Classic Lucas Kell, ignore the explanation of why your position is nonsense and provide no explanation for how an inexperienced player gets billions of ISK without RMTing.
Because it included things you want. First off it didn’t include ganking as we were discussing wardecs, plus int wend hand in hand with removing war structure requirements.
Well yes, an idea I proposed had things I want. Shocking how that works. But that’s entirely separate from me having personal benefit from the idea.
And yes, it did include ganking. A literal 100% immunity to all combat PvP would make it impossible to suicide gank newbies. And one of the conditions I put on the immunity, locking the safety to green unless the player voluntarily ends their immunity early with a cooldown timer before it takes effect, was specifically in response to concerns about suicide gankers using immunity to attack to get into position without being vulnerable to counter-ganking.
It’s strange that you claim to not be a highseccer yet you bang on to no end about highsec.
It’s not my fault whiny highsec players keep making threads with stupid ideas for highsec. Perhaps you should go read the AFK cloaking thread if you need to see some balance in my hatred of farmer trash?
What stops you from breaking it down and afking it anyway?
Nothing. I didn’t say it was impossible to move the cargo, I said that your no-combat-PvP proposal would make it easier to do so. Moving an unlimited value of cargo in a single AFK trip is indisputably easier than having to coordinate multiple AFK trips of smaller value, especially since doing multiple trips requires a non-AFK period in between each trip while doing it in a single trip allows you to walk away and come back to the entire value at its destination.
That’s not the only risk
Lolwut? What exactly is the risk to a highsec bot? The NPCs?
stating that botting would have some huge rise if ganking didn’t exist
Stop lying. I never said it would be a huge risk, I disagreed with your statement that removing suicide ganking would not encourage botting.
As for your whining about evidence, I expect you to apply the same standards to yourself and retract your claim that removing suicide ganking would not encourage botting. After all, if there is no evidence then you don’t have any evidence and you are no longer permitted to talk about the subject.
(Oh wait, the demand for inaccessible evidence only applies to other people, not you.)
Citation needed. If mining existed in isolation, a game where you just zap rocks and stockpile ore in single player, what would the mechanic be?
What citation do you need? It’s literally the meaning of the words “player”, “versus”, and “environment”. Do you honestly need me to copy some dictionary definitions because you are unable to find them yourself?
And a “game” where you just press the “mine rocks” button and passively watch the amount of ore you have obtained increase would not be a game at all. It would be an activity, but not a game.
False, you’ve made your position clear.
I have made my position clear. I have stated explicitly that it is not the position you accuse me of holding. Now stop posting idiotic straw man arguments.
You don’t have to engage in any of that.
Sure. You are not held at gunpoint and forced to engage with the core parts of EVE. You are free to do anything you want. You can even pay $15/month to sit in station and spin your ship. But you and I both know that CCP does not consider “people who never undock and just spin their ship all day” a target market for EVE.
The fact that some people who are not interested in the core parts of EVE will play EVE anyway is a nice bonus for CCP, and they’ll happily harvest subscription fees from these people until they quit. But it doesn’t change the fact that EVE is a game of competitive capitalism and empire building, not of passive AFK farming where other players are banned from interfering.
How did I miss the point considering the fact that I answered it? You even quoted me saying “they are paying to be entertained”.
You didn’t answer a thing. You said they are being entertained, you offered no explanation for why they are paying for the entertainment when CCP gives it to them for free. Is your theory that people are so entertained that they give CCP $15 purely as a charitable contribution?
What is this based on?
The obvious fact that you can’t use most of the benefits of an omega subscription until you are no longer a newbie? The fact that most people don’t pay immediately for something when there is a free trial they can use? What’s next, demanding evidence for the claim that people don’t say “no thanks, I’d rather pay full price right now” when Amazon offers them a free 30 days of Prime?
