EVE General Discussion

"Chilling" in high sec is fine, if a player wants to make a toon, put it in a shuttle and fly around looking at stuff and "chilling", thats cool.

But if that super chill player can or does take ANY action that affect any other players situation or interaction with the game (good or bad), said super chill play should be subject to being affected in some way (good or bad) as well. Miners in NPC corps are less affected than others.

A situation need not affect me personally for me to see that it is unfair and where possible unfairness in the game should be addressed by ccp.

James 315 is wrong.

Ganking is the low hanging fruit of EVE mayhem making. Nobody should give this blowhard an audience, it just encourages him. Ganking is alot like mugging elderly people, sure you can do it, but why? I fail to see how the gain, tears? ISK? respect? *LOL* is worth the cost of your ship and the security hit.

I mean sure I could go out and kill mining barges in HS, but I could also go around mugging old people. Both are stupid ideas for very similar reasons.

Now if you get your kicks being pointlessly cruel to total strangers, you go right ahead and gank to your heart's content. I personally will question your manhodd and your sanity, not only is it a gutless pastime, beyond simply juvenile, but the rationale is flawed. All James 315 is doing is complaining becuase his favorite pastime, the stupid act of ganking, is being curbed by mechanics in the game.

Its not making EVE any safer. It is making it less stupid.

Now, the only time I could get behind HS gank activities is if they are part of a cohesive denial strategy based on the concept of assymetrical warfare. War is an ugly and cruel thing with obvious objectives and it tends to be a given in warfare that the uglier you can make it the quicker its over.

Juvenile tactics in pursuit of a strategic objective beyond short term gratification at the expense of others is not the same thing as the lone ganker who blows up miners becuase he can.

How big is that corner of null sec, exactly?

No it isn't.

The developers don't need to interfere with every discussion of note on the forums. In fact, its counter producive to receiving good honest feedback. Had a developer responded with anything of substance, on page 10, more than half of this thread would now be about how said developers was right or wrong or whatever.

Instead we have a thread full of ideas and comments from nearly every possible angle you could have in this game. Its clear that many different people play the game for a wide variety of different reasons despite some players trumpeting of buzzwords and ideological jargon about what the game is.

And now reports of IP farming for more goon meta gaming. Apparently the legal section of the website states it will use IP addresses for law enforcement reasons, but they are using them for their own meta gaming and out of game harassment. I guess the hard lesson he learned from fanfest did not sink in.

Question is how many of the goon staff will he drag down with him when the cheese head popo show up and shut down this operation.

Nerf goon whinging

It seems to be the case that the more folk consider themselves to be pixel hardmen, the more they cry.

I personally don't understand the goon hate. I missed that memo apparently. I've only ever seen civil, if a maybe a bit tongue in cheek, comments from "goons" on the forums.

I have a novel idea. How about the talk about the merits of someone's argument/comment instead what letters come after their name.

I may be an alt, but I cry less, whinge less and talk more sense than your main.

This is my main. :P
