Its far easy to just post some dumb remark then try to justify it and make it look cool like Mr. H did with his reasonings to start a war. Seriously, it works for masternerdguy so it should work for any game nerd that thinks they are a messiah comming from the promised lands Roll

At least he got one thing right. Carebears did kill null PvP. The Carebears IN null.

A hefty long manifesto. I didnt read it all yet but will do so later when i get back from work.
But i would like to point out that the start of this manifesto allready begins with false assumptions.

-Shooting a gun or launching a missile arent the only form of pvp in eve.
-High sec bots werent the sole property of high sec residents.
-Lots of null-low-high-wh space players benefited from those bots but could allways disclaim accauntabillity. You knew where most of the goods came from but since it wasnt you doing the botting it made your consumption oke right ?
-Show me that no one, not residing in high sec, has any complaints about certain gamemechanics .. blobs ? Supers ?

I'll read the rest of you manifesto later today.

You go your corridor but.

Do you ever have moments where you become lucid enough to realize just how batsh*t insane you really are? Like when you are sitting, playing in your own feces, do you ever remark to yourself"Wow, it is frighteningly amazing just how crazy I really am."

I read your manifesto months ago, and then I thought you to be dangerous. This new diatribe though...its so crazy that I can't see anyone taking you seriously.

Please, up your dosage, your fantasy world is becoming far more elaborate and totally wrong.

Probably because it's brilliantly written, and not a rant. That wasn't a manifesto, it was a god damn Eve bible.

This led to the creation of the "boomerang" tactic, wherein a ganker strikes and warps away just before CONCORD arrives, then warps back for one more strike (or in the case of multiple targets in separate locations, multiple strikes).

Words stuff nonsense babel

Pro-tip: CONCORD has arrival time, lock time, and transit time. So, you warp off when they arrive and they have to chase you, lock you, but again you are already off and in transit requiring them to chase after you. Yet, that does not sound exploitive to you, since CONCORD cannot target you during warp...so in fact you are evading the consequences and going rampant. CCP also never said you could never outrun CONCORD nor could you warp off to attack again...you are just supposed to die to them after the first aggression.

Anyone ever wonder why CONCORD gets buffed repeatedly? Its because you the player, destroy highsec (why is no one in lowsec...yet it is so much better then highsec as the rewards are better...until you guys all play rogue wolf and slaughter off your prey). See, its ok to attack people...but to drive them off is bad for business for CCP. They never prevent you from ganking, just make it more difficult. But if its made easier...you get 5k active subs which is so 2003 don't you think. So keep up the good work, less people who can't even play the game is awesome until the day you find your subscription and PLEX costs have doubled.

sorry tl;dr most of it... but...

hmm, and why more players damage eve? if the old players keep playing? these carebers some day end up quitting playing or they go to Null or WH-Space and stop being carebers...

it makes no sense hating miners, killing them and skyrocketing the market prices, this makes less people able to afford the game and reduce PVP...

IMO, CCP should nerf hi-sec minning or buff nullsec and make these minners go seek the ore in more dangerous places and join bigger alliances having a role. So CCP should do what they are doing... planetary rings exploration... spreading t2 materials amon them... putting ice gravimetrics everywhere... CCP is on the right path!

I hate when ppl only like 1 part of the game and wants to ruin all the others... COEXIST!!! There are manny diferent playstyles, this is a sandbox... we don't blame nor judge you for killing deffenseless ships (maybe yes, we do) but if it is your play style, I just hope that you have fun, there is nothing that we can do about it... (and I hope your playstyle get nerfed by CCP again, as they increase mining barges tank, making lots of industrials happier and you more angry =D) ...

Well... i'm going to dock my combat ship pick my minning barge and mine something... lol

Considering the OP, you're either the biggest idiot or the most genius troll ever born and I'm not sure which...

The OP's post is both hilarious and sad at the same time. Hilarious because of the pure zealotry involved (not a bad thing) and sad because he's right.

Well written, very amusing and too true.

To the OP: revel in their hate- everyone who is disparaging your posts are carebears/botters themselves.

Because:

A) Us older players won't keep playing, as showed in incarna.
B) Games that focus on carebears are not known for their longevity.

An Eve in which carebears continue to receive one buff after another is an Eve that will very quickly die. Just look at the life spans of every other game that ever went that route, Eve has lasted as long as it has because it was originally fun. Now its slowly being turned into a **** PvE grind.

Oh, does anyone remember Titan and XL gun tracking?

Too soon? Roll

FYI, getting ganked by a Titan with non DD guns isn't much different then a hulk getting ganked. But look what happened...bitchwhines fixed the problem that the vast majority of those who couldn't HTFU and Adapt/Die by flying anything but a subcap. So...if not buffs to hulks then un-nerf titans, face it the ship is ment to be a fleet buster and its dones that in every incarnation until the recent pissing moans of a thai wh*re level of noise was high enough it had to be nerfed because...carebearish attitude of "I can't HTFU CCP, please nerf it!" brought attention to it.

Carebears are not the problem, its the ******* human element with differing points of view and the more aggressive loudmouthed assholes squeaking like a slow fart that have self entitlement issues that their way is the right way.

No, actually. I agreed with the miners when they wanted better tanks for hulks. It's stupid that they can't fit a tank equivalent to other medium T2 ships. They have no hardpoints and tiny drone bays so it's not like they'll suddenly become uber combat ships. I also think high sec income should be nerfed severely. I haven't mined since the beginning of Eve, but when I did, I did it in a 0.2. I'm all for miners getting all the buffs they want. Believe it or not it's possible to be a miner who isn't a carebear. I'd love if they doubled the income from arkanor in fact. I do, however, want to nerf the **** out of carebears of all kinds and won't be happy until high sec income is appropriate for the newbie area that it is. I'd like level 3 mission income to be cut in half and level 4 missions and incursions to be moved to low sec.

At the very least, it was a fun and well-written read. OP, were you the guy smart-bombing BOB guys (and others, lol) in a cloaky Mega back in the day? I love that video, part of what made me want to play EVE.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Give the tier one barge a boost to ehp. Want to mine safely? Mine at less than 1/3rd the rate. Want to mine efficiently? grab the hulk and get crackin.

When was the last time non-consensual PvP got a buff?

Now think of all the "features" CCP have introduced over the years that allow you to avoid that PvP.

So fly a titan or GTFO? Yeah makes sense. There won't be any more balance issues once everyone is flying the same ******* ship class. Roll

Edit: And **** newbies. The less accessible we make null the less carebears there will be. It's their own fault for not leaving character creation with 50 million SP.

Insane and ugly from start to finish. How can people work themselves up to speak this way about other human beings, fellow players?

You all do know what it sounds way, way too much like, don't you? What it reeks of? Surprising the last section wasn't entitled "A Final Solution."
