You might not find it an issue, but in Powerplay it is a big issue, when haulers can block enemy PvPers, or enemy PvPers can block the other side combat PvPers so they can prey on haulers without having to actually get into fights, just bad sportsmanship. It is such a bad system, that only cater to one style of playing and punish all the others.
Baaaaahhhhhhaaaahahahahahaha This made my day, Only caters for one style of playing....hahahhahahahahaha - I tell you what, why don't you make yourself feel better and superior again, go to the Eve online forum and feast on carebear tears where you can quote "This is how the game is, get used to it" well, in THIS game anybody that wants to play without getting ganked can (they will still get killed BUT, they can go out into the black, interact with other players and NOT worry about getting ganked over and over by a griefer. If all PVPers were like you suggest there would be no need for this change, the truth is plenty of people don't play like you suggest, now the people that don't want to do PVP can play in open and interact with the multitude and avoid people that simply wish to gank - to me its an AWESOME change and about time, PVPers want it all their own way - tough, get used to it, but seriously thankyou very very much, your post so much reminded me of old Eve posts from the other side trying to get some part of Eve where people could carebear of that's what they wanted to do but being shot down from all the PVPers - it is sooooo nice seeing the boot on the other foot in a much better game
"Now griefers can easily just block all PvPers who are trying to protect casual CMDRs from being ganked" - Or, casual CMDRs can just block ALL PVPers and get on with their lives - thanks, we dont need or want protection, we just dont want to PVP, now the game also caters for none pvpers in Open so we dont have to hide like hermits in an MMO - this is the best change by far, well done, superb change
