all that great right now. They have been and will continue to make it HARDER for us to gank you, steal from you, and scam you. Most of the changes CCP makes lately have to do with giving you a nice plastic helmet to keep you from bumping your head if you fall down.

Name those changes.

I'll name some negative changes:
1.The "new wardec system" makes every Null Sec mega-alliance immune to War-Decs. So yeah, that's really mean to Null-Sec.

2.Put high taxes on PI in High Sec while Null Sec has effectively zero and planets that are 4 times as better as well. Low Sec got shafted in terms of PI as well.

3.Nerf of Drone Goo makes Null/Wormhole major suppliers of minerals.

4.Incursion Nerf. Only necessary change, but it still is a nerf to High Sec.


If you are in Low Sec, sure, you might be getting some bad stuff. You aren't CCP's little darlings, so you could be getting the shaft to. Jump Freighters, for example, were a big present to the Nulls and a big kick in the but to you.

I'd really like a list of EXPLICIT positive changes made for High Sec.

Not just, ya know, the War Dec changes really benefit High. Ya know? Like for sure dude.

That doesn't count.

Wow you just have no idea what you're talking about huh?

Guess what?

EVE is harsh. 'Nuff said.

1. What is stopping you people from forming massive alliances and coalitions in the area of Eve with the highest population density?

2. Null-sec taxes on PI are sometimes higher than high-sec, depending on your alliance's power and prestige. Destructible POCOs sure do favor nullsec though

3. Miners should be the primary suppliers of minerals. That a drone crusade could deflate the mineral market to such extremes before this was done is...notable.

4. A nerf to high-sec where it's obviously needed for the benefit of non-participants who were literally being griefed by the inflation it was generating. Right?

What makes you think that high-sec needs a bunch of changes designed to be in its favor again?

Oh right, fallacious thoughts, etc.

I've no issue with it being hard, I am questing the wisdom of ganking noobs.

"Ganking noobs" is strictly regulated by the EULA and enforced by GM's. There's basically a near-zero tolerance policy on it.

Experienced players are fair game. Unless you're implying people can somehow opt to remain noobs for their entire Eve career.

I guess now that I think about it there's a trend toward that very thing. Curious.

Excuse me for the lazy use of the word "noob" ... how about younger players that are not yet ready for the trials? IMO, anyone six months old is a noob.

Ladies here's a good rule of thumb:

You know you've nursed for far too long when your son looks at you and says, "Mom, give me tittay!"

Which, gentlemen, is pretty much what is happening all over these forums right now.

Guess what? Binky time is almost over.

PVP for tears is lame, go club some baby seals instead.

Remotely assisting someone who is at war flags you with aggression to all of the people the person you are assisting is at war with making you a legal target as long as you have a remote assistance module active and for 15 minutes afterward.

You can, jam, neut and blap neutral logistics as much as you like without penalty or concord interference.

When does the hand holding stop?

I am not arguing for some mechanic to protect them. Again, I am questioning the wisdom of going after them. IMO the CCP stance is the only viable choice, "you join a corp, you make your self a valid target for war decs." This does not also mean it is good to go war dec a bunch of noobs just because you can.

Targeting one or more market hubs is not the same as "targeting noobs" I assure you.

Agreed, my focus was on the "war dec" aspect presnted by the OP.

Did I mention?

Jita will burn.

WTS, low friction nozzle joints

You are right OP but griefing isn't an MMO genre either. It's the leftover scraps of other genres that other MMO's nerf out of thier games.

Perhaps one day CCP will move away from its misguided business model.
