If you dont crave pvp and want it all the time, you should quit this game. The game is for pvp, thats it. Anything else exists just to facilitate and service pvp. All mechanics in the game are designed to provide variety to the pvpers.

Mining, industry, and PVE exist only to create an artificial value to pvp loss, thus giving pvp "meaning".

The sooner you accept it, you'll be happier in game and out (even if that means playing another game).


O.o

This is a series of the silliest statements I have ever heard.
And yet he's closer to the actual reality of the game than you ever will be.

Navy Scorpion IS A BAD FIT.

There is no way to fit the hull correctly... its a bad ship.


Finally... sell your character on the Bazaar and go back to flying the easier missions you had fun doing. You won't have to pay for EVE and you'll have fun 3-4 hours a week.

Griefing, scamming, and abusing rules has become harder every single year since I started in '05.

In this situation you simply shot a guy, and he came back with friends for repping support and killed you.

You now have a better understanding of how this game works, than you did before the lose. You should be thankful for the knowledge that has been dropped on you.

Yup it's true.

I'm mostly a carebear but not because I dislike PVP but because I take my money earning casually. I'll play around with PVE set ups and try different ships in different places and I end up spending a lot of my earned ISK on that. But if time and money warrant it then I'll occasionally go roam out in low on my own, maybe run into some people, and inevitably die :D

If I did anything else then what is the ISK I earn for? Oh yay, you have the best missioning battleship evar, now what? Even if you could get into a titan and completely avoid PVP all along the way....what would the point of the titan be?

As for the OP it's obvious that he shot at a ninja salvager that he shouldn't have in the first place and got pwned. I think the fact that a Dirt Nap Squad guy helped is probably our clue. But still, in the end only one guy was on your KM so if anything the other guys were doing logi and all is legit...

Ive just got to say,,,, HAHAHA it took you 5 years to come up with that badly fitted Navy Scorpion!?

The one truely astounding thing I find about this is that you managed to stay in your bubble for so long, cleary the high sec mechanics do need changing, but for the opposite reasons than what you are suggesting.

Hi,

I've removed a lot of mean-spirited comments from this topic and moved it to the right area.

If you've got nothing nice to say, saying nothing is the option that doesn't break the rules, folks!

You are doing your job here, I cannot blame you for that, and please don't take it as a personal attack.
But I hate how all those threads always end up here, feels like OoPE is a toxic waste dump for terrible threads.

You see, there is a thread here about a guy who just realized that he doesn't like eggs now as an adult quite as much as he used to like them when he was little.
Good stuff.
Highly relevant to OoPE.
You keep flushing those constructive threads off the frontpage with all the GD sewage that we get.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Welcome to OOPE, GD's trash overflow bin. It used to be a nice place until the powers that be decided that one sub forum simply couldn't handle the excessive amount of **** that builds up in it.

Problem here is greed.

OP apparently considered the loot "his" and didn´t take it kindly when it was "stolen" from him instead of just ignoring the intruder.

Oh, and not knowing basic game mechanics (the consequences) like aggression timers and killrights didn´t help either but there is still hope that some lurking soul learns from this story....

I wouldn't say greed. Just a combination of ignorance of mechanics and EVE culture - and lack of a healthy 'flight' reflex.

I can 'get' popping the lootzninja. Completely understandible.
What I don't get is why he didn't then abandon the site immediately and run like hell for a Safe. That's not greed, that's lack of concern for protecting one's hard(?) work in acquiring such an expensive (if laughably-fit) ship.

So let me get this straight : after 5 years of constant hardcore carebearing (not leaving highsec often or at all, seldom if ever engaging in PvP, etc), you believe the vast majority of your assets were represented by a single mediocre fit-for-missioning ship you ended up losing ?

SERIOUSLY ?
Ignoring for a while the low hanging fruits of "ha-ha, bad ship, bad fit, pauper carebear, baiter-taker, and other usual blahblah", here's a hint :
THE CHARACTER ITSELF.

It should be more valuable than that ship... FAR MORE VALUABLE.
And you didn't lose that. You decided to abandon it by quitting Eve, if you end up going through with it.
If anything, you could try selling it on the open market for ISK first, just to see how much it brings in. If you're even halfway serious about quitting, there's nothing stopping you from doing that before then, just in case.
At a minimum, it should bring at least 10 bil ISK (or 10 times more than what you lost), if not closer to 20 bil ISK or even higher.

So, no, you did not lose everything you had in a short unconsensual PvP spat you yourself enabled. That was only a minor portion of your actual in-game wealth. You lost everything by quitting.

Really, you removed my one-line comment about what safeties are for? It wasn't mean-spirited, just bluntly honest.

The post was clear and concise, without a shred of deception or name calling. Think of all the lives that could be saved if only people could've read my comment about safeties! But now? Sadly, I fear the OP and people like him may misunderstand further, thinking that safeties will protect them from themselves.

It's all your fault Suvetar!

I'm confused. Is this a stealth troll or a stealth "Turn this game into STO" thread?

Well, thats what opponents of the new crime watch system claimed... the rest of us just smiled and kept our mouths shut. Smile

People tend to forget that for "everyone can shoot a player with a suspect flag" to be a detriment to such activities there has to be other people present and motivated to take advantage of that.

Even then you can always come back in an appropriate ship and with remote repping/boosting friends to take advantage of those players if you think you can take them.
