EVE General Discussion

So you're saying someone else's playstyle should be eliminated because you find it distasteful?

Are you denying that the AI change is a nerf to Ninja-Looting? And yes, of course I know that the intent is to kill the guy in the battleship who thinks he can get a free frigate kill.

Claims that activities in a game make you a Sociopath. Check.
Claims that competitive games aren't meant to be competitive. Check.
Claims that anyone who disagrees with him only does so due to real life issues. Check.

Bonus check for confusing Sociopathy with being a "pervert."

Wow.


By the way, there are a number of fine cooperative MMOs available. I suggest you try them out.

At this point, I think we may as well let the thread die. It's just Pipa vs Everyone Else, going around in circles. We'll never convince Pipa that this is a good thing.

While I agree with you a little part of my brain enjoys making her/him look like an idiot.

Ingame activities that are not aimed at ingame gains, but at rejoicing in imagining a random dude raging, because you've pushed the game envelope so far as to break his immersion, cheesed your way to play to win, and taunted him by pretending it's only a game, when you don't consider it as such, but as a platform to carry out vicious tendencies without fear of retribution, that is indeed sociopathy.

Competitive gaming is an oxymoron. Which means, gaming isn't meant to be competitive. Competitive online apps are a degeneration of gaming, they separate people and make them resent each other, instead of bringing them together in a storytelling that will gather everyone in a fun and exciting make-believe, which what gaming really is.

Gankbears all have real life issues. My friends who love online games are the most meek people ever, and strangely enough, they have zero interest in DOTA-likes and EvE, as they consider competitivity in gaming an abomination. And guess what, all the gamers I've met who adore those kinds of game, have blatant emotional issues, a severe lack of empathy, regardless of their social status however. Not all gankbears are RL losers economically.

Sociopathy is a byproduct of perversion, which is grossly the inability to interact with other people in healthy and caring ways. Sociopaths will seldom carry out their dreams of violence and sadism in the flesh, as they could end up completely ostracized, or in jail.
Online communities are a dream come true for them. They can be vicious, disruptive and annoying as much as their suffering needs, in order to be soothed.

Permabans would be needed for this minority, but that means less revenue.


However, don't worry. I have little doubt that CCP will allow transferred killrights to be seen by criminals. Why so? because gankbears will love docking up their most sought after characters, waiting for the killrights to expire, and play other ones. Which means, they'll buy account after account, and more revenue for CCP, which has a very cynical approach to the supposed harshness of New Eden, whose environment is very much safe for anyone who doesn't mind investing in alts and doesn't care about coherence in his/her approach to virtual avatars.

Would you suggest that games like EVE cater to them?

Off topic, you did a great job with the tooltips on weapons so you can see optimal range! :) Makes life a bit easier.

And you go flying around with your character sheet open? So you can compare the list with local? In case you didn't get it, I was throwing you a bone. But since you're here to just troll...



What kind of nonsense is this? Gross assumptions do no on e any good. For all you know they could very well be there for a tea party. Or to gank someone else. You don't know why they are there. Unless you compared them to your extensive list of kill-rights that you apparently keep open at all times.



We call this nulsec. Try it some time. But for you nulbabes, I suppose CCP could create a new color tag for someone with kill-rights on you. I hope they don't. Because you broke the law, and deserve to be punished. This is of course why I live in nul. Shoot anyone whenever you want. No consequences other than what they or their bros mete out to you.



The key there is bolded, legal aggression. Again, the answer is nul. As well as the kill=-rights list you so impressively corrected me on earlier. So what are you complaining about when you are merely regurgitating what I ahve already said?

You're nothing but a forum troll. And a bad one at that.

You seemed to miss that the D-Scan example is what a Miner can do to break the element of surprise the Ganker is paying their ship for. With a Blind Transferrable killright system, there is nothing you can do to break the game mechanically enforced element of surprise.

Anyway, just like it's the miner's business whether or not they avail themselves of the tools the game gives them to figure out when a gank is incoming (HINT: 6 Catalysts on short range D-Scan are not well wishers), it's my business whether or not I avail myself of the tools the game gives me. The important thing is that those tools exist. (By the way, open killright list > right click > add contact > bad or terrible standing, depending on your preferences).




So, uh, what part of Nullsec mechanics grants you a game mechanically enforced element of surprise? Ah, that's right, there are none. In Nullsec, you know exactly who can legally shoot you (Hint: It's everyone).

By the way, you are punished for breaking the law in HS. You lose your ship.



And in Null, you know exactly who is legally allowed to shoot you. Just because the set includes everyone doesn't change the fact that you know the parameters of the set.

And I live in Stain right now. But that's not at all relevant to a discussion of HS mechanics.

of course. I am eager to see how people will come hunt me
