As for holding the pod, don't assume it is just for the green killboard. Rather it is so people get on a kill. After all, that is what people want with PvP... Good fights and getting kills. Holding a pod so people can get on it is just an extension of the latter. People joined a fleet for kills, holding the pod gives them one more chance for a kill. That's not quite the same as a green killboard. Even if there was no killboard and only a ticket saying... You assisted in killing X ships, people would still hold the pod.

Why should everyone know that a guy named hurgmurflUr killed me in Delve on the 2nd of May? Why should my character be forever associated with a guy named hurgmurflUr? Why is hurgmurflUr on my character sheet? And why should my losses by target of the scrutiny of every single EVE player that decides to look up my information?

Losing a ship is something I can move on from and learn from it. But hurgmurflUr's taste for character naming will forever haunt my nightmares.


Well now that's just terrible. If we remove names from KMs, it might save you the horror of having someone with an awful name recorded as having killed you, but it would also rob you of the privilege and honour of having my name listed as someone who's killed you. You'd be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Blink

Having been killed by Remiel, I have to say it is quite the honor.

If you don't care about killboards, why are you so butthurt about people holding pods?

As someone with a super red Killboard I say it needs to stay. It is my pride that I have flown so many ships to there end.
