EVE General Discussion

Sorry, but you're just plain factually wrong. Response times have been the same since the massive CONCORD buff in Empyrean Age where they were significantly reduced, not increased.

In the same patch CONCORD ships were made more powerful, not less powerful and got their EWAR capabilities when they previously had none. Not only do CONCORD ships arrive faster, but as soon as they arrive the ganker immediately loses the ability to even have a locked target.

The reason that CONCORD caused lag prior to that was that they spawned in large numbers. Because they were made so much more effective there isn't any point having as many spawn.

You could not be more incorrect about this subject.

Are there things some things that have benefited gankers in some way? Sure, there's a couple, but they sure as hell are not changes to CONCORD.

The first thing I recommend is to get a new keyboard. The shift and return keys seem to be broken on yours.

May be my mistake and I over estimate people but I don't think you give yourself enough credit, OP.

Doing the same thing for 10 hr marathon runs, day in and day out for years isn't going to hold the appeal unless you are a gold fish. High Sec ganking for all the fluff hasn't changed that much in the last 5 years. I think that's the problem with all of EVE. While there are new ways to run around the barn we are still running around a barn. I'm not here to rage or hate on anyone, maybe its all we were ever meant to do but people are pretty sharp minded creatures, EVE players in general being an aggressive version of them. We burn out easy when we aren't challenged and synthetic input is a diversion. EVE simply doesn't challenge you any more and you don't seem to see it at a *****'n'giggles level so it isn't entertaining you either.

Unfortunately I can't appreciate EVE at the *****'n'giggles level either. It`s my loss really but after this many years in New Eden it might be all that`s left. At least until someone pulls a rabbit out of the hat and imagines new spaces beyond the barn. That`s a Dev challenge though, not a player challenge and I`ll be in GTA 5 online until they figure it out.

Everybody gets their profession shafted occasionally, sometimes by CCP, sometimes by other players.

The gankers have adapted to change by becoming very organised and dedicated, they've developed doctrines and tactics to counter it. Responses to the gankers adaption varies a bit, bears have adapted, they don't afk, they tank their ships etc. Carebears, on the other hand, refuse to adapt at all and simply demand more nerfs to PvP.

Big difference; one group is self entitled, the other groups are doing it right.

The poster you quote writes nonsense.
And it feels like he is talking to himself anyway.

All the usual suspects.

I once attended university with a guy who never went to class. He sat under a tree and picked his toenails. When asked why he spent his time so, he'd wind out a rather extensive justification which amounted to the equivalent of what cows do when they're in the field, not eating or ruminating, or lowing to one another. For those who might find that vague, perhaps the image of what horses leave behind on the parade route might help.

Gank that.
