A conversation, led by the literary pugilist Poetic Stanziel and fiction champion Rhavas, has been rumbling in the bowels of the blogosphere for a few days now. Due to popular demand, for posterity and for the attentions of CCP Sisyphus of Team
"The local chat channel provides EVE players with an instant source of intel of who is in the system. With a quick glance you can tell who is in system and what your standings are to them. War targets, hated enemies, friends and corp mates all stand out clearly. Is this right? Should we have access to this intel for free with no work or effort? Should the Local chat channel even exist? Should normal space be more like wormhole space where the Local channel appears empty until someone speaks?"
So there you have it. Banter On.

My thoughts: Intel Gathering
ReplyDeleteAdded complexity and possibly extra skills to train? Most changes proposed will just make it that much harder on new players. And that much easier on larger Null-bear alliances.
ReplyDeleteCount me in the 'leave it alone' camp.
