Oh yeah, that was me alright, totally AFK ordering pizza on the phone, not a single peep from you in Local or convo (yes, I keep logs), getting ganked while offlining my POS *BEFORE* the war took place.

And I don't even have tears in my eyes, I've long since accepted that my playstyle will lead to ISK loss on a massive scale.

Keep stroking your epeen mate !



Take that as a lesson, NEver ever stay AFK in space while in a war.

Shoudl be pretty obvious in fact.


Take wars as opportunities to learn, and exapnd yourself in this game.


PVP doe snto need to be stressful. IF you use a ship that cost udner 1 mil, how can it be stressful? Just undocking with the mind. .I LOST this ship.. and If they do not manage to kil it, I wil self destruct it anyway!

This way there is nothign th get anxious about.

Yes, your point being ?

I'd rather close a corp where I'm alone and restart it elsewhere than be bullied.

Yes, I'm a wuss. Never said otherwise.


If the racketeering Corp is serious closing the corp wouldn't protect you, you might still get ganked if the enemy made a note of your individual corp mates, you shouldn't have folded the corp, not after 8 years.

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

MORE.DPS ? they still trying to push that scam? No, they probably would have taken your money and run. Surprised they still aren't using the "WE ARE GOON PETS< PAY US OR GOONS WILL PWN YOU " thing. Should have asked around, you probably would have had people join up to have some fun. And I think there was at-least one Merc corp I know they hired and then screwed, so they might have come as well. Never fold a corp on a war dec, just start alts if you can't fight yourself, and let them keep making the payments. Or learn to fight, Some mercs are pretty cheap, (even some free ones I think, or loot rights) .

Hi-Sec PVE corps are against CCP rules. Either you hide in stations forever or change to a NPC corp.

Well, since we're casual players, the price asked was more than we could earn per week, so we killed the corp and went back to NPC corps.

My question is this : is this kind of "griefing" legit ?

I know that EvE is a harsh place, but I thought that paying my subscription allowed me to play the game ...


Restart your player corp.
Use the 2 blank toon slots and train derp ceos (lev 2 for corp is all you need trained)

Make a spare corp on each derp toon.

Let them dec you.
Jump to your new corp.
Repeat as needed.

If you can get 5 people in your corp to do this - you'll have 10 derp corps to jump into at anytime.
As the War decs don't come active for 24 hours after they are started - You should be able to stay safe almost all of the time.

They will learn not to waste isk deccing you after a few corp jumps.

Sounds like a good use of a game mechanic. That in and of its self is PvP without any ships being destroyed. Oh the PvPer tears lol.

Except that if you keep cycling systematically and non stop to increase the cost of wars and avoid a game mechanic you can be petitioned (or if you just close the corp and repopen it) . But if you just do it once or twice nothing will happen.

Did You know, mining without a permit won't be a problem once You get the new marauders. Big smile

Just bastion up and brick tank it. Lol

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

I never heard this rule, but if someone is costing you too much money and you want to fight the good fight i suggest to set destination to PF instead of wasting the time of the GMs with empire tears.

May I suggest you sell your character and start fresh?
Or buy a reasonable char.. Get into a WH corp or something...

You can still mine in a WH if you like it, but you will learn a LOT doing it there. It's a lot more fun.
