Because he's looking for a reaction from you, that's why he said what he said.

Look at this here thread, you reacted. He won.

To pop a pod under sentry fire,
after you killed the shuttle or noobship ...

... it needs my double-, or tripple-volley-thrasher.

They surpass a fully gank fitted t2 280mm alpha thrasher.

Cheaper, more versatile, more oomph.

It's more likely that his fitting wasn't up for the job.

They're mad because you reap rewards being afk while they stay all day long at their keyboard mostly doing nothing at all but waiting for a target. AP in >1M fits is perfectly fine. No one in his right mind wouldn't take the small risk of losing a couple of minutes, an empty shuttle and an empty pod just to do a 30 jumps trip like Home - Jita to buy the new ship he wants. Travelling isn't fun, loading screens are god awfully long for no reason, so any way to circumvent such a pointless time sink is fine. Since it makes haters mad you should keep doing it. Cool

Actually, everything that's below 2.1k EHP is reliably gankable by my tripple volley thrasher,
so you might rethink the >1Mill way of thinking about this.

Autopilot has one and only one feasible use remaining:
1) set destination to station you want to dock in
2) warp to your true instadock BM
3) upon warp initiate autopilot
4) stop paying attention


That said, I believe said functionality should be nerfed and an additional 1 minute docking delay, when using said feature, should be put in place. /sarcasm

Because concord is ineffective. Gankers claim to do PVP but just take easy targets like shuttles and bait you for a reaction. They like tears and boasting.

LazyDeer, your question can be answered with the same answer as many of the questions in this game. You ask why? Its because of the people who play this game. This game is an enormous penis measuring community. Who's the meanest pilot in all the land.

This game is full of nerds, dorks, dweebs, geeks, sociopaths, aspirant serial killers, basement dwellers, 40 year old virgins, losers, stoners and a-hole-ly-o's

Then you have people like you and I, who don't suffer from their ignorance and we ask why. That is why.

Go get a Raven, get all your shield tanking skills to level 5 and then deadspace fit it. You can slowboat all day long through hisec because it would take quite a massive group of people to kill you before Concord handed them their behinds. Get it cap stable, throw on all the shield tanking gear and slowboat to your little heart's desire! :D

Ignorance of the kind of game you're playing is your own fault.

Please do this, you'll make lots of people very happy, if you're really lucky you'll get an ALOD feature on TMC out of it.

You should be sitting at your keyboard playing Eve.

The days of "Ha! Ha! I'm safe because I'm in hi-sec!" are completely over.

I don't know what you are confused about. Eve is a pure pvp game, it always has been.

Maybe your confusion lies with the fact that you think it isn't.

It's called "bot aspirancy".


you mean the copy & pasted mass mail sent to anyone shot down ...


copy & paste to multiple recipients is bot aspirancy

each mail should be individually written, and sent to a single individual pilot

lol @ code failing it's own code.

Don't confuse opportunity with hate. Autopiloting ships are just easier targets and players like easy targets.

Where in any of that was hate against autopiloting expressed? It rather sounds like you're projecting a fair amount here.

No-one hates others for autopiloting. At most, some get annoyed when people who get killed while autopiloting come to the forum and complain and start demanding that their non-playing be made more safe.


You mean like afk cloakling? That type of non-playing??

Always amazing how people can and will justify their hypocricy when it benefits them.

Get use to it OP you will see it alot.

I do not see anyone complaining about AFK cloaking, it's part of the game and a good reason to fleet up so you can fight if need be. When AFK cloakers camp the system I play in, I just get a cheap ship I don't mind losing and keep going, 99.9% of the time the afk cloaker is a bluff that couldn't even cyno-drop you if they wanted to.

Thank you for coming here and generalizing the entire EVE community over one incident / douche.

Normally I would not care that you autopilot (it is a great feature), but now I will probably pod you for the hell of it, or just pay someone to do it.

Don't write a post about it. Know I do it because this is EVE and it is expected to conduct oneself in such a manner.

Definitely not hate. You see, sociopaths are totally devoid of human emotion. The act of blowing you up triggers the adrenaline and endorphins they equate as happiness.

In fact, you should feel sorry for them. You have a vast array of emotions they could only dream of. Except they wouldn't because they don't know, nor care that they are totally devoid of emotions.

Or perhaps, the individual who blew you up was a pvp pro trying to compete with the station huggers for E-rep.
