I’m not gonna teach you for free. You can pay me, and I’ll give you some tips. Just right click my name, and select give money. However, it’s not 2012 anymore. The debate is over. CCP has made a decision, and Highsec ganking is here to stay. So if you want some tips, I’ll be happy to help you, for a price. However, this tiresome forum attempt to get CCP’s attention. Look, you’ve lost. They aren’t listening. Ganking is allowed, and it’s part of the game, and you are going to have to accept that.
Why make such a fuss over a strawman argument that you came up with. I am talking about balance for solo hisec hauling players. @Obed_Marshh answers your question too.
I care that somebody who doesn’t play the game continues to pretend that anyone thinks they have a valid opinion about the game. You don’t even play EVE Online.
But you gank them, so you must, you also defend their ability to gank when people call for them to be unable to gank, I agree with you there by the way.
Dracvlad, if I shoot an alpha miner, it’s just to encourage them to subscribe and pay CCP - which is exactly what CCP wants. I’m here to help them make money.
I don’t care about alpha gankers. They are plebs. Nobody likes an alpha ganker, they are worthless and they are not welcome in fleets.
Alphas are temporary trial accounts. They need to subscribe and pay CCP if they want anybody to respect them.
I’m not sure what kind of balance you want. I hope you’re not one of those 'make hisec safe" people. What risk do solo haulers take traveling through hisec that other solo players don’t take? If I’m running missions, my bc or bs is gankable enough that I worry when gating. Big and slow is easy to tackle. When I need modules or ammo, I don’t take those ships into trade hubs. I use a destroyer because it’s more nimble.
Based on everything I’ve read here, I’m of the opinion that solo hisec hauling is meant to be doable only to a certain scale unless you’re ok with a higher chance of being ganked. CCPs intent may very well be that if you’re going to move freight in hisec you need corpmates to do it with a high chance of success.
I suggested that a lock breaker module be something that can be fitted to a freighter, or that a freighter have the same fitting options as a Bowhead. You can use a BS MWD with a bowhead. Solo players should have tools to fit their ships with to make it less of a spreadsheet like certainty.
I have a friend in Eve that saves freighters, he uses a large number of reppers and even then he often loses the DPS / rep race. What you are suggesting while desirable in terms of game play is not going to happen, you need at least twenty corpmates willing and able to do convoy protection, bit of a tall order that…
CCP are unaware of this suggestion, they don’t read their own forum most of the time, the only reason I got the bumping issue changed was that the CEO did a special on the forums and I made the point there.
I am talking to other players about the subject matter in this thread, while solo players are just a turkey in a turkey shoot then ganking is bad for the game, if not then it is great content. Bumping changed one major issue and the game is better for it. You lot still gank despite telling me that it had destroyed ganking, it did not. It also created more counter play in Uedama as I said it would.
And yet you attempt to refute me and try to divert the debate to strawmen arguments like remove ganking from hisec, which is not and has never been my position.
PS I don’t care whether people respect me or not, especially not gankers who spend so much time defending their turkey shoot playstyle, what I care about is getting the game balance right so it is worth playing for as many people as possible. Because taht is what was great about this game.
No, I’m not even trying to refute you. I’m just mocking you. I don’t care what you say Dracvlad, you don’t even play the game anymore. You are NOTHING. You have no valid opinions. Just shush, you have already quit the game. Let it go.
The future of the game is decided by people who actually play it. Like come on Dracvlad, who do you think CCP cares about? Not you pal, you are already gone.
