thanks! for making the first NON-childish, rational statement this thread has seen in a long time!
However, your statement should read: “”…its just that all PvE activity …was/is intended…to take place in an omnipresent PvP context …“” and I would certainly have no problem agreeing with that. However, this is precisely what is at issue, what EVE Online is intended to be and what EVE Online actually is. It is the “…omnipresent pvp context…” which they fail, utterly, to establish. The presence and rule set of High-Sec, the NPC corporations and EVE Online advertising create and depict a game in which the PvE is completely separate from the PvP. CCP needs this confusion in its game and at the same time doesn’t want it.
Suicide Ganking wouldn’t even be possible in an “…omnipresent pvp context…”
