It's not prejudice. Some of my best mates are forum alts. :p

To the OP, I suggest you not biomass anything, because by leaving the chars and assets intact adds a few more bytes of storage strain for CCP.

Eventually, maybe, if we are lucky, some accountant will be able to win the boardroom battle against the people that think it is great fun building a game skewed wildly towards the sociopaths, and new CCP leaders will get the concept that rejoicing at the killing of "carebears" is not a smart business plan.

It seems to be a highly successful and smart business plan so far, so why on earth would they change it?
Also, how is the game skewed towards sociopaths?

So if you shot spaceships in a game about shooting spaceships then you are a sociopath?

If CCP will every listen to people like you it will be the end of EVE.

The guy from "Pirannha Corp." is calling people sociopaths. Lol, okay. Blowing up internet spaceships is no more sociopathic than a good round of paintball. Or a nice snowball battle. Now, if some of you guys actually showed up at my RL front door with some 1400 mm arty and took my house and half the block out, well, maybe we got some sociopaths here. Perhaps Dinsdale, you would find SimCity more enjoyable?

No, it really isn't; it never was; it never will be. It's that simple, actually.

Good thing that reality does not match your fantasies, in this as in the above.

Hrm. EVE is a sandbox. Methinks that players should have more control over the base hulls, in terms of statistics, e.g. armor, resists, etc.. It would be highly amusing to see custom industrials that give up a lot of cargo for vastly improved tanking ability, say the industrial equivalent of the Damnation?

tl;dr - An "arms race" between player designed gank ships and tanky industrials would be amusing.

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

Eve will never be 100% safe anywhere except docked in a station FACT.
Anyone that wants 0 risk in playing a game is playing the wrong game FACT.
Thats what makes EVE so unique and apealing to most, you can do what you want, when you want. There are also consequences for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Rather then belittle and trash talk the new players making a mistake into quitting, put 1/2 that effort into educating them where they went wrong and teach them how to prevent it from happening again. We as a playerbase need to help foster the new players attitudes and make them understand what this game is about and how it works. Anyone who thinks they have mastered every aspect of this game is just wrong. There is no manual per se. to EVE, it is a constant learning experience.

If we want to erode the playerbase further, continue to be argumentative infighting a$$hats. A little constructive help can go a long way in making the eve community actually grow.

I had to go check my ganker alt's KB to make sure I wasn't the one who caused you to rage quit.

2 MSEs is not enough to stop a nado from alpha'ing you. You need an invul + LSE or so. Also, we like to use RF EMP, so patch that EM hole!

Hey, if if makes you feel better, I undocked a 750m Ishtar from K3JR-J yesterday and watch my capsule eject as I aligned for warp. Didn't think much of the nado sitting on undock, and I should know better being a ganker myself.

PSA: HACs do not have that much EHP w/o buffer! Oops

May be it will let James feel better, that he's not the man who lost the most ISK there.

I don't get it, which expensive items ppl haul in these paper made industrials...
You can never fit enough tank to avoid a gank with these ships.
Those items I would always let become hauled via a transport contract to Red Frog...

Loot fairy got paid off on that one, had to have been. Lol

Edit: Also lol at the cloaking device.

My alt accidentally bought a badger in low sec, I decided to try and sneak it out. In the end I decided to let them have it, ejected upon undock and warped away.

Wow. The loot fairy really likes Steve Keebler. A Stratios and 4 Macks in one afternoon. Nice. But wasn't Tippia just saying that surviving on gate scraps was less profitable a couple days ago and that these kinds of ganks were on the decline? haha

Somebody better tell Steve.

fully protected?

As long as you can be target-locked you are never fully protected.
Use mwd+cloak trick. You can be as paper-thin as you want.

Highsec is never safe.

"I was driving my top safety rating sedan on the highway, then I got shot by a gang running away from cops and spraying bullets all over the place, highway is supposed to be safe!"

How many ppl die on the roads per year?

Cannot say you were a roadkill, but you actually were the TARGET.
