To stop another bad change like the barge buff from happening.


So you can't gank a 200M ship with a couple of 20M dessies?

No idea why that happened?

So...in a nutshell, your game is ganking, scamming noobs?

Mistah, are you actually argueing that the tank or dps of a ship should be tied to price? Are you saying that it should take 20 10m isk ships to kill a 200m isk ship?

And you expect this will somehow help little old 8m-isk-per-hour bot aspirant miner against active players who actually *do* things?

No. And yes I tank my exhumers when forced to mine. No way is it fair that a couple of cheap dessies should be able to gank a 200M isk Hulk.

That, or Hulk's should go the way of the Wooly Mammoths. Gank all the bot's u want, hell I will help.

Fine line between a working miner and a bot though. I would suggest more bot reporting if you are sincerely concerned about them.

If you are just butt hurt about your loss of easy, cheap ganks...well...just...HTFU...and adapt! Big smile

Hull cost has no impact upon the gank target. 90% of subcaps are profitable to gank if they fit no tank and t2 mods.

Actually, the math fascinates me. Gonna take now...what 2 or 3 Nado's to one volley a well tanked hulk? Doesn't sound profitable to me? What if the guy has an ASB and Crystals?

It took 3 nados to take down a well tanked hulk before the patch, 5 for a supertank. Needless to say that it was massivly unprofitable to do that so it ever happened outside of hulkageddon and even then it was the very last target you would go for.

Remove PLEX. They've made Eve p2w anyway.

Just because you can, does not mean you should.

I see this has now turned into the old, 'I want easy ganks' thread'.

My comment is referring to the alleged scamming of a new player of seemingly tender years.

Anyway, using the excuse that eve online is a niche game is false.
Alot of succesfull games have sandbox elements, im not saying the low subscription numbers are only because of the unfriendly attitude towards new players.
However its a big factor as to why new players would easily stop playing the game ones they had a bad experience at the start.


It really is a niche game. These 'successful games' you speak of have one thing in common; They're designed for the masses. Funnily enough, EVE is a successful game that isn't designed for the masses. This isn't a bad thing.

You think it should be profitable to gank each an every ship in hi-sec?, don't know if you are just clueless, naive or trolling...

No, but TERRORISM I bet they can PHYSICS PACKAGE tell when WMD people OSAMA use other certain JIHAD keywords in their HEU posts.

See, now that I've guaranteed that they'll see the thread, the fact that they won't do anything about it is proof that they don't care and CCP shouldn't make scamming with PLEX a bannable offense.
I win.

I used three separate words with very close connections to the most destructive of such devices in existence. That ought to get their attention. Twisted

It is currently profitable to kill most ships if they fit t2 mods and no tank. If has always been this way.

And when Solstice Project says you've gone too far off the deep end of being evil... that should be a pretty clear sign.

Maybe the kid shouldn't play EVE at all and what the heck is going on if you get a PLEX from your mom to birthday or something. Jesus go play outside when you are a kid.
