I’m not sure what’s funnier, that you seem to think you were the first person with this idea, or that you seem to think it’s a good idea
Lions and zebras coexist, sharks and seals too, i don’t see why crabs and gankers could not.
I am going to report you for offensive language.
What offensive language? You go girl…
2/5 for trolling.
I’m still trying to figure out how people get ganked in high sec. Seriously, you have to do a lot of things wrong to get ganked…
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
i will report you for verbal abuse
you are not in ytour house here
Let’s take a quick reality check: you are asking CCP to undo a mechanic they deliberately have kept in the game for 19 years. In those 19 years, a plethora of “PvE gamers” have figured out how to live under constant threat.
Perhaps the problem doesn’t lie with CCP, nor their game mechanics.
You are the one acting like you own the place, this is a public forum, people can have opinions. You saying you are reporting for things that are not against the forum rules is only just going to make yourself an easier target. No one is verbally abusing you, nor using offensive language.
Let’s keep this on your topic and not on attacking those that just have different opinions.
Metagaming via third-party communication is part of PVP in EVE, just look at the influence someone like the Mittani had without needing to undock.
So by your own standards, you’re engaging in harmful PVP by making this thread and it should be turned off.
Go right ahead.
Well if ccp ignores and tolerates your behaviour i am not going to start being disrespecfull and swear and be rude back at you
Everyone can swear , be rude and verbal abuse but when it comes to a intelegent argument, IQ ZERO
How did u came to that conclusion ?
I played the game 10 years ago and there was ganking. When I was a newbie then, the 9-year-old vets warned me about it and prepared me for it. So oral and lived history.
Unfortunately the “I want to do PVE only” players will never understand this.
Let me fix this for you.
Well if CCP ignores and tolerates your rude behavior, I will not. But I will still show you civility and respect. Everyone has the right to say whatever they want, but being abusive and rude doesn’t do well to support your argument. It’s an indication that you lack the mental prowess to defend you position.
There, much more articulate. Don’t you think?
Which is sad, because they are playing a PvP game. Being unable to reconcile with the soul of the game, must make it difficult for them to relate to it?
Misspells intelligent.
Someone who is intelligent would consider the ramifications of the changes they want to make to Eve Online… especially when they are some seriously significant changes.
Do you understand the ramifications to the Eve economy if you could turn on and off the PvP option of the game? The value of everything in the game would plummet because it could be harvested without risk. It could also be moved… without risk. Not that there is a lot of risk between jump freighters, BR, and DSTs… but the point still stands: there would be no risk.
Next, let’s discuss the ramifications on play styles. What your proposing is to get rid of different sorts of gameplay style to favor other styles of gameplay. Note: your idea doesn’t add anything new, it just gets rid of playstyles.
So, let’s discuss those ramifications. Players who really enjoy the style of gameplay you want to get rid of will leave Eve Online because you are getting rid of what they like to do in our sandbox. That’s lost players and lost subscriptions. Do you honestly believe that your change will bring in more players than Eve will lose with the change?
SOE made a huge change in SWG’s game mechanics and for every new player they gained, they lost about two. So, they effectively cut their game’s population by about a third instead of actually increasing it. Again, an intelligent person would consider the ramifications of their changes before proposing them.
So, let’s talk about another one of your proposals:
Is your idea going to gain enough subscriptions to cover CCP’s increased expenses from adding a new server? Highly unlikely. Thus it wouldn’t be an intelligent business decision by CCP to actually take your idea.
No, its CCP’s job to make money for their stockholders… And your idea isn’t going to make them anymore money and will likely lose them money… again, not an intelligent business decision.
You aren’t the first; you likely won’t be the last. And I’m going to tell you the same thing I’ve told the others: maybe Eve Online isn’t the game for you. And do you know what? That’s okay. No game is going to be able to cater to every player and games that generally try to cater to all types of players end up actually catering to no types of players because of the issues of trying to make everyone happy.
Look, I realize Eve needs new players to continue. We lose players every year… sometimes its not because they quit the game, we have players who are just plain dying. But destroying established gameplay styles isn’t going to bring in as many new players as we would lose of old players. In short, its just not an intelligent choice to do what you’re proposing.
