EVE General Discussion

High sec terrorissm, is destructive, nothing constructive, like a trolling on forums, here ISD locks the posts that are too trolish or non constructive, something like that in game keeps functioning.
CCP dont seem to bother with eliminating high sec terrorism, even when its something destructive and on such scale, and in real world it is severely punished and tried to be eliminated everywhere it appears. If they really think its real world science fiction, they should make more to punish those terrorists. But for now they cant construct system without overdestructive element. This is bad.

This should be fun.

CCP have lost a lot of players from this, I come across ex-eve players who were the prey type all the time, I spoke to another one today that played Eve for 9 years and gave up at the height of the mining ships having the tank of a wet paper bag.

The question is how niche does CCP went to make it, players like me like the challenge of playing a tough game, but it gets boring after a while because to be blunt players like me get bored at just how lame they the gankers and player killers really are. They can do absolutely nothing against me, war decs ganks, nothing.

The fact is I am at a level that I control my risk, I lost one ship to gankers, and that was Russian gankers when I was shooting them, it was a Thrasher. It is not hard to defeat these players.

The thing is they prey on stupid and lazy players, they are not wrong on this, however there are many mechanics that actually help them, be it from loot scooping to bumping, they are great at using them.

But the issue is that this game is becoming too niche, its ending up with difficult to kill players like me, gankers, griefers, scammers, market traders, power gamers and player killers only, and all of them are risk averse, so in the end it is getting more and more boring.

Then you ahve the structural issues around accounts, so that you try to build something and in comes a spy who then wrecks your alliance from the inside, so the game is full of sloth and inactivity based on its structure and player base activities.

Personally I am losing faith that there is any way back from this and the closing of those earlier threads was a symptom of that.

And I posted some, which you didn't bother responding to.

Since this thread is going places, seems to me that the recent attacks have caused pain, loss, charity, solidarity, and major anger at the attackers. I haven't seen fear and terror anywhere.

your insistence on it being answered by a dev when the answer was already stated and is obvious besides is a bit stupid indeed.

Eve is a game where many questions can be asked and it needs kind of a special snowflake to assume that their questions are worth dev-time.

Again, if it bothers you this much, if you hate a core aspect of EVE that much (and you are talking about a core aspect, EVE has been a game of bastards since day 1), WHY are you still here?

It's not going to change, nor should it because the stuff you are complaining about is a part of the reason why EVE is still here while most "please be nice to each other or we will ban you" MMOs died within 3-4 years of launch.

Even for those of us who don't partake in the Bastardry (personally I despise ganking, scamming, stealing, awoxxing and everything like that so I don't do those things), learning to survive in that kind of environment is what makes the game fun. When CCP nerfs the interesting people (like those Terrorists, called CODE, and yes, Terrorism is ok in a game, because it's a game), they are really nerfing those of us who NEED the interesting people to play against.

And all for what, so lazy people can afk in peace? Screw that nonsense.

Don't be, I don't like two players here in particular, guess which ones . I guess I am getting tired at them being so lame with their digs and wind ups and using Alinsky tactics and all to shut up debate. So I am pointing it out, I expect a forum ban soon for hurting their tender feelings.

The issue about consequences is a valid one, there is no real consequence, and that post by CCP Falcon set my teeth on edge in a major way. To be blunt I reckon he regrets making that post and that is why the lock thread hammer is coming down hard and fast, that in itself was well rather disturbing.

I wish more people were like you, Ralph and Dirty Forum Alt, even Shae on a good day with a following wind, But I guess another part of it is boredom at trying to talk in a sensible way with people who are trolling with attack posts and the like, so it gets more difficult to be even handed in a discussion when they do that, which is why they do it.

I am writing a book at the moment for my own pleasure, I think I better get back to that. Thanks for the heads up and I will now drop gracefully from the forums for a couple of days.

confirming, its like fishing for people with a Hubris lure.

To anyone who hasn't figured it out yet:

The OP doesn't want the actual answer to his question.

He wants "an answer" from CCP for something he perceives as an outrage. This is just a passive-aggressive troll thread directed at CCP Falcon - hampered by the poor wording and refusal to elaborate by the OP.


Similarly, I could demand "an answer" as to how the monstrous L4 Mission Runners and Incursioners have a 99% efficiency rating against those poor NPC's, while most solo combat pilots have less than a 50% kill:death ratio...

Or I could demand "an answer" as to how those cheating miners can have a 99.999% success ratio in their murderous battle against the harmless asteroids/ice rocks/gas clouds...Only losing ships when outside, non-resource entities intervene...

The literal "answer" to these questions is painfully simple, even to a child - he is after a different sort of "answer"...



PS: Passive aggressive rarely works on internet forums - you would save yourself a lot of time/effort if you just took the direct approach and said you think it is broken and should be changed. Either way though, your thread will be locked, and you aren't going to get what you want.

PPS: I bet I offended some of you with my examples. Passive aggressive questions like this tend to do that. Now think about the fact that you are similarly pissing off at least one member of CCP and making him even less likely to ever take you seriously. Way to be counter-productive OP.
