Odd, my experience differed from this. But thats what makes games like this great. Completely different views yet we're both allowed to have our fun.

how do you like hiding behind broken mechanics?


Feels about the same as harvesting massive amounts of isk in vast areas of space, relatively risk-free, unmolested by one's enemies, all the while hiding behind the claim that there is nothing but risk in Nulsec.

High sec is less predictable, at least in systems with some population. Low pop systems are manageable but busier ones take time to sift through since 90 percent are nuetral. Too bad we cant set standings to ship types instead of people. Some ARE more of a threat than others.

The reason 0.0 is so safe is because of hundreds or thousands of players and an infinity man hour campaign to keep it that way. It is not really the same as the free safety of highsec that no one has earned yet must exist for a stable game. But still, the safety of nulsec is better, because it is a product of human labour and of those who wish to grow and create something of their own!

Highsec works nicely when your goal is not shooting everything in sight...

It made scanning and killing industrials very easy, let me tell you. As they sat there with their holds full of faction mods and tengu subsystems.



Sounds more like a problem of people playing on Pentium III's.


No, that's the (in)famous Black Screen Of Death and is here since endless years. You can easily have it in Jita, Old Man Star and generally in overloaded nodes. It's not an exclusive hi sec issue.

I really do think that those of us who stay in highsec to grief carebears full time should be considered saints and martyrs for the unending stream of anti-PVP nerfs and broken game mechanics we have to endure and have encyclopedic knowledge of just to be able to shoot at the kind of people who'd see this game made into WOW if they had their way.

Saints? Hi sec bears may be coward but 0.0 seccers seem to perma-demand that the free sandbox it's THEIR WAY or THE HIGHWAY (see any incongruence?).

We work to keep it safe. You didn't earn concord's protection.

But Don't you see? Theres nothing we CAN do to make it safe. We ARE the courageous youth, you are the old farts basking in your retirement.

If you can't handle hi sec then stay in 0.0 and visa versa.

Can't be simpler.

Yeah it is buggy but the system in one location has never been pushed this hard. Kinda cool really.


i thought romanian legion was a sov nullsec alliance?

oh wait you got thrown out by /vera cruz/

lol!


True, it was quite interesting to say the least. Especially since our corp kinda set them off... Long story. Still have some sov, I think?

You should ask CCP greyscale about not being able to shoot back while being shot at in highsec.

Well it's a word used so frequently, carelessly and inaccurately that it essentially has no real meaning anymore. Kind of like "autist", "bigot" or "active tank".
