You're right, whining and crying on the forums about how Goons are ruining your game is much more interesting than taking the fight to your tormentors.

Go back and look - you won't find a whining post from me. Keep swinging your NPC bat though, you look cute in that Ministry of War uniform!

You don't have to go to Sov 0.0 to not be a carebear. Almost nobody likes 0.0 politics and structure grinding, but that's just a part of the game there. NPC 0.0 is good. Hell even lowsec can be fun to build a little empire in. WH are probably the rawest form of eve you can ask for. No stations, no local, nowhere to hide in exchange for massive profit. You don't even really have to leave hisec to not be a carebear. You just have to adapt to your environment. Your environment being mostly comprised of the players around you. If someone ***** in your sandbox, light it on fire, grab your shovel, and throw it back at them.

If someone craps in your sandbox: 1. Light it on fire 2. Grab your shovel 3. Throw it back at them.

So why complain about the people who are interested?

I will never look at the Auction House in WoW the same way again.


It's exactly the same when:

-You work you way first for faction standings

-you work your way out to have titles related to region/worl/server quests

-you work your ass out to get the 1st world/Euro vs US / server kill

-you work your ass out to get the highest tier sets/legendary weapons

-when you collect minerals/plants

-when you get your fishing titles

-when you work your ass out for pvp arena titles or stufz

And the list goes on and on.

Noticing your posts in other threads, I may have conflated you with other posters. Sorry.

OP read your post and found there is absolutely nothing there to discuss.
It is just a broad generic statement.

In before the lock for lack of content.

Nobody's yelling that it's too rich (if they were, disrupting it would be silly, since disruption makes mineral prices go up, thus making it more lucrative). The problem is that miners have gotten used to and subsequently developed a sense of entitlement to the ability to make Isk almost completely AFK. This has lead them to (wrongly) believe that HiSec space should be "safe" or that their untanked Max Yield/Cargo Hulks should be ungankable. This belief has led them to make annoying posts on the forums. These annoying posts on the forums have led to people disliking miners due to their inability to comprehend simple premises of EvE that have not changed since Beta; namely that you are never safe.



And round and round we go. What you are not getting is that the AFK aspect is why some people do mining and other AFK-able pursuits in EVE. If they can't do it, they won't "learn" anything else, they'll just leave.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that CCP wants to have such players in the game. Otherwise mining would not be as it is - it's pretty obviously designed to be one part of the game that's AFK-friendly. Their money is as good as your average EVE mini-me Nietzsche's money Pirate

The whingeing (so far as I can see) is not about being ganked per se, it's about a concerted perma-campaign to grief miners.

A player who likes AFK playing has already accepted the compact that they'll occasionally be ganked. Even Hulkageddon per se was cool, because a canny player might take advantage of it, and anyone who was really risk-averse could just sit it out. But a perma-campaign? I doubt it will really do much good in the long run.

I think some of you guys have your heads so far up your metagame that you forget that there are plenty players of EVE for whom such concerns are meaningless, they just want to potter about in a space game. Now, anyone who wants to potter about in EVE to the extent of subscribing to it has to have accepted that they're never absolutely safe (otherwise they really are an idiot), but an OOC campaign specifically targeted against them (for the sake of someone else's silly metagame) is a whole different enchilada.

The imperceptible shift in EVE from a virtual world (where the omnipresent danger is part of the lore) to a game in which winning at all costs is all that matters, is a huge mistake.

It's a monumental stupidity to try to turn EVE into "LOL in Space".

I don't see anything in that post about "post with your main" or any variation thereof. So what are you talking about?

What's wrong with the campaign? Either ganking is allowed or it's not. There're no fishing quotas to be enforced. There's no hunting season. There's just what players decide to do within the rules.

If they've accepted the risk of ganks, and aren't complaining when they get ganked, then I've got no problem with them. They understand that that risk may vary due to other players actions.

Winning at all costs has been the only thing that matters since day one. Look at the history of Nullsec. BoB engaged the entire GBC against the Goons because I think they noticed that the Goons were a potential threat. The entire weight of the GBC against an alliance fielding Rifter fleets. BoB and the GBC vs a bunch of newbies in Rifters.

I think she's calling you an NPC alt, so critical comments from you are your NPC bat.
