EVE General Discussion

what i'm saying is that you should stop masking your risk aversion with dumb crap like "my individuality" and "i'm a casual player" because you feel entitled to nullsec levels of income with hisec convenience and safety

I'm a highsec carebear.

I stay and play in high sec, i don't pvp, WHY?

Because pvp is all about numbers. its too 1 sided.

If i get jumped by a gang of pirates, I'm dead, GAME OVER. plain and simple.

It dosn't matter how much sp i have, it dosen't matter what ship i fly or how it is fitted, it dosen't matter how experienced or good i am at playing the game.

There is no hope or chance for me to fight my way out and escape or even take 1 or more of my attackers down with me.

most likely i will be pointed and dampened and dead within seconds before i can even target an attacking ship.

That is not fun, that is a gang of bullies beating up on someone they know damn well cannot fight back.

For me the risk Far outweighs any potential reward.

The ships in eve are made of paper, they die far too quickly and far too easerly. there is no epic battle, its primary target, click f1 to f8 sit back and watch target die in under 30 seconds.

Now i've played in low and null sec, i've been part pf a major alliance thats owned territory, i've been in CTA battles which involved flying 20 jumps into enemy teritory and then getting popped in seconds by 20+ enemy ships calling primery on me,

sitting back and thinking now that was fun !!!NOT!!!.

Now if you wanna get me back into low / null sec you need to give me a fighting chance. ships need to get segnificantly stronger.

If i get jumped by a gang of pirates, i wanna be able to put up a fight that will last several minutes. i wanna be able to shoot back and maybe take 1 or 2 smaller/weaker ships down with me.

A fight i can get my teeth into and not be over in under 30 sec.

Give me a fighting chance and rewards worth the risk and i will return to low / null sec.

Until then, I'll stick high sec and the industrial side of the game.

No one in high sec is earning what the goons are earning so why continue to claim they are? Low and Null warfare is utter crap, blob vs smaller blob and steamrolling or gate ganking, oh fun times!. If the mechanics of it didn't absolutely blow chunks then I might consider low again but as it is, not a chance.

Nobody in hisec is as organized as Goonswarm either.

The entire basis of your argument is "i'm scared of the big bad blobs and the big bad piwates on the gates in lowsec"

You keep bouncing between that and "i don't want to serve DA MAN i want to be a ~free spirit~ why should i have to cooperate with other players for an advantage when NPCs fight all of my battles"

Not in a few years no, but was in low before most currently playing. The pvp was better years ago than it is now. But answer this, why do low sec players care so much that some don't want to go there, all of this nonsense about the market being flooded with high sec minerals is nonsense so I just don't see why people can't play and let play, so to speak.

Some whine yes, but most of the forum whines is from the low sec community wishing to end the high sec community.

Mudflation is laughable. The balance of having rare minerals only in low sec balances the games ecomony alot. I really don't see alot of the problems some claim exist. My first character (Andrasta) opened in June 03, I recall people logging on after DT to sell to NPC corps while prices were still high (to stimulate ecomonic growth the NPCs bought minerals in fixed amounts). I have seen the ecomony of the game durings its entire existence and fail to see these adverse effects of high sec miners.
