You're wrong and you know it, you've now stooped to the level of a toddler throwing a tantrum.

When you can demonstrate that you have an understanding of how the Eve economy works, people may take you seriously. At the moment your posting is the equivalent of a monkey throwing faeces at the wall.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You lost the argument and you know. Inventing more and more nonsense to cover up for the previous nonsense makes it more nonsensical, not less, you know that, right?

i could never be as nonsensical as you, troll. Roll
Except that Tippia isn't trolling and now you've resorted to name calling as you know you were wrong.

Just stop posting.

i've resorted to name calling because it was earned. when someone chooses not to see sense under their nose trolling is the most likely cause.

We all know why you resorted to it. It's because you were wrong and have lost the argument.

The rest of your posting is now icing on that cake.

except they don't.

since you still haven't proven how ganking an empty freighter is profitable, as i asked you like... 2? pages ago.

Prime example.

If you had any faith in your argument, you would argue the point. You would argue and show proof your scenario is profitable.

The numbers only numbers you've provided demonstrate that the scenario you describe is unprofitable, and ganking is good for the economy. You understand this, right?

You lost the argument. You know this. That's why you have resorted to name-calling, evasions, and all the off-topic nonsense you've piled on for the last couple of pages. Just accept it and move on, preferably by presenting some kind of actual (supported) argument.

You know what's pathetic about all the threads like these? Just a very slight change in wording would fix the whole thing.

If you told the whiners that Concord would rep them if they were still alive when the big C showed up, everyone would be all over it. Just keep your ship alive until C gets there.

The carequeens would be all "Suck it, gankmaggots! Don't f*** with the Jesus! I have goddamn epic tank on my . . . I don't even know what the mining ships are called. Doesn't matter because Concord is REPPING my ass!"

Of course, the situation isn't really very different now, right? Just survive until Concord. That's it! You have one job!


Well if CONCORD repped instead it would give the target a chance to form a response (or for other players to come to the rescue, perhaps for a price, etc.). Conflict in HS that results in actual fights instead of ganks would be more fun IMO, just where the defender has the advantage of CONCORD on their side to make up for the fact that the aggressor gets ti choose the conditions for engagement.

Obviously, CONCORD response times would need to be better than they are now in order for more ships to be saved, and other things tweaked etc. but I wouldn't dismiss it as being the same thing or necessarily worse than what the mechanics are now.

Demonfist you might want to put that shovel down since you seem to have bored a hole right through the entire planet and you still havent managed to make a coherent arguement that wasnt immediatly shot down in flames.

Because he paid a price for that privilege. I was thinking of some 500 million ISK per shot. Maybe less, maybe more. That could be debated.

But, to your question: Why should someone lose his ship just because he's been outnumbered? Specially since he can be outnumbered by someone whose only effort was to buy ISBoxer and pay several accounts to CCP, which is very literally a way to pay for win.


Cost cannot be used to justify the introduction of unbalanced mechanics.

He isn't just outnumbered. He's outnumbered by a fleet specifically designed to kill him. Why should he get an i-win-button just for spending extra ISK?

(Now answer, why should outnumbering be a failproof tactic?)


It shouldn't be, it's not, and nobody said it should be or was. Straw men are bad, mmmkay?

Complete and unavoidable waste of your effort caused by the action of the adversary should be a possibility both for agressors and defenders. So far, only the defenders take that chance. As I said above, that's OK with CCP and they will not do anything to change the game, so you all can rest assured that I am just wasting my time and effort.


And it is. If you web your freighter into warp, all the planning that went into setting up a gank for you is wasted. Just because you don't see the effort that's wasted doesn't mean it didn't occur.

in addendum, if you were found to be part of an organized group of people harassing others, you'd get slapped with RICO and they'd take down everyone. atleast in the US. also in real life you can't recreate yourself with new dna for a clean identity, forensics and no statute of limitations would catch up to you eventually. this all assumes the cops don't just shoot you in the face, which lately wouldn't be a safe bet.


Racketeering, like many other things illegal in most RL jurisdictions, is legal in New Eden. Laws in different jurisdictions are different. CONCORD is *like* a police force, it is not *identical* to one.

you didn't argue the point at all, you threw a tantrum like a toddler who's had his favourite dummy taken away from him.

what needed to be said was the answer to the myriad of questions put before you. none of them were.

No, you didn't. You made a bunch of baseless claims that were immediately shot down. With nothing left to offer, you dived headlong into the fallacy ditch and started splashing about feebly.

Indeed: the scenario you describe is unprofitable, and ganking is good for the economy. You have demonstrated this with ample clarity.

Yes we read your argument and it was wrong. But instead of backing it up and presenting more facts, you've thrown a tantrum and started name calling.

Now you refuse to show faith in what you said, because let's face it, it was wrong.
