Yes, YES, please, vomit some more ideological propaganda!

Now, seriously. If highsec carebearing kills nulls fun, i promise i will make more alts and turn them into carebears if in return you promise me you will keep posting stuff like this!

James 315 makes some damn fine posts and some damn good points. Most importantly, a new and disturbingly accurate perspective on what's been a trend in this game for a long time.

It's amazing how so many of the people trashing him are proving his points even better than he could.

OP has a lot of time on his hands... and really should seek some counseling because he is taking internet spaceships WAY too serious.

I admit, I never thought of it that way. Indeed, the greatest threat is the one that goes unchecked.

Coming as this does right at the start (though early) of Burn Jita and the coming Hulkageddon events, there is the possibility for a very real turn around in the current trends in EVE.

Not really, it was an interesting read on a subject that comes up a lot. It was considerably more in depth than most forum posts, but its not longer than some gaming news articles have been in the past.

Like it or not Eve is an interesting subject, hell people have written economic papers on the game's economy, it stands to reason that on occasion people should write essays on the design philosophies of it's creators.

So you don't actually have anything to contribute to the conversation other than "lol I'm a 13 year old who can't read?"

Good to know, I guess.

James a good alternative for catching logged off miners' pods is have your alt drop probes in the belt at the smallest size, position them around the belt, and fleet warp your ishtar on top of the logged off pod. It's aggressed and'll stay there for 15 minutes.

But there's a chance that CCP will completely screw up and decide to try to nerf ganking and non-consensual highsec PVP in response.

That's why we have to remain vigilant against the AFK Botting Asshats that are ruining EVE.

I do have to correct you however, Burn Jita hasn't started yet. We were just bored on a Thursday night. Really.

It's always possible as long as the game exists. "Where there's life, there's hope" as they say.

Of course, in EVE you can die and get into your clone, but you know what I mean. (Ever looked at your own frozen corpse? It's ... wierd).

This is a thread. There is nothing more hilarious than watching a bunch of morons who feel that they should be able to sit untanked and afk in a highsec belt totally safe spew their vitriolic hate all over James for his opinion.

hmmmm amusingly this is too true...


and also alot of care bears is bitter in this aspect...

EvE is a game where you can do what you want to do.

If you go carebearing we dont care... but don't expect concord can help you with wardec/suicide gank... you're just a useless whore if you keep whinning... go whine on your mother not on CCP... this is not PvE game like wow... this is unadulterated, unrelenting PvP game... and everything in eve revolves on PVP... from logistics to mining.... they all revolve on pvp

You want to go null sec? sure no problems... just make sure you know what you are doing... dont whine if you are ganked because of your stupidity in not looking in local channel... don't whine about titan can't be killed by sub caps... because they are not meant to... if you want to stop a titan... you throw in another titan to it... thats how null sec does it... thats how coalitions does it and thats how PL does it... seriously... titan was made to be 1 fleet ship... its just that the doomsday device that day causes too much lag that they need to tone it down... but it can still insta pop a carrier...


pretty much yes... high sec miners does kill pvp...

So when can we expect James to take over at CCP?
