Not to quibble about details, but the fact that you said bot moon mining tells me that you have no idea what you're talking about.

A bot program can be written for every part of EVE. A bot program for moon mining is easy and is used.

Okay genius tell us how moon mining works

What. What?

Moon mining bots?

Except the blacksmith is an NPC. Yeah, your video is so vaild.


What if, to PvPers, you're an NPC? Except a lot more whiny? Desensitization means you're just a floating mass of profit and/or a potential, quantifiable threat. Either way, you'll be dealt with in a manner that disregards morality.

Then they really do have something wrong with their head. Really, i think i've lost hope in humanity, even if it's "just a video game."

The fact of the matter is that these people with power ARE trying to justify being dicks to others. The only way to stop them is by being a bigger **** and hurting them even more emotionally, but really, who wants to be such a hated entity, certainly not me.

This game allows married men(or basement nerds) do what they are afraid of doing in RL because of consequences. "It's not real" is not an excuse, because you are still dealing with real people. You certainly wouldn't kill, wouldn't gang up or steal for "lulz" in RL, why do it in the game ? Given the state of this game/forum i'll think of everyone as a cutthroat mug who is after personal satisfaction.

I joined this game because it WAS full of mature people(literally, no teenagers) but it seems the teenagers grew up and are now dictating how everyone should play.

It's really very simple. Just move on to something new. It's becoming pretty obvious, were not really respected or wanted here.

Meaning care bears that is.

This may be the single serious suggestion on these forums, but if you want a lesser sandbox where you are NOT forced to PvP or live in a state of fear, play RuneScape. It's not the ****** browser game you probably remember or have heard of - it's improved a lot - and all serious PvP is confined to one area, so the rest of the game is ruled by carebears. The grind is just as bad and you'll be surrounded by 12 year olds, but they're not all jerks. Find a mature clan and you should be fine.

Or, yeah, you could go to WoW or HKO or another themepark. There obviously isn't much in the way of sandboxes out there.

I've already played those......when i was in high school. EVE attracted me because of what it can be, a really ******* huge universe where everyone can do as they please to an extent, but now it's become a game where griefers gather and have fun at other's expense(not just a couple of times but over and over again).

Hell, HoN and DOTA has less overall griefing than this game.

And who decides where things should and shouldn't happen? You?

Before you say CCP, remember that they've never prohibited suicide ganking or any other sort of blowing up internet spaceships in highsec. They've tweaked with what gankers are able to do and how they can do it, but at no point have they truly stopped it from happening, even though it'd be the easiest thing in the world to do.

Even the creators of the game don't think hisec should be immune from other players. What gives you and a bunch of other pissy Hulk pilots the right to over-rule them?

Its interesting the amounts of people speaking up now against things like hulkageddon.

Pretty sure CCP can't really ignore it.

It's good to see that other people see more in eve than what some people make eve out to be.

Most people are actually fine with a month or so of Hulkageddon. It's Unending Hulkageddon and the Carebear Cull Crusade that have got people angry.

Luckily, it should be happening in all of EVE, so it's never immoral here.

I will still say CCP, tutorials(yeah the ones that EVERYONE has to do) state that "the good police guys will come and help you, you are safe in 0.5 and above Roll"

It's people like you who decide to make the game dangerous for everyone as it is today because you have too much isk and free time.

low and null is meant to be your "little world", leave the empire already.

Next time you cry that there aren't enough people in null/low to hang out with, think a bit and realize that it's because nobody likes to associate themselves with internet douches.

You thought wrong. Looks like you're still thinking wrong. EVE isn't a cookie-cutter MMO & has not reached it's high point. Subscriber numbers climb each year, can you name any other MMO that has achieved this 9 years running?
