EVE General Discussion

Blinders. Remove them some times.

In order:

Ok, you dislike my attitude. So?

Wrong Insurance Nerf.

The Boomerang tactic was well known and often used for 7 YEARS, before it was banned. It wasn't an Exploit because your ship still died at the end. It became well known (and whined about) by the carebears, when people started using the Boomerang-Shaped Tornado to spin around their enemies, wreaking havoc.

A lot of what I'm seeing here is people telling others the 'right' way to play EVE. The only one who can say what way to play EVE the right way is you and you alone. Others can have opinions on what is 'right' for EVE but in the end, the only one you have to listen to is yourself.

My two cents...

Who cares, seriously wtf are you even talking about now? The op asked why some don't pvp. I'd like to hear more about it, instead of your ramblings.

Because they whole "just because you're new doesn't mean you can't contribute or take down someone that has been playing for 8 years" is a myth made up by CCP to keep new players coming in.


I'm 10 days old. There's absolutely no way I can take down a vet. None. At all.

I rarely pvp in Eve !

I pvp a lot in other games.

Eve pvp is just to quick and final. It takes way to much time to setup and re-engage. I know, go buy 10 of the same setups but then your tactics stay somewhat similar .

I don't live in eve 12 hours a day. I want to pvp. I want to jump in and jump out of it and do it again next time. Setup and reset up just wastes to much time given the time ratio. 30 min setup for 1 min of action. Just wierd.

Now faction warfare has possibilities. I like conflict but when it's the only game then people leave to more balanced games.

I want more pvp. I just want pvp to last more then 1 min in a game. Somehow get more lite pvp into highsec. Don't know how but do it. Maybe dead space is like low sec or even null? Ccp could do dead space without concord in a few unruley regions.

Give us intro options to mix it up!

I don't have the competitive streak that some do. I have no interest in sports, especially team sports.
For three years I raced cars in SCCA solo, at the end of each season I was ranked in the top three in my class every year. I do not know how, I never looked at the time sheets of any of the events. No idea if I ever took a first place at any race.

I am antisocial, to paraphrase Red Foreman. The more people in a group, the better chance that one of them is a dumbass.
I have a small group of peeps that I converse with in EVE, have not seen them in weeks. When I go out on roams in low sec I don't have the fleet to take down freighters, blobs, gate camps etc... So I have yet to engage anybody. I tried once at a low sec belt but I landed right in the rocks and got hung up, had that cruiser had one gun fitted instead of mining lasers I would have popped easily.

I just don't get D scan. I have spent hours trying to learn, it just does not work for me. Yes, I could do more skill training. Frankly I am scared that I will commit the time to train but not get the magic "AHA" moment of how it works. "Risk Vs Reward"

I don't understand how to make ISK while doing it. The bulk of my ISK goes to skill books and PLEX.

When I first subscribed I came for the PVP, and then I found the manufacturing side. I have logged in to do some market trading, set up a research job or two and set up some build jobs figuring in an hour I will log off and wash the car or something. 10-12 hours later and I realize the sun has gone down and I can't go outside to wash my car. Total immersion.

Egos and self worth. I have fired employees who trolled me. I have quit jobs that my boss continually trolled me. I don't spend my time with "friends" that smack talk to me. Family members have been blocked from my life for how they treat me.
Why should I pay to play a game where I have to force myself to talk to players that have to tell me how good they are and how much I suck? If you are so good, try teaching me something, think ransoms not gank.

Still interested in PVP, I have been planning to get an alt and joining RVB or just flying out to low sec until I find somebody that will except me into thier corp. Understand that I have been planning that for over a year.

Don't forget to wash the pizza stain from your t shirt, great video game space ship "hunter".

Dunno other people, but I would bother others if i talked at the PC. That's a pretty common occurence to people who doesn't lives alone.

The #1 reason I avoid PvP, is every corp I have ever seen that encourages PvP is full of players I can't stand. The sort of jerks whose general manners make you wonder if they have ever graduated Junior High. Who brag endlessly about their victories, constantly insult everyone around them, and are too full of testosterone and empty of brains to work towards a coordinated plan. I play online games to get away from this sort of twit, not to associate with them.
