Crime & Punishment

Doesnt anyone ever gank the ship that comes to collect the loot?

The gal that hauls for my small time ganking crew has been attacked on any number of occasions. So far, she has evaded destruction, although she had a very close call to to a persistent, and intelligent, capsuleer the other day. She is using a T1 Industrial.

Lol

Really? I don't get the OP's argument here. But then again, when I joined, everyone was eager to teach me the following mantra: "Never fly something you can't afford to lose".

In EVE, ships are temporary. Undocking, is pretty much your consensus that you allow it to eventually turn into beautiful fireworks.

Nice scam Mr Mayo. I wonder if I could sell ratting permits in null?

Well the attitude could use some improvement, but you probably could pull it off in a constellation or maybe even region. To go past that you would need a substantial force.

Yes 3 times they tried scamming me

I wasn't going to chime in here.. Because I really don't have a leg to stand on, being in the game for a total of a whole month, but after chewing on the arguments that were presented, and doing some cross-forum reading, and the like, I think I may have.. something to say

Let's use this as an example:

I live in a gated community. Said community is patrolled hourly street by street by a private security company. All of a sudden there is a murder, an armed robbery, etc.. .in the community. Does that mean that The community needs to be redesigned so that NOBODY other than residents can get in? No. It means that people need to still take precautions to prevent things from happening.

Now, let's look at another example, and a very common one in our history

The Mafia, the goons, the hit squads, all being controlled by a crimelord or Don, or Leader of some form or another. Now every cop in town knows that the crimelord is behind all these murders, pillages, etc.. But they don't do anything about it.. Why? Because guess what? (back then anyway, and maybe some today as well) Public Officials have been bribed, elected officials bought, and political corruption runs rampant. Yes, cops are going to respond, but as soon as those bribes are made, they stop their pursuit.

Put those two things together, throw some spaceships in there, and what do you have? Criminals entering a high-security area, and doing as they please, then bribing officials (tags) to look the other way. Sure the cops (CONCORD) may respond, but as long as they get out in time, and then pass those bribes along, oh well..

It's the same darn thing. I'll be the first to admit that I suck at PvP. (I think I'm getting better, but only time will tell) But I know enough to keep myself alive, and it's simple common sense. Don't drive the Rolls Royce in the Hood. And if you absolutely have to, make sure you are always aware of your surroundings. Yes I've lost ships. Yes it's frustrated me to no end. But do I go to the local politicians, or the governor, or mayor, and complain that things need to be changed or I'm leaving? No, because in the grand scheme of things, that certain body (in this case, the developers) have a lot more to worry about than a single person in a population of great numbers. I'll likely be told "There's the Door, don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya"

Instead, I treat every loss as a learning experience. What did I do wrong? What wasn't I paying attention to? Those two questions have gotten me far, and I bet they will you too.

my .02 ISK

I think we all love it.

I like making other people cry over exploded pixels, it says a lot more about them than about me :)
