I never get mad at a player who watches for probes in low sec, Watches local if hes smart and gets out good job I won't cry. I will ask him nicely not to warp out of that lvl 4 hes running in that low sec tho.

To give some contrast to the example in the OP, when I'm prowling for ratters to gank, I can jump into a system, get my system scanner running, and during those 10 seconds determine what ranges any ratters on my d-scanner are at, compare those to the results from my system scanner, and be in warp to the anomaly a ratter is in less than 15 seconds after jumping into the system. Without resorting to tactics like awoxing, it is as right as you can possibly get when it comes to ganking. Nevertheless, between those 12-15 seconds to locate a target and the 10-15 seconds required for even a very short (<1AU) warp, he's long gone...because he's got a minimum twenty second head start in which to be "right". That same head start means that the PvEr doesn't even have to do everything right to escape - he can be slow and sloppy and still get away.

Food for thought Blink

Exactly. The PvE player does not have to scan down the safe POS or the station or even the safe spot. It is just a simple right click, select *safety* and they are gone. And most of the time they have done that long before you have even jumped into system due to the hunter being reported in intel channels.

Now if fitting and tactics used to PvE were closer to what is found in actual PvP, then if they were caught they might actually stand a chance.

Still, this is only one of the issues. Another is local - the cancer of this game.

Well I wasn't 100% prepared, as I left myself vulnerable to receiving your whiny ass convo, so there you go, you got me, with words at least. If your tears were a weapon they'd be a snowball CXV, doing negative damage, but damage nonetheless.

Congrats.

Won't happen again, as you're now on /ignore.



This is a good point. While I was reading the OP, I was waiting for the convo to be a distraction for a point to get landed.

Local. The only reason that more than 3% of the population lives outside highsec.

Remove local, watch as low and null empty.
