EVE General Discussion

The direction of Rubicon and recent events make me wonder why null groups even care about high-sec. Mocking them I understand, but why be so fervent about destroying the mechanics of high-sec? Null already has their own space, and if high-sec brings more subscribers into the game then that gives CCP more money to develop the game for everyone, doesn't it?

So I did a qoogle search and found this topic in a thread from a year ago: Why does nullsec care so much about what highsec is doing?

Which referenced this article in the body: The Big Lie: The Fallacies of Demonisation

I think these are well worth the read for newer subscribers.

It seems the people in null really aren't that happy. Either they're in a system they control with not much they want to do, or they're in a massive battle with TIDI, bubbles, being a spec in a blob, or waiting for their FC to tell them what to do next. So they look over at high-sec and think what a fat, juicy target that they could completely burn and destroy in about three days. Damn the consequences because it would be a lot of fun for those three days.

Instead of sacrificing high-sec, maybe it would be better for CCP to figure out how to make the null alliances happy with where they are.

You both OBVIOUSLY don't get it.

Like, at all. You have this ridiculous "Saturday morning cartoon villain" vision of what motives people have for thinking a certain way.

And your post do not explain anything about "the true nullsec" mindset, it actualy sems to confirm what the poster above you wrote.
If you do not want to give meaningful answers then please do not add to the pile-up.

I can no longer live this lie.

You are right, OP.

2 weeks ago there was a mandatory meeting for -ALL- Null sec pilots to attend.

There the GBNSC [the Global Directors of the Null Sec Cartels] informed us that the time to strike was upon us.
The years of mock battles and fake practise wars has trained us for this very moment.
Years we pretended that we were all fighting one another when in actuality, we were just preparing.
Burn Jita? The Hulkagedons? ...All just small experiments to locate cracks in the armour.

But now its time...

On the 12th of December, the blue donut will finally reveal itself and crush the High sec forces and their pathetic Concord overlords!


Prepare yourself, OP...Null sec is coming...

But you are not against hiseccers then, you are against the very concept of hisec.
This is something you need to petition CCP for if you want hisec to disappear.

And as far as entitlement go, care to tell me again why nullsec ores saw tritanium and pyerite be added to their refining process ?
No entitled at all, of course.

I'm against the people, yes. Not the good ones that quietly go about their lives, not trying to impose their playstyle onto everyone. But the truly terrible ones that demand everything be handed to them, unleash a constant string of terrible F&I posts demanding that anything combat-related be nerfed into irrelevance or completely removed from the game... the ones who petition their stuff back when they lost it through their own lapse of judgement or failure to pay attention.

I'm against anyone who demands that I get slapped with a temp ban because I opened fire on their mining barge in lowsec. I live in that system... I have some damn good reasons for shooting the newbies and miners that I find in my static belts. I'm not sharing that reason with you because that would take an entire thread of its own to explain, but there's a damn good reason, no less... and it's not because I'm "griefing" or "looking for an easy target". I prefer an even match to taking out a week-old toon in a dessie, any day. But I will defend my system.

If what you say is true, then you seems to be among a minority of low/null sec players.
Most of them are gladly saying that they gank for the "tears" as they call it and for the egoboost they get out of a bloated killboard, to many it is a childish attitude.

On a personnal level, I toyed for a time with the idea of going solo mining in low sec systems, but even if it is doable in the end it is not really worth it, the problem not being the mining itself but the hauling of the ore.

Serious question: If you think that most Null sec alliances and Low sec alliances are basically people with similar mindsets.

Does that mean for example that CVA and Goonswarm are in your eyes one and the same?

Also OP: Did you even read the Malcanis article you linked?

If you did, you obviously only focused on the half dealing with high sec and completely ignored the half dealing with null sec.
Because the whole article actually revolved around why threads like this are stupid.
