Crime & Punishment

Funny you mention that. Back in '06 I was flying with a fellow who routinely put a can out labeled "free stuff" right where the velators were undocking - popped ships for hours one night. I was barely out of rookie ships myself so it was pointless for me to try. Wonder how old this rule is.

This isn't the thread for that discussion, but I will very briefly cover why I do my favorite work in highsec.

I prefer small gang warfare to huge blobs. I really like it when my individual skill counts for something. What nullsec considers a small gang is twenty dudes and it gets hotdropped by three hundred Drakes. Not really interested.

Additionally, I don't really like the common mass of people. While there are exceptional dudes in most alliances, you have to put up with the hive-mind of mouth-breathing sperglords. I don't want to do that. This dislike may be aggravated by having been in TEST. (love for my TESTies, but about 80% of you I want to choke with my bare hands. Reset TEST.)

Now dec scraping has taken all of the fights out of highsec, so we've been messing about with Wormhole space recently, but we still like to grief, and highsec is our ancestral home.

But now griefing is taking nerf after nerf. So, the thread above.

I fail to see the point here, as you are complaining about "PvP" in high-sec, take yourself to low or null and get all you want brah simple, lots of luck with your propaganda though .

Apparently CCP's objectives are nerfing fun and condoning botting. Lets hope some new CSM candidates get the "look we fixed our **** after incarna" goggles knocked off their faces.

Ah! Not just a knuckle-dragger. Cool.

Certainly we are rocking the WH space. It's a bit slow, but it's something to do, for sure. But there is another issue. While I don't speak for all of my highsec knife-fighting brethern, I like slapping down the sort of narrow-minded, ******** mouth-breathing idiots that I would like to punch in real life, but can't because :laws: and :morality:. While they exist to some extent everywhere, they are most concentrated in highsec.

In null I can't really harass a particularly punchable target very effectivly.

Anyways, enough derail. I'm sure I'll make a post covering all this in my attention-whore blog at some point. Let's talk instead about the part where we are organizing to punch even the faces that don't deserve punching.

(Also, grief is fun.)

You're just not getting it, are you?

WoW ----->

Except he has a long history in nullsec, as do most of our corp and most griefers, gankers, and pirates. After spending about six months among these guys, I find that I'm in the minority as someone who has lived almost entirely in highsec.

This isn't a bunch of no-risk PVPers whining because we're having a harder time shooting stuff on Jita 4-4. We're looking for honest fights. Six months ago we were able to get fights on a regular basis. Back then I had to queue blog posts on a delay because I only wanted to do three updates a week, and we were having FUN engagements more often than that. Today we've withdrawn to w-space to pile up cash, pick what fights we can, and wait for Inferno. My blog hasn't been updated in forever because...what is there to update? Eve got boring.


Did I sound like this when I was a carebear? God I hope not. Every time anyone points out a legitimate problem in Eve some idiot has to show up and crow "_____ tears best tears" because obviously you can't point out flaws without crying about it.

Sorry to say, this post is too far above the logic and reading comprehension of those it is directed at.

I'm pretty sure the misuse of this term happens from more than just carebears.

Looking forward to your tornado tips =)

Edit: poor grammar

I have little sympathy for high sec griefers or anyone else taking high sec seriously, bears included. All I see is people wanting easy targets that dont fight back. The griefers are just another form of carebear.
