The amount of accounts multi-boxed should be dependent on how many accounts that person can keep watch over constantly, things like tether is just increasing this limit for people to the point where they can’t keep track anymore and if they can’t keep track people need to be able to exploit it through pvp imo.
Of the ganking nerfs since then, my memory isn’t the best, but what I recall is:
Damage Control tiericide (around the same time as the Citadel expansion I think)
Bumping mechanics change to include 3 min warp timer
Mining ship rebalance
What other nerfs have there been? (Not saying there hasn’t been, it just seems like as far as ganking related changes go, the mechanics have been relatively stable for a while).
Ganking is done by a small minority of the game population. Therefore we can logically assume it affects barely anyone. Therefore we can logically assume that barely anyone cares…
I will say that low sec mining might be a bit boring with peeps docked at stations rather than roaming…
I moved over 1.5 bn worth of stuff between stations today and didn’t see a single ganker in several trips back and forth. Not a single person waiting at any gate. No red status people. Nothing. People whine here as if gankers are round every corner…but in fact most of Eve is ganker free most of the time.
The real question is: if we get rid of tethering then should we get rid of the faction police at the same time? Without faction police, gankers will have opportunities to get sloppy while undocked in space, which would give the anti-gankers better opportunities to fight back against the gankers in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Faction Police is this unreal thing I wish removed from all grids around player stations and pocos, at least 350 km radius around those
Some low inteligence members of this forum say that the police has some wizardly things, like super modern scanners and sensors
Well, if they have such magical Minority Report capabilities then why don’t they dock the station and arrest me?
Shoot me while I am in the station just spinning the ship with my mouse while chatting with others
People’s reasons for Faction Police existing around stations and pocos are just poor justiications and I started talking about removing them since before the tether change
(tbh, it appears that CCP has leaks since some voiceful antiankers previously received information about the update or antigwankers were feeding such bad ideas to the devs, or they are the same people)
I remember this, this is in the back of my head for years, tether removal is the hauler’s wet dream, those null boys with ±15 freighters flying around highsec
