EVE General Discussion

If you turds would just get off gates and hunt like REAL pirates, there wouldn't be a need to change the way gates work in low. Stop hugging gates to gain an advantage (because your 93843 million ISK ship going after that cheaply fit Rifter wasn't good enough) and get your asses out there and destroy ships in SPACE. Get off your front porch, you whiny pussies.

I'm a goddamn new player that immediately went to lowsec space to carve out my niche. Even I'M not pussy enough to sit at a gate. I hunt when I'm feeling froggy. You veterans sitting around at the gates make my teeth itch. Get off the gates and join the rest of the world.

I like the attitude, like the balls and agree with the sentiment.

I second that.

Even with these changes pirates will still be able to catch you.

Don't get me wrong, I think people are overreacting. You only need 30 seconds to kill a target and warp back to your safe spot.

but it is easier because most people have to go through the gate and also piracy isnt supposed to be hard, it is supposed to be boring and waiting for people, okay?

You don't mean that if people actually do something other than sit still it will not be that big a problem?

How about... belts? POCO's, POS's, WH entrance/ exits, anomalies, complexes, missions?
You know, the more I think about it the more I feel the OP is right.

If you guys actually would get your sticky rear OFF those gates you probably had more targets to pew with.

Apart from FW and reinforcing structures, there are only carebear activities off of gates in lowsec. PI, mining, ratting, cosmic anoms, cosmic signatures, missions; people that do these in lowsec know how to do them in lowsec, they'll see you enter local, they'll see you/your probes on dscan, they'll have ages and ages to avoid combat - which is what they'll certainly do, because they're not likely to be in a pvp ship for these activities.

So hunting like a "REAL pirate" is largely a waste of time. And even if you found one, gosh, it'd only be the same kind of 'bad' pvp that you scorn in this post of yours. If you're roaming for a fight, and if what you see of a system's inhabitants is that they're probably carebearing, then you're better off continuing to roam.



Awfully nasty language. I'll have some capital letters for you. People who live in lowsec, and who do not camp in one of the extremely few, extremely famous systems which have smartbombing battleships and such on gates, who go around in gangs of various sizes looking for fights more exciting than killing a a lone T1 rifter, these people ALSO FIGHT ON GATES.

Kil2 starts in Jita and flies solo to whatever far-flung corner of nullsec after studying the map for a bit; you can watch his streams where he does this, you can watch the videos he makes of his fights. Go watch a few of them. Spoiler: THERE ARE A LOT OF FIGHTS ON GATES.

BECAUSE FIGHTS ARE LARGELY ON GATES IN EVE.

SOME REASONS ARE OUTLINED ABOVE; IT REALLY HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH STATIONARY PIRATES IN A HANDFUL OF SYSTEMS.

Hi, I can tell you don't spend much time in lowsec so I'll point out a few flaws in your logic.

There isn't much worth doing in lowsec space so the odds of finding a random person ready to die is much...MUCH! lower

What is worth doing must be probed down AND has acceleration gates, I've only caught one person who was maybe not watching D-scan and he was 85km away so he left.

Most people only use lowsec for moon mining and moving assets to and from nullsec, if they aren't inside a death star or in a station they are on a gate. So how do you propose that we kill them if they are only ever near gates and stations and towers that broke ass pirates cannot afford to attack?

Edit: BTW I only live in low on occasion and I always end up leaving because there is 10x as much PvP to be had in nullsec, 10x as much income per hour in nullsec, and in nullsec my sec status can only go up.

Do you understand what pirates are? They don't sit by an asteroid hoping that someone might come along. They sit by gates because 90% of people will enter the system through the gates.

I'm not a pirate, i'm actually affiliated with anti-pirate groups so don't misunderstand where i'm coming from here, but I feel that low sec should be policed by the players.

After a pirate group has ganked that noob in a rifter, do you think they are going to stick around for a good fight with an anti-pirate group while also taking massive amounts of gate gun fire? I think people will now only attack ships they know they can take out in a few seconds and then doc/pos up.
