Meh…all Eve _really_ needs is to remove the flowery background music and replace it with something that reminds people they are either predator _o_r prey…

I think that would destroy the reason why I started playing EvE in the first place.

Why are you trying to destroy the thing that made EvE special when practically every other MMO that has PVP only has consensual PVP?

(edited to add, ahh man, you got me Nasty Shrimp.)

i will bring up 2 options for your “opt out pvp button”

1. as soon as you “opt out pvp” then youre not able to generate ISK in any form ! all of your loot will have a flag “Opt Out Loot not able to Sell” ( this includes your mining loot ( ice / ore ) ! loot from wrecks ! all mission item rewards ! all loot drops from DeD and hacking sites ! )

2. you accept that you accept PvP as soon as you undock !

> [@Nasty\_Shrimp](#):

> more safe.

exactly this is nothing that eve needs ! we all need less saftey and not more ! lern to play and then you (almost) never get killd if you dont want it !

New threads about consensual PvP should be consensual.

On a non-troll direction, I would like a controlled PvP environment where newer players, such as myself, can practice actual PvP combat mechanics without getting scrapped.

Some kind of 1v1/5v5 arena thing.

just pack a frigate or destroyer and go to a lowsec sytem with a lot of pvp kills on zkill.

you will learn how to pick fights and you will be ambushed… but that is the game.

aometimes you win, sometimes you lose

A controlled 1v1 arena is vastly different to jumping into a 1v5 low sec Praxis gate camp.

so you wanna say … a game that is a pure PvP game from HS to NS and youre creating an account and char is nonconsentual ? Oo

No…I’m quoting the title of the thread. Do keep up.

this thread is no nonsense at all.

i am truly interested in oppinions on this. other than: eve is hard, uninstall if you don’t like it

i mean sure, that also is an oppinion.

but after you said it one, maybe two times, it is heard and okay.  
i want some constructive debate here. not chatwarriors trying to show how smart they are

yes okay. but what i mean is, what might it lead to, if such a mechanic would be implemented?

what do you guys think would be the result? that is what interests me, not that you think it is stupid.  
but why you think it is stupid

and please no answers in the manner of: cause eve is PvP

a little bit more elaborate would be nice

We’re having fun. Why are you not having fun ?! It’s a sandbox, you make it fun. And New Eden is supposed to be dangerous and gloomy - says CCP ! They know, they made the bloody game.

On the other hand, having 3 highly active threads from hisec eve wannabe’s about pvp/ganking/consent, is that a “lucky” coincidence or just a coordinated push ? Loud, wrong and destructive in more than one way.

> [@Nasty\_Shrimp](#):

What makes you think your thread is special, let alone necessary ? Why not simply make your feelings known in one of a _vast number of similar threads on the same subject_ ? Why don’t you play nice on the forums, and not make your own thread about how you don’t accept the game for what it is and is meant to be ?
