It is obvious that there will be a problem with new players finding it tedious in the extreme to move all their stuff out with the designed mechanisms. New players want to keep what they have just spent a month or so earning from career agents; it is wholly irrelevant if tedious veterans here think that stuff is worthless, it is valuable to the new player. So “Fozzie” says FC will just stick their head in the sand, ignore that they are alienating the very people they are trying to retain, then wonder why Exordium has failed, and maybe, if they can be arsed, change the design.

Yulai is only for dumb vets and truly clueless noobs to get bombed. Yulai is the only entry and exit for now.

So how is you stating “EVE is a PvP game” to the developers change the fact that they want to increase player retention? Is EVE a PvP game? PvP is possible and in the past it was encouraged by the devs, but EVE is hardly a PvP game no matter how much the devs or a minority if players wish it were. Maybe it’s PvP for you and like-minded people, but for the majority it is definitely not. And broadening the term to encompass non-combat activity doesn’t change what people really mean when they say “PvP”. Hot take: Eliminating non-consensual HiSec PvP in its entirety wouldn’t put a dent in EVE’s playerbase. The reaction would be overall positive. Agree or disagree? Exordium, if it is the function as the devs seem to desire, does not seem like it will work out. Other changes will have to be put in place. Changes that will effectively end non-consensual PvP even outside of Exordium for characters under a certain age. If that’s the case, why even bother with Exordium and all the bugs it’s introducing? The whole thing sounds ill-conceived. A 45-day immunity to unprovoked aggression (that can be opted out of) would make more sense and be far less headache than making Exordium and completely restructuring the starter experience. ---

Thats sounds like a load of crap and an overgeneralization of entire subsection of the playerbase. Especially when there are plenty of other games that are easier and harder than EVE. Eve is an acquired taste and honestly I can only handle it in a few doses. ---

> [@Shion\_Ishii](#): > > Eliminating non-consensual HiSec PvP in its entirety …would kill the game. For reference, see EVE Echoes. There is no PvP allowed in high sec and as a result inflation is sky high and ore is all but worthless. The same Prospect that costs 30 million ISK in EVE Online costs 1.2 billion ISK in Echoes… ---

Let me put it in terms you people can understand. If EVE Online had NO non-consensual PVP whatsoever in high sec, it would kill the game. Trillions of ISK would flow through Jita daily unhindered, manufacturers would never sell another barge, Orca, Porpoise or hauler ever again, because you can’t be killed. Manufacturers would never sell another faction battleship or Marauder ever again, because again, no worries about being ganked. High sec ores and ice would become all but worthless because you can’t be killed and would be able to suck down entire belts 24/7 in perfect safety. You people really don’t think about the consequences of what you are wanting. Or maybe you do and just don’t give a ■■■■… ---

It’s like people don’t read…yes, this game is a PVP game at it’s core, no amount of players saying it isn’t is going to overrule what the devs designed this game to be. Destruction is good for the economy. If you want a more PVE centered game, EVE echoes exists. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/optimized/4X/4/7/1/4714bf7372cf6cbe94ece5522c200da006e18f0b_2_690x62.png) ---

There you go lumping folks into categories. I ain’t against PVP my forumtacular acquaintance. I’m against the ■■■■■■■■ Wardec system and lack of consequence for suicide gankers among other things. I’ll tank my ships, fly with D-Scan, watch DOTLAN, Killmail, Evemap, take all the precautions I need to, to be safe and it wont stop the eventuality that a couple suicide tornados or have it blows me up at a market. Ill still play here and there and with these precautions. I think suicide gankers should lose tremendous amount of security status from one act. I don’t think security tags should be tradeable to recover security and I don’t think they should exist at all. I think the wardec system for highsec should change to some proportionality system where corps of similar member populations can wardec each other regardless of having an infrastructure up. Perhaps make a “Tiny” class Citadel as a gateway into infrastructure holding. Its like a wrestling weight class for highsec corp wardeccing. Eve has risk, yes thats part of the game. But sometimes it just dont make no good sense other than people inflicting suffering upon each other for the lulz. If I wanted that, I’d go back to Escape from Tarkov or Rust or any other game where PVP is the game. ---
