Again, it doesn’t matter how much the ore in Exordium is worth. If players can mine and make ISK in 100% safety, they are going to do exactly that. Even if the amount is much smaller than in areas of high sec, that is still billions of ISK being created daily with absolutely zero loss…
Just ask players of EVE Echoes where that ends up, especially if the concept of Exordium and “safe spaces” gets expanded at some point…
not really
Most will want to venture out into the real world.
Stop fretting.
No, they won’t. Most EVE players live in High sec. Do they want to venture out into the “real world” of low and null? Nope. So, if you create an area for them that is even safer than high sec, that is where they are going to go…
I really doubt that.
How long have you been playing?
If I offered you a job that pays $100 dollars an hour, but there is the chance of you getting shot at and killed every single day, or $10 dollars an hour but you get to earn it in perfect safety 24/7 for eternity, which do you think most are going to choose?
Over 20 years. It’s a well-known fact. Most players live in high sec, and of those, most live in Caldari space.
Fine let’s teach new Capsuleers that it takes over an hour to create an undock bookmark as the only propulsion allowed is an afterburner.
This has been a bizarre discussion (not just this thread). I say FC won’t have time to police Exordium - everyone insists otherwise. When I say anything extracted from the “safe” zone will be a drop in the bucket - everyone says, well - this is the tip of the iceberg. Then I point out that FC will supposedly police this. And we’re back to square one again…
No need for undock bookmarks in Exordium as you can’t be bumped or killed anyway…
And it is. As we have seen many times over the years, give 'em an inch and they’ll take a mile…
Well $10/hour is an unlivable wage, so ofc I would go for the $100/hr one (and have done it for less).
I think the biggest mistake wasn’t Exordium - but pumping all this time, money and resources into Frontier and Vanguard. To the tune of probably $50-$70m…
Am I an immortal clone in a video game played by a person who has a job and a mortgage and responsibilities and finite time to log into the video game?
Your thesis is basically, “People don’t value their time at all, actually,” and that is obviously untrue.
Bumping - nerfed
Ganking - nerfed
Cloaky Camping - nerfed
And now we have safe spaces. Like I said, give’ em an inch and they’ll take a mile. So yes, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Once you give in, they will want even more…
Can I wear a bulletproof vest? 
Please, not the cloaky thing again…
You understand my point though. They keep caving to the whiners and, eventually, when they have caved enough times EVE will no longer be EVE. It’s already well on it’s way…
I am all for more PvP interaction. Right now it consists of scams, some form of seal clubbing, ganking or blobbing…
There’s a reason most players stay in high-sec…
Yet it’s still effectively the same game 20+ years later, just different people playing. Even all these small changes (called balancing) hasn’t been enough to fundamentally change the game.
