EVE General Discussion

I know for certain that your upper ranks also mess with Technetium.

Why not messing with minerals by killing Tengus? Less loot goes to the market => prices rise.

This is now expecially evident, as since CCP nerfed the M0 drops, missioneers can now easily loot again in a solo setup (expecially on marauders but hey, why would you not kill them too ) and this is causing serious M3-M4 drop in price and by result, mineral prices are also affected.

I didn't call them sociopaths. I called them psychopaths. Despite your entirely useless statement, you didn't refute my point.

I also didn't call the poster I quoted stupid. I said that his/her comparison was stupid. You really should learn what the word "nuance" means.

And misinterpreting other people's attempts to communicate doesn't do you any favors, either. (:

I find it interesting that most posters seem to assume that I'm personally involved in the current conflict between carebears and nullbears. In fact, I've never lost a mining ship, and I've been happily pulling in ice and ores in highsec all through Hulkageddon and for a long time before that.

My problem with the current situation is that making every area of the game a truly unpleasant place to be WILL have cascading consequences if it continues. I agree with the basic premise that something needs to be done, and that that something does not involve eliminating the possibility of suicide ganking. I think there's a much deeper problem plaguing the game; Hulkageddons and the recent uptick of suicide ganking is merely a symptom.

They actually mean exactly the same thing. I think one is just more modern, technical, and "politically-correct".

However, in every day use they are still used interchangeably, which means he's just grasping at straws to save face after getting ownzoned by multiple people for such making a ridiculous statement.

Hulkageddon due to last forever.

Just dropping this here.

I can tell a contorted argument when I see one. Nice pretzel logic you got workin' there.

No I think many miners understand the risk, and don't mind some risk. In many ppls opinion though its unbalanced at the moment in favour of the ganker in hi sec.

Mission tengu activity is far too widespread to make any impact on the market on the corp level. Even on the CFC level a full interdiction on tangu mission runners would cost a fortune for little return from the markets other than perhaps slightly elevated tengu prices. An anti Tengu campain is not viable let alone an anti mission crusade. Both of the interdictions worked because the vast bulk of miners fail to fit any tank where as mission runners always have a tank and dont sit still very long.

The diagnosis of sociopathy is being phased out in favor of other, more tightly defined personality disorders. You are correct in that the general public often misuses the terminology, which is not uncommon and indeed not particularly meaningful as an argument.

I don't think I've made any particularly ridiculous or radical statements. EVE is a cesspool. The people that inhabit that cesspool, by and large, like it that way.

However, like any other thing, EVE will evolve over time. Right now, the direction it's going is troubling to most of us; this I'm sure we can all agree on. However, for the players that don't belong to megacorporations or large and powerful nullsec alliances, the outlook is much more grim than having a ridiculous new inventory. I'd like to reiterate that I have not lost a ship to Hulkageddon or any other action, and I've been happily mining away in peace. I don't think suicide ganking should be outlawed. As I mentioned before, I believe that it's merely a symptom of bigger problems. CCP needs to nail the archer, and not the arrow, in this case.

Kill 10 hulks and receive a bounty ~

You, too, can join the "exhumer ganker" profession.
