So true. I once got accused of buying my account because I was hanging around in 0.4 when a pirate attacked and I just bugged out.

The guy was like 'How much did you pay for your account?'

'What makes you think i bought my account?'

'Cus your bad'.

'I'm alive, and I didn't lose my ship.'...

No reply.

Eve is about the journey.  If you are so focused on making money, that you insist on having the tools to make it be made as autonomous and easy as possible, then you are never going to have as much fun as I will.

Gotta love pirates who criticize you for escaping. Remember the days of the pre-nerf warp core stabs? So many tears...

lol this whole thread is designed to cater to the forum warriors who believe (wrongly) they are "well ard" no such thing as carebears, it is simply a name some ego maniacs came up with to make themselves feel good because they sit in front of their PC all day.

Carebears are :

Miners whine on the forums that CCP only makes it easy for the gankers.

Gankers that whine on the forums that CCP only makes it easy for the miners.

People that work out a tactic they are pretty sure is a exploit...try it for a while, brag about it on the forums, then whine when CCP declares "Yeap, that's a exploit"

People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that gate guns might actually kill them.

People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that other people might be able to shoot at them without penalty.

People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that someone somewhere might be afk.

People that claim EVE is a "COLD HARSH PLACE" and then whine that someone is afk but cloaked in the system they are trying to rat afk in.

and last but not least :

Most Forum Warriors (myself included) Pirate

This made me laugh at loud.

This is the absolute silliest complaint. I guess being an EVE vet just naturally makes you paranoid, but seriously? Nut up and deal with the idea that the other guy in the system may or may not be spying on you.

I was probed out by a gang of pirates looking to gank my Raven while ratting in null. I warped between safes while they attempted to track me down. One of them called me "pussy cream" and another a carebear because I outsmarted their gank squad and managed to stay alive. Gotta love these kids Lol.

Yeah, it's like living in a WH:


Hmm....someone was on D-Scan for 5 sec's 2 hours ago...have they actually left? (we once had that happen, only a couple of us on, one guy says " Yeah, I'm pretty sure they left" argues with the other guy watching the exit for a bit, flies his orca out, 21 jumps to pick up stuff, 21 jumps back (orca/frieghter pilots will know this take for ever and a half) on entering...is jumped by the people that we were worried about might still be in here 2 hours before. When he asks for ransom, he gets "F**** NO! you made me follow you 21 jumps out and back, your going to DIE!!)

we played cat and mouse for about 5 minutes before giving up. lucky for me they had very short attention spans. but i'll never forget the name-calling that ensued after that encounter. they seemed to have taken my escape very personal.

That would need rebalanced.
