Guys, you forget that he's not suggesting negative votes only positive votes.

What he said wasn't abusive, but his "idea" is quite simply a lie.

I also remember the testing rules of "report exploits instead of using them. People who use exploits may have their progress reset."

Perhaps eco sandboxes get more review bombed than single account games, i dunno, I haven't payed much attention to such games. I do remember that around the time we were hit by the SORRY review bomb there was also a lot of blogging and discussion about a review bomb over at PUBG, so it seems single account games aren't safe either. In the face of review bombing and reviews as a tool to get back at devs I am completely unashamed of my postive alt reviews. All this has taught me that negative reviews are the most unreliable and positive reviews with caveats are the most informative. In my opinion, of course.

Lol. I can actually keep two thoughts in my head at the same time. I have always wanted pvp-on-demand but I've never wanted to dismantle OW with such content. Yet again I'm dumbfounded by the fact that an arena guy is fighting for true OW while OW fans would throw it under the bus for moar PvP.

So you want to diminish the importance of wind in this sailing game?

Her HP is based on displacement just like all the other ships.

To my knowledge the only thing that gives you a better chance at special ships is crafting in a capturable port. This might change a little too a lot in upcoming patch.

How dare you ruin the anti-DLC narrative!? Are you an arena degenerate too?

You're right if those condition exist. Your example won't ever happen as all big RvR fleets with supporting screeners will be mixed. Find me a nation or clan without alts and I'll start caring about eco subversive DLC power. I thought you liked investing time in eco activities? I never wanted to invest time in secondary activities so I acutely feel the pain in lost grinding time. You'll never get me aboard the idea that everyone must suffer equally. You want eco sandbox, go suffer quietly.

Oh, my sweet summer child...

It's beneath anyone who can add two and two together to be so trite.

Yup, I'm sure 99% of players want to build gold ships exclusively.

You've never played WoT, WoWS or WT have you? I'm not even sure I see what you're getting at...

No coincidence at all. Of all those qualities you list I'm only interested in one: PvP, and when combat mechanics in EvE are what they are, there is absolutely no reason for me to play. I'm sure EvE is a fantastic game for those so inclined. The reason why I often take the bait in these discussions is because many posters desperately push the "arena will fail" idea. I know why so I try to refrain from even commenting. This is not that day. We can do the pissing contest. NA OW was great/is great/will become great. NA combat mechanics are however better suited for PvP-on-demand gameplay and the recruitment pool is, by orders of magnitudes, larger.

A bit of eye and hand coordination, sure, but it's not a ping and refresh rate exercise.

You know how I am a dreamer bordering on sheer stupidity...

True. PZs are ostensibly made for me. I used to do PZ's exclusively during their early days. The old "gank-or be ganked" mentality quickly took hold of PZ and my interest waned. I'm not really that hot for medals, I want fun fights more than anything. It takes me seconds to craft a better ship. Cannons cost roughly half the ship. When I craft a ship I do it so cheaply I get more than the cost back. I lose only a small portion of the gun crafting cost. If I take a DLC out and lose it I lose the full cost of the guns because there is no insurance for DLC ships. I already told you I'm more than fine with spending 5-10 min. each week. It will be less after port investment. But I explained how insurance is great for me because I craft on a budget; I get almost everything back and have no need to grind cash. Have all the ships, haven't used them yet because they cost me more reals. I've used crafted ships exclusively. Like I said I did PZs a lot, but have almost stopped. I've been sitting inside the solo PZ with Diana, frigate and cerb. Noone would tag. I've had a bit of fun in the Nassau solo zone, but I lost my last Niag a few weeks ago trying to get out. Without rewards for the loser I fear solo PZ will become a fake feature, I may sit there because I know I get everything back if I lose the ship, but people prefer the gank zones in the hope they end up on the strong side + some rewards even if they end up on the weak side. I've done a tiny bit of OW hunting as well. Me and Laik hunted for an hour in the general area around Navasse without finding anything, as we were heading back to LT we ran into a herc we smashed out of boredom. I've also hunted solo in a cerb. I figured anyone would engage me in such a shitty ship. A brit req ran away but I was finally able to sink a Prussian Indiaman before I gave up on the cerb experiment. Nobody came for a full 90 minutes. I don't care about reals. I just take great care so I don't ever (hopefully) have to go grind reals.

I think you're on to something. The fear isn't always rational, but the problem of perception annoyingly remains despite logic. But are you surprised? Arena airheads get tired of the ganking which makes us lose ships and run out of ship tows. Ganking isn't fun and no tows is a showstopper. 1v1 zone is without rewards for the loser because of farmers. PZ is gank-zones because of sandbox and faction based fear of griefing (refer to admin's posts on the subject).

YES! Sure, I'm probably a unique fool on the hill. This is a big subject that I tried to process in another topic. You can't put that on me. I'm just one weirdo with an opinion. If my opinion dominates it's because of all the other dudes who share my opinion, I don't know how many we are but we're always told we're an insignificant poot in the statistical universe. And I approve of you fighting for it.

No, not at all. Let's see if I'm able to explain... Yes. I am someone who likes to play against people exclusively. I have limited patience with anything and everything that is not pure PvP and I seek to avoid it as hard as I can. I have done a lot of crafting in order to have all kinds of fighting equipment available to me. I've used alts so that it has only taken me about 5-10 minutes each week to get more stuff than I need to craft whatever I want. Things are a bit different now. I no longer have access to whatever I want but I'm kinda numbed into accepting that I will have to do with oak/oak ships mostly without meta mods. I have all the prem ships and I will use them from time to time, but I lose more cash when I lose prems than when I lose my shitty crafted ships. Own crafted ships will be my main workhorses so that I avoid having to go out and get reals. I know that I can go out and print reals but I'd rather take up knitting or something. WAY too expensive and they're usually worse than own crafted oak/oak ships which are significantly less expensive in my setup. The selection is rather poor and it's a no-go for me to sail around looking for an almost decent ship. Nothing is more unreasonably expensive than buying ships from crafters. Reals and doubloons is what I lack the most due to my PvE aversion. My crafting setup allows me to make ships for almost nothing and I occasionally help out fellow PvPers by giving them ships just as I have been given ships by other PVPers for free. Capping bots is just like buying from admiralty. I exchange my time for a ship that is usually worse than those I craft myself in no time. Doran recently gave me two Russian player ships he capped, so capping ships from players is indeed viable. (I crafted a bunch of endys to fill his docks before the changes hit) I want the impossible, but I need the PvP/PvE ratio to be extremely high and I struggle with motivation in consequence. I'm getting along (using alts) just fine without it, but I welcome anything that allows me to save additional time. Except for rare woods it will be just as quick for me to click out a crafted ship as it is to click out a prem ship.

Ah, I should check that out. Thanks for the tip!

It's not, though I appreciate the effort to include me in the grand eco scheme. You play EVE so I fully understand why you fight for eco. I've given a very wide berth to EVE, not because of spaceships but because that game is a near perfect example of eco gameplay.

Yea, that was unfair. I lobbed you in with with the DLC whiners.
