At first glance, I figured the OP was just trolling.

It seems he in fact is not.

What?

Actually CODE. got their own manufactures and miners... Because their miners got a permit.
They are a bunch of hypocrital a-holes.

Actually the targets I kill drop ore, lot's of ore.. I don't have to mine to manufacture my Catalysts and modules.

Which only a minority will pay any heed to, because the people giving the advice out are usually the same people the advice is required to counter; thus the advice is seen to be bad.

Carebears inherently distrust gankers or anyone that isn't a rabid carebear, and anything they have to say. Any advice given out, no matter how good, automatically has to have a catch to it which gives others an advantage.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Personally, I joined Eve because it looked like a fun space sim, and it's a good game, for the most part, but I recently quit because I don't want to deal with the suicide gankers anymore.

I will bring the carebears together, and together we will crush the suicide gankers and wannabe Concord agents into the dirt.

Surely this is a troll? Please?

OP tears about getting ganked, yet seems incapable of doing any form of research to stay safe from gankers?

OP fails to take note of CCP Falcon's recent post, re-affirming ganking is EvE working as intended (also pasted in the above linked article).

OP fails to realize "EvE" is not a foreign language translation of "WoW" into his native tongue, and should quit EvE to play WoW with all the other pansies immediately.

So, don't carry so much stuff in under tanked ships.

Seriously? You can't afford or fy a T1 fit Catalyst?

You haven't thought this through have you?

The actions of gankers like The New Order increase the cost of items bought and sold in highsec. That benefits those manufacturers and miners who are not getting ganked. Follow that train of thought to its logical conclusion.

Even so, think about this carefully:
Suicide gankers have thought about ways of getting what they want within the constraints of the rules as laid down by CCP. They have overcome the obstacles in front of them with the tools they have to hand and some creative thinking. Time for you to do the same. Set yourself a realistic goal and work out how to achieve it. It's do-able.


You are aware though that EVE is a PvP based game, right? Even selling stuff on the market is another form of PvP. Industry, Mining, Hauling. It's all competative gamely, thus it's PvP. Spamming F1 isn't the be all and end all of PvP.

I know there have been attempts like this in the past, but we have lacked unity and persistence. I will persist when others tire. I will unite us when we are divided. I will bring the carebears together, and together we will crush the suicide gankers and wannabe Concord agents into the dirt.

CCP will listen to us. They will change. They will submit to the will of the community.


THUR GONNA BE A DAGGONE CURR BURR REVOLOOSHUN!!!! HAHAHAHA!

All I have to say to you is this: If you want a game that's going to hold your tiny little hand, if you want a game that's going to give you cookies and call you a good boy for doing "cool" things, if you want a game that has areas that are 100% safe (and therefore 100% unrealistic and, more importantly, 100% boring) then go play WoW, GW, GW2, SWTOR, etc. Hell, why don't you just pack your bags and move in with the RuneScape community. You only have to pay $5/month for a sub and the game is SUPER gentle on your fragile little mind. You couldn't be more wrong in saying that not having safe space ruins Eve. Not having a completely safe place to go is what makes Eve a wonderful work of art. It's what sets it aside from everything else. It's what makes it different, rather than being a copy of all the other MMO's out there with different graphics and a different UI. The problem, SIR, is not with Eve. The problem is with you and players like you. Don't try to change the game that we all love and enjoy, because CCP will NOT, in fact, entertain your childish desires. If you want the same old bull crap as the majority of MMO players, there are other games for you, and Eve clearly is not one of them.

Sometimes, not always. Some sub forums are better than others in terms of trolling/baiting levels.

Your point is still quite true on many occasions though.

OP, although I strongly disagree with you, I do have some sympathy for you. Unless you are used to doing a lot of research, it can be a little unclear as to what dangers await you in new eden.

Also understand that as an industrialist you are most definitely not unarmed.you weild one of the greatest weapons of all. ISK. Don't be greedy with it. Use it to hire muscle and scouts. Use it to hire a merc corp and dec the gankers. That way they can accompany you on high value runs and gate crash the areas where the gankers hang out, or pay one of them to web you into warp if you are getting messed with.

You are definitely not unarmed, you just have to be less "greedy" and accept a smaller profit margin for security or find friends to fly with. If you find and make good friends with combat pilots you can all get rich together!

Lol not pay the gankers, but pay someone to travel with you to help hit warp faster. Just trying to point out to the guy that there are options besides having the game changed.

Industrials seem pretty useless to me honestly. They're so flimsy people will gank them without even bothering to scan them, on the off chance that they will drop something good. A few catalysts or thrashers aren't a big loss.

Benton,

Let me begin by saying I understand your pain. I dont feel your pain, but I understand it. That said I find absolutely no merit in your petition nor your position.

YOU are the one responsible for your losses, not anyone else. 'How can that be?' you exclaim. And my response is simple... You did something that led to the situation where you lost your ship/cargo... Could be any number of things... might have been AFK piloting (I made that mistake once and lost my ship for it)... or maybe you weren't paying attention to your surroundings (I made that mistake as well and lost my ship for it)... When you do something stupid, foolish, careless, or otherwise expose yourself, then someone very well can take advantage of that.

Dont want to PVP? Then take the extra time and caution to make sure you dont put yourself into a position where you have to...

You are 'tired' of not being able to retaliate? Then take the time to learn how to, or better yet, learn how to avoid the situation.

All that said, I think your petition would lead to game breaking consequences and effectively destroy the fabric of the game.

That is why I make all my transportation in a Vargur with 3 Xl ASB 3 INVUL fields and 1 DC. :P
