Hey i registered for this thread but be active in forums from now on
I play the game like 3 months now and haven't been in space yet and i did no PvP.
I like PvP and i played alot of MMOS and played alot of PvP.
Therefore i have some idea what PvP generally means and i know how people play PvP.
I've read this entire thread, it's very interesting.
BUT WHAT THE HELL!!!
Never heard of PvP issues like this in any other game, this whole story is absolutely ridiciolous in my opinion.
Xane is surely in the right here, even if it pisses others of and pirates are scum and blahblah.
You do PvP in EU and you have to justify yourself? I mean, in a PvP zone where everyone who goes there knows that there is PvP and that you will be looted? It really sucks to lose your stuff but it's a PvP zone where all agree to go....
Also the word "Harassment"... even if someone does a bit of camping or unmoral things... thats just normal for PvP, is it not? Camping someone who can't go somewhere else and is really stuck and has no other option for hours - that is harassment.
Not a bit waiting at a respawn.
And as i understand, nobody forces you to use space.
I understand the problem that one want to use space and that some people bought stuff like big ships in space but all people knew the PvP thing i think. Also that space seems to be in Alpha stage forever and don'T get updates.
The one to punish here is not the pirate in a PvP zone (except he really uses exploits) but the developer of this whole thing.
Space seems to be absolutely unbalanced and undeveloped... To make it lootable PvP in such a state is just stupid and can only make people unhappy and angry.
Seems to me that the whole PvP system in EU, not just space is totally stupid and useless, it just don't fit to the RCE system.
PvP just needs a huge overhaul, also space.
MA could just disable lootable PvP or even whole PvP until they come up with a new system. Is there a statistic somewhere how many people are happy with PvP or how many even play it like it is? The absolute minority i think so time for an overhaul.
Treat players like mobs, introduce battlegrounds where everyone gets a score at the end, dependent on damage, heal or other stuff and then give em lootboxes or something like that.
PvP should be one of many core mechanics in a modern MMO, even if it is an RCE. Just think about how many more people would play EU if it had a nice PvP system.
I also want to do PvP but just shooting random players for fun without any other reason doesn't fit to an RCE where you just throw your money away at an opponent.
Nobody would do Hunting or mining if you get no loot and just skills. Or would you go kill eomons where you get no loot?
Sorry i know much offtopic and much too long post ,)
OP is definately in the right here and it is a joke that you can make a support case if someone PvPs you in a PvP zone and even have him banned.
Also that Xane has to justify and explain himself for doing PvP in a PVP zone to the support
Never heard of anything like this in my whole 15 years MMOs.
