Yes, this helps a lot, and yet yesterday we were running a BF and the Awoxer who has:
awoxer alts in our militia
enemy alts in the other militia
seagull alts in our militia
neutral alts
He took gate to the bf in and we engaged the awoxer alts first, then attacked his alts in the other militia, then attacked his neutral alt who took gate in the neutral beacon, then we attacked his seagull alts who came in VNIs.
The result was that we fully pushed him out after killing some of his alts and one of my alts got kicked out the militia, yesterday AGAIN I had to run level 1 distribution missions and storyline to fix my standings so i can come back to the militia.
So, this is the reality we live everyday in the warzone, we have to deal with these mixed groups everyday, or they are awoxing or seagulling, all of them are from the same country and if you are not from their country they will just kill and steal.
They are playing this game in a fascistoid manner based on their race and nationality, this is why it is important updates like yesterday’s update but we sitll need the factional civil war.
and the ones I am talking about are not even Frat, but they are friend’s with in EVE since they are all from the same country, there is one alliance in lowsec that is probably more toxic than frat and it is the Dragon Riders Legion, they hve some corps in minmil and they just awox non stop since they have enough padding alts they never get kicked out the militia
Isn’t it exciting to know that the next two major expansions this year will be solely devoted (again) to null-sec? This makes 2 straight years of this crap…
Yeah LOL, I mean, FW just need some fixes, very known FW players who are also streamers are talking about a FW civil war since when? It is years already
If i can wardec those awoxer corps and seagull corps we can fix most of the issue, still the seagulls who play like bots and use direct enlistment to enlist alt by alt but the corp is neutral will still be there just leeching LP… I guess we will have to awox them then. They are not important, they can die
Low-sec needs an entire major expansion (FW overhaul).
High-sec needs an entire major expansion (content).
Wormholes need an entire major expansion (content).
Utter BS strawman crap, you nitpicked on semantics and started off topic on purpose.
Game’s longevity was never a topic of discussion, you chose that strawman to either troll and deviate discussion, if anything else.
Point of topic at hand:
Any “serious” company would NOT let rampant abuse and exploit of friendly fire inside their game go unfixed and unpunished, no matter how old or how long the game’s been around. It is no fkin excuse.
Have the recent changes to the payout method helped the Situation in FW? For example less “friendly” seagulling that relied on the fact that you cannot really shoot them to drive them off? Because if I recall correctly, you now have to spend much more time and be much closer to the beacon to receive any payout, right?
I’m personally very pleased with the recent changes. Medium NVY-3 and Small NVY-2 sites are so wonderful for punching in on now. My little Stabbers have never been happier!
Somewhat yes but, those are lazy CCP style tweaks, not real fixes.
Bottom line:
Those « friendlies » can still freely attempt to shoot/kill you and push you out and steal your site if they want to, and bring more seagulls or allies (FRATS +30 enters chat..) to force you out of system.
There are still no repercussions to abusive awoxing and resource wars by seaguls or corps/alliances in Eve Online’s FW.
