Crime & Punishment

I lost also an Orca to this guys in Uedama. I was not afk and was bumped several times in a freighter days before too. They do this constantly and with almost every big freighter Uedama gate, Juunigaishi gate and Sivala gate. They also blackmail pilots coming through to buy a permit.

Bumping is allowed by game mechanics. Harrasment and repeatedly bumping into your frighter or ship preventing you to get to the warpgate is not. You can file a petition but I did that too and there is no reponse so far.

If other ships bump into you I would be fine with it when the ganker receives an amount of damage to his ship (like in RL this would happend in a car crash too). Bumping 2-3 times into your ship the ganker should be destroyed. Then the game mechanics would be fine to me. Otherwise it is not.

If CCP not wants to listen and change the game mechanics soon, you still have the option to pull your monthly membership.

Bumping repeatedly? I did nowhere read that this is the rule. Only CCP will know and they can decide. It´s harrasment.

But as told. CCP has the right to make the rules. Pilots have the rights to pull their membership and play something else. I see too many complains of players and CCP just closed the topics down. Not much hope.

Thats a good business model :) When I would be your boss and I caught you in telling that customers I would fire you on the spot. Maybe the reason so many leave. Cause no one cares? :)

So, good luck with your attidude and respect towards paying members of the game.

My opinion again: Bumping only if the opposite ships takes an amount of damge. If not, it´s an exploit as of my definition cause it has no consequence for the aggressor, just for the pilot who gets repeatedly bumped.

Sure. I can also not play the game at all :) As told, all options possible and CCP has all rights to set the rules.

Odd to me is, why so many players complain about the game mechanics then. Something is just not right then. Highsec is and should be safe. If Concord is to weak or slow, there is something wrong too. Game mechanics is just fail then.

I'm curious, why do you think CONCORD exists at all? If highsec is suppose to be safe, why do you think CCP didn't just turn off the ability to use offensive modules against un-flagged targets and skip coding all that CONCORD nonsense?

Actually, you don't have to answer that. Maybe you should just read the New Pilot FAQ and see what it says about this game. If you have a sort attention span, I suggest you start at Chapter 7 and go from there.

Well, you could be right with your comment and its a good idea. But this should stay basicaly and be valid in lowsec and 0.0. Not in high. But I can agree that some gankers do just not have the balls to move to low or 0.0 instead they are taking advantage to continously commiting crimes in highsec.

If this happend from time to time- well. If it is organized, its harrasment in my eyes and unfair game play against other players in high sector cause CONCORD can not stop them long term. So the function CONCORD is trying to fullfill, is fail cause the gankers do not care about it. CONCORD just nags them in 0.5 for example, but does not purnish them if they can tank the damage and dock up again. Then rinse and repeat. Gate guns do basicly very less damage in 0.5.

Some dudes have a sec level of -10.0 and are still there ganking. They should not even be able to use gates anymore in high and just be cloned down to lowsec after they did hit -10.0. For me these are criminals without a jail. Not possible in real either. But just examples...

Also highsec is 1.0 to 0.5. To be "safe" and even for new players, highsec should all ! be 1.0. A universe for new players and settled corps. If someone goes low or 0.0, well then you can count on everything and you can do everything. I did always miss the clear line in the game and all just stays at BIG Sov, BIG Corps, BIG Fleets big, big, big...

Boring.

This game is absolutely the harshest - but that is what makes it one of the best, if not the best MMO out there. No other game gives you the heart thumping action of Eve. I've played since 2003 and even now I still get a rush when closing in for a kill, because you always know that there is a chance that you could get blobbed yourself!

In your case, I'm sure you know there are things you could have done so that you didn't lose your freighter...from the big long list of game related possibilities you listed you seem to know the game pretty well. A simple check with your webber if there was a macherial at the gate might have saved you? You also could have hauled most of that lot in a DST in half the time and 1/7 of the cost?

By the way, if it makes you feel any better, this was a total CODE fail - 7 Brutix at 70m each for a 35m drop..... ;-)

Don't give up - get even!

INCORRECT` - that might have been your motivation, but it isn't Codes

The thing is, Eve isn't real life - so real life things don't have to happen in Eve. There has to be a balance between realistic stuff and making Eve a fun game. The bumping mechanic isn't really all that great but it, and CODE, do add something to hi sec to make things more exciting. You now have to think when travelling thru hi sec - and if you don't then ganking can be the result.

Remember, if you had a billion pounds you wouldn't head outside with it in your pocket even in the quietest safest leafy suburb - youd have guards, you would scout the route ahead, etc....so maybe do the same in Eve and you will be ok

The code is nonsense.

There is no "boting" anymore since multiboxing is not allowed anymore. What a crap.

I make up a code now:
From now on everyone has to change their underwear on a every day base. Because we want to check up on that everyone has to wear their underwear outside. Obay or get bumped! Changing underwear permit is 10 mill isk btw. because we want clean pants.

Ever heard about dictatorship? I want to play and not obay a dictator.

If multiboxer would still be in the icefields I would consider supporting these guys. Other that that: Lame!
