Warfare & Tactics

What people tend to not understand is that nearly everything outside of running missions is pvp. If you are shooting someone, that's pvp. Whenever you buy something from the market you are being pvp'd or are associating with pvp based of market and price manipulation. Sometimes there is even PVP inside PVE environments, such as if two competing individuals are trying to run the same DED complex or random professional site at the same time. Whoever gets the faction loot drop wins.

Anytime you are competing with another player, it is PVP. There are simply different methods of it. If people even realized how much ISK they lose over an extended period of time from market PVP (or the consequence of others participating in such activities) their jaws would drop and they'd find that the loss of their ships by the random ganker or wardec is measly in comparison. The whining and crying for price caps to be put in place for every item in EVE would be thunderous!

Just as a footnote, aren't at least 90% of the players in EVE male? What has happened to our gender where so many of you are sniveling, self-entitled, whiny little babies about every little thing that you dislike? Do you need horomone therapy or something to help grow your sac back? I feel sorry for any woman that are wtih a driveling, emasculated little manchild like yourself.

I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with what is PvP and what is not...

The OP was specifically talking about non-consensual PvP via suicide gank, being tricked into agression, and high sec war.


So much for the gankbears trying to claim they are the smarter ones in EvE.

Only pure and unadulterated idiots are tricked into aggression. You shouldn't coddle the weak or stupid. Let them die as nature intended.

Also, during my alts and this toons career, guess how many times I've been sui-ganked? Zero! I've carried some very expensive stuff through notorious gankfest systems too (Perimeter, Jita, Sivala, etc) and I've not even been in danger. Know why? Because I use my brain. I never autopilot. I f*gwarp if I gotta or use a cloaky. I also don't dawdle around in places like a twit waiting for someone to come and shove 1400mm's up my deep six. I also keep up on events, too. When something like Burn Jita happens, I stay the feck away unless I want to do some pewpew myself...but at least I know where it's happening and when. It's not hard. There are a couple good news sites that keep up on the daily intel and takes all of 5min a day worth of reading.

As far as highsec wars, if you kick your aggressors in the face fast and hard from the beginning, they'll usually go away. Either that or just stay docked up for a few days and go play WoT or whatever. The war will come and go and nobody will care or notice. It's pretty easy to avoid getting whelped by wardecers if you want to. Most highsec deccers are so fail anyways that as soon as they see you even forming up anything that resembles an actual combat fleet, they flee like roaches.

Now, do I need to start passing out testosterone injections for you nancy neckbeared mouthbreathers or are we done with this threadnought of fail?

Actually to be accurate, the OP was specifically talking about Wardec's. The OP makes no mention of agression tricks or suicide ganks.

Non-consensual ship to ship combat.

Is that simple enough for you gankbears?

EvE is all about any sort of Player vs Player interaction. Especially non-consensual interactions. This explicitly includes non-consensual ship to ship combat.

Concord in HS is there to provide consequences to someone who commits an unprovoked act of aggression. Gate and Station guns in LS is there for the same reason.

Repeat after me: HiSec is not, has never been, and has never been intended to be a safe place.
CCP has never advertised any part of EvE as "safe."
You joined this game with full knowledge that this sort of thing is possible and encouraged. Why are you trying to change the fundamentals of a game that other people enjoy when you knew what those fundamentals were when you started?

Not before I tell the Carebears one more thing...

... you know, why don't I let CCP Guard tell them.

CCP Guard says it best...

Be fair, you'd be pissed too if you got your boat violenced while docked in station.
