Market Discussions

LOL okay hold a sec I'm gonna pee myself I'm laughing so hard... whew, okay where to begin.. well first your misusing the notion of a martyr, but if you want to say - I want to bring attention to your griefing , then yeah you would be right.



Really, so your saying that the dev's spend god knows how much money developing mining and the use of minerals to make things just so lazy perps like you would have a target? Got it.. "rolls eyes" "more uncontrolled laughter"



God please stop, I'm gonna burst something..lololol "trying to catch my breathe"

Lol, clearly you missed most of the main points in my post but heh that doesn't really surprise me. Just so we're clear, your a perp, extorting isk from players..check, you think it's cute to roleplay that.. - check. Your oblivious to anyone but yourself and could care less if your actions have an adverse affect on the game and Eve - check

Heh, ya know, I have a prediction. Coming soon to a mining field near you.. ship anchors. I can hear the perp whine now...

Speaking of fixes to put perps out of business.. did anyone notice the scan killing thinger bobs on the deadspace gates plus the cloaked and shielded mission containers.. haha, kudo's to the Eve devs.. nice work guys, fewer perps means a happier HS.

That investment just keeps paying out. Love it.

That was your first mistake. Read it all, it will be good for you.


No, I bump people who violate the New Halaima Code of Conduct. To answer your question more directly, miners take orders from me, not the other way around.


They can send in the petition, yes--getting the result they're looking for is another matter entirely.


Thanks for the props.

And whilst we're distributing props, let me give you some: Congratulations on having the confidence to come to EVE-O on an 11-day old alt and act like you know more about what's illegal and what isn't than the GMs who deny all the petitions filed against me.

Before we read the sig, can the investing committee vote on whether or not to read it? Reading it might detract valuable bumping time from the entrepreneur involved in this feat of mining-industry control and set progress in Kamio back.

And?

I disagree. Much of your post was going on and on about how terrible it is to mine, and how CCP should reimburse you for the real-life sacrifice miners make in order to produce everyone else's ships.


In that case, you're doing a poor job. I still haven't seen you point to any griefing activity on my part.


I'll put aside the issue of whether the mining aspect of EVE has really been that developed--I'll just point out how you're the one who spent most of a post talking about how boring and lifeless it is. As to the "target providing" aspect of your question, well...Not in those terms, but kind of yes. Miners are the bottom of the PvP foodchain. They are meant to be targets for the rest of us.


I don't "extort" anyone. I am bringing revolutionary change to a part of the game that needs to be fundamentally transformed. We can't continue down the path of automated mining in absolute safety. That would kill the game, which you would know if you read my Manifestos on the subject. Miners must be required to follow a set of laws, which I have conveniently codified. And yeah, the miners are going to have to give me some isk. Ten million a year. Boo-freakin'-hoo.


I "roleplay" a businessman and leader in the same way that you "roleplay" a disgruntled miner.

In my opinion everything in James' posts revolves around this for all parties regardless of what comes after. This is an MMO after all and is meant to be enjoyed...by the standards that you see fit... in the environment provided by the developer and the rules they establish. The enjoyment of the OP and the enjoyment of the haters do not have to be the same and in fact is what is great about MMO's; that so many different personalities can come together and create a world filled with enjoyment and pain. More So the latter in EvE and is what sets this game apart from so many other cookie cutter games.

That we have something like this to talk about, that we have something to band together on and either cheer or hate makes this one of the best MMO's out there.

For the haters out there, relax a little (not really! keep on trolling and hating for the drama!) and enjoy the game for what it is. As most things in EvE, it will not last indefinitely and you will have stories to tell for years to come because of it. To be honest, 10 million is a paltry sum for those who have Hulks and Orca's at their disposal, the thing they are opposed to is the audacity of the request rather than the sum. This small sum keeps it within my minimalistic tolerances for being ‘malicious’ in a game and I’m thoroughly enjoying living vicariously through the OP in his semi-extortionistic ways thus coming full circle to the opening, this is my “rollplay” and my version of enjoyment.

Keep doing what you're doing James. Enjoy the game.

I'm pleased to present two posters celebrating the New Order of Highsec! Both of these were created by the talented Sun Win, one of our investors, who evemailed me earlier today:

HOPE
MERCY

I have added these to the OP and will include them in the list of links so future readers will be able to enjoy them as well. If anyone else has artistic gifts or feels inspired, don't be shy about sending them in. I'm sure many will appreciate the effort as much as I do.

Ah thanks for the welcome. :)

Since this post is about extortion and griefing, I believe this thread is not a market discussion but rather a facade of a legitimate market discussion and is in fact an attempt to legitimize what I consider a detrimental and epidemic game phenomenon.

*bump*

since the post is full of role play from the OP why would I want to go anywhere else?

*bump*

I assure you, I never have, nor ever will pay any extorter, griefer, or any other perps anything.. ever. I do however find great enjoyment in expressing my opinion on such matters. Heck, kicking dirt in the face of evil is almost more fun than playing the game. I really don't expect the perps to change, but maybe, if they ever stop to think about what they do. Or they will simply get bored, or the devs will nix whatever loophole they've discovered. In fact, it's this last point that actually does **** me off. No one even thinks about how much effort, time, and real money the devs have to exert to counter all this perp crap. Imagine all the new content that doesn't get written because a dev has to go fix this exploit, or this other thing perps are using. It's sad really.

*bump*

Oh heck yeah, carry on brutha.. the faster you can expand the complaints the quicker we will see you..... gone !!! :)


ship anchors..... mid slot mod...... ftw!!!!!!!!!!
