I guess Veers did not join EVE to make friends. That is for damn sure.


Good catch, Kane...though I do actually make fast friends with the no PvP in highsec crowd. Absolutely love your hair by the way. You seem to be on the forums more than usual, can we expect to see your in game activity pick up? Your KB is getting pretty sparse as of late.

Back on topic folks, enough Grrr Veers garbage for now....what can we do to get more people involved in piracy? I still like the honest pirates guild idea.


Honestly Veers if you really care about supporting piracy then do it and us a favour and stop talking. The reason I say this is pretty simple, the level of dislike for you has got so high its adversely affecting those things you proclaim to care about simply by degree of association.

So stop talking about it, stop saying you support it, in fact stop saying anything about it in any way, shape or form and you will be supporting it far more than you possibly could any other way.



Uhhmmmm....no?

The pirates are still about.

I think that piracy has changed though as stated before by some.

Ransoms:
You don’t get paid ransoms anymore.. I have not been paid one in 1 Year of me plying EVE.

I don’t ransom anymore purely because I tried for 6 months to get someone to pay one and they all refused. The fact that people don’t really care about isk is one thing.

New player can buy plex and boom has 1.6 bil in wallet. Catch him in a belt and he will not care as you wasting his time by holding him down. They ether say shoot me or if you try and talk to them they start self-destruct on pod.

With being able to buy a plex and sell it for 800mil now has meant the value of everyhing in EVE is the value of how much rl isk you want to pay for plex.

Making money with plex is nothing where making money through doing things in EVE is hard work. People just want the easy ruite and thus choose plex. More money for CCP but the value of ISk as in actually feel like its real money you spending in game is gone.

So if you speak to vets they will say how hard it was for them to make isk and then to lose the battleship they saved for was and would have paid a bit of isk to rather let it go than lose it.

Thats gone. 1 plex = 2x BS (Fitted) more please.

also

Pirates who asked for ransoms and still killed pilots made it so new pirates like myself wanting to ransom the same person will not pay.
So the old pirates that had the ransom fun killed it by being not honourable about the ransoms they asked.

We are about though and you will find Pirate Corporations still in EVE. We just have had to change our tactic a bit.

You do realize that piracy does not mean PvP right? Pirates aren't roaming around looking for good fights. They steal, gank, awox, and invade mission pockets.

I guess I should expect that you don't know. With you being anslo and all.
