EVE General Discussion

The Original Load of Nonsense was too long to quote so here I go:

A couple of questions,

1. What in game content has Chribba created? I assume he interacts with other players and has created awesome out of game applications but other than a call to defend his space station I don't recall a lot of Chribba hosted events or at least events on a regular basis. Of course I might just be bitter that he's never responded to my multiple valentines cards and or invites to the Bahamas but maybe I'm not his type.

2. Since when was the grinding to buy and sell PLEX not directly interacting with the game? This same action goes on in nullsec in all those plexes and asteroid belts and sites and so on so stop pretending this only happens in hisec. Also maybe some people just can't afford the fifteen to whatever (depending on the number of characters) each month and decide to take this route because they love the game.

3. Don't interact? Have a bad attitude? Did someone not return you space phone call? In what way is the lonely miner different than the carrier, battleship or titan pilot running plexes alone? Not talking? Hiding when you come into system? It sounds like you haven't spent much time in Null or Losec where the attention adverse are just as common as highsec.

4. Some of the largest alliances have five, six, seven thousand members. On their largest fleet ops they seem to bring what... five six hundred, maybe a thousand. Can we assume that the rest are alts or maybe... maybe pilots with a BAD BAD ATTITUDE who are not interacting the way you think they should. This is the bottom line of why a lot of people do not want to go to Nullsec, the demand that they be at the social beck and call of whomever whenever.

Can we please, please find another scapegoat in Eve other than the hisec miner? Damn at least James315 is trying to conquer part of hisec in his bid to be micro-tyrant of the month. He's using his blathering nonsense to reinforce his interacting with the game.

Alos, what happened to the Bling worshipping Incursion runner? Why aren't we punching them in the forums anymore? I thought they were bad for the game.

Oh' and per those whiny hisec pilots whinning until they get the changes they want.. I seem to remember an ancient and noble beast that roamed the starry plains of nullsec, a terror of unknown proportions that the very few tamed, the even fewer held in thrall... oh' tracking Titan where hence thou gone?

Boy, OP deserved an e-wedgie and got that, and an e-swirly too.

I dislike highbears, that are given options to tank their ship, but fit for utility instead, and then moan about losing it to a suicide gank...
I dislike nullbears, that whine, *****, and moan that an AFK cloaker is preventing them from ratting, or that wont tolerate even reasonable changes to local because it'll make them more vulnerable....
I dislike Wormbears, that continually suggest new ways to secure their WH's, and balk at any mechanic that might make their space actually dangerous...
I dislike Lowsecers, that want to make mission running safe or catching mission runners easy...
and
I dislike everyone that uses cheap, broken, tricks to avoid in-game losses or abuse people, be it logging off after jumping into a gate camp, be it scooping ships into a carrier/orca, be it abusing the station-trade window, be it . . .

Basically, I hate everyone that feels entitled to get easy kills, and I hate everyone that feels entitled to be super-safe!!!

Is the OP serious? i thought it was really funny. i mean he made it sound so honest and yet i envision him sitting at his computer for 15hours a day thinking of ways to ruin others fun because he isn't having any by playing with himself.

Well we at least know why it appeared to be so well written. Can you say Plagiarism?

Thread cleaned of "Jew" references. No more of them, please.

I find it highly amusing that the highsec haters don't realise that they themselves have created the problem. Time to face up to the reality of EvE. Lowsec is a wasteland of your own creation, and null is full of blues. Your selfishness has created a system whereby there is little reward to measure up to the insurmountable risks of traveling outside the comfort zone of highsec. EvE's learning curve is HUGE. Highsec is there to provide an area of safety where newer players can learn at least a part of this mass of knowledge, before (theoretically) advancing to low and null space. However, the true parasites of eve are waiting for them, eager for that pointless kill to show how awesome their pvp skills are. It's no wonder that newer players are put off, and that the majority of players reside in highsec (or stop playing). True, some of these players fall through the cracks and succeed, and go on to live in these areas of space. Others take the risk and throw themselves into the depths of null (and by god, i salute you!), but many more only experience a quick death in the jaws of a uber-pvp gatecamp, or be risk-free ganked in the very space that is supposedly safe. Such is the nature of EvE today, with cowardly campers and highsec gankers forcing their pvp onto players that are unwilling or unable to fight back. Its no wonder thay choose to stay in high, where the rewards, though small, do measure up to the risks.

Thats not even mentioning players that play EvE for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with PvP. The highsec haters will never understand this, thinking as they do that their opinion is the only one that counts, and that everyone should think as they do. But there are indeed many people that play eve that have zero interest in PvP, and will continue to subscribe to move stuff around, trade, build stuff, endlessly mine or do mission after mission after mission. Personally, i don't think this is a bad thing. EvE is a glorious game, that caters to many different types of players, both pvp and pve. Shouting "pvp-only-game!" while exploding their ship isn't going to change that. They will continue to play only in highsec, because that is what they enjoy about this game.

I personally thought that the suggested changes to the lowsec gategun mechanics was the single best suggestion for the betterment of EvE. It effectively leveled the playing field, and gave highsec players the chance to get a "foot in the door" into lowsec without immediately getting owned in a gatecamp. More players in lowsec = more targets, literally a win-win. The only difference was that these targets would need to be hunted and destroyed in system, while they are running sigs or belts. But no, the lowsec parasites couldn't handle the idea of their victims no-longer shuffling single-file into their uber-pvp camp. The idea of such a change to their privilaged niche was completely unacceptable, as if sitting on a gate is all they know. L33T PVP!! I guess the best targets are the ones that don't shoot back, right?

(And no, i don't live in highsec!)

You think the "pvp pilot" may have some industrial alts to build stuff too? Why do you think people would only do one thing in the game?

I think my sarcasm was mistaken for a real line of thinking.

Yawn, wake me up when it ends...
