Crime & Punishment

Who are the "good" guys Veers...you? That's a matter of opinion and I can assure you the majority of opinion is it is not you. Ask yourself, who is the real cancer of Eve..Those who engage in the very thing the game is all about; emergent gameplay, social interaction, exploding spaceships, vying for economic and military control..etc...or is the ones who go to Mexican restaurant and demand Itallian food, claiming it is their right because they are "paying customers". The true "good" and "bad" guys are subjective. Eve is what it is, many play this ti its maximum...while other whine that Eve is not what they want it to be and cry for change. If you want Itallian, go to an italian restaurant..if you want Eve, meaning explosions, criminals, pvp, risk...then you've come to the right place.

After all Veers...opinions are like, well, you know...everyone's got one..and they all stink...

The Rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that a person who CCP does not promote in anyway nor is attempting to represent them.

Oh shush AC..let the man speak of his Veers silencing..hehehehe

Absolutely. You were secretly a CODE sympathizer the ENTIRE time...I immediately identified you as a Benedict Arnold, but could not speak up because of your position. Not to mention a complete inability to grasp my actual proposal vis-a-vis bumping. Anyhow...what other accomplishments did you have? Wildly incompetent stewardship of AG fleets with a less than 1% success rate? Whoring on thousands of CONCORD killmails for who knows what reason? Running a confused blog that only served to make code look good? Rila, if you didn't exist, code would need to have invented you...you were always the perfect opponent for them, a perennial loser who would lead AG to defeat DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. I mean, code couldn't have paid you to be a more incompetent adversary.

No, I feel vindicated as usual. Within a few minutes of meeting you I properly identified you as a turncoat. My judgment remains incredibly sharp and utterly correct. You did nothing for AG...all you did was justify "the code always wins" slogan. Not once did you materially impact the operations of code...all you did was provide them with entertainment, easy victories, and content. They loved you. They really don't love me....I provide them no victories and no entertainment...just endless frustration that someone can eloquently stand up for highsec PvE players on the foums.

That's how you beat code...not by blowing up their gank catalysts that are going to die anyway.

Veers, in my time playing eve, i have run missions, tried mining for 15 mins (hated it) lived in low, lived in null, lived in a wh, done exploration, run incursions, fought with Goons against TEST, Fought code and now I'm fighting WITH code. I've played the game and enjoyed every min. And along the way Ive made several friends who I enjoy playing the game with. What have you done? Run Incursions and run your mouth. That's IT.

Next?.

The game mechanics overwhelmingly favor CODE. There is no point in playing whiteknight just to lose over and over again. Until CCP changes the mechanics to make it possible for whiteknights to actually harm CODE, it would be stupid and pointless to try and stop their ganking.

A smart man only acts when the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs, otherwise the status quo ante is preferable. I'm certainly far too competent to spend my valuable time tilting at windmills.

FTFY

Yet you seem to spend most of your time proving exactly how incompetent you are by tilting at the very windmills you claim not to be tilting at. You're not the smart man you think you are.

Can you imagine Veers horror if he were to play GTA??

Its rather simple, he fails to GET EVE.

What favors the gankers is that they're prepared to work together and know how the mechanics work, unlike their victims for the most part. The mechanics aren't broken, it's the ability of their victims to understand and utilise the mechanics to their advantage that is broken.

Why is this a bad thing? The efforts of multiple players usually outweigh the efforts of a single player, it's a little thing called teamwork.

It's a game, not the real world. They are destroying pixels not physical items, as such the punishment matches the crime.

TL;DR you've got no idea what you're talking about and want CCP to change the mechanics so that gankers can be materially harmed without expending any effort.

FYI there are many ways to hit gankers in the wallet, fortunately for the gankers they require effort and some planning to achieve.
