EVE General Discussion

The level of idiocy and ignorance displayed in your post is absolutely staggering.

I don't think it is the loss but the Gank. I think they would mind a lot less if they ever had a fighting chance to win.

As for War Decs that one is simple. One side War is all they ever do. They are not poor and need to farm up or have other gameplay styles they want to do. On top of that they are armed and your not, they have Neut RR, Play Endless Station Games in over tanked ships and are generally experts at not fighting you for fear of KB Shame. So what could have been an Awesome 20 on 20 Battlecruiser Fight at a Gate turns into 2 Megathons on an Undock with 5 Guardians ready for a warp in on the one 3 month old Character inside.

The biggest problem not counting the Neut RR is plain Logistics(The Transport Kind). Most of the 10-50 PvE Corps can not get 20 people in a harmonized fleet of say Drake, Rapier, Scimitar or Abbadon/Geddon, Guardian, Tackle. It is because everyone is training in different directions not expecting fleet needs then a whole bunch of Maelstroms or Canes show up and there training is so all over the place they can not pop out a decent fleet that would ever stand a chance.

From what I have heard it is the idea that they will never win that is the issue. Everyone who thinks PvP is fun wins at it some of the time. They get to pop a few enemy ships before they go down. Unless they have a ghost of a chance these people won't enjoy it but do not want to give up what they have already.

Not suggesting big things need to change like Dec policies or Concord gank changes it is just one of the reasons it happens. If I were to make suggestion about how to change things, make PvP information be placed somewhere where PvE Corps can get at it without looking because most won't and an Arena type system for practice. But that is just me.

Good thing no one is going to vote for you.

That is just YOUR opinion, sir.

Its true, I have never killed T'Elk

There will never be an option to opt out from pvp. Guaranteed.

If hisec people don't like the current gank and concord mechanics, then they should focus on that: are they working as intended? Have gankers perfected the system so well that victims are now at an excessive disadvantage disproportionate to the effort the gankers are putting in? This is the approach that might get some ear time with CCP and might not cause a huge backlash among those who care.

Campaigning for a "pvp off" switch will just get you laughed at.

Shhh, your time is up. Go somewhere else and try to impress others. Personally, I just wish you would unsub and get it over wtih.

Not wanting to lose is a pretty normal trait, however the typical highsec carebear doesn'rt seem to see the pointlessness in acquiring isk if there's nothing to replace.

Getting blown up and having a laugh in the process is the only purpose isk have in this game in the long run.

Unfortunately, todays games don't teach people how to lose anymore - there's always an autosave or tombstone to fall back to and so people are used to be constantly spoon-fed 'success', which has left them incapable to cope with the loss of something as tremendously important as pixel-ships.

Compared to most MMOs, Pacman was hardcore - if you lost all your lives, you had to insert another quarter and start all over again.

Yes of course. We absolutely need to leave the forums full of one line posters like you so you can all rub each others private bits.

I am one of many who are becoming increasingly amused by people who complain about what OTHERS want simply because it doesn't suit what THEY want.

Kinda ironic dontcha think?

To the Apostle:

The games been around for a little over 8 years now. Do you think that CCP is going to change a core game mechanic because a bunch of new players don't like it?

Personally, I'm tired of hearing all the whining and complaining. If you don't like how the game is made, either make your own version of EVE to compete with, or stop playing and go do something else.

Simple really.
