Eve policies should protect Eve environment equally, but taking away BS Bonuses, whilst at the same time, enabling policies where the Rich Multiboxer can in one day gat up a full fleet of gankers, just by paying some PLEXES; It’s widening the gap between the rich and the poor in EVE. Less and Less casual players that may get one-three moth Omega a year, are playing the game. Because all blingy toys we invested have been neglected love by CS policies, and made an easy target for all gankers of all of Eve galaxy. Eve policies are severly skewed in favour of these lobby of players, that thanks to the power of plexes, can multiply their numbers, and buy CSM votes, to screw rich targets, like Marauders, over and over. The Brief moment T2 BS had a chance at surviving ganks, people like me invested in Marauders again, after years of losing them and trying to find a cure to this massacre that seemed to have no end. And Eve policies do not cover Marauders loss by multiboxx gankers. I would create a policy that every Marauder ganked explode 100%, leaving nothing to gankers, so MAYBE they will stop targeting them. ANd at the same time, give them back that 100% Bonus that has been taken away because of Multibox whiners that suddenly had no more access to easy cash, with minimal effort. THese are EVE policies? It’s time to change these. ---

Holy cow man, please just give it a rest. You lost that marauder because of your own errors. Eve’s game mechanics and FC’s development practices had nothing to do with it. I fly my marauder in missions all the time and have no issues at all. Accept the fact that you screwed up, learn, do better and move on. Last thing we need is yet another thread of your complaining that FC is in on some grand conspiracy to wreck your game because of…reasons. ---

A REST? I voted CSM because they could represent me, and my category, most of which is Veteran that do not even buy Omega anymore, bc it finds no interest in flying T1 or faction BS, when they trained years for their Marauders. Policies needs to change, and CSM is the place where someone have the power to make these proposal. So you are saying this is not your fault for creating Paper tank Marauders? You are saying it’s not your fault for enabling easy MTC Multiboxing with just a bunch of PLEXES, like in one day a new toon can create a complete new Multibox ganking fleet? You are saying that is not your fault that Marauders and B.OPs have been neglected the basic 100% bonus all other BS have, and that was not a complete cure anyway, it just gave solo players a small % chance of surviving? You are saying that it’s not covered in your policies, but at the same time, you are actively taking away honest players their most beloved ships from the game by completely ignoring every call to make them more resilient, and a bunch of Multibox whiners are more important to you than the EVe ecosystem as a whole? You create the policies, thw policies should be made in order to protect players like me that invested in expansive ships, survived ganks when the plate bonus was on, and when repelled without our voice being even heard or questioned, those policies should remain the same? I’d say NO my friend, the policies should be corrected, and all MArauders ganked by Multiboxers in HS should be refunded completely, because your policies quietly failed at protecting us. And the vast majority of players did invest billions in Marauders because suddenly your policies seemed to reflect our feelings about the Paper Tank issue of Marauders, with T1 ships having sgnificantly more EHP, and branding “Active tanking as the solution”. Which never worked in a real case. THis is a complete failure of your policies and you completely fail to admit it. I worked hard in order to get that CN Bastion, for a whole month I grinded. How many times I used my Marauders in all these months? Maybe three times. Because I know the moment I undock, 15 shadow gankers appears out of nowhere and pick up their next Marauder victim. Why Do you think it’s that? Why 99% of my missions must be taken with a T1 Abaddon? Cutting in four-five my isk per hour output from 100mil to sometime not even 20Mil an hour? This is your policy in action. So the very least you could do is to replace my lost ship. At least I can still watch it take dust in my collection! - ![Avatar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/8/4/f840a7cebbb9ac1f2826fd04c4771b217aa0a12b.png) - ![Avatar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/8/4/f840a7cebbb9ac1f2826fd04c4771b217aa0a12b.png) - ![Avatar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/8/4/f840a7cebbb9ac1f2826fd04c4771b217aa0a12b.png) - ![Avatar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/8/4/f840a7cebbb9ac1f2826fd04c4771b217aa0a12b.png) - ![Avatar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/8/4/f840a7cebbb9ac1f2826fd04c4771b217aa0a12b.png) ---

See, four non CSM commented negatively without ever reading what this is all about. This is not just a Marauder loss. It’s the complete failure of CCP-Fenrir policies used to “equilibrate” the game in the past 5 years or so. Taking away power from people with less resources, and gifting it to the most influential ones, for short coming income gain. But a massive reputational loss. And Veteran players loss. This is about Eve policies and how EVE CSM do not care the slightest what the actual playerbase that voted them needs.

## The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Maybe think about what you did wrong? How many times have you been ganked in the system sense 2013..? and you havn’t thought to change something..? You are choosing to run right beside jita… The biggest player hub in the game… where alot of gankers also hangout… not surprising your experiences. ---

I fought for the Marauder buff. It went one day, and everybody was happy. Then, a false flag operation, an excuse, and the Buff was off again. I have fought enough wars to have learned to never give up a fight. I suspect, some Eve devs have declared war on me, and in their spare time, try to bring me down. Do you need other reasons to not give up this fight? A sheep will never learn what is to be a Bear. ---

Usually the miners are threating with killing us or wish cancer to our whole family. Or ingame they threathen with powerful friends from nullsec that will teach us lesson (they never do). They mock us for how unskilled are we that we must do what we do, they swear at us, they sometimes even throwing racist or homopbopic slurts. It is happening very frequently. Some players are so mad that they completely stop doing what they were doing (hauling, pve, exploration, mining) and starts antiganking the ganker who got them 24/7. There is a guy who is doing that for more than year lol. Too many peoples who can’t handle losing in this full loot non-consensual PvP game. ---

The idea is to add an Auto-destroy Switch, then pump up al resist to 99.9%, and give time to swap out all costly modules to the escape frig, with +3, 4 warp strenght. Make a big EM Burst of five secs, that make all ships lost their targeting abilities, expel the frig ship, to the safe spot provided, then Auto-destroy the ship, with all content, and like a Smarbomb, kill anyone inside 50km radius with a 10k Doomsday sound bomb feature. All gankers and their helpers dies. You can even come back afterward, and loot their wreck. Locked in safety MTU unit, there is all that remained of value that your frig could not take. Just put it in the same space of the frig, and when the moment come, the ship will know to expel your ship during the burst, explode, then expel the MTU that only you can open, with what remain of value. This is something beyond Bastion. AN Auto-destruction High.power Burst-ECM, and then mini-Doomsday device (not allowed in Fleet formations). Then, beside this, any donation to my in game char : QUEOTZCATL of anything from 100isk to 0.5B isk, would greatly help me fund my efforts at trying to stay in the game, notwithstanding the oppressive nature of the gamers involved in it. Who-ever tries to scam you into believing they have the keys to your untold son, is just what he is. A scammer. Someone that driven by jealously, try to portray my transparency for a way to your hearth, is just a pathetic impostor. Jealous. As I said. I lost a 5B ship, and being denied any reimbursement, not allowed to display the true nature of the “nerf bat” in all of its glory, in seven-eight years of time. Nothing moved, your ability to make isks went down. Prices tripled or quadrupled on mostly anything you can think of. And it seems they reached a point to put us against one another. If You stole something, and want to make a donation to someone that has been stolen 1 5B jewel, he wanted to wear one time, otherwise why are we even living at this point… Donate 0.5B t my cause if you can. It’s not a scam call. And anyone playing puzzle with unrelated topics. A manipulator that can’t watch the truth in the eyes. 🫠 ---

Oh dear, so why someone didn’t bring a komora, or a faction Carrier, with a bunch of Nyx and Boros to the game? Can you make an insurance company that is able to deploy it’s own mercs fleets, and provide actual full insurance protection for a price? YES?

I was gonna say i’ll be the first CSM alumni to reply, but @Phantomite already told you to go see a doctor I’ll try to keep this fairly succinct but there are a few incorrect things being said in here > Rich CSM Agenda There is no “CSM Agenda” let alone a rich one, as every single CSM member is thier own person who ran for the position to put forward things that are important to them. There are many CSM Alumni like myself, Oz, Mike, and Kshal (amongst others) who have actively campaigned for changes that hurt richer players in order to give poorer and new players a slightly easier footing in the game > And Eve policies do not cover Marauders loss by multiboxx gankers. This policy covers all ships lost to ganks, ganks are normal gameplay and do not get reimbursed > I would create a policy that every Marauder ganked explode 100% May i suggest killing the enemy or fitting in a way that reduces either the chance of being targeted for a gank, or that will actively help you survive it, instead of putting forward a suggestion that punishes players for playing the game > It’s the complete failure of CCP-Fenrir policies used to “equilibrate” the game in the past 5 years or so. There are no policies to “equilibrate” the game, there are policies about reimbursements due to bugs and server issues, and there are policies about banning people who break rules, thats about it > The final result of current CSM is the following: You seem to be under the impression that the CSM set any policies for reimbursement or bans, they don’t > [@Dark\_Lord\_Trump](#): > > Marauders weren’t nerfed because of multibox gankers. They were nerfed because they were too effective in fleets, and ironically in large part because of pochven multiboxers using them. This is incorrect, Pochven had no bearing on Marauders using the role bonus, speaking as the CSM who worked with FC on Pochven we literally found out about the marauder nerf the day that the patch notes were ready Marauders lost the role bonus because they never actually should have had the role bonus in the first place, and the same thing applies to the blackops ships The role bonus was specifically campaigned for by another CSM, @Stitch_Kaneland , who specifically campaigned for it to be put on T1 battleships only as a way to bridge the gap between ships of the same weight class, as back then the T1 battleships were so expensive that there was no real reason to use them over other battleships For whatever reason this ended up being applied to the T2 battleships aswell, which has now been corrected I will also add that ganking is a mathematical equation for gankers, they scan your ship to determine your ship and know exactly what ships to bring to deal with it, a role bonus to marauders did not change that, and it certainly wouldnt have changed the outcome for your golem that used T2 multispecs and a single LSE [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/rich-poor-gap-widen-eve-policies-driven-by-rich-csm-agenda/515596.md?page=2)
