Crime & Punishment

I don't see any griefers. Griefing is something strictly defined as being against the rules by CCP, and is not in evidence here.

Can confirm, some little toad built a 200 block high wiener on my server last month, and somehow made it shoot sheep or cats or something out of the top constantly. I wish I was kidding.

This happened when they changed wars to have a 2500% higher base cost and added the ally system that unilaterally benefits the defender.

The higher pay barrier caused low skill or low income aggressors to join larger groups to spread the costs around. The ally system made being the aggressor so much more potentially dangerous that it became virtual suicide for anyone but a dedicated pvp group to declare war at all.

It's a situation wrought out of a misguided attempt to nerf highsec aggression. Instead of achieving it's actual goal it just put highsec PVP groups in a position where they have an absolute monopoly on combat in highsec.

I don't expect it to be fixed, ever. I expect any future changes to exclusively involve more nerfs of a similar nature and for the situation to just become more extreme.

Also your best option if you're at war with BAW is to try and kill N1ghtw1ng, he's always suspect flagged, often not on comms and has no links or reps, he's also someone's son and gets yelled at irl if he dies. Alternatively put up a POCO somewhere and Shadowgirl9 will attempt to reinforce it solo in a faction battelship in the EU timezone while the rest of the alliance is sleeping. I also flyy Barghest around unscouted pretty often.

There's lots of reasonable options of things to do other than running and hiding for people who are inclined to actually try. But trying is hard and calling a situation impossible and giving up is easy.

Sorry but that's bull, you NEVER fly un scouted and have been known to order alliance members to step away so u can get solo kills.

You are jsut like Tora, a liar and a scumbag, period

And they stop doing all these things when they DEC us grr. No but seriously unless in a huge t3 and logo blob that shames most nullsec alliances there are always options to counter. Sometimes a huge blob of such ships is insurmountable by a small, low sp and/or poor group. If you are indeed a mixed group and willing to fight see if your aggressors will have some more fair fights. If you pissed them off or its a contract you made your bed already

Citation needed, most gaming websites seem to love the headlines that Eve generates, and the traffic that comes with them.

Pot, meet kettle.

More to the point, why do you feel the need to insult people and then get all defensive when they take offence at you being a massive douche canoe?

Can't stand the heat? GTFO out of the kitchen.

Edit ~ Removed some stuff to save the ISD team some work. All hail our ISD overlords.

I have a feeling the cavalry has arrived in this thread. Go go gadget ISD!

I'm trying to imagine myself as some insane authority figure who keeps his non-director peons on a tight leash.

Dispike: Vimsy, please may we get on this badger kill?
Rinth Naskingar: please, we let you have the last ten kills to yourself.
Vimsy Vortis: Silence, serfs you aren't worthy, if you want kills go alpha rookie ships in jita.

This fiction is hilarious to me, is it based on something you've heard or is it entirely your own fabrication?

Unlocked the thread. Please continue enjoying your content, y'all.

Wait, have you ever been in the alliance End of Life? Because that's the only plausible explanation for this comment.

Also whatever, it's now an alliance meme that I'm some kind of whip cracking slave driver. I'm running with it.
