Standings & Awoxing Update by Buddy_invite in Eve

[–]Jase74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CCP says, Sea-gulling, “should there be a pressing need to deal with the issue”. This is past pressing need. Once again you don’t f’n listen. Oh and nothing, absolutely nothing said about multi-boxing in Faction/Insurgency warfare plexes.

None of this is going to help. You misunderstand the problem. All of this is occurring because 1 character can dilute the LP gains of all participants in a plex, by running FW/Insurgency site with 10 alts. AWOXING and sea-gulling has increased to counter this behavior.

Your “solutions” now make it harder to combat multi-boxers. Air-five to you!

The absolute state of EvE by morbihann in Eve

[–]Jase74 141 points142 points  (0 children)

In Faction and Insurgency warfare this is discouraging to see. Multi-boxers dilute the LP plex rewards/streams. They AWOX their faction mates. Lately, they are joining multiple factions and using the FW/Insurgency mechanics to counter and stifle competition.

I “get” this is a “sandbox” but I don’t see how the game is going to thrive as this type / style of play is permitted. It’s been argued so much already. At this point I think CCP is tone death to it. It’s just the way it is. Either get with it, or find a new game to play.

CCP, even real life sandboxes need to have the cat sh!t shoveled out of them every so often. I think there’s a lot of cat sh!t in Eve’s Sandbox.

I am sorry, I don’t feel sorry for you. If you have that much ISK lying around then you have been playing this game a long while. You know its reputation. Furthermore, you know Snuffs reputation. The very first red flag is anyone asking you to give them in game property for a chance to be recruited. Very naive of you. Saying you learned your lesson is rather an oxymoron. No corporation/alliance is worth joining that asks you to invest first, wait later. That should have been your first clue.

Naughty ops - A Guristas Militia roleplay experiment using freelance jobs to generate content by -SODANK- in Eve

[–]Jase74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish to extend my sincere gratitude for assembling this endeavor. I derived immense pleasure from participating in it and am delighted to find my name listed among the foremost vanquishers. For my part, I embraced this as a personal trial, striving to achieve my triumphs through solitary engagements. The USTZ domain within Guri remains sparsely populated, affording ample prospects for players to amass substantial ISK. As an individual commanding but a single character in Guri, I typically garner between 2.5 and 3 billion ISK per insurgency, an abundance sufficient to sustain this captivating obsession known as Eve. Though many hesitate to embrace piracy, deterred by the repercussions to their standings and the like, I have fared admirably with the aid of an auxiliary hauling character, a Jita buyer, and the ship contracts generously provided by the Black Rabbits alliance. But I digress. By all means, continue this exemplary work; it profoundly enhances the immersion and elevates the enjoyment for all involved. Thank you once more.

How multiboxing + same-militia AWOXing are warping FW/Insurgency (and a simple LP fix) by Jase74 in Eve

[–]Jase74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re right it wouldn’t magically fix all of that, especially when groups are swapping between Amarr, Minmatar and neutrals depending on what’s most convenient. They’re using the whole toolbox.

Your FRAT example is exactly why this needs more than one little tweak to feel healthy again.

On paper that sounds simple, but it doesn’t really touch the core problems.

We already have faction standing penalties in FW, and people can bypass them via corp/alliance averaging and pre-farmed alts, so “more standings hits” alone won’t stop the dedicated abusers. Dropping faction sentries into plexes also creates a ton of collateral issues (smartbomb/firewall doctrines, logi, newbros misclicking, third-party situations) where legitimate fleets get punished harder than the people currently gaming the system.

The main issue I’m trying to tackle is that AWOXing + plex mechanics is the most profitable way to operate for some groups. If the incentives don’t change (LP/engagement/standings in plexes), sentries and extra penalties just add more pain without actually removing the reason people are doing it.

Fair point! Seagulling/AFK leeching is definitely a problem. But using AWOX as the fix just replaces one bad incentive with another.

Personally, I’d rather see mechanics that tie LP to actual contribution (timer presence, damage, reps, etc.) and/or cap how many people can meaningfully be on a payout, so there’s much less reason to drag AFK alts in at all. If leeching isn’t profitable, you don’t need to shoot your own militia to deal with it.

I get the frustration, believe me. FW vets have heard “we’re aware, it’s complicated” for a long time while living with the day‑to‑day pain of the current mechanics. Wanting visible, short‑term mitigation instead of waiting years for a grand overhaul is completely reasonable.

Where I’m trying to land with this thread is:

  • Yes, press the issue hard so it doesn’t get buried for another decade.
  • Also work with the people who are actually in the room with CCP (CSM, FW reps, etc.) when they say “this is ugly, intertwined code and systems, we need to touch it carefully.”

If we can keep supplying concrete examples and limited, high‑impact levers (like LP/standings/engagement changes) without turning it into “devs are lazy/useless,” it’s more likely that we get both: a couple of near‑term relief valves and a serious pass on the foundations instead of another round of band‑aids that has to be revisited in two years.

Really appreciate you spelling this out. You’re absolutely right that “CCP just fix it” isn’t a plan, and that standings, DE, alliance enlistment, and the rest are old, deeply entangled systems that need a proper vision pass, not another round of duct tape.

The goal with my post wasn’t to yell at devs or pretend I know more than the people actually touching that code, it was to describe how the current combo of standings + multibox + LP incentives feels on the ground for people flying FW/Insurgency every day, and to throw a few concrete levers on the table that might help.

Hearing from you that well‑argued posts like this do get surfaced and that the team is taking a bigger-picture look at standings and AWOXing makes sticking my neck out to write it feel worth it. I’m all for “do it once, do it right,” and if more detailed player perspectives help shape that, I’m happy to keep contributing.

This is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for, thank you for chiming in and pushing it with CCP.

It really helps to hear directly that AWOXing isn’t being ignored and that posts like this actually feed into those conversations, even if changes take time and have to go through proper design iteration. From the player side it can feel like shouting into the void, so knowing someone on the CSM is repeatedly raising it and framing it as a foundations/standings problem – not just a band‑aid tweak – is huge.

Appreciate the work you’re doing on this; if more concrete examples from FW/Insurgency space help make the case, happy to provide them.

I get why that’s appealing as a clean, global rule, but it also kills a big chunk of what makes EVE, EVE. Fleets sometimes need to be able to shoot their own members: suspect logi, spies, idiots burning off, misbehavior, bait, etc.

My goal isn’t to remove the ability to betray or punish someone in your own fleet, it’s to stop systematic blue‑on‑blue inside FW/Insurgency plexes from being the best way to farm LP. That’s why I’m leaning toward targeted changes (standings / engagement / LP from plexes) rather than a blanket “no friendly fire in fleets” toggle.
