nullsec folks usually use haulers in alt corps anyway, even npc corps; at least the sensible ones.
You cant fix stupid i suspect stupid will always get caught out.
Industrial and PvE corps aswell as lowsec, wormhole and border groups are the ones most likely to benefit from ‘system’ type abuse though probably just indy corps that will probably be using goon structures.
Newbro and alpha type corps will benefit which is the intended target i guess (certainly nubcorps) but these are unlikely to actually attempt to work around the wardeck system, mostly just want to play casually or get a good start before moving on.
Tbh most indy dudes either dont play during decs or simply rejoin npc corp so i guess they will remain largely unaffected i guess?
Selective memory? This ‘mess’ actually started under CCP Seagull’s tenure with the changes to the ‘buddylist’. When CCP Seagull started, EvE had been growing each year, sure it had problems, but you could look at it’s player base and see it’s great strength. It boasted high numbers of long standing players, solid growth, good income and much better balance. Her focus wasn’t on PvP, it was on SOV Null.
5 years later, Capital proliferation, a player base approximately 50% size, other areas of space neglected, apparently severe problems recruiting and retaining new players - all of this can trace it’s roots back to CCP Seagull’s tenure. If you ask me, CCP should have fired her 3 years ago when the pattern of her failure was clear.
My point is, Seagull never gave up the sandbox idea. The first thing what the new guy did, was giving up the sandbox and creating instanced PvE. This is the line I’m speaking about, this is a change in mindset towards randomness.
The new leadership has a very big problem to solve. Structures, and how they are strangling any conflict but the big super clashes. But this will only work if you see conflict as something good.
How do the benefit? Most use in alliance freighters and we still kill them. If they use a corp without structure, also no big deal, as they could have done that before with a NPC corp. Now we have the sneaky way and just transfer a poco to them, war dec them and kill them. Or gank them without warning.
I’m not buying in any artificial lore. Abyssal systems don’t even have a meaningful structure as a solar system in some space, they are just randomly generated dungeons with paintings on the wall.
The sole reason why Abyss was created is to be able to ignore the sandbox and develop cool stuff. A game inside a game, with the lowest amount of interaction as possible. At the end of this road, New Eden will be just a waiting room for a lot of these games inside the “game”.
I can, and I do - she was in charge. In my line of work, if you’re responsible then everything good that happens and everything bad that happens is your fault. That’s what being responsible is all about. If you refuse to take responsibility for results (good or bad) you have no business trying to be a leader.
CCP Seagull’s biggest failure was going away from the ‘sandbox’ concept. She tried to get people to play the game the way she thought it should be played (being in SOV Null). By nerfing other areas, and boosting Null to obscene levels, sure she got many more people out there - but she gutted/neglected the other areas of EvE in the process. People who did not want to play the game ‘her way’ made their choice and a great many of them left forever. Her failure was going away from the ‘sandbox’ concept, not allowing players their choice by making any choice but ‘her choice’ decidedly second rate. Good riddance.
Does this only apply to a corp holding assets in high sec or is it any structure in any space? My understanding is any structure, anywhere, but I could be wrong.
It’s a worrying trend to me. We have a ‘temporary fix’ for this, a ‘temporary fix’ whislt they see how the ECM change works out. Who has confidence in these being addressed fully any time soon?
I dont have evidence, certainly not on this computer; just my word - which to be fair is basically the only thing i have even in rl.
MY WORD IS MY BOND
but this is eve so no one believes anything anyone says
i suspect stupid will always get caught out.
