Out of Pod Experience

Well you can do most of that stuff as a nulbear, plenty to do out there. Keep a jump clone and a fleet in high, can still do other stuff there. Logistics between nul and highsec trade hubs can be a problem, but it happens. But if you just like mining and buying ships shouldn't be any problem. You wont have the 0 tax rate, but what you put in you get out, rather than just handing it over as extortion. It's a better rout than quitting over the usual highsec drama which can really suck.

Well you convinced me to go out to Null. So I guess something came out of this. /dry tears

^^ sure, but just remember.. in EVE your tear ducts only contain blood. Every time you cry, the waters churn and sharks get a whiff.

Slap yourself if you have to a couple of times. The time for tears is over.

I'm not sure why you're saying this since it's not my number.

You now have kill rights on one or more players, go do something about it.

That's the spirit.


You have no idea how many times I've instructed people to do this ingame. Bahaha.


Lazymode is just to bump people on gates and act all innocent (redressing the Karmic balance). Helps if they are blue.

@Webvan. Wardecs, while they can be indiscriminate, are much more often targeted. And in fact, CCP is perfectly fine with wardecs continuing for weeks, even months at a time. Whether it's consensual to the defender or not.

That pretty well puts the lie to the "targeting someone because they pissed you off is griefing" statement.

I can and have targeted specific players for their statements on the forums or in local. I've done it extensively, *Snip* Please refrain from discussing warnings and bans. ISD Ezwal.

But suggesting that going after somebody because they are lipping off is griefing is just silly.

Have you thought about learning about EVE instead?

I have made 6bil in 3 months from mining. I haven't been ganked once, despite gankers coming into my system daily.

So why can I do it if you cannot? It's because I've learned about EVE.

This is how I play Eve.

1. I skill up
2. I mine to afford the crap I skilled up for
3. I buy said crap from the market
4. I run security missions with new crap and eventually lose it all because I bit off more than I can chew

Repeat cycle, That is what I drop 45 bucks a month for, and I am sure there are more players that do the same.

The problem with "We are the saviors of high sec" nonsense. Is its just a simple lie. Its a group of people taking pleasure in kicking over someone else's sand castle, and I wasn't AFK mining, I was simply mining.... Hell most of the time I invite other people that show up into the belts I mine, invite them to my fleet, and chat. I really like the EVE community for the most part. I like helping other players as much as I can.

Eve isn't a 100% PVP game, its a space sim. It allows people to play the game in a way that should be fun, and allow the most amount of flexibility for people to play the way they want to play. That's why there is 3 different levels to space. High, Low, and Null. There are places in EVE where wholesale destruction is encouraged and can be highly rewarding. One style of player should not have to suffer, for the entertainment of another type. That isn't fair.

Going into a system, and doing a shakedown, putting people on secret kill lists because they don't want to pay your ransom is griefing. Its as simple as that. It would be cool, if the players that participate in that play style would just man up and say it. Rather then hiding behind BS like "We're making Eve a better game".

There are several problems with your formula, here.
When you play the game that way, you're making ISK just to keep making ISK. It causes you to play the game the same way you probably work and pay bills, IRL... you're taking a break from living paycheck to paycheck, to play a game where you live paycheck to paycheck.
No wonder you're considering quitting. That sounds like a terrible escape.

If you consider anything that happens in this game to be "suffering", then you have led a very easy life that you're not very good at temporarily escaping from. It's a game. It's a game about destroying other people's spaceships. And you seem to think that when it's YOUR spaceship getting blown up that's somehow unfair.
I'd post some of my lossmails for you, but that's against the forum rules. Look me up on Battleclinic, find my most expensive loss, and tell me if anything you've had shot out from under you comes anywhere near that. And then consider the fact that I do that for fun, in EVE.

The fact is that CODE *does* add something to EVE and make the game more exciting. James315 is generating content with his fake cult. I completely approve of all the things they do, and their reasons/motivations behind it. If you'd ever read minerbumping.com, you'd see where their heads are truly at. Fascinating people, those CODE guys are.

You have this false idea that PvP'ers and gankers are the badguys. Ask anyone who posts on these forums what they think of pirates like me, and they'll tell you most of us are actually really cool people. My alliance clashes with another lowsec pirate corp all the time. We fight eachother no matter what the odds are, because we have fun, win or lose.
The odd times when I can't find a better target and leap onto some noob that can barely fly the battlecruiser he's in, often times I'll tell him what he did wrong, suggest a batter fit, and send him on his way in the hopes that he'll come back and put up a better fight, next time.
HOWEVER.... there are times when I shoot someone, and end up with an inbox full of uncalled-for rage. I've never had a fellow pirate threaten to find me, IRL, beat me down in my own living room and **** my girlfriend.... but I've had mission runners and miners do that, more than once. It's not even an isolated incident.... it's the norm. Shoot carebear -> receive threats of real-life violence. I'd report the people who do it, but it's just so damn comical, all I can do is laugh.

I have more to say, but I'm going to stop there. This post is already too long, as it is.
