EVE General Discussion

Your opinion, one I, and many others do not agree with. Also how do you justify equating bumping pixels against pixels to forced sexual penetration of another person? Isn't that rather insensitive for a person who claims concern and worry over others?



Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the capsuleers!

We used to make income with ransoming, piracy in general, etc. That was until most of EVE space became 1.0 with slightly tougher belt rats. The tear harvesting market has changed over the years and as such, we pirates, privateers and scoundrels have had to change with it. We are simply following good sense by adjusting the way we do business.

What is the point of even playing EVE online if you are not really playing at all? Did you ever think of the people who actually do play and how they think and feel when they actually put time and effort into something for months and years only to see some script running AFK mining trash not even playing the game get the same and more from the game?

Poor argument is poor as the proverbial coin may easily be flipped on such situations. What are you trying to say here? That we are all members of the US Republican Party as well? What a silly argument. Also a pointless argument.



I would argue that bumping an ransoming is just as legitimate as any other play style by using your logic above. Another poor assumption; that simply because a person enjoys or sees fit to partake in a certain aspect of the game they must have no life. Old failed argument is old.



If you tried to understand why this happens clearly you failed. There are a myriad of reasons why this happens. I know that one carebear trash associate I know of that is a miner bumps miners who she thinks are AFK/BOTS because she sees them as annoying toolbags who don't really put any effort into the game. Oxygen thieves if you will, sucking up rocks and flooding the markets with zero risk and zero time invested.





Yarrr!!!

I grant you that's another potentially positve outcome from all this.



The GMs quite rightly spank griefers. You should petition if you have been griefed, but I would personally prefer you don't clog up the system with complaints about EULA-permissible activities, such as bumping.

True story. I only joined in the fun after I saw thsi thread.

Don't act like that was the most original idea ever:

Now onto the topic.

Simple sollution. Make a high slot module that puts up a bubble around you that no other ship can enter. Takes cap to use, and takes a massive amount of cpu. Price of ore will go up because less will be able to be mined because of different fits, and you bumpers can bump the people that deside not to put one on (90% of em don't fit a tank, why would they put this on?). Now there is a counter, so they can't whine anymore, and when they do, you can just do the same thing any low/null sec ganker does when a barge they destroy didn't have a tank. Call them a noob, laugh at them when they whine, and move on.

EDIT: Put the module on a titan, then lol as ships have to fly all the way around you (bubble is porportional to ship size).

You really think CCP will leave them out in the cold that long?

These are MINERS you're talking about. I wouldn't think it takes them that long to think of a hamfisted way to nerf bumpers.

...

Let me go get some Inferno Torpedos, gonna need some fire to deal with this.

Miners make me think of piglets because of the squealing! Make me wonder if miners would make good bacon?

This. Collision damage would not only be more realistic, it would be a good agro trigger.

I would also make the Iteron useful... that big hammerhead-styled front looks dangerous sometimes

Subjective Grief Play description ....
Even the Specific is just an example.




Theres a lot of room in that paragraph for indiscrete interpretation ... something that some people tend to abuse.

We've already been over the various mechanics there are to defend/retaliate against it. When you say there is no mechanic to counter it, what you really mean is "there is no mechanic that I am willing to spend the isk or effort on". There's a big difference.
