Wait, i wasn’t supposed to use my full legal name as my character name?

Srima has a non-existent PvP score.

PadFest score = 0.

Insta-Killboard surveillance reveals everything on the first kill or fight. Instantly. The bait is burned for the evening, the ragerolling fleet is revealed. The fleet will be hardcountered or completely dodged. And that pendulum swings both ways, for those baiting and for those counterbaiting. An escalation of fights like in the old days is hardly possible if each side instantly knows what the other side had active.

That’s not entirely true. Most fleets don’t change doctrine fitting every 5 minutes. In fact the very fact that so many do fly doctrine fits means you can tell exactly what fit they are flying simply by looking at the fleet composition. I’ve gate camped in mixed fitting ships as well, but even then you know that ships involved in that are going to have to have certain modules. It’s not like anyone’s flying a fit where you think ‘ oh….who’d have thunk of that !’

Everyone knows perfectly well that in order to find PvP, you need to create a new character, train it, “create” your page on ZKB so that this character looks like a newbie who doesn’t know anything.

total Bull ■■■■. everything is fine as is.

I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that with the emergence of such public services, people first open the website, and only then decide whether they will participate in PvP or not, whether they should be concerned that a pilot conceals a potential risk or if it might be a trap. And if everything suits them, they undock.

Another issue is local chat parsers. Take localthreat.xyz, for example - it’s a great tool. You don’t even have to dig through zKill yourself; you just dump the local list into the parser and it spits out everything: threat level, solo player or not, and their favorite ships.

As you refer to Concord and Jita….I can only say that your claim that people check killboard in highsec before deciding to undock is laughable nonsense.

Seriously….you check the killboard of every single one of 1,800 people in Jita before undocking ? Was the last time you undocked in 287 BC ?

And you don’t need killboard to tell you whether a ‘new’ char is genuinely a noob. You can generally tell that someone flying a Vargur when their char is only 9 days old is either a real noob with more money than sense, or a vet in a new char with lots of skill injectors.
