Mental disorder?

Not a whine threat or anything, but I was wondering, what the bloody F is wrong with some people?

1 week ago:
Dude uses 125M ISK fitted Brutix to gank a 81M ISK worth Indy boat.

Today:
Dude uses a fully T2 fitted Tornado to gank a Badger worth 8M ISK.


I have been hearing stuff like this a lot lately and I was just wondering, what is wrong in the heads of these people?
I mean, the Tornado's guns alone are more expensive then the kill.

Once again, not a whine thread (I wasn't the target anyway), just wondering.

He probably had the safety set to red and forgot he was back in highsec after a roam in lowsec. It happens very easily.

Other than what Dominique said:

Brutix: Maybe he doesn't have decent drone skills, so it outperforms the vexor for isk:dps.
Tornado: Scanning is effort or he read something wrong on the cargo scan and thought it was valuable. Or got cargo scans mixed up.

It could also just be lol popping because 100m is not really a lot after a while.

The kill is not on EVE-Kill yet, but that badger was actually empty, which made us lol quite hard.

Ok so I found three badgers that were ganked by a nado today. All three had poor to anti-tank setups and all three had 400-470 million in the hold.

Yeah, based on what he said it's not up yet.. He could manually submit it though.

When I get back to hisec, I first see the local and be like 'dem many neuts!' Then I see ship land next to me and little excited and aroused, I lock it up, only to notice that there are gate guns around. Somehow after being long time in null, it just feels so... Different to be back on high. Too many neuts.. Need to go back.

There we go
lol popping, revenge, mis read (he could've been scanning a couple of ships and got the scans mixed up)m, misfire. Can't think of anything else, but lolpopping seems pretty high chance.

Yeah, me thinks so.
I tend to think it's the high value of PLEX, allowing people with RL money to spend on the game to get kills or something, I dunno.

Hah. I'd hate doing that, even if I had a job (unless it was like.. a really good job).

T2 tornados go for 100-120 mil, I believe. A single character ratting can pull in at least 60m/hour. So if you have 6 characters ratting, that's 1 tornado every 20 minutes, just over the criminal timer. 8 characters? 1 every 15 minutes, the same as the criminal timer, not including the time waiting for a target.

if you've got 6-8 character alt ratting at the same time you
a/ are a boter and deserve everything that happens; or
b/ have a warped sense of fun ...

Just my .02 isk (damn I'm poor again, can I have then back please I don't want to rat)

Seen a guy doing this repeatedly in a system I frequented. In the end he always, always comes out with a profit. He just ganks any hauler that comes through the gate.

Have been thinking of doing it myself, easy peachy a Plex/day with what people cram in an untanked triple cargo expanded hauler.

A little searching before posting will reveal plenty of reasons for shooting ships that are worth less than the gank ship.

What does his mental state have to do with how he chooses to play a video game, OP? Are you a psychologist?
