EVE General Discussion

Just blow them up, I do, before they can make it to the kill I shoot it or blue it, most of those skins are dull anyway.

Well, those sites look for me more like a spare change now.

I have done a Guristas Hallucinogen Supply Waypoint and there dropped a Gila blueprint and B type pithum invulnerability field. Just Omega things.

You are fundamentally and severely misunderstanding what EVE is as a game.

It wouldnt be EVE if the loot could NOT be stolen.

There are atleast a dozen things you can do to either prevent the theft or react to it.

My quotas with a blaster Gnosis I gimped a bit with a combat scanner in order to be able to scan down (my) lost drones:

- 70 Sites run
- Got 22 skill injectors
- Only got contested around 10 times, most players warp off when they see the side is allready run.
- Only lost the loot to other players 3 times.
- Two times yellow flashing pilots warped in to provoke a fight.

Yes, I came of ahead most of the time in a simple Gnosis. The last ship allways warps in to almost the same position relative to the warp ins of the waves before. The trick is to sit there, log fast with a script running and blast away at 2000m. I only lost the kill to a Brutix that had better timing, a Domi that bumped me out of perfect range and a pair of perfectily synchronized piloted machariels (overkill much?). I think the event is fine as it is.

delete this!

Carebear apologists usually ensure us in their whine posts that ganking is totally easy, has no consequences and has zero costs. So not sure what is holding you back? Safety to red and pull that trigger!

EDIT: now with more carebear

A naked nurse?

Hehe, yeah.
I have been making quite a good income recently with this

The site does not belong to you, the loot is not your property, in EVE you only own something you can prevent from being taken by others, this applies to everything: territory, resources, your ship, your loot, your wrecks, your wormhole, your citadel, the cargo that you haul and so on. This is all intended. You build your dreams and others are there to wreck your dreams. Welcome to EVE.

As for stealing stuff, check my bio. Stealing the loot is all too easy and super fun, this time I don't even bother completing the sites the regular way at all as was in case of the Gala event as the rewards this time are unimpressive.

The strange thing is most people don't even prelock you and those who do are not fit properly to prevent you from escaping. This is all carelessness. If you don't care to protect what you wish to be yours or even claim is yours then you do it wrong.

I am one of those who will link in local what I've stolen especially if it involves the only useful event item the training accelerator, though I have so many of those as well that I already have the remaining time from the event covered by them and same goes for my corp mates, I gift the stolen stuff to my corp but even they don't need most of it.

Those who are curious I do this for one thing only, the excitement and adrenaline which is practically the same, not for ISK, not even for the loot, just for the fun of it. *giggles*

A very few of my victims take it as they should, as a game and it is good to see such people, had some nice conversations with such people of exchange of a few messages, great people they are, they make EVE great, the rest get angry and all upset for no reason because of their space pixels were taken away and blame others for their own failures. There are several approaches to preventing your loot being taken, no I will not do your homework for you, anyone can figure these out so you can't even claim you have no chance at all.

But let me give you a hint because I feel generous: You can look me up on zkill and even see my fit, the less than 1% of the cases when I was stopped, the rest were too careless to stop me, it can be done with ease and though it is not shown exactly you still can figure out the two different approaches, let me help, each person used a different one, the rest is easy to recognize. There are other methods as well however so your options are quite wide in protecting your stuff, thus, you have no excuse if you don't.
