No, chances are people grind up standing, and then burn it trolling people and killing them, until they run out of standing. This happens ALL the time in EVE with Concord Security Status. It's part of New Eden, it's raw, ****** up, and free. If you don't like being team killed, don't play Faction Warfare.

Being a Carebear is fine, I do it in EVE all the time, but don't complain because the system doesn't cater to your desire for risk-free gameplay in FacWar.

What is this risk-free **** you keep going on about... This isn't Eve, it's a fecking team/strategy/shooter (or it was supposed to be something like that) where is dickheads not playing the game as intended a worthwhile risk? Should I start teamkilling for ***** and giggles? apparently you seem to think this should be part of everyones time.

Yes in Eve you can troll people, steal **** and basically be a **** to everyone, because that is part of the game. In this people are just being ****** for the sake of it... What I'm suggesting doesn't stop people from being able to chose to screw their team over and force them to stop being ******** little twats, it just evens the playing field so that people actually trying to play the game can do something.

It's not part of everyone's time, it's only part of Faction Warfare and PC. If you want to avoid dickheads, don't play in those game modes. And people are assholes just for the same of being an *** in EVE. Gank someone's ship? Get salvage, profit. But what if you pod them and destory their expensive clone? You get literally nothing out of it. People do it solely for the lulz and to be an *****. That's part of the game. I'd argue that the freedom to screw your team over and cause chaos IS part of the game, so if you don't want that to be part of YOUR game, then don't play FacWar and PC.

I'm 100% for eve lore being in dust for immersion , but not when it starts to dictate gameplay mechanics/functionality, ruining the overall experience for everyone. yes i went there and I don't care i'm a forum warrior for dust not eve It's not even about EVE, it's about the fact that by going into a game mode with higher rewards, the risk of losing more is higher. Game mechanics exist to discourage excessive griefing, but if you don't like that, then don't play in those game modes. I consider dealing with griefers PART of the experience and functionality of the game mode. The thrill of not knowing if the guy next to me is going to shoot me in the back or not while I hack. That's all part of the experience for me, so to take that away just turns it into another pub match.
