Already commented on Sugar's blog. No, I'm just a player who finally had enough with the paranoia and the drama.

This as one of those idea’s that is like ...No prob! This as one of those idea’s that is like a paper clip, something so simple that once you SEE one your first thought is DAMN! how obvious!<br /><br />The only area of the game that is not under CONCORDs eye is Wormhole Space (W-space, which the Sleepers called, Anoikis). ALL other spaces (Hi, Low and Null) in the game have the Jump Gate system and either (NPC) Stations or (Player Owned) Outposts. All of the Stations and Outposts are networked together by the Jump Gate system, this is called the NEOCOMM network. The NEOCOMM and all Jump Gates are run by CONCORD.<br /><br />As Anoikis (Negative Security Space) has neither jump Gates, Stations or Outposts (POS’s only) CONCORD ‘cannot’ have any idea of what goes on there and as such ‘cannot’ levy either fines or punishments nor give credit when due for any activities in Anoikis good or bad.<br /><br />As for the whole rest of New Eden, I feel strongly that your idea of a balanced, both negative and positive, sec stat change for PvP is one of the best idea’s I have heard in a long long time…<br /><br />BTW... Your last post was over a year ago... why aren't you bloggin anymore? Seems like you have a lot to offer the community.Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-78479390441065142812014-08-21T20:14:01.241-04:002014-08-21T20:14:01.241-04:00Thanks for linking back to my article!

It's nice to see how much support there is for the idea and that so many players are interested in playstyles other than "the villain".<br /><br />Since I only play in lowsec (and hisec still, occasionally), my perspective on mechanic changes is really pretty limited to those areas. However, I think you're correct that security status should not be impacted either way in those areas; if they are truly lawless or remote then CONCORD should not be able to watch over anyone's shoulder, as it were.<br /><br />Great addition to the conversation. Thanks for taking the time. :)Sakaane Eionellhttp://solitarypilot.incyanity.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-70058251535877324132014-08-20T16:20:37.387-04:002014-08-20T16:20:37.387-04:00LOL 'tin-foil sombrero'... love it. And ac...LOL 'tin-foil sombrero'... love it. And actually, as far as Goons et al go, as I understand it "REAL" Goons are recruited primarily from the Something Awful forums... others have to be vouched for in-game and the rest are just scammed... not really sure how Noob Safe Zones would actually impact Goons... but they are gonna 'game' the game no matter what so IMHO, Goons meh.<br /><br />And agree completely about the cradle to grave missing the POINT of the game... Like Mittens said in <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/eve/spymaster/75" rel="nofollow">this</a> post, and I quote;<br /><br />“Rather than learning the basics alone in hisec, on their first day newbie goons podjump to deep nullsec. There, they are surrounded by their fellows, ushered into massive alliance warfleets, mentored by veteran players, and showered with isk and ships.”<br /><br />“A community-born player is able to entirely skip the dreaded ‘mining veld in a Bantam’ phase. Instead of a positive kill/death ratio, external communities place a greater value on enthusiasm and a willingness to die for the group.”<br /><br />“In practice, this means that Goons, Broskis and Redditors can be outright bastards to everyone else in the EVE - besides their allies, of course - and get away with it. The game’s normal culture of honor doesn’t apply…”<br /><br />Did you catch the important part...? He said, "The game’s NORMAL culture of honor doesn’t apply…” Even Mittens understand that for a huge number of rest of us (the majority IHMO)... some form of Honor is important to our gameplay... but NOT to Goons.<br /><br />'nuff said.<br /><br />OK and I too feel this is a far better balance of how Sec Stat should work AND I cannot see how it could fail to INCREASE PVP... which is, after all, CCPs primary goal in EVE.<br /><br />And thanx man... it's nice to feel missed. =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-61696462600453919002014-08-20T16:16:16.617-04:002014-08-20T16:16:16.617-04:00Yo Noob!!

She's my go-to blog nowadays... and one helluva lady! =]<br /><br />And yes, please let her know I'm am backing this one too! I wish she had taken a crack at the mechanic instead of the more over-all approach she took... but hey, she writes like you and me... for herself, not for any one person or group, ne? =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-49323326713350923252014-08-20T16:12:53.740-04:002014-08-20T16:12:53.740-04:00Problem with the all toons / all accounts thing is...Problem with the all toons / all accounts thing is tying them to the RL person and not making mistakes... No, for me it's enough to whack the offending Toon only. I love the PVP all-a-time and the OMG it's-effin-DANGEROUS-out-thar! life we live and die in EVE... I just want it balanced so both the Hero and the Villain have equal footing in the games basic mechanics. Skill and a bit of the old "L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!" should be the winning factors... not mechanics.<br /><br />And, well, before Tags for Sec, Sec status WAS a more real punishment... This change would up the ante so to speak... Yes, you can now buy you way back into highsec, but gettin blobbed by a group of do-gooders would force a change in tactics... all healthy and good for the game.<br /><br />Thank man... prolly still wont be on for a while, but I'm still here!Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-20387515454593319002014-08-20T11:48:17.527-04:002014-08-20T11:48:17.527-04:00"Lower status players killing Higher status p..."Lower status players killing Higher status players should LOSE Sec Stat;<br />Higher status players killing Lower status players should GAIN Sec Stat"<br /><br />Nice summary!

Maybe as a punishment for newb-killing, make it so that all characters that the offending player owns (across all of their accounts) get locked out of high-sec for a month enforced by CONCORD. And no cash transfers from other characters, still get bounties though. Make it a real punishment instead of giving a status symbol, muahaha.<br /><br />Baljos ArnjakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-89613029830568916662014-08-19T04:27:38.034-04:002014-08-19T04:27:38.034-04:00Bah.

They foster a false feeling of fear about New Eden as a whole, and actively discourages new players exploring different areas of space. And of course, when it comes time to leave the nest, there'll be the oh-so friendly null-sec recruiter, offering you a safe system protected by mighty Titan fleets. <br /><br />From cradle to grave, without ever experiencing the real wonders to explore in New Eden.<br /><br />(I'll put my tin-foil sombrero away now...)<br /><br />I'm in favour of the sec-changes proposed, particularly if it provides more stimulus to the Tags for Sec market. I'd like to have a different role to play other than militia dog or well-meaning but unfortunately a pirate by necessity.<br /><br />Nice to see you back Tur.
