EVE General Discussion

Thanks OP I needed a laugh,

The game has been around 10+ years, that's 10+ years of ganking scamming and general villainy. so why exactly do you think that's suddenly going to kill off the game.

This game isn't for everyone, you either learn to deal with it's peculiarities or you quit playing and find some game that will be more pleasing to you.

Personally what I like most about this game is that the lack of mechanics that force trust mean that the trust that does exist is real not fabricated.

Think about this, where I live I can fly around and know with near certitude who will be trying to kill me (awoxers not withstanding) I can make a fairly firm assumption that someone who's blue isn't going to do anything to my stuff, For anyone who's not blue I can make a fairly firm assumption that they are going to be trying to do something to my stuff, so if I think I have the upper hand I have no compulsion with shooting first or running as may be required. If they do get the better of me well that just the way the RNG rolls. If someone blue messes with me I know that if nothing else they've made themselves pariah to the most powerful force in null sec whether that bothers them or not.

The point is that EVE is a game where your choices have consequences in the game , you made a poor choice and anyone who's played this game for any length of time could have told you would not turn out well for you. You suffered the expected consequences for that choice. Then to further the reward to the person who blew your stuff up, you came here and cried about it which is like icing on their cake.

You are left with three choices, leave and find another activity more suited to your tender sensibilities, take this as a lesson and learn from it and learn how to figure out who you can and can't trust and to make more beneficial choices in the future, or you can continue the way you are going, If you choose the last option be certain to come here and make regular reports about all the awful things that happen to you and why the problem is with the game rather than yourself.

hes basically saying he wants gankers removed from the game as the police would do irl to a repeat offender.

your right its just a game. he cannot seem to diffrentiate between fantasy and reality and has some trouble with metaphors... this is not intended as a personal attack but rather an observation.

I now sincerely think Veers is a troll, and one of the best trolls these forums have seen in a long time.

+1 Veers, for amazing trolling.

hahaha

This just gets funnier.

And to think, all of it can be so easily avoided, by choosing not be a prey animal. Of course accepting the consequences of their choice is too much to ask.

But then they are pathological narcissists after all, pretty sure most carebears are.

"trolling."

The police investigate, they catch the mugger, they make him pay restitution (and damages!), and then put him away for a nice jail sentence, especially if he is a repeat offender.

In Eve - they show up, blow up the attacker, give him a 15 minute timeout, don't make him pay any restitution, and make no attempt to recover the stolen property.

Fail, you can compare things to real life as long as you keep them separate from the game, this is still your problem Tears, you can't keep reality and fantasy separate. The rules are different.

Concord were only ever intended as a limited deterrence. ie, if you commit a hostile act in high sec, you get blown up, unless you bribe concord (wardec) for the kills/fights. Your problem is, you don't see EVE for what it is meant to be, a player-driven PVP environment, and it is up to players to deal with their own restitution. You want your stuff back? Go get it yourself. That's what EVE is. If you don't like that, then EVE is not for you. That's the bottom line Veers. Concord = limited deterrence and punishment. In this player-driven game, if you're expecting anything more from Concord, or asking for it, then you're in the wrong game, because ultimately, CCP want Concord gone. How will you ever survive without them if you're relying on them to 'protect' you? You're entirely capable of making friends and protecting yourself. If you can't do that, it's your problem and again, you're playing the wrong game.

FTFY so that it's a more accurate representation of most criminal justice systems.

The difference is that the stolen property actually belongs to CCP, as stated in the EULA.

You as a player own diddly squat within the Eve universe*, it is merely on loan from CCP, as long as it remains in the game CCP don't care how it changes hands.

Once again you're displaying that you can't differentiate between the real world and a fantasy one.

Really ? where does all this happen ? all I see is two rats appear and zoom in a 2000m/s and when they get there they struggle to kill a mining drone let alone destroy my ship.
