EVE General Discussion

Again, notice the posters after the OP.

What is more likely...that the OP is legit or that it is an alt of one of the people so quick to post after the OP?

Alavaria Fera - What do you think about this?

Indeed. As an obvious spreadsheet nerd, it annoys me. But having many different player mentalities is what makes EVE so unique and fun...at least for me.

clearly a stealth nerf afk cloaking thread

Transitionary periods right after every major patch are to be expected and planned for, or at the very least, avoided.
Post transitionary period, if something is not profitable enough, less people will do it, until it becomes profitable again, almost exactly as profitable as before the patch, with a few exceptions every now and then, but seldom major ones.
Basically, nothing really changes all that much as long as you ride out the bumpy post-patch period (if you would have been cunning and "on the ball" enough, you could have made a tidy profit just from those bumps themselves).

CCP doesn't "set" your profitability - the mass actions of you and all other players do that just fine.
CCP merely tweak the ratios which allow more or less people to participate at a certain profitability level, no more, no less.

Why bother with anything? All happiness is fleeting and we live in an uncaring universe devoid of purpose and meaning, children of a dead god.

I understand the charm of making stuff, i do.
I ran a hisec pos for research and copying. Fueled the damn thing with PI from 9 jumps away in an 0.9 system. Actually made labs from PI scratch, took ages. Did the numbers, pretty much worked out to doing it at a loss. Null PI is so fat you can't see around it.

I understand the charm of breaking stuff, i do.
From tactics that let me drop a thrasher in range of a dramiel, to one-shotting ceptors in a sniping oracool. Flying logi in a gang, swarming out for home def fleets, using perches to jump tourists. Structure bashes, bubble camps, station timers i am your x monkey.

Where you lose me is the isk space money stuff. I'm time poor, i can't devote 2 hrs to grinding space money. I've done some PVE fleet ups for interests sake but if i want isk i buy a couple plex and sell em, only had to do it a few times thanks to SRP and the aforementioned null PI but you knowmsayin.
I remember my first million salvaging wrecks, hitting 40 million doing missions, hitting 800 million shooting npc haulers. After that i was cured of the whole income thing. You set up some faucets, fiddle with em from time to time and you log in to have fun.

Enjoy my wallotext, these threads about waah muh munniez are a drag. Isk is a means not an end.

U mad at my industry ganks bruh?

Well said.

I don't get it. Hurrr durrr.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here because, uh, forums. But my main point is this... I don't see much difference between these two statements.

"Miners are not realizing the isk value of their ore when they manufacture goods, resulting in baseline prices that result in a loss! This affects me negatively, and I don't like it. I really wish these other players would stop doing things that ruin my EVE experience."

and

"Gankers are not respecting my method of play, they gank my ship and I have no chance to defend myself! This makes me mad, and I don't like it. I really wish these other players would stop doing things that ruin my my EVE experience."

=

"WAHHHHHHHHHH"

I think the proper forum response to both of these statements is "HTFU", but I could be wrong. I don't think I am though.

WTF are you on about? Did you not take stuff out of custom offices?
