Funny how you are not comprehanding. I have been playing since Feb.2010 and have 90m SP on my pvp toon. All homegrown. Loss over tens of billions of a lot of stuff.

This, this is not a cool loss. Not fun(I'm a gamer, I must have fun and enjoy gaming) I respect dieing. But not this.

Why did you have your whole net worth, tens of billions of ISK in a single ship? I agree that it isn't a cool loss and certainly not fun for you, but it was your mistake though no? In the four years you have been playing did you never realize that when you undock, it is always possible that your ship will explode, sometimes even through no fault of your own? There is a reason Red Frog and others place an ISK-limit on what they will haul and mitigating the damage of an unfortunate voyage is one of them.

Why don't you respect those that got you? Seems like you owe them a 'gf' for out-playing you.

Totally agree with you. The failure to stop the abuse of bumping is ridiculous, and is being utilized by the CODE folks to imprison freighters on a daily basis. This is just screaming out for a fix.

Well, I'm sorry it took you so long to figure out that you fundamentally dislike EVE Online. You risk losing any ship you fly at any time for any reason. Had you chosen to, you could have easily preempted the bumping and protected yourself.

FYI, 0 Freighters died in HS yesterday. So clearly not actually on a daily basis.

Again, you need to show blah blah blah rate of ganks compared to a useful measure like number of trips, then why it's a problem in a game where blah blah blah. If you point to Stella as your reasoning, you'll have to address CCP Soundwave's quote.

Oh, and if it were such a high rate of unavoidable ganks, why is it that Red Frog's rates, which include internal insurance premiums, have remained so low?

Also wanted to comment on this. You blew up someone's expensive ship and caused him to abandon his assets and leave the game. Obviously he is quite upset. Instead of just taking your win and moving on, you come here to rub it in, and try to make him angrier so you can get a further emotional reaction. This kind of "tear harvesting" has no place in the game, and is completely reprehensible. Grow up.

MMO's suck until you make friends, because most are basically a team sport

Pretty much the whole point of playing multiplayer games is to find like minded folks, and then stomp all over the opposition. Would you play Counterstrike/COD/MOH solo against a group of friends?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It is an EVE tradition from the depths of Beta that at least one person ask for the stuff of anyone threatening to leave since, of course, the person leaving has no further need for it.

It remains entertaining because most people who don't give their stuff away come falling back into the game (or never quit in the first place). In fact, "I'm quitting" posts are so common that there is a forum rule specifically written for them (Rule 33).

Anyway, there's nothing to suggest that Capt Starfox had anything to do with the PvP encounter that helped quitting-guy realize that he didn't like EVE (Fox has 0 freighter kills this month), so your attack on Fox is quite without merit for that reason and because the comment serves a quite clear "legitimate" (per your nutty definition) purpose in increasing the chance that Fox, in fact, gets stuff from quitting-guy.

All that's leaving aside the fact that quitting-guy never owned any assets to begin with.


Just as we have no duty to coddle those who would rather quit and go home when their queen is taken in chess tournaments than finish the game, we have no duty to coddle those who quit and go home when their pawn is destroyed in EVE. A simple "can I have your stuff" response to a quitting thread is a far cry from actual harassment. If you want examples of that, I have a quite nice pile of Evemails (and a couple nice forum threads, actually) from one of the posters you were cheering for (because he was the only one who agreed with you) a couple threads ago.

Funny how you only seem to call for restraint and decency from the people whose playstyles you dislike or whose views you disagree with.

I'd give you advice, but since you left, I'll just flat out say it: You suck at flying your ship.

I web my freighter through ******* low-sec. Not only have I made it through safely each time - several dozens of jumps in total - but I've also been aggroe'd in my web ship on the gate before, waited out the aggro timer while staying alive via savvy piloting, escaped, and gotten back to the next gate in time to warp my freighter once again before it decloaked.

In ******* lowsec.

With 9bil in the cargohold, it was the scariest damn experience I've had. But you want to know something? The entire time I was thinking I'd not make it back in time, and I'd lose 10.5bil in total (1.5bil for the freighter). And I was laughing. And smiling. Because when you undock your ship, you have a chance to lose it, and a good player accepts that.

edit - I will defend my decision to put 9bil in the cargohold by stating I am stupidly ISK rich and that is the equivalent of 500mil for most of you Lol

Thankfully in EvE, you don't need friends. You can just get more alts.

Also, there are multiplayer games that can be played 1v1 so the second part of your post is entirely wrong.

Yes there are, but that's not the point I was making, most multi player games that I know of reward playing as a group over playing solo. It's a design feature.

Off topic, I suggest that you apologise to Remiel Pollard, the cancer remark was well out of order. I don't care what he said, he did not deserve that, nobody does.

I find it strange that people try to make a case for playing without friends.

It really is more FUN to play in a group, design of the game aside.

Any progress on the two freighters you were supposed to kill in my name for your "gank it forward program?" I haven't gotten any Eve mails and am eagerly awaiting. If you need tips on how to gank them, I'm available for consulting, for a fee of course.

Not trolling...just following up on the earlier post promising to blow freighters up because of my posts here. And the failure to respond to my post soon afterward about why such threat was unconvincing and unlikely to be acted on. An apology would be appropriate of course, not that I harbor much hope....

How is attempting to make someone feel bad for alleged in-game failures any different from the "Can I have your stuff" post you were railing against earlier this page?

EDIT: So that we're clear. I find nothing wrong with calling out in-game failure. You are the one who laid out standards that you were unable to hold to for a full forum page. (Which goes nicely with your pattern of only calling for civility from those who disagree with you.)
