Left because of wardec

Set the wardeccers to low standings.
Keep local chat in a separate window and set the members list to compact.
Look at their war history. How many wars do they have active? How long do their wars usually last?
Look up the deccers on Eve-who and z-kill.
Work out how many of them are active, where they operate, what they like to kill and what they like to fly.
Are they looking for easy kills in certain systems? Are they specialist structure bashers? Do they hunt blinged-out mission/incursion ships? Or do they just blanket wardec anything they see and hope for opportunistic kills?

All of these steps will make your week-long highsec wardec a breeze.
Either avoid the deccers, protect their target assets or simply play on your alts for a week if all else fails.
OR man up and take the fight to them.
Highsec deccers don’t usually expect any kind of organised resistance.

When you get to the point where you are calling for an almost total re-write of a game because you don’t like the way it is, that is when you are supposed to realize that the game is not for you.

I’ve done this with games before. Not to such an extreme degree as you, but I’ve thought ‘this game really should have X and Y and do Z differently’

However you mostly have to accept that what you’re asking for is based on your personal preferences, can be found in other games, and does not have to be in this game just because it’s what you want.

Games don’t work like that.

Input from players can drive minor changes and push a game in a certain direction. However in a case this extreme, where it’s not just X, Y and Z you have a problem with but the rest of the alphabet as well, you have to start entertaining the notion that you need to either a) accept EVE as it is or b) play something else.

That’s just reality.

I don’t like the Star Wars prequels, but no one is going to re-write them to suit my tastes so I either have to watch them as they are or not watch them.

There are always going to be balance problems. However, ore is needed as a baseline in the game. The game is not all PVP and with out ORE PVP would not happen. However, the games persists on. Growth? Little, because, yes, there are far more griefers, and being a game that is not 100% PVP does make it difficult on new players because they try to run the gambit between laborer and enforcer, on top of a high learning curve and difficult market. So yes as stated not for everyone, but, high sec was established as a learning ground and the game mechanics has created a very fertile ground for griefers to pick on the miners, mining base ores with little return. So yes, it is a bit more disruptive then many games and can be very dissatisfying if you are not just going out and killing things.

Do keep in mind that most griefers play the dualism card. In other words, do as I say not as I do. They often have mining bots, toon farms and other things, in other regions. They say they are trying to rid the game of the very same thing they do. Why? Because the isk keeps them in the game, and lets face it, PVP is isk negative. The ways for them to support what they do, either plex it, gank it, buy isk from eBay, hack accounts or other. Most the griefers have grown bored of the game so they have found ways to keep playing and creating new content, with little to no risk. Those ways may include an endless supply of isk through nefarious resources or doing the same thing they say they are trying to rid the game of. Basically they are all Hippocrates. But, there is little difference between the game and how they play it and the world we live in with kids these days. There is little to no ethics with these types of people.

I signed up for a socio-economic simulator. That it’s in space and has cool explosions is a bonus.

I also get to watch as a culture is born and morphs over time. Players create the vast majority of social rules in EvE. That makes EvE unique and interesting.

This is a common misconception, as far as CCP are concerned every activity in Eve puts you into conflict with other players, either directly or indirectly.

PvP in Eve isn’t just shooting people in the face.

Ore doesn’t all come from high sec, and like it or not, the gathering of said ore is in and of itself PVP. You are competing with other players to acquire it, and you are competing with them to sell it. In as much, you are vulnerable to them taking PVP combat action against you if they feel a more direct approach to pushing you out of their market is necessary. This is a PVP game in every aspect, even if it doesn’t appear as such to you on its surface features.

Everything you just wrote is one huge load of nonsensical hogwash. Hack accounts? Are you for real right now? Do you have any evidence for anything you just said?

Yes I know it.

I also think that playing style in virtual world and the real life of people are connected.

Regardless of what people in here are saying, learn to play, this is eve live with it etc… The whole Wardec system alongside the Bounty system needs an overhaul which is way overdue!

So you think everyone who plays GTA is a stone-cold murdering thug who steals cars and drives them up the wrong side of the road to get stunt jump points?

“896 bans related to account hijacking” - imagine if this is only part of cases for which actions been taken.

“we have seen a very dramatic increase in account hijacking and theft”

If you have the experience your fellow corpmates dont have about wardec mechanics. You should make sure everyone in your corp knows whats up with the wardecs. For example jump clone to different system, keep an eye out for local helping your corpmates to defend themselves.
Wardecs can be avoided and it doesnt need to ruin your game experience in anyway

And who’s doing that account hijacking? Is it RMT’ers, or is it ‘griefers’? When you make a claim that it’s griefers doing it, just proving that it’s going on doesn’t prove it’s ‘griefers’ doing it.

Utter

Hogwash.

First of all, griefing in EVE =/= griefing in other games. Ganking isn’t griefing. Wardeccing isn’t griefing. These are normal gameplay. They are as much normal gameplay in EVE as jumping on a goomba’s head is normal gameplay in Mario.

The fact that people have been hijacking accounts does not equate to ‘griefers are hijacking accounts’. No one is mocking, I’m just calling out ■■■■■■■■. He hasn’t even attempted to justify a correlation, he just made a claim that griefers are hijacking accounts, and doing a bunch of other rule breaking stuff, and he hasn’t proven any of it. RMT’ers are doing it. Every account they steal is another they can use to launder isk to players buying it from them. Every account they steal is a bunch of assets they can sell for isk to make IRL money, and it doesn’t matter if the account gets banned because they still end up making more money off a stolen account than they spend.

Strangely enough I agree that wardecs in its current form are utterly dumb.

But oh my god what an entitlement, what an inability to do anything you haven’t been spoonfed with. Waaah waaah waaah, I refuse to take care of myself, CCPls help.

It is not because I don’t like it. This is because I want this game to continue existing.
Things I showed are concerned malfunctions in the game. If necessary actions will not be done EVE Online will die.

2019 year will be critical for CCP. There are only two ways after this: or they go it through and then will be existing for long, or they dissapear.
They know it and they try to be prepared for it. But if right things will not be implemented they become a part of history.
