Crime & Punishment

Can you explain why the mechanical removal of an underpowered tactic is a good thing? I'm honestly struggling to figure that one out.

Except this is bullshit. You play a play style that in ANY other game would be constituted as "Griefing" i.e deliberately upsetting other players in attempt to get "your rocks off". In ANY other game you would have warnings, temps bangs and then perma bans.

Yet in this cess pit CCP is now starting to realise that allowing this type of game play is in fact killing the game. In the last two years we have lost close to 22 THOUSAND players who have quit in disgust. So yet, with the base fact evidence that we are not retaining new players, you continue this play style with one goal in mind. To take down EvE and say "yeh we did that".

Which shows a disgusting mindset. No, all of you, griefers, need to be stopped so eve can grow. So eve can retain new players who can look after children and afk mine to make ISK, who can log in in super shiny ships they earned and feel safe flying about in empire space.

If you want loot so badly, go low/null/wh's and fight for it, but you don't, you spout "risk vs reward" like it's a shield, yet when a player i.e me suggested link alt's become *suspect* as soon as they enter the field, what did u all do? You war decked the **** out of the corp i was in and forced it to disband as we had 2k+ players on us in a 15 man corps.

Why should we Risk our stuff to get rewards when you risk NOTHING to get yours, ganking is NOT RISK VS REWARD, death is a certainty when ganking i.e so it is not BY LOGIC Risk vs reward. The shield you hide behind is complete and utter rubbish, you use a motto of the game to do one thing.

Grief other players in an attempt to **** as many people off as possible and call is "risk vs reward" when you infact risk nothing as u know you will loose your ship so by definition of "risk". No, there is no risk, its a certainty you will loose your ship so BY EXTENSION OF YOUR LOGIC it is pre planned assault on another player.

So stop spouting your crap like it means anything. Griefers are the biggest cowards in the game and always will be.

You dont dare head to real pvp areas because you would get slapped sideways so much by real players, you'd realise what you call pvp is infact ganking and griefing and NOT pvp.

GTFO

I'd gank you too if I found you afk mining.
And pay Tora to wardec your corp.

Welcome to Eve.

This doesn't answer the question. How does the game benefit from such a change? "I don't like it" isn't a valid answer.

My friend, we are not griefers. We are simply fellow capsuleers who just LOVE to pvp.

Following his profession as a freelance trader, who specialises in acquiring goods at gunpoint from traveling merchants and resource gatherers as the opportunity arises.

Last night there was an Orca sitting on a gate while AFK for many minutes. I normally don't scan orcas but I'm glad I did this time... He had 8b in capital ship and capital ship component BPOs. I started bumping him and a few minutes later he "woke up" and started insulting me. Dunking ensued, followed by him jettisoning his cargo container named "capital bpos". I quickly scooped them and thanked him for the isk.

I never wished him any harm nor was my intent to "grief" him. Yet if you ask him (if he ever logs back on again) he will probably call me a griefer. I'm glad he did what he did because it's isk in my pocket and made for some humorous entertainment. I think it's insane that players such as the one I described would have any kind of voice that pertains to the direction or changes in mechanics in this game. These people only exist in eve to acquire wealth and then have it taken from them.

Well not to split hairs but CCP did a study that showed the opposite of what you are claiming about so called 'griefers" making people quit.

I think those that left are do to carebear boredom, expelled bots, and alt accounts closed down. I have personally closed down 4 of my 5 accounts because I don't care for indy anymore.

And if you just want to make afk ISK in EVE then I would say your the problem, not the people that actively play. So how bout we put on our big girl panties and HTFU. Or you could go try WoW, or Space WoW, or any other of the many games out there that cater to non interactive, I'm afraid of people, don't get out of the house much, don't want to try or learn how to play type of play style.

I play EVE because it is dangerous. Lose is real, and people can %^*&* you over if your not paying attention. Remember... and these words are straight from CCP. High Sec is NOT 100% safe. Not sure what your confused about with this.

OK...bit of a rant. Apologies.

Now for the OP. I have no thoughts or cares on hyperdunking... seems a minor niche that's easily countered. Don't see what the fuss is about. The tears from the AG crowd are enjoyable though.

By definition, there are no areas of EVE that are not PVP zones.

Your tears on here are great, and we have all enjoyed them. I love it when guys like yourself attempt to throw the old "Hurr hurr pvp is just in nullsec hurr hurr" line out there. You do realize that MANY of the pilots you will encounter in highsec are alts of null sec alliance members, right?

And you do realize they would treat an industrial ship the very same way, anywhere in EVE, right?

"But Leto", you ask, "Doesnt the fact that I pvp in null make me a badass?"

No, it does not. The guns dont fire hotter, the blobs are real, and the only difference is capitol drops and bubbles.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

So are any and all offensive modules.
