Crime & Punishment

I disagree that everyone is doing the things you do not like, I think it is more of a minority. You seem to think that sandbox games should evolve the way you want them to. If they are not evolving that way then you were out voted by the rest of the players. There are things in the game I don't particularly like, I find ways to combat them, it is called adaptation. I don't spend time crying about them. People crying about games is why most other MMO's are very easy and have little pvp. I think you are the person with limits here, you see people doing one thing because that is what you are looking for, not because it is what is going on. I see many different people doing many different things. I think, perhaps, your problem lies with you doing only 1 thing and being thwarted at it. So rather than adapt and find either a new thing to do in game or a different way of doing the same thing you come here and blame the game and/or the other players. I think you are a large part of the problem you are having. I started this toon as a miner, now I have expanded him into a mission runner and am training some pvp elements to get a more rounded character who can do several things. If there is a lot of ganking of miners going on I can haul, If haulers are having problems I can run missions, if war-dec'd I canm fight. I found in EVE one should not be a 1 trick pony. Fly safe and adapt to the circumstances.

Nope.. it is you who fail at comprehension. You are pointing out problems that no one else has. You cannot understand this game, please save us the pain of reading your whiney posts and find a game you can understand. Hello Kitty seems to be your speed.

Well if we are going to go off on rules that do not make sense.

There is no way a projectile which barely flies supersonic should reach its target instantly when a missile which flies 2-3 times faster takes several seconds to reach its target.

There is no way we move through the system at speeds greater than the universal constant speed of light and yet retain mass rather than be converted to energy.

There is no way that when our ships take structural damage our ship systems do not start to fail.

Oh wait, this is a game. I either learn to accept the rules given, or I don't. If a rule does not make sense I challenge it or propose a fix in the Features and Ideas section, not the crime and punishment section.

Did I mention the blinkers? Clue: The ones you are wearing.

Just because you don't see a problem until CCP finally figures it out does not mean the problem is not there, it just mean it hasn't been fixed yet.

I have not played or heard of "Hello KItty", but glad to know you have, and even happen to know at what "speed" it seems to play.

But I get it, the universe is "just the way you like it.". well, It's not just your universe.

I would've summarized this game as Somalia In Space!

-The Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.
-Morality is subjective.
-Justice is non existent.
-Revenge is sweet.
-The strong bully the weak.
-RL codes of conduct hold no value ingame.
-Civil conversation is just code for "wait right there, my backup is on their way."
-Greed is the driving force behind everything ingame.
-Might does indeed make right.
-Loyalty is for those who think their superiors protect them.
-Anything goes.
-Opportunistic players thrive.
-Survival of the fittest.
-Gain at the expense of others is often more profitable than an "honest" days work.
-If you're not willing to fight for what you have, you don't deserve it and someone will eventually take it from you.
-Everything dies, sooner or later.

Players who emo rage quit fail to understand or refuse to acknowledge these basic tenets of EvE.

From a roleplaying perspective, how does an immortal being spend eternity? Doing the mundane things you do in RL has no meaning to an immortal. What is left is gaining and consolidating power. How you gain that power is what all capsuleers have to discover on their own.

You may feel it is like this, but it isn't. Sorry.

Yes, camping gates and systems and wormholes is part of the game, and one of many ways PVP occurs, but there are plenty others.

Not to mention it is easy to avoid gatecamps if have a) a friend or alt to scout you or b) even the slightest understanding of how the map and fitting mechanics work.

I have deleted some trolling from this thread.

We win! \o/

Well yes, that sounds about right. Certainly sounds a lot better thsn Spreadsheets Online, which is what you are suggesting it be turned into.

CSM minutes:

"... asked the team whether they were happy with the current status of gate-camping in low-sec, and whether they were concerned about its increase since Crimewatch was revamped."

"In 2013, he looks forward to a robust economy with many new players -- which he affectionately referred to as “cannon fodder” -- upon which the veterans could feed."

Playerbase enlarging:

"... Most long-term players have 3-4 accounts"

My OP is that it's harder for new players to get into the game, I think "being of a young character age" and reading every thing I can can get my hands on regarding EvE, qualifies me perfectly as having an opinion on the matter.
