If you want to have some fun, run a misinformation campaign in rookie help. When players ask questions like “how do I make lots of money?” tell them to train for a Covetor and just go do other things while it mines for you, and similar such horrendously-bad advice. You can’t get punished for doing this, and it really gets the chat going.
Well i kinda noticed that … when a troll told 2 days old pilot to fly astero… he havent been banned but i got banned because of i tried to explain why its not good apprach
How refreshing, a fix faction warfare post!
It’s been SO long since I read one. It’s like…
seeing Bambi again…at the theater!
just take tier 1 and 5 out then we have more time to think about it
DO IT
Seriously fix FW. Running the same fit across various factions simultaneously pretty much 24h a day.

The same goes for missions though, i use the same fit for each mission, the same goes for belt ratting, mining and anything else that makes ISK, FW was meant to be interesting but then people realised it was mostly just for the RP’ers to feel happy with themselves so they just farmed the content to make ISK while they RP’ers go pat themselves on the back in local
Multi-boxing (I’m being kind here) 5 characters in 5 different missions at once requires a much larger investment than these characters are making, requires more effort than these characters are putting in and doesn’t pay as well either.

Looking at those killboards it looks more like a case of those 5 characters being the thing being farmed, have you noticed the same name pops up quite a bit in killing them?
No…
I’m seeing a different killer with every loss.
Out of over 100 Coercer losses, how many have duplicate killers?
Edit-
Ah i see it. It’s because they keep reshipping and going back to the same system they were killed in.
like i said the worst are the jackdaws and the dramiels
i plex in one minmatar point , 15 people on local , no response
they just replex after i go , its not like ill do more than one site to earn 1/2 tier 2 pay
they are making 9 times the lp anyway

It’s messed up because it’s almost like an exploitation of the intended system. Those PvE opportunities were supposed to exist in tandem with the PvP risk. Instead, they’re farmed using throw-away setups in a manner that’s almost perfectly safe, and even when a loss happens, it’s trivial. Let’s compare…
For a similar reward (in fact, the FW reward appears to be higher by all measures):
- High-sec mission runner needs to use a battleship with high-end faction gear
- High-sec mission runner can get ganked
- High-sec mission runner needs a moderate investment in skill points
- High-sec mission runner needs to be present for the activity
versus
- FW plex farmer uses a 3-million-ISK expendable destroyer
- FW plex farmer has early warning of any approaching hostiles due to acceleration gates
- FW plex farmer can be three hours old
- FW plex farmer can automate the activity/multiply income via multi-boxing more easily
And once again, despite all of that, the FW plex farmer makes more money.
How can anyone really not see anything wrong with this?

i need you guys to trust me in that
the problem is the tier system
im doing some battles with a corp for fun but making NO MONEY
we need to change the tier system … everything else is less important
tier 2 one guy can make a living solo and create content
tier 1 , NOT
edit:
and btw create content include killing farmers
Almost everything in EVE is an exploitation of the intended system.
EVE players have a long and glorious history of finding ways to do this. EVE has always struck me as a game where the designers have one thing in mind while the players, being far too clever for their own good, find ways to outsmarting and manipulate the intended system.
This then becomes both applauded ingenuity in a ‘I can because sandbox / you can’t make us do it your way CCP!’ kinda way and a problem when it breaks the intended system.
EVE = Everything’s Very Exploited.
In what way?
Same new pilot had been telling about his mining ship clearly seeking ways to more proper tanking for his fit … that same guy who suggest astero and blinkies to new pilots … just undermine that new pilots approach … and told him nothing happens… just focuse on yield not tank… there is more examples
and I have sent all these logs on tickets…
this way for example… I do still help in rookie help with different names… and if someone trolling… I’m not telling anything… CCP doesn’t like it …
after giving that very basic example of failure… I really can’t bring myself to explain or write about more strategic approaches, ideas … really… that much simple also out of OP subject … also nobody giving ■■■■ seems like …
CCP doesn’t care about Low-Sec PvP. If your engagements aren’t making headlines with capital ships you might as well not even be playing as far as CCP is concerned. CCP has turned. They used to support emergent gameplay and now they just use it as a scapegoat for why they can’t retain players (the real reason is the fact that they haven’t developed a single piece of worthwhile content in over 5 years). Furthermore, CCP makes much easier money encouraging a game full of entitled, bubble-wrapped, solo PvEers (and Bots).
They’re not going to fix faction warfare the same way they’re not going to fix Suspect PvP, or ganking, or wardecs. CCP only changes things for Null-Sec and High-Sec solo PvEing whales. That is the only population that know how to make an attempt at attracting because the current EvE dev team knows NOTHING about it’s PvP community NOTHING about game balance and NOTHING about the actual incentives that create a long term EvE player.
CCP is 100% clueless at this point and their ONLY goal is making as much money in the short term as they possibly can because the game is basically dead.
Also, in reference to the aforementioned bots. CCP doesn’t care about them either. CCP claims to combat botting but they are just paying lip service. Their bans never come soon enough. I know this because I report TONS of bots and if they’re banned it’s always at the start of a new quarter (so CCP can still report them as subs to their shareholders) by which point the bots have made enough money with RMT to simply inject a new set of toons. It’s the same thing that WoW does. It’s why FW is complete trash too. Good luck convincing CCP that low-sec PvPers pay CCP more money than FW bots because I guarantee you they do not which is the reason bots are allowed to operate with such impunity.

Want to give each other mutual lobotomies? Maybe if we slush up some of that frontal lobe brain goo, then we can also become people who enjoy EVE’s PvE experience, and then we won’t care about any of these issue anymore!
I already ordered the ice pick on Amazon…
