Me: “here’s why your proposals are bad for new players and bad for the game in general.”
You: SO AGNRY WHY DO YOU HATE NEWBIES I WIN
I think everyone here can see that I have won this debate, and you have nothing but shameless gloating over having been so pathetic that you made someone a bit angry.
I’ll come fight for free ships! (I mean who wouldn’t come fight for free).
It also makes it pretty meaningless when I win or lose of course. Since I don’t care. Having at least a little skin in the game is good for motivation.
Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled topic of wardec complaints.
To be honest as a returning player I benefit from the skill injectors. Granted I had a butt load of isk and stuff that I could use to buy them and inject my characters. I would never have come back to eve if I was not able to. Because I dont have the patience anymore to wait 35 days or 60 or 90 for a level 5 skill.
Like many old players I went through the learning skills and the tediousness of swapping clones with training implants when I went on leave and so on. After I sold my old char and now returned I could not see myself going through that again. CCP gave us skill injectors and as much as I or anybody here want to bash their feet in disapproval I benefit from it, CCP has 5 Omega accounts again from me and I am happy.
Granted I do not agree with everything Sabus says… even in SICO the dude is known as a bit crazy (scratch that, he has been kicked from SICO) and that is ok. Nothing wrong with being crazy… so am I :). I do believe in the risk/vs reward aspect of eve and let’s be fair, some content available in highsec is really risky for new players so it should only be fair that they get rewarded for it, but then more skilled players need to benefit less from farming them. Let them go farm in low/null/wh. Either way, It cannot be something that just gets turned on as it will be abused by older players. I have my own ideas but this is not the thread to share them. And I will be honest, those that know me, I know little to nothing about PVE.
I do want to see new bros getting on a level as older players, but it also needs to be done smartly. Nothing gives greater lols then popping a bling battleship of injected char because he does not know how to use them. (Let’s be fair though, many old players can barely handle themselves in combat if they are not with 50+ other fellow pilots).
Now to buy just two more monitors this month and my setup at home will be done. I hate alt-tabbing in eve to check my scouts.
But let’s get this thread back on the rails. It has been derailed a long time ago.
So these dabnabbid war mechanics. Nothing more than structure bashing. In my days we grinded and bashed in players ships…
i’m just nostagic… i don’t really need that back. i would be more than happy to have the old unique war mechanics back though (with the improvements i mentioned earlier in this thread).
How about bills are due 6 days later instead of 7 days later? This way you can pay the bill on time to continue the war the next week. If you don’t pay the bill, you still get the cool down timer, but the you don’t get the extra day for free.
you do realize that if you buff highsec income a bit too much then prices will raise as well?
Skill injector price is directly tied to plex price… the more money flowing in the economy the more expensive plex will be.
