Only strengthenen my theory on your lack of gain from this
You really are dense aren't you? Roll For me, as a person, the gain is the fun I get from playing EvE as intended inside the Sandbox.

There doesn't have to be any other gain, the game is here to be fun and that it's being. For me at least.


That sounds great, that means my alt can return doing highsec incursions in about 2 weeks when your large griefing fleet required for this have lost its members to direct boredom, due to no gain but the lulz and apparently some returning players to low/null, which arent even meassureable and thus inconclusive.
Unless a fruitful argument drops in.

until then i got some sec status to burn on suicides and other ganks, while this gets boring.

*cries while holding her golden award*

First I would like to thank these wonderful people from Kill it with fire, Bricks, Skunks and of course those hardworking people from C&P that showed up in our channel to fight alongside with us.
*wipes tear away*

This could not have been done without you *sops* and by all means this is definitely not the end of it. We shall continue our crusade and hammer some sense into CCP's game and the head of these mindless incursion runners.

If an incursion spawns today then feel free to join in with us on either

a. Taking it down.
b. Causing an immense amount of grief with suicide fleets.

To all those who had no faith in our ability. Well have you seen what we have accomplished so far? Threadnoughts everywhere, drama and tears everywhere and last but not least no incursion anywhere in highsec! Big smile

Your accomplishments amuses me, seeing you cant argument for why you are doing this :D

fyi: threadnaughts and drama made by you.

can i get your comment on alot of pvpers making their earnings on incursions in highsec to fund their pvp and wardecs? will this not have a negative impact (as well i might say) on your campaign.

also i noticed your char isnt even old enough to have any eve experience whatsoever.

In technical sense that is the same result as not being able to comment.

Well not sure about you, but I cant argument about anything, and read the first post, the reasons are spelled out there.

(for the sake of the lazy/stupid) - hi-sec incursions create a huge reward with almost no risk, any comparable levels of income have a much higher amount of risk attached to them. In addition, the isk from incursions comes from thin air(space?) most other ways to earn isk transfer it from player to player. This is compounded by the fact that the mechanics involving the mothership and despawning incursions are broken, allowing the most profitable sites to be farmed for isk 23/7.

This is bad and it should stop, but CCP are waiting for the summer expantion to do anything about them (and even then, probably not enough). Therefore it falls upon the denizens of C&P to be a stopgap measure, the tears are just a bonus.

either that or simply just for lulz. Lol

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

I still see no reason why you are butthurt over people in highsec makes less ISK than you.. what are you stopping besides the carebear income?

If mechanics are the problem you should also be closing ALL low and nullsec incursions as they also procure ISK out of thin air.

i can still only conclude you people are just butthurt, as the primary reason in this thread is "risk vs reward" and lulz.
This entire thread is a big whine thread over broken mechanics, yet you seem to live on the carebear tears.

edit: also there is 7 returning players in my current corp now that came back from years of inactivity to try out incursions, 2 of them have already unsubbed... some gain.

We are not nullsec players, we are highsec and wormhole dwellers.


I'm the one braindamaged when your the one who thinks that me referring specifically to the lowsec/nullsec players somehow included you?

Let me be more clear so you can understand, I wasnt directing those comments at you. Oh, and last I checked, wormholes had a 0.0 sec status, so technically that makes you a nullsec player if you live in w-space.

If I came along and popped your PVP ship before you could pop someone else, that's griefing even. I'm disrupting your plans.


No, that's called PvP. Happens all the time. You need to get out more.

Quote:
The term griefing, within eve however, is mostly only applied to people who's PRIMARY intention is to disrupt someone elses planned actions. Your causing grief by changing those plans. It's a fairly simple concept, I dont see how your missing it.


Disrupting someone else's planned actions is called "playing the game". I'm a trader, when I buy stuff, my planned action may be to sell it at a 50% mark-up, under the assumption that all other traders in that market have something to gain by not slashing the prices. Nevertheless, it happens all the time (I do it myself if I feel I can gain something in the long run). Again, PvP.

I'm still pretty new to this game, but it is glaringly clear that you are not entitled to any kind of income or activity. You can-mine, someone can steal your stuff. You trade, someone can manipulate the markets or just annihilate your profit margin. You haul, someone can blow up your ship and steal your cargo. You want to PvP, someone can play endless station games. You want to wardec someone, they can hide behind a decshield. You want to farm incursions, someone can kill the mothership as soon as it appears. All working as intended.

PS: ppl who claim to need incursion ISK to PvP are dumb. And mostly lying.


At what point in did I say it wasnt playing the game or that I'm against that? I didnt. I'm also a trader who will buy horribly underpriced items and resell them for a profit. I did not say once that I dont support 'playing the game'. Perhaps I was inaccurate in my attempt to specify what I see as greifing, but I'll tell you now, no, I dont consider any of that greifing. Griefing, is causing other players grief, for no other reason (including profit, advantage, intel, etc) other then to take pleasure in causing them grief. It's all about purpose. If someone pops your ship and loots it for a profit, then they made a profit, but if their sole intent was to grief you, then they are griefing and the profit is just a side effect. I wasnt talking about playing the game, I was talking about griefing specifically, and only griefing.

This is simply my opinion/perspective, to which I'm entitled to just like every single one of you out their is. Your right, nobody is entitled to anything in this game, with the single exception of playing the game as they choose. I just find griefing itself, by itself, deplorable. Grief caused in the pursuit of profit, advantage, intel, or any other sought after object or goal, is while unfortunate, a side effect of playing the game. Grief caused with the intent of griefing people, for example, those that seek to make someone new to the game quit when they lose all 50,000 ISK of their assets in one blinding flash, is a sign of a deeply troubled person who cant find joy without causing harm to others.

Let me make this perfectly clear. I'm neither against the people wanting to kill the mothers, nor the people wanting to farm the sites. You are both playing the game as you like and I applaud that. I'm against them changing the game mechanics, because to be perfectly honest, all this conflict between these two, and possible 3 or 4 groups, I'm not sure who everyones with and dont really care, is good for business. I'm a manufacturer, a trader, a courier, a miner, and several other things in game. I fully endorse you guys fighting it out, losing ships, buying modules, and otherwise stimulating the economy, and that's all just bonuses. I'm most in support of you all playing them game and enjoying it to it's fullest as per your particular play styles. +1 Kudos to everyone on the thread.

I fully encourage an all out war between you all. Market prices should sky rocket. Big smile

You are quite misinformed on what an isk faucet is.

EVE is an illness, for which there is no cure.

Not true. Try running an incursion (anywhere, hi/lo/null) with no logi. Almost no risk is soloing a level 4 with a local tank. Vanguard sites require 2-3 logi pilots. No logi means you have a 100% chance of losing your ships. There is plenty of risk there, and this is not to mention that most people will be meeting their logi pilots for the first time in a pickup fleet. Another risk.

I have seen grand displays of cognitive dissonance displayed by those who have nothing but hate in their heart for incursions and incursion runners.

Those who are currently griefing, etc... do not have the mental fortitude or dexterity to keep their efforts up. Generally if you hold up something else that is shiny, it will get their attention. This happened previously with lvl 4 missions, wh's, and ice....

Sleeper blue loot, sold to npc buy orders, injects raw ISK into the game. So despite not saying that, it is also true. YFW you realise that not only are you misinformed as to how wormholes work, your also misinformed as to how reading works as well.

Also you are mad... I like that...

Yeah, picking up bad logi or joining a griefer fleet is a risk because you aren't careful and fly with people you trust. But it's a risk exactly the same way getting hit by a terrible driver the second you step out your front door is a risk. Drunk/bad/griefer logi/fc does not count. Try again.

The flaw in that argument is this is a MMO. i.e. you play with others.
