steal*
But why donāt you defend your isk then?
Iām not sure how this logic works.
CCP wants you to PVP to defend your isk. CCP doesnāt care if you āneed to make iskā. The game is now āif you want your pay out within those 3 hours, you need to fight for itā.
So either you do, or you donāt.
Whether you need to make isk doesnāt matter.
Then it looks like youāre going to lose the isk in the ESS.
Weaklings get weaker, and all is right in the world.

Might I suggest you use a translation program. At least they will add some punctuation which will do wonders for making your post legible.

0.0 is dangerous place where someone can steal your ISK if you donāt protect it. What a surprise!

How can someone āstealā ISK from another player ?
Can we carry ISK in the cargo hold ? Also, I was under the impression that whatever game machanics we can exploit is part of game design. Like using online tools and progrms. Is that correct or do I have it all wrong?
Quote from ESS change devblog:
The Reserve Bank ā This is the real jackpot. A smaller portion of each bounty is placed in the Reserve Bank where it sits until claimed by someone on grid who has a consumable key required to unlock it. When stealing from the Reserve Bank, you will be paid over time at a rate that spools up to a maximum then winds back downā¦"
So yes, we definitely can steal someones ISK in this game.

I donāt know whether to 
or 
at that one. Do I want to grind/pay to get what I need to steal from the Reserve Bank ( lmao! ) or continue to use my limited game time developing my capsuleer and training on npc.
It would be worth it if my goal was to become ISKing-o-the-hill which it isnāt.
Thank you for answering my question.
FLY CRAZY
I make enough from ratting to motivate me even with these changes ā¦ but then Iām part of an alliance which attempt to protect the ESS:es in our space. I mostly like the changes and find it interesting that there have already formed corps which specialize in bank robbing, enabling new ways to interact with other players seems like a good thing in my book.
The only thing that kind of bugs me as a newer player is that I canāt fly a ship able to enter through the ESS-gate yet. I can however still help my alliance by trying to capture and kill the bank robbers when they try to leave with their ill gotten gains.
its worth it
you guys are rich AF
dont cry

ārating to fund my pvpā right ā¦

Solution is simpleā¦donāt Rat in 0.0. The time it takes defending from those after your ISK is better spent earning ISK elsewhere. I stopped 0.0 sec ratting and went back to hi sec lvl 4 mission running and topped up with a little manufacturing as I was close to trade hubs. A lot more ISK generation with less risk. Players will always find ways to pvp there is no reason to force it upon others. Without those who try to avoid intentional pvp there would be no-one to hunt as pvp orientated players avoid each other 9 times out of 10.

If those who avoid intentional PvP avoid it 10 out of 10 times, and PvP orientated players avoid it 9 out of 10 times, where is the destruction supposed to come from?
Greed.

My point is if pvp orientated players hunted each other rather than take the easy pve fitted mission runner or miner they would not get annoyed at players avoiding pvp. Somebody who has fitted out a pve fitted ship to optimise ratting is not going to go look for pvp based players and will take measures to avoid them. If ccp puts measures in to force them to pvp they will find other ways to earn there ISK. Dont agree with anyone who tries to avoid pvp but gets ganked complaining as that is part of eve and should never leave. Surely it would be easier for a pvp orientated player to find another pvp orientated player to fightā¦but they wonāt out of fear of losing their ship, the same accusation pvp orientated players make towards players who try to avoid pvp.
Agreed, nothing wrong with that. Most objections to this arise from people wanting game-rules protection from it, though. But evasiion is just as valid as looking for a fight.
Again true, and so they should. But they should also accept that the safer from PvP the rules of a situation make them, the less isk they should expet make from it. I dont think that this has been the case, or is even the case now.
I feel a strong argument against this is basically because it was so easy to make isk in the last few years that the average cost of ship has increased (the hulls havent, but the kind of ships used are more expensive) and so everyone flies the Latest ThingTM and not easy to afford and replace T1s for example.
But this glut of cost isnt the fault of of players orientated one way or the other, its the fault of CCP making it easy to farm large amounts of isk for negiligable risk.
They have a problem that no one wants to lose their multi hundred isk ship, not because it was hard to replace but because the loss of it wasnt factored into their cost analysis and so they view it as an unacceptable minus in their balance sheet.
But without pinching the faucet off at its source, how else do you stem the tide?
How do you convice people that flying ships theyve already written off is a good thing to do?
For me its easy, CCP took away my own carebear profession, and so I went Alpha. now all I can actually fly is stuff I can afford to lose, and I cant really earn enough to replace anything I cant, so win win for me.

I donāt get this reasoning at all, the idea that players who hunt for other players would only go after PvE-fitted ships is simply wrong. Sure itās prefered since itās most likely an easier kill but save for a few ārisk averseā hunters most players in Null who hunt are merely looking for fights and donāt mind going up against a target that can potentially bite back.
Check the minerbumping site to see how wrong your assumption is.

Living in null sec let me tell you 99% of the PvPārs come up in kitey ships (including small gangs), and donāt want to actually PvP - they will run away and filament out while you wait in system with them to grow some nanas.
They come up to blow up MTUās and whatever easy target they can catch.
Oh, but people think that our PvPārs are much better than āthe Carebearsāā¦ but in general they are just as risk adverse!
((Not always of course, you occasionally get a good fight!))

If I wanted to do a rob, Id not be wanting to fight.
But
If I wanted a fight, I might rob as well.
What is the incentive for PvErs to fight, when they would prefer to rob (lets pretend doin a rob is PvE) and not PvP in the sense of doin a fight?
