cool, really didn't like the api idea, so that's not happening. Why is it so bad that as a new comer reading the forums I pick up on the fact that 90% at least of the gank whine posters could avoid hassle by reading the guides? Is it because I had the temerity of posting about it while being so new??

Was trying to be a bit funny, so many good guides and so easy to find yet so many who seem to not try to look at how the game works before calling for nerf or ccp to do something

Yeah, well, that's just some players for you, it's not really surprising if you've played practically any game for any amount of time.
Some players are lazy. Lazy people die. Yes it might be easy for them to search up the information, but they're probably not going to.

At least you figured it out. It's always nice when we don't have to remind people that EVE is a multiplayer sandbox.

Oh no, Ive said many of those things a brazillion gorillion times, and I was nodding riiight up until that last sentence, otherwise I would totally agree with you..

But alas, what you are outlining is just not doable in the eyes of highsec ganking victims because it all boils down to ::effort:: on their behalf, and we all know that when it comes to highsec, they cant be arsed to do anything for themselves, hence the "hurf blurf nerf nerf" threads.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Only if we can do the same for people who continualy make the same post in response to their own thread, tbh

As a supposed newbie, you'd have nothing on your API to fear. Undoubtedly if you join a corp you'll need to provide an API to help prove you're not an alt anyway. The only people needing to worry about API keys are players who have things to hide, like market trading, names of NPC alts, etc.

It's very hard to believe that a brand new player who doesn't even know what an API key is has had enough experience to make any call on ganking. If you're a brand new player, you won't even have flown anything worth ganking yet The fact is, you appear to be a code alt, of which we have seen many. If on the very remote chance you aren't a code alt, you'll pretty much be assumed to be one from now on anyway. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

look I get it ive played other mmos but not this one, ive dealt with ganking before just not here but its all variations on a theme. No other mmos have an api that ive heard of so meh on that point. All im hearing from you really is the usuall leet im so cool stuff I heard on every other forum, big deal. You go on your merry little cupcake way and frolick in your own leetness, im no way gonna just trust you about any kind of account info as you could be scamming me in some way for all I know. From what I see you could be trying something on me here.

Not an alt not a troll was actually trying to have a little laugh I apologise if it offends your greatness

It's a free for all! So...let me see. I may have a ditty I can share.

Borne

Outside it is as it was.
So many turns to take,
but the road runs straight.
Inside, no different,
reflecting time spent.
Fear hangs firmly,
pushed under vainly,
recalled seldom,
never summoned,
an atmosphere
refusing banishment.
Offspring spring forth,
embrace gleeful hope;
wings wilting instantly
in thickly heated gasps
stunned, descending
into welcoming
arrogant arms.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Yeah OP, believe it or not, newbies have a hard time focusing on the screen if there is nothing going on, I mean, you either get used to stare at a screensaver for hours or you have something else to entertain you.

I say, that screensaver is the cause of death of many newbies.

Let me assure you that that would be a very, very bad idea.

On another note, If you are a new player just starting in this game and looking for a more friendly discussion, I would suggest posting in the New Players Questions & Answers section of the forum. General Discussion tends to be a tad more rough on the edges posting wise. Also, there are additional (stricter) rules enforced there.

I try to figure out if I can triangulate a pos by moving around using scan and how close I could get to it with having to get a combat scanner

For those 3 days you know a lot of terms and you act like an eve-know-it-all. Very code like.

Never heard o that before

Suuuuure, you made it to the forums through EvE read articles about skilling,fitting and mining in FOUR days and you missed THAT?

You missed the api stuff, but for sure you know a lot about whining and tears for those four days. You sound alot like those codies after a time. In that four days, what ship do you fly? Can't be a barge...

You throw around leet (arrogant) behaviour but you are arrogant yourself. So what tank on a venture? What did you dscan help you? Did it occur to you, that you are quite uninteresting as a target, so you would have to be lucky to stumble over one of those maybe 100 codie-griefers with 300 alts, that even shoots ventures?

Even if you are not lying, you sound like a code alt.
