EVE General Discussion

Eh, don't bother pointing out the NPC-corpers. With some very rare exceptions, all of the "htfu ganker" people are going to post on alts. Fear is a defining characteristic of these people, and handily coincides with the stance they take toward the game.

Where did you ever get the idea that I never once went to 0.0 in the entirety of my career?

I've lived in NPC space, flown with corps and alliances of all sizes. I've been in 0.0 since before there were Titans, and Carriers/Dreads even. Ahhh, RMR, the memories...

Anyway...

Wspace? The FIRST THING I DID on release day was take a fleet of 13 carebears so deep into Wspace that they got lost and then ransomed them for all their ships and pods or I wouldn't lead them back out. I made 7 billion ISK in ransoms in 40 minutes.

So, by all means, keep preaching to me about how to PVP.

Lol Surf... present company excepted. o/

You're losing the plot, but again, I'll bite:

Eve is a shooting game. It's a game about shooting. There is no denying this. Without destruction, there is no reason for anyone to build anything. Industry exists to serve those who kill, not the other way around.

Those that think otherwise also think that minerals are free because they don't have to buy them. But, people lie to themselves all the time in order to make them feel better about themselves.

So, it's not about "make the game the way I want it". It's about "this is the game, and diluting that in any way ruins the core game and takes away from the experience of playing the game." It diminishes it.

If you don't want PVP, go play (literally) Hello Kitty Online. Otherwise, stop trying to dumb down my PVP game.

OP

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14248808

was this your 2nd account?

LOL. No, but that's hilarious.

I did, basically.

I sold off my two 90M+ SP accounts and started from scratch. I now have about 33m SP or so on this character, 40 bil in the bank and haven't missioned or ratted a day on my new character. Check my NPC standings if you like. And no, not dead in the least. But I've been the cause of many a player's demise since starting this new character.

Also...



NPC Corp... lol.

Ok, I'll bite:

You sure do

1) You can't start shooting your war targets 5 minutes after deccing your opponent.

Definitely can.

2) By the very rules of the game, if the game is more dangerous in general, it is also more dangerous for me. I'm not ISD, I don't get a special ship with special rules and be treated differently. I fully expect to have to deal with the same mechanics that everyone else has to deal with.

Poppycock. Its less dangerous for everyone with more skillpoints by virtue of mechanics.

3) Perpetual wars? Only if the defender *chooses* to keep it going, and 99% of the time, the defender can always run from a fight. Again, you're so obtuse that you fail to see my point completely. THE GAME IS BALANCED TOO FAR IN THE FAVOR OF THE DEFENDER (VICTIM).

Multiple pages of wars I am eligible to join right now.

When I was new, Eve was a merciless and lethal environment. Death was everywhere. You think suicide ganking is easy now? Try five years ago when two Caracals could run down an Iteron 5 with half a bil in cargo/expanders from 30 jumps away and kill it with ease. If todays players had to play in that environment, carebears' would little pea brains would explode from the selfrighteous indignation.

you cried that you couldn't have legal war targets in 5 minutes in point one, now you're too pussy to gank? I can go kill an iteron with ease right now. If you can't you're pathetic.

People like you (unlike me) get "difficult and hard for everyone" confused with "difficult and hard for me". See, changes to the game that make it more difficult in general (no warp to zero, no local, no jump freighters, no jump bridges, no dictor bubbles, etc. etc. etc.) don't just make the game more difficult for you personally. It makes it more difficult for everyone in the game. And an easy game isn't always the best game.

You claim to have been playing since before battleships, so don't cry in one hand about how harsh losses were and complain there's not currently enough loss when its magnitudes higher.

Example: a hill climb racer was asked what makes a good race course (hill) and he answered: "If only one or two (out of a hundred) make it to the top, it's a good course. If everyone makes to the top, it's no good." People like yoursef want a hill where 95% of the players can make it to the top. I want a game where only a few can make it to the top, and only by being as creative as possible and outwitting other players.

You have ascertained my entire eve career from one post. You are the embodiment of 'umadbro'.

So, in closing, when I say "CCP is dumbing down the game", that's what I'm referring to: they're changing the game so that more people can reach the top even though they have an IQ of 60.

Hmm... as you said, they added more to the game. So if you could succeed with an I.Q of 60 now, you could succeed with a lower I.Q. then.

And finally, how can I have any respect for you? I don't know you. Why would you think that I have any respect for you at all? You haven't earned any.

I said the same respect I gave you. I didn't ask you to call me Sensei. You have clearly illustrated your stance on fairness with that remark TBH.

Thank you for this post. No really, thank you. I legitimately love what you wrote here.

Sometimes it feels like people just want to make it hard on other players for its own sake. But you gave me an adequate description as to WHY this is harming the game.

And reading this, I actually agree with you. Null and low sec needs to be seriously looked at. Because, although I do love null sec, it leaves a lot to be desired and it could be so much more.

CCP, this needs to be seriously looked at. I like high sec being carebear land. Sometimes I want to undock without the omnipotent feeling that everyone is out to get me. But at the same time, I also want nullsec to be vibrant, dangerous and rewarding. With a lot of chaos. And order within chaos. All people trying to make much more money playing smart than they would in high sec. And giving pirates and opportunity to profit from the risks they're taking.
