Just get rid of killmails all together and it will fix the attitude some people have in this game


I don't think they should be completely done away with, but I do believe that only one person should get the killmail. That person is the one who gets the killing strike.

I realize that losing isn't always fun, but the mentality that you can have fun only if you win has become the common mindset today. I think that is one of the bigger impediments to PvP today. Ironically, no one is born elite, they had to work and train to get there. Since winning is such a huge requirement, I think it discourages a lot of people from jumping in that pot and learning how to PvP effectively. People like me who have a bad loss or something like that are hosed before we even get a chance.

I'm not elite, I wouldn't even say I'm great. So that's why I just play my own game and go on. In that, the only one who can disappoint me is myself. I enjoying my time now because of that.

having a super high kill ratio means you are afraid to fight against the odds.

The only things that matter in null-sec is attitude and participation.

I have a 98 or 99% killboard efficiency and I can truthfully say I'm only as good as my FCs. They planned good campaigns, ran good ops, I showed up, and did what I was told.

The key to happiness in null-sec is just finding mates who are available when you are whose company you enjoy. You'll meet people from other corps once you're out there. Keep in touch with the ones you enjoy flying with. They may drag you to new corps, later.

This 1000%

Back in the day when I had ooodles of free time, loved 0.0 life. Yeah, Killboard stats were looked at and you didn't want to get caught and killed in your ratting ship too often. Then there was the alliance guys who actually avoid reporting intel to try and hog kills. Those were the assholes you knew were going to be trouble and they were. In the end you teamed up with guys you trusted and had fun.

If you have the tenacity, start your own corp and then go hunt down the corps that rejected you.

I cant see whats wrong with 10 man derp corporation? Big smile

1) even if u are beginner, u could probably shine in that corp

2) if u fly cheap ships its impossible to do permanent damage to your killboard efficiency realy

Fight ! Fight ! Never surrender, never surrender !
