Well, explosions are more fun than lasers, but.............

Maybe change belt rat behavior with more difficult AI....more and stronger 'hassle' from rats and with more firepower.

An AFK Mack should not be able to 'ignore' Rats........that's for STARTERS to do SOMEthing about the botting issue aspect at least.....

There are those among us who think the biochemical response they get from vandalism and wanton destruction is what is defined as "fun". In reality, they've never had fun so they haven't a clue what those biochemical signals are like. Sad, really. Making it easier to destroy things for "fun" is another underlying factor - laziness. They don't want their "fun" to take any effort or run any risks.

To call all this "infantile" is an insult to babies. To say they behave like animals is an insult to nature. We should call in the old tried and true term for this. It's being a "jerk".

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Perhaps this exerpt from Neal Stephenson's new novel "REAMDE" (yes, the Title is a deliberate typo, and YES it's about an MMO called T'Rain) points to a direction:

"Dale and his friends, living in a world where where libraries were already stuffed with millions of novels that would never be read again, where any movie or televison program ever filmed could be downloaded and viewed, simply did not have the bandwidth to absorb a vast amount of detailed background material about fictitious races on a made up planet. They just wanted to kick a**."

Seriously. Pop the Paper Bag. Grab contents. Easy as pie ALREADY.

I did it twice just because about a year ago. Rather boring and stupid TBH. Rather have larger fleet fights.

I guess that's why they do it, because they are BORED with all other aspects of the game.

EVE is seriously broken if there is not enough to do in Null (or impossible to do...or too BORING to do) and popping paper bags is just for circle-jerk styled lulz-kicks after.......school I think..........

Your right we should take all the mean stuff in eve and float it down the river of tears that has been created by people that cry about dieing. Hear is one fact that may upset you carebears. EVE would not be still in business if they did not allow people to shoot each other.

Here is another fact. Your tears only motivate. the satifaction of exploding some mining barge or some other player is amplified 100 times when you cry in local or post your tears in forums or send out those awsome hate mails to the people that killed you.

So thankyou to all the griefers out there. you keep on griefing. And when you do get a few tears thrown your way make sure you share them with others. And thank you Vyl Vit for sharing your tears with all of eve.

I have yet to ever give tears.

Anyone who even RESPONDS to you F***ots (and I AM one of those BTW and have no qualms about implying a NEGATIVE connotation along with it to describe a certain kind of person) is just a complete idiot.

Anyone who even RESPONDS to a Gank is an Idiot par excellence...........

DO NOT GIVE TEARS EVER.

THAT is INDEED being stupid.

Thanks for reminding me Smeg

Since I don't do it....I forgot about that. lol

Depend on response.
Sure if you going to smack talk and rage on local/eve-mail-private convo then you are probably out of your head.

But well there is some interesting read . .about Morality choices etc. having fun from other people suffering etc.
Game or not. You are real when you playing, your enjoyment is real. I dont fully agree with any stance because it is strongly individual, and i dont truly believe in what i wrote/said.

But such connection is indeed an response and it doesnt mean those people are idiots, They just over-do it. In other words they take it too seriously.

In the end .. you are being ganked get an efedrin/MDMA/whatever
you are killing get something which cause severe depression. well get effedrin/MDMA/whatever some time before you go for it Big smile

Feelings are just chemical reactions.

Well, since I don't ever AFK mine, it's been over a year since losing a mining ship, and that was a Mack (of course), lost when I pooh-poohed a Cheetah in system and checked out the innocuously named corp......BUT I didn't click on the Alliance association, or I WOULD have seen Tear Extraction and Reclamation Service.

OOPS !

BUT.....the idiots did not even bother to salvage.....not even their own ! I got my Insurance payout, ALL my mods back from the Mack but for one Ice Stripper, ALL their loot from previous ganks, all the salvage (my Orca alt was grabbing all that and salvaging while they hung around stupidly in their pods).

I actually GAINED 5,000,000 ISK from that Gank !

It's the lack of any strategy or thought even, and clumsy methodology that makes the whole exercise IDIOTIC most of the time.

There is a WAY of Ganking....and Ganking WELL.

There is a difference.
