If you find the combat against NPCs fun then you will continue to find it fun because nothing about the actual PvE activity has changed. Complaining about the ESS is a concession that you don’t find the PvE itself fun and consider it nothing more than a means to an end. ---

You are working and geting payed 100 isk per you working effort, let´s imagine this scenario. And now let´s imagine this: you are working and getting payed 50 isk for the same amount of work, 50 isk are stored in two separate banks which can be plundered during 3 hours (rules for the 2nd bank are yet to be established), that you will have to protect god knows hos many times per day, i.e. being disturbed again and again. Not to mention constantly declining bounty % due to DBS since i´m not about to feed and attackers are not about to feed either. How is it “PVE does not change” for you - i have no idea. ---

> [@Daro\_Mozu](#): > > How is it “PVE does not change” for you - i have no idea. Why do you not understand the concept that an activity and the reward for doing that activity are not the same thing? If my job pays less I’m going to quit because my job is just a means to an end. I don’t enjoy it at all, so if the pay is decreased I have zero interest in continuing it. If a fun thing I enjoy doing pays less I’m probably still going to do it because the fun is the goal, not the reward. ---

Show me a single mentaly healthy person who is shooting NPCs just for the sake of it and without thinking about reward, who will be happy to shoot NPCs for 0 isk. My problem is not risking losing some isk or some kind of fear of PvP. My problem is this mechanig being an absolute cancer: now i can forget about just login in on a casual day and thinking “i´m kinda tired of PvP, maybe gonna krab for a day or two” because constellation will be constantly terrorized, when i will spend more time chasing some nanoboys around than doing anything else. The only hope for that mechanic are ship restrictions. Will see what CCP will reveal for us. ---

If CCP would actually balance things according to area (sec status, wormhole, npc-constellation in your region) then i would not have any issues with approach “more isk for bigger risk” because this is my dream: dream about EVE strongly distinguishing between afk and not\_afk things, where risk/reward is clear. But for now… _stares at all those bot lands, or incursion, or C6 with rolled entrances, or abyssals_… well, i kinda ask myself “what is the purpose of null these days”? ---

That’s exactly what you said: nobody shoots NPCs without the ISK reward. If EVE’s PvE wasn’t garbage then people would do it because it is fun, just like people play all kinds of PvE games that don’t provide any reward. ---

What does that have to do with anything? Obviously the economy needs ISK, the point is the dishonesty of people saying “I LOVE DOING PVE SO MUCH” when in reality they don’t enjoy the activity itself and it’s purely a means to an end. ---

This discussion took a weird twist, which is normal for here I guess. People have fun in different ways, for some of us, the isk gain IS part of the fun I like anomalies because I experiment with different ways of doing them ( I do NOT use caps/super caps to rat). Anoms are my favorite pve because they are super accessible, they escalate sometimes, I’ve gotten some epic pvp out of them (don’t interrupt my krabbin lol) and so on. I will give the new system a try but I’m probably done with anoms even though I like doing them in different ways. The whole point for me is that I can log in, undock, warp and get at it and make some ok isk, and as long as I watch local and fit to survive (i try to pvp fit my ratting ships) i have a fair chance of survival. This overcomplicated ESS/DBS stuff won’t be for me beyond the occasional defense of an ess because i’m bored. No big deal, I just learn how to Gila my way through abyssals again (hmm, I hear the Stormbringer is actually ok for them) and have my alt for burners and incursions. Maybe later on CCP will change it back to something I want to do.
