So pod kills, in secure space, are just bullying, are not they?

As said above, we've been conditioned by Kinder Suprise Eggs that they hold presents inside, and a Golden Egg must have some special prize inside no? So POD IT!

That said, generally you can warp out fast enough to avoid being podded, reason you make sure you fly at least in a shuttle.

Every election needs a Screaming Lord Sutch

His election campaign should be "interesting" to say the least. Cue tinfoil about conspiracies, transgender persecution/ discrimination etc.

This.

This is a problem we are going to be running into a lot for a while. The Eve population let a bunch of angry carebears get away with calling one case of tear extraction "bullying", so now they are going to start crying "bullying" in every case where they can't see the benefit through their carebear-eyes in hopes that CCP will again step in to hold their hand and protect them.

I remember seeing people like the OP back in 2007 all the way up to present day, Someone having a silly opinion about the game is nothing new.
So dont try to turn this into a "EVE is getting soft" kinda thing.

First of all, the list of ways that CCP has made Eve softer since 2007 is pretty damn long. It's undeniable that Eve is getting soft (but I'm sure you will keep denying it anyway).

But that wasn't the point I was making. My point was that as soon as you allow someone to get away with using the "bullying" tag for interactions in or about a video game, other people see that and follow by example. Because carebears saw that using the "bullying" tag, even when completely unjustified, gets results, "bullying" could become their new go-to whine on the forums.

In quake you frag people, in eve you pod people. I don't think it means more than that. The only difference is the respawn cost.

Don't be surprised if this a false flag post to rustle up the villians.

Man, I see you have some very strong opinions on the topic.
I could swear I can actually feel the resentment when you are saying "carebears".

For that reason I am not going to continue this discussion, lest I trigger an emotional reaction from you.

I wouldnt want you to feel like I am bullying you. Blink

Or perhaps I'd say bullying and bragging, but I am not sure if they are different things. Let's stick with bullying. Ok, it is done to everyone, so it is not serious bullying; it is not the usual situation where a gang concentrates all the mocking and pressure in one or two newbies selected at random from the new flock. It is probably closer to peer-presure in scientific-technical communities, or even to a fraternity initiation ritual. Not that I like the guys at Skulls and Bones.

Usual arguments for this generic kill are:

- "I can". Everything told, here.
- "silent them". Er??? Pirate-wise, it increases the visibility of the system in the map. By killing the pod, you get it silenced in local... and a big danger mark in the global map, telling everyone to carry more force, or more caution, where crossing your system.
-"raise the price of implants". Ok if you manufacture them, but otherwise?
-"as real life". It is fascinating how many people in EVE seem to play from favelas in Brasil suburbia. Wait, I have been there and I have never been killed inside of the pod.
-"trophy" That could have sense, because in the killboards a hi-sec pod killing is, arguably, scored same that a battle-situation low sec.


What I am a bit surprised is that the times this topic emerges in the forum, people does not like to look at the ritual/etnological side of the issue. I'd like to heard about it. Does it build community? Does it correct some problem in the game, by hardeninng the players?


In short, no. There are legitimate reasons to kill pods in any area of space.

And EVE is a PvP spaceships game,. Shooting other at other players needs no excuse in any case.
