Crime & Punishment

The problem seems to revolve around the short length of the above stated measurement.

OP tried to apply his WOW knowledge to EvE, resulting in the loss of his ships and now desperately seeks validation from other players to sooth his bruised ego. All of you heartless C&P denizens are instead refusing to cooperate, taking the opportunity to troll the OP with facts and policy statements gleaned from this painfully old debate.

If it helps you feel any better about it OP, I can tell you that once upon a time it was easy to get other carebears to jump on the "salvaging is broken" bandwagon. You would have had several supporting replies by now. However, this argument has been made and refuted so many times by now that your entire thread is a cliche'. The bottom line is that CCP has already heard all sides of this, and in response to your concerns has graced us with the Noctis to combat ninjas. With its ridiculous tractor-beam range and salvaging speed, it really makes it almost impossible to salvage the missions of those who actually care. As far as "difficult to swallow" mechanics go, I have yet to read a rational explanation for why tractor beams won't work on yellow wrecks.

Oh Mr. Kane you always make me laugh and my coworkers look at me oddly.

OP,
If you haven't left by now please allow me to try to explain why you are getting so much attention from this forum. Once upon a time there was no safety switch. The aggression mechanics were often obscure to new players and the predators actively tried to mislead you into violating them. As such, the groaning and bashing of teeth over adding this safety switch was pretty loud.

In your case, you voluntarily chose to over ride a mechanic that was put in place to protect you from making a 850m mistake. And then having done so come and cry foul. The mechanic exists to keep you from breaking the law. Much the same way a speed limiter does on a car.

Believe me when I say that this was strictly your own fault. Learn from the mistake. It is all you can do.

And remember no matter how hard you believe a thing doesn't make it so. You can not shoot the guy who cuts you off in traffic no matter if you think he deserves it.

Let me get this right. You seem to be saying that the act of him salvaging your wrecks caused him to get kill rights against you....

Or did that happen when you blew up his ship?

See the difference?

Not a Machariel. After raging in local for half an hour, using words that a lady as me is ashamed to even think of, he opened fire with T1 fit Coercer. He got me to 98% shields before brave Concord arrived to my rescue. That's where the kill right came from.

He had two corpmates with him. They decided to yellow-box me to death while their boss was melting away.

You're the one responsible for the impressive display of anger, ignorance and tears from the OP?
Kudos, you have my respect for providing such excellent content



Colloquially known as the carebear stare

Ty Ruby, much appreciated

OP, one day I was doing missions and some guy came into my mission and started salvaging, when I do missions I tend to salvage after, anyway I went in and as I was tractoring wrecks he salvaged them. I was a bit annoyed, so I left him too it and did another mission, but I blow up each wreck, so after a while he comes in and sees no wrecks and me blowing up a ship and then the wreck and he decides to go elsewhere. No loss to Concord and no thread that makes you a target. Don't get mad, ruin it for them...

You're in a PvP corp and you're complaining about salvage....... about salvage!?

Wow. Quite a read but this bit caught my eye. I have to get me one of them! How much DPS does a savager do? Sounds awesome.

As for the rest of the rant, working as intended. Salvaging, even ninja salvaging, is deliberately allowed as a noob profession.

Edit: oh my word, it has an L in it! Now go learn some PvP in lowsec before Mr Kane catches you in something expensive.
