• • Why no real PvP in this game?

    It seems so obvious...

    
     Because, from what I've seen so far, open PvP always turns into a gank fest. I can see it now...Level 50's hanging around stone circles ganking people as they rez........oooh...wouldn't that be fun 0.o

    Until ANY mmo comes up with a way to prevent the abuse of full PvP systems, we'll never really have a REALISTIC system.

    You lost, you quit (hopfully), time to move on. Trolling the forums is not going to get you playing a game you like.

    words can't xplain how insane it is for new players to start.  you can read  all the fanboy threads.. but even fan boys will be hard to explain this simple logic.  This is what you are paying 14.99 for:

    More experience players can kill you anytime.  If they can't, they can do the following things:

    1. war'dec you (granted permission to kill you anywhere) 
    2. Sudicide attack, (attacking you at their lost)
    
    you can read all the explainations, justification, and EvE's "love me" threads.. but the bottom line, if someone want to kill you... THERE IS NOT THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.. what does is this mean? imagine you spent 1 mth working for cash to buy a nice shield, sword, armors and spells, but out of nowhere some more high level player just gank on you.  Once you are dead, all items are gone and so is your 1 mth hard labor!!

     

    it is your 14.99... you are more than welcome to throw it away.  EVE older players are looking for more noobs to kill.. please  be a victim!!!

     

    Well....In a way I can see what Hi-Five is saying...but I do have to agree that it's what EVE is all about. I dont understand how New players are at a disadvantage O.o More so as you progress in your skills and start to venture deeper into low-sec space.

    I played EVE for a year or so. When I first started playing I loved it! (my poor WoW account was just sitting there not being used) I loved the open style of it (Sandbox (?))

    I was freelance for awhile (NPC Corp), mostly interested in Mfg.. I tried some Player Corps. I Became a director in a Player Corp with several POS's and a pretty good Mining/Mfg. operation going.

    The game seemed pretty well balanced as far as Pirates V Miners.

    I was having a blast.(Only thing I missed was being able to exit my pod and walk around stations and planets) You actually had to THINK about what you were doing, plan your mining ops...and ALWAYS be prepared to warp out at the sight of danger.

    I think it was one of the best designed games out there!

    Then, what, about a year ago they nerf'd the WCS's and it was no longer a battle of whits to survive. They made it so Pirates had distinct advantages...and most notably, made it where running WCS's (Warp Core Stabilizers) gave major DISadvantages. Suddenly, with WCS's mounted, you couldnt hardly maneuver...it took forever to warp out of bad situations.

    It seemed to me that CCP was FORCING PvP.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed PvP in EVE. I was in a Corp that was War Dec'd. There is even a vid floating around out there of one of our epic battles...lol. Had some pretty good battles with Pirates. Won some/Lost some. I even struck up some pretty good OL friendships with some of the pirates and those we were at war with.

    Skill played a much bigger part before that patch. Suddenly you started seeing more peeps running around just giefing others making it almost impossible to solo mine...and there was too many times when there were no Corp members online and I NEEDED Mins now...not in 3-4 days.

    Anyway...having survived one mmo that I had invested years with totally nerf the game, I was gun shy and decided not to hang around while CCP changed EVE, forcing players into game play they may not want.

    Last I heard The Corp was dissolved, all but a few members have left EVE and moved on.

    When I left, I posted my reason to CCP and said I would gladly return if they would just fix the WCS's back to the way they were...giving me a fighting chance not to HAVE to fight in an unarmed miner.

    To my knowledge this still hasn't happened. Shame, really....had some good times O.o
