EVE General Discussion

This is a game.

The OP is talking about a stance in a game.

The stance pertains to the game world, in which we pay to play.

The gankers gank in a game. The miners mine there.

It's a game.

You realize this is a game, right?

Really? Hitler?

It's a game.

This just made me want to gank the OP for being narrow minded.
Then I wanted to gank the OP even more when he tried to portray suicide gankers as crusaders for good or something like that and miners as evil. When in reality suicide gankers are suicide gankers because they have fun being suicide gankers, nothing more nothing less, they aren't crusaders of some good nor are they evil, they just do what they have fun doing, and I encourage that they play the way they want to play. Miners are just that miners, they aren't bots, miners don't hide bots, miners report bots when they notice them, and at times miners even kill the bots when they see them. Bots aren't noticed oftentimes because of something called AFK mining or something else called people minding their own business and assuming that that hulk over there is another player. At any rate isn't it the miners who are hurt the most by the mining bots, after all they are both harvesting the same resources and selling the same stuff?

Thinking about this made me mad and made me want to gank the op.

Then I realized EVE is a game, so I just said whatever, just let him be he can't do anything to me anyway, (especially if he spends all his time writing essay worthy posts like this).

For example if they throw a tantrum when the mean Hotel Manager at Boardwalk Plaza charges them full rent, eliminating them from the game?

Sure, I do realize that. I wonder if you do.

Eyes are the windows to the soul?

How one acts behind the veil on anonymity is interesting but far from a fool proof method to determining what makes the man what he is. True men are the sum of their actions, and in those actions for the good or ill is where the judgment may lay. If I went off the premise that the actions of the Eve populace was indicative of who they really are I would fear for our species. Eve is a playground for the Id to some, maybe most.

The Id as described by Freud (FWIW that guy would have had a field day with the vast majority of folks that play this game)

"It is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality, what little we know of it we have learned from our study of the Dreamwork and of the construction of neurotic symptoms, and most of that is of a negative character and can be described only as a contrast to the ego. We approach the id with analogies: we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations... It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organization, produces no collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle."



OP is deluded, but its a space delusion nothing more.



I do find it entertaining the legs of this topic. OP is a Troll of Biblical proportions if the size of this thread is any indication.

Goddamnit that's a wall of text.

I didn't read it, but I can tell you why people gank miners:

because they're bored, the game throws money at people who have sovereignty over rich space, and they want to pick on easy targets after getting their ass handed to them time after time in fair fights.

P.S. Or if they're goons, they're trying some experimental market pvp tactics

Jeeze Louise, thanks for proving you're a long winded bag of hot air blow hard.

I read it all and this was my favorite part

LOL good read.

2/10 for the effort of making a wall of text.

Man, you guys don't realize how old this thread is.
