Crime & Punishment

Wow. Just Wow.

It is a combo hit of fallacy and non-sense that appeals to personal attack instead of providing any reason to actually consider you anything, and then just to put the cherry on top, you just presume to own anything ?

That is just the kind of thing that makes this forum the worse place for actual discussion. And that is why I dont bother using correct english or revising what I write. I couldnt care less what you or anyone in here thinks about my english. I do have all the criticism of my english skills I need hanging on my wall. And it comes from people from whom the criticism surpass yours in importance by the 100th potency.

As for the actual answer to your post: You are blocked. Have a nice day.

Looks like I'm firing up good ol "everywhere and terrible" again. Your tears just purchased a wardec.

This I what I've never understood abou some players being overly vocal about how they think eve ought to be. I understand that as human beings that span many different cultures and beliefs that some of the core values or encouraging the lack of any in eve is a major point of contention. The fact is that eve is a virtual world that takes place in New Eden and has very different society that CCP has created. Conflict, loss, power, and greed are some of the driving forces that are easier to be apart of. Being a "good guy" is certainly a valid way to portray your character(s), but not everyone wants to be told that their MMO experience is wrong.

I understand a lot of people here will say that if you're a carebear, then you're playing the game wrong. I completely disagree with this thought because without carebears I wouldn't have entertaining content, and vise versa. Now our idea of content might not appeal to everyone, but that's our right... Just like its your right to generate your own content.

EVE is not for the weak or lazy... I guess you could play while being weak or lazy but you will find that lots of people will take advantage of this and that might not be fun. EVE has always been a niche game where the players drove most of everything while abiding by the rules provided. So no, EVE is not a casual game I would play with any and all of my real life friends because I know they couldn't handle it. The reason for this huge narrative is to point out that our style of gameplay is perfectly fine just as "yours" is. You will have your opinions just like we do, but you have to understand that c&p, content creators, and fans / appreciators of our work and stories dwell here. My point is that EVE has been this way since its creation, so who are you to try and change CCP's vision with claims and empty quotes of what you think they want?

Regarding hyperdunking... There's a lot of misinformation about the methods and techniques used as well as the basic mechanics that get parroted here as on Reddit. Unless you actually have a decent amount of experience doing this activity then I don't think you're qualified to speak on how easy or abusive you think it is. You are welcome to have an opinion on the risk vs reward but even that's iffy. Unless I'm dunkin some kind of whale, I almost always have more isk on the grid. It's not my fault that no one sees fit to actually try and inflict true loss on my part.

If you think ganking has consequences in the game of alts, you're either a fool or in willful denial of reality because you benefit from the present state of affairs.

Losing a 2 million ISK gank ship and an empty pod is not a consequence. I spend more than that on light drones every time I take a ship out.

So much of these discussions contain so much feigned ignorance of how ganking is executed and who is behind it that I can't help but laugh.

I could roll an anonymous ganking alt and be in CODE freighter fleets or solo'ing mining barges inside two weeks. I would suffer no meaningful consequences. OH NO MY -10 CAN'T DOCK IN HIGHSEC WHATEVER SHALL I DO. Oh right, run incursion sites or DED sites on my other toons to buy my ganker another 50 catalysts. Maybe keep my sec status just high enough to farm kill rights on the side.

I just don't find it exciting to undock every 15 minutes to engage in an activity that's less challenging than most PvE.

I have no problem with people that run a nice quiet gank-for-profit operation raking in ISK off the dumbs in highsec, but the constant bleating about highsec ganking somehow being a central part of the game, is tiresome.

If Goonswarm wants content, load up your supers and go invade some Russians. You'll get content.

> Be weak, lazy, but moderately knowledgeable of game mechanics.
> Run logi, booster and scout alts and only engage targets that don't understand the meta game.
> Win EVE, all day every day in highsec because outside of major hubs your chances of being escalated or third partied on are effectively zero.

Actually earlier in the thread I said that the loss of players was in hisec, the actual information on that came from some work that Gevlon Goblin did on logins and later by Fozzie saying that on a podcast on Evenews24. The OP should note the second source which I forgot about.

A minor matter, was that a joke?

No, it was not. Minor has several meanings.

Pull your head out of your arse.

Thanks, I think. It's not a joking matter.

So that's what I don't understand is that there are not only direct ship and strategy counters to hyperdunking and even more importantly... FREIGHTER GANKING. You have all the tools at your disposal, yet you cry for CCP to change the game to make it easier for you. It's this helpless midset that should be embarassing for you.

If you guys weren't so stupid and actually knew anything about mechanics you could make almost all ganks 100% unprofitable. The only exception is code because we'll gank empty freighters. **** your freighters.
