Bots? A bit too obvious.

I don't really see what point you are trying to make here.

What was all the crap about high sec miners learning to tank properly and how the 0.0 sec people are suppose to be so smart and now how to properly tank. From what I can tell those three that we ' were taken out were botters anyway. But hey, nobody in 0.0 bots - right - right.

Can you show evidence that those miners were botters? I never said that all nullsec miners were smarter. But you don't see that guy coming on here and bitching because he got popped, now do you?

You do realize that a kill mail isn't evidence of botting, right?

Edit: Now, if that player got popped, then their pod kept warping back and forth from the station every few minutes, that would be evidence of botting.

Still waiting on *real* evidence of botting.

Well yeah. So what defines a newbie? Or a noob? I would think that if I person is in a Hulk, they should have spent enough time in game to at least understand the risks involved in flying a ship in space.


Exactly. And if they don't, they are noobs.


Then how is killing their poorly fitted pure-income Hulks a bad thing? It's not our fault they are mentally deficient.


Ergo Hulkageddon.

And, to make it more clear, here's the definition of noob vs newbie that I've found to be most consistent and widely accepted.

A newbie is a player who doesn't know much about the game, but they're willing to learn and want to figure things out.

A noob is someone who thinks they know what they're doing, but doesn't really, and has decided that they're right and everyone else is wrong.

Both newbies and noobs come in all ages, I've seen very old players who are newbies in certain areas because they simply never went in that direction before and I've seen very young noobs who were sure that they were doing everything right and that they were supposed to be safe in highsec and all. Age doesn't matter much, just willingness to learn and have an open mind.


I like to make **** up too.

are serious business sir.
