Counterpoint -> you can be ATK and still get OMGWTFZERG!



I know man. Remember a SC2 game a few months ago. I blinked when the match started...game over, man.

The professional players scare me. Go watch some of their training videos, it's intense.


There's a 16-year-old Korean pro named Life who can conjure up 500,000 zerglings before the 5:00 mark. If the 500,000 zerglings don't destroy his opponent, the 500,000 roaches he rallies in by 7:30 to follow up will.

OMGWTFZERG





I got sent to Korea. Made the mistake of agreeing to play Star Craft against one of my unit's KATUSAs.
I didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. It was over the minute I said "Yeah, I'll play".

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

What is with the carebear hate?

Countless threads on the issue...
Theres even pvp'ers who dedicate themselves to killing highsec miners...

What is the big deal? Why do some of you go as far as to make crusades against Hisec?

So a person plays a different type of EVE then you? Why does that frustrate you so much? I for one sit in a hangar all day staring at my hyperion , thats EVE to me... literally thats what ive done the last month, thats why I pay $15 a month... Why should that bother you?

Its not like theres a lack of pvp'ers, you guys blow each other up all the time. So why try and push people who just wanna fly around in a ship and blow up rats, or mine the heck out of an asteroid.. or like me just like big ships in general and stare at them?

Let me break this down for you, I've only been here a month and I can already tell this will happen.

If you push into Highsec your gonna lose casual non pvp players to other space games , especially Star Citizen. Sure you can go with the mentality "Haha leave noob" but lets face it , your economy, and CCP's income, largely comes from that sit around and do nothing playerbase.

Whos gonna mine all that ore for the ships to be made so you can keep blowing them up?
Whos gonna pay for all those expansions that you like getting free so much?
Whos gonna buy the plex and sell to you for ISK so you dont have to subscribe?

SO please someone explain to me why we all hate Carebears? Just because you cant touch their privates without getting blown up by concord? Is that what this is really all about?

I dont usually like to get involved in Eve crap, I like my little hyperion in her little station, its probably always gonna sit there and keep being my money sink. But its starting to get annoying that I read all these threads and suicide ganker mottos that have no sort of logical thought about the effect obliterating highsec would have on the game.

YOUR EVE WOULD NOT EXSIST WITHOUT IT, THIS IS WHY CCP KEEPS IT, LUCKILY THEY ARENT AS DUMB AS YOU.

Thats my TL;DR.


Sheep vs wolves, that's all there is too it, plus success in eve always involves predatory behaviour.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Arbitrary comment. I do have an EVElopedia entry, though. And I gave that "reimbursing their ships" schtick up, a while back. ISK only holds out for so long, though it is fun, every once in a while, to bring yourself back up from a zero wallet balance.

You should join us. I think you'll enjoy it. Theres no feeling quite as good as knowing you are making a real difference in high sec by spreading the Good News.

I also look forward to bestowing my birthday present to the OP later this evening. I love helping people.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Lol, I guess you are confused about what Sol does for a living. It sure doesn't have to do with enforcing a lame code for miners in hisec. He was right though, you guys are getting spergy.

Also, I was talking to the OP earlier and I don't think she wants your 'gift' either.

The ultimate point of this thread is to point out no one wants to change YOUR style of play,

Do not force yours on others.

What would you do to defend this game having nothing but highsec? Thats all this is about, keeping a balance, understanding that highsec is the yin to pvp low/null secs yang and should not be tampered with or risk destabilizing the 10 year prosperity this game holds claim to


Wait a minute, you are exactly wanting to change someone elses style of play.
Your entire thread is trying to get people to play differently.

And I do indeed regard crazy forum demands to make high-sec more/less safe as a valid playstyle that people pay their subscriptions to do.

My answer to that is Highsec is a staging ground for new players, there needs to be safety till they can learn how to play the game.



Why? EvE isn’t safe, this will just create a false impression of what the game has to offer, thus giving us a net increase in the amount of pointless threads.

Just like this one.


I think you really have forgotten what its like to be a new player? I suggest deleting all your stuff and starting from scratch, and then tell me u arent happy to be safe in highsec running missions and mining


I've been around for maybe 3 months now.. I'm still very new since I am still learning. I have never been ganked, plenty of people helped in Help Chat(miss it to this day) and still help in Help. You are still relatively safe if you play smart. Those new players you probably speak of 1.) didnt' read anything on this game or 2.) come from shti games like WoW(Love Blizzard for WC and SC) that killed the mmorpg genre and think everything should be handed to them. This isn't that game or any games that have come out since it.

We want intelligent players here that understand and grasp that this game isn't for everyone its for those that actually want to maybe accomplish doing something, anything since you can do anything in this game. If you don't understand that then this game isn't for you.

It's her birthday and I want to make it special. I don't really understand the devil comment though because I am quite often compared to a real life saint.

It's actually very simple:

What the carebears say and what the PvP'ers say are actually the same thing. Carebears want everyone to leave them alone (dictating that everyone should play the game their way by leaving them alone) and PvP'ers kill everyone saying that it's a PvP game and you have to accept it (therefore playing it there way).

There is no difference between the two groups. You can try and deny it, but there isn't.

When everyone realises that this is a sandbox game and that everyone is affected by everyone else, then people might start understanding and the bickering will stop... Actually scratch that, we're human, the bickering will never stop Big smile

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

First, these New Order people are carebears. Predatory but carebears nonetheless. They like killing folks who can't fight back. "Oh but it's role playing." RIght. Should be called "Georgy Porgy."

If one is so caught up in a videogame that they "hate" someone, its time to reboot.

Now on the other hand carebears who whine when they know what EVE is about are just contemptible. There are ways to prevent getting ganked, period.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

I blew out my candle ... -.- my wish was that New Order was dismantled and their share holders assets given to every miner they destroyed.

*edit* id force the issue but that involves leaving the hangar

*edit 2* not sure if your allowed to change wishes, but id like to tack on every one of the share holders has to sing im a little tea pot while doing it and upload the .wav file

Make sure you dock up first



I never undock.. unless its to mine.. which i do for like 30 min


Ok, but are you thinking at all what are you going to do after you have finished training all your mining skills to the max?
It does not even take a full year to do all of it.

So what do you train next? What will you try to do next? Mining is not the end of the game for eve. It is just a start.

I can understand a lot of players get started with mining. and you can always go back to that for a source of income later if you choose, but after you train for other things and start earning isk faster it opens other doors for you. Unless you really enjoy mining. Players are free to do what ever they want in eve. Just know that their is always a cost to do business.
