Besides, they almost certainly saw you coming a mile away because they've got an alt at least one system upstream.



but why all the effort? its kind of what ruins eve for me,

everyone is trigger happy in low sec or 0.0. i've never met anyone who would think twice about shooting me. some guy took a shot of me undocking in a thera system. i got away with it that time but still.

and i think the scoreboard has to blame fo that. theres some record people have for there kills right? i think its stupid. if it wernt for that i dont think everyone would be so trigger happy.

i wish players on eve would actually have a purpose for gate camping. rather then just killing random players for the sake of it.



Give me gate camps in low sec with fast people any day of the week over bubbles in nul, where people can fall a sleep, and when someone is caught up in a bubble they can easy wake up grab some coffee take a shower do the laundry and then target and pop you :) so be happy and endorce gatecamps in low sec, i escaped a couple with like 20% hull left over and it's a thrill, i would have died if it was bubblegum \o/

Are you for friggin real? You are clearly in the wrong game thinking like that. You want people to play how you like so you don't get killed. Grow up and move along...

Sorry...

As a 6 year old player there is still a lot of things I don't know. And if you check my KB you will see I have never had a kill in EVE. I suck at PVP and have quit trying to get better. But I still have enough fun doing other stuff to keep playing...

This is a reason, just because you don't agree with it, it is still a reason. Gate camping makes the game challenging. There are ways around it, part of the challenge is figuring out how.

this is a reason why many things ccp plans out to distruibute pve content and markets doesn't work.

Because I want to kill you, and you aren't being careful enough to stop me from doing it.

And I will add that if you do enough drugs time will actually slow down for you! This in turn will allow you to react much faster!

watching and calling out gate fires

being zoomed out far enough to focus on the 15k radius a target will decloak

sabos.... all the the sabos.
