See me reply to the other guy who posted the same thing.

That happened ages ago; it's not like it was yesterday and wasn't the cause of my post.

No, baddies who think this game is pay-to-win do.

I'm glad better players separated you not only with your isk but with real life money.

So you bought that amount of plex to bling out your mission boat, and ignore the pop up box about going into low sec?

Pff who needs to actually learn how to play a game when you can just throw money at it and expect to win?

The harshest lessons are the best remembered. Weren't you a n00b once?

It's a low-sec kill , this thread is about high-sec ganking/griefing and so where his comments . I'm not saying i agree with what he says , but what he says is not because of that killmail that much should be easy to spot.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Not wishing to go off on a tangent, but how exactly are they better? I CBA looking at the KM again, but there were 4 or 5 IIRC - if they were better why not just attack me 1v1? Because they didn't want to lose of course.

Better my arse.

Oh, and FYI, I don't think this game is 'Pay to Win', but if I can do anything to make my Care Bear or PVP life more comfortable then I'll do it. Don't be mad because you're poor, it's very distasteful Sad

it's always good to be satisfied by something (done by others) when you have nothing to be satisfied from your personal achievements....

Well, they were better because they didn't fly a 3bn isk mission ship into lowsec

Anyway, back on topic, doesn't the fact that you lost that in lowsec prove exactly what I'm saying: That people in low (like you were when you were in that 3bn isk ship) can be just as weak and helpless in face of gankers as people in high, and therefore saying it's unfair to gank in high and people should instead go to low/null is a silly idea, since there's no difference to the fairness or ability of other players? The only thing that changes is how MANY targets there are

Bloating about spending a lot of rl cash on this game in particular usually is not the best approach here.But seeing as your on a roll making yourself a target i'd say carry on , we allready passed that point of no return a few posts back .

I'm not a shrinking violet, sorry if that bothers you. The more fights the better IMHO, that's what the game's about right?

the main problem of Eve Online (IMO) is: to be successful in EVe Online you need to be coward (evading losses), trustless (corp/alliance theft), choose weakest (killmails don't smell) and all such stuff.

lmao, I love this guy. Boasting about how much money he has in real life (and throwing more insults my way, as if he knows how wealthy I am) and topping it off with calling me distasteful. If anything's distasteful mate it's waving around your disposable income as if it makes you superior.

PS: How much money you have doesn't somehow make stupid actions less stupid.
