EVE General Discussion

Nice catch!


Good, the fewer hisec nobodies who come to the forums means the fewer who pay attention to CSM and thus will be in for a pleasant surprise when the next round of hisec nerfs are announced.

Hey, OP, does your life suck so much that you have to resort to posting troll threads ("awsum"?) on game websites?

Check into that whole "life" thing, stat.

No, Op EVE is not forced PvP

It's forced PvE

Its the only way to make ISK. Most people who come expect to PvP but spend 90% of thier time grinding ISK.

You, in your defence, didn't get to do either.

Eve is like the wild wild west. Anything and everything goes. You don't have to PVP but you do have to protect your ****.

Look at it this way, if you go to the wrong part of St. Louis in a nice shiny car and start goofing off, you will be ganked in a heartbeat.

Probably a mistake, but will treat as non-troll....

1. A Hostile War-Dec does not cause your Mining Laser I's to no longer function. A few very basic precautions on your part, and you could have mined away the day in relative safety. First, go to a low-population, or better yet, an empty system. PLenty low-pop systems about. Undock, go mine, keep one eye on local for War Targets. If one enters the system, dock. If he camps you, either wait, or log for 5-10 min. Odds are, he'll get bored and move on. When you log back in, change systems (don;t be a target).

2. A War Dec does not force you into PvP. It merely allows PvP to occur in High-Sec between the parties. Your actions, or lack of actions, are what will lead to PvP or not.

3. If War Dec's are too much, remaining a member of the NPC Corp eliminates teh trheat of War Dec's and High-Sec War-related PvP.

4. EVE is built around there being no 100% safe existence, and even as a miner mining away the day, you're still PvP'ing. PvP'ing when you sell your minerals on the market. PvP'ing if you use your mins to build ships for sale or corporate use. PvP'ing when you mine a good roid some other miner may have wanted.

5. Not every game is for every player. Perhaps WoW, or similar no-risk, PvE-centric style MMO's are more your speed. No harm in that, to each their own. Because EVE may not be suited to your preferences, does not mean "slamming it on every forum" is a mature or approrpriate thing to do. Why rage? Just move on to something else, plenty of games in the world, and many let you "just mine" with no risk involved.

Best of luck if serious, diaf if troll.

OP is trolling, get a life.

In reality, the actual definition of mining in EVE is "procuring minerals from asteroids while avoiding hostile/pirate craft that wish to prevent them from doing so".

Regardless of how it is interpreted, this is how things actually work in game. You either come to terms wtih that, or you chose a profession that does not require undocking.

I just don't get why people think a space game should have 100% safe spots. There are thousands of space movies out there and I would bet, 99% of them show that space is not safe

But there ARE repercussions... you just don't think they are severe enough.

Most people think that they ARE severe enough, especially if the most basic steps are taken to ensure that you do not become a victim.

Game mechanics should never prevent your ship from being destroyable if you insist on sitting in one spot, in a vulnerable ship, fitted purely for maximum profit, with no thought devoted to defense or evasion should you be attacked.

The question is: Why?

Why would someone with an alt who is into PVP try a troll thread like this?

Is there some kind of disease going around? I try to find a reason to do something like this, based on some kind of reward, and can't think of any.

To fully understand the troll mind might be difficult, like trying to understand a pathological liar perhaps.
