You keep quoting this, it’s not accurate, that’s the number of people who only want to pvp it does not include the majority of people who want to both pvp and pve.

There’s a reason you think that “PVP was pampered for 20 years” and that is because this is a PvP game.

I only play this game because you can break into other people’s dungeons and steal their stuff. That is the selling point of EvE, and aside from that it’s a pretty average game, with no real story, deep but meaningless lore, and average gameplay.

The only reason EvE is still going after 20 years is because “PVP is pampered”, if they stop doing that then the game will die.

If there was no PvP or ganking in high sec you end up with EVE Echoes, where ship and module prices are hyperinflated and ores are all but worthless…

This thread reminds me of the one where people complained that you can’t blow up ships that are docked in stations. 🙂

That’s so someone else can warp to them and attack them. You see, this is a PvP game, and PvE is used as bait to lure carebears into PvP.

Outrageous isn’t it.

This is what Walking in Stations should have been; where you go break into other players hangers and blow up their ships in there.

I’d join null sec alliances just to cozy up until i could walk in structures and blow up their capital ships!

Clearly there would need to be a timer mechanism, like with structure timers, and then some kind of FPS, or beat’em’up gameplay, where teams would attack/defend the hanger doors or somesuch.

Imagine a player was actually in the game and that happened to their ship. They come back to their hanger just to see bits of their ship’s hull scattered across the hanger… 0\_o

Don’t believe the rumours and fear mongering. A lot of innocent people are getting wrongly labelled as a ‘ganker’.
