Otherwise this is some sad armchair psychology which we've already seen enough of.


What it is, is satire. Which we don't get enough of.

If you are not a PvPer in the conventional sense and have no wish to be and you find yourself being wardeced there are multiple ways of dealing with the problem which will allow you to carry on playing the game as you want to and not be forced into unwanted PvP. As much as people tell you this game is about PvP it is not if you don’t want it to be. PvP takes many forms and shooting other peoples ships is only one of them.


I don't understand why you insist on this imaginary border between "PVP" and "PVE". You play this game with other players, the whole EVE universe is what it is ONLY because of other players, even your post is interacting with other EVE players. If you are still too thick to understand that you are playing an MMO, ask yourself:

Why do I need to connect to the same server with 35K other players to play EVE?

There just happens to be a moderate amount of PVE content to make the economy system possible.

I personally think that when people talk about PVP vs PVE like this, they are actually just being afraid of the unpredictable, afraid of exposing themselves to virtual violence executed by other humans.

While for many others this very essence of risk is the reason to play. AI, especially EVE's AI, is not an interesting opponent. It offers no challenge, only repetition. Humans are superior opponents, and only playing against superior opponents offers any pleasure and sense of improvement.

I didn't predict myself saying this ever, but if you do not enjoy the unique, simulated sense of danger offered by EVE Online, I wish you would seek other games, instead of trying to ruin the fun from all the others.


Man...this is a ridiculous response to the OP. I bet you felt real smart typing it out. Get a girlfriend. No. I'm not available.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Hi Serene,

man of my caliber is natural object of admiration and lust, but you are not a girl, and I'm married.

Under different circumstances I could still let you touch my mustache.

And after all that, the game didn't change.


Why can't people just play the game and enjoy it?

7. If you have a second account just keep on playing your normal game but always keep your wardeced account logged in. But talk to your fellow corpies first as if they only have one account it can make things awkward if they feel abandoned. I was missioning for a few hours once and I was docking up at a station surrounded by wardeccers who were camping in my other account. Feels good man.

Lawled, liked and laughing as we speak. Funny as **** post mate. So much truth in it. Back when FrugalsWorld Inc was in EXA alliance we got wardecced week after week until most of the guys couldnt take it anymore so I know the feeling.

Never fight on their level or their fight.Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

A good way to avoid highsec neckbeards, is go to low-sec. The solo roamers will not go for you, because they dont want to get Disco-Hyperion'd at the first gate they do through.

Simply put:

Never fight on your opponents terms but make him fight on your terms.
If you manage to pull that off a few times they lose intrest in you rather quickly.

Also if you have the possebility. Fight from a well set up PoS. Have a ship hangar array with a load of ships at it and store modules, ammo etc there aswel. Make sure you have also stored fuel for a while.

Nothing is as crap for them as you being able to switch ship without dockin up and having a place to form up your own team.

Have a neut alt with a scanner scan their ships for their setups. Preferably do it undetected and then ask them why they came to that fit in local with your main.
Stay polite at all times and don't get pulled into smacktalk or trolling. You want them frustrated, not you and your team.

Never ever interrupt your opponent(s) when they make a mistake but guide them to even bigger ones.

Remember, patience and politemess are your best weapons.

Didn't read comments, only OP, don't care what most of you idiots write.

To OP: That might be the single greatest post I've ever read and your post couldn't possibly be less relevant to someone like me. Great, great read nonetheless.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

so you say part of being a neckbeard is looking down at anyone who "doesn't wear your hat" and then you proceed to do the exact same thing to their play style.

I hate people who are intolerant of other play styles, and people who play like this!....

i think you are focusing too much on the satirical and cynical qualities of his post and less on the actual (quality) information he provides.

What astonishes me these days on these threads is reading those individuals who will go to great lengths to convince everyone that everything you do in Eve is PvP. Give me a fracking break!!

Surely, trading has its competitive aspects but seriously,…some people should take a break from this game, grow up and get a life.

Actually everything is PvP in this game. Just that some only see the part that shoots at eachother as PvP.

But such a simple thing as trade or production is also PvP.

PvP means Player versus Player. And one industrialist who builds will compete with others to get his or her goods sold. Same for traders who often risk fortunes to compete with other traders.

Miners who try to compete with other mineral suppliers to get an as good as possible price for their ores or minerals.

Missioners who try to trade their LP for goods and offload them with great profit but yet be competative against others.

There isn't an aspect in EVE which isn't in some way related to PvP.

Sadly enough there is a large group which are too narrowminded to see the greater picture as what PvP means and can only see the ship(s) versus ship(s) combat as PvP.

They see their victory over another fleet and inflicting a few billion ISK of damage as the only true form of PvP which causes financial hurt on their oppenents.
This however is often inly a measely percentage of the financial damage dealt by their PvP counterparts in the trading business.

I see it all around me, people who have such a limited grasp of the complexity of the game. Surfing through the shallow layer of their EVE and not capable of immersing indepth into the game and see the greater picture.

I lose a ship here and there and lose a few million ISK on one hand and make a few billion in a totally different layer of EVE in yet a whole other cutthroat competition.

So now who plays EVE and who plays a shooter.

I did not see it as a whine thread at all. Just a nice little kick in the balls to the "hardcore" players. Quite funny really.

And yes did see some very usefull info some corps could probly use.
