Your arguments are so full of holes I can't even bother dealing with them. The changes I proposed that are not original would improve the game for every single person, even the miner who would never want to pick up a gun and shoot.

But please, keep advocating keeping status quo, it is not like that would hurt any of usRoll

or, how long have you actively played eve?

2009. But my experience in pvp based MMos goes back to UO.

edit; interdictor pilot in highsec are you?Lol

Nope. Tengu pilot in hisec, heavy interdictor pilot in null. Though scripts allow dictors to have their uses in high sec.

But if you must know, some corps/alliances will fully refund that ship and let you make enough ISK to get you by, even today. Or do you mean salary? Some corps do have share programs and dividends, look harder.

Why would I look? Im not pressed, im having fun. You're the one here pleading a case with convoluted emotional tripe.

Figuratively speaking, your alliance needs me (the player resource) I dont need your alliance.

You have fun doing what? Declare wars on others in highsec, gotcha, how did my changes make that worse? Oh because you can't cut their lowsec income stream? WHat corps do you declare war on? Are you pissed off then that hulks stop mining in highsec because of suicide gankings? what you can't gank them in lowsec? or you can't mine without safety of highsec? But it is safe, ever heard of d-scan and watching local and map stats? all of them work, only way to be ganked mining in highsec is if you are stupid or new. My proposal would let newbies mine more in peace, if you are smart and rich to afford a hulk then move in lowsec, I proposed more of those and more safety at their gates and stations, I ask, what do you want?

So you don't need an alliance, ok, do you need a corp? do you want to play with others at all?

I can go on and on asking questions you, the guy and girl before wont answer for a lifetime I see.

who do you mine for? build for? get ISK for? play for?

Is sandbox and your sandbox=make isk and mine for the fun of it a few hours a day for years and nothing else? solo? I have a hard time buying that, perhaps if you were Data and had no emotions maybe, but even then Data wanted to be more human Lol

May I suggest playing the real stockmarket then? Or monopoly? or just play angry birds? I just don't believe someone is willing to spend time and money to do industry in this game without a goal other than that being the goal on its own. ANd if it isShocked Why can't you do that in lowsec, 0.0 or in a wormhole? My changes would make that easier, more fun and rewarding.

Or are you saying because you are anti social and have yet to meet or have any friends who think like you do to create said corp or alliance my changes are not to be implemented now?

god you guys are worse than goons forcing your **** down my throat!

PS: I played industry myself for years, you are like a painter that does not want anyone even yourself to take pleasure in your painting, hint* they do not exist, why do they exist in EVE?

edit; if it is because you want to play a game like flOw then play flow, why on earth would you buy call of duty to have a gaming experience like Tetris. That is what you are doing now.

If my arguments were full of holes, 0.0 would be bursting full of people furiously elbowing to get there. Too bad they aren't.

There's not a single game except EvE, where end game means to go live in a worse situation.

"Hay guys look we are all elite and smart, we go live on a pillar in the middle of a desert. Yes we are being seared and our skin cracks under the sun but look, we get double your wage to spend in the shops that... oh wait there are no shops here".


I only and exclusively play PvP games, I have played GW2 beta but also other games with basically no "hi sec" at all. All of them had this common element, where you'd join a top guild and all would rock.
You always find a team.
Your stuff would be better.
Your lives would be better.
You'd get more and better "recipes".

In EvE you go live in the middle of nowhere for what? There are AS good low sec / FW corps as 0.0 ones, there is AS good roams and blobs in low sec as 0.0 ones (well, blobs are smaller but blobs are for zero skill scrubs anyway).
Yet in low sec there are stations, refineries (including where minerals are), labs...

Until 0.0 becomes better *for living* then 0.0 will be a niche thing only reserved to those who feel good and "arrived" for the mere fact of being there.

All the others will happily do their living away.
I have been in every sec in EvE and the day they delete hi sec, I WILL head to low sec, eventually to WHs. If everything fails, to NPC 0.0 (where there are much more dynamic and fun corps than many sov ones). But sov 0.0? No thanks. It's cruddy. Too cruddy.

Wait are you serious?Lol

Now you did it again and again you are wrong, the cause is not that players want to mine 24/7 in EVE without any risk for no other reason to collect space ISK to buy another mining ship to mine more space ISK to then put all that in a wallet without ever spending it for 9 years. It is the opposite, it is an effect stemming from the fact that it is safe, profitable and you do it because of those reasons and the goal is ISK/minerals, which you then use on other parts of EVE.

Like I said before, there is no such thing as a miner that does only that for a year without a reason except for the soothing experience of being AFK when doing it, how else do you get ganked mining if not afk rightRoll

So at the end of the day, you can keep arguing me about human nature or get realistic.

edit; the changes I proposed not original would make the game more enjoyable for every one, not just what you label me as.

Nowhere is safe in Eve. Eve is a sandbox. These things you speak are a feature, not a bug.

I know eve is not safe anywhere, that is a feature that should exist and I LOVE IT.

eh? That is kinda my point, you should not be perfectly safe when mining, it should also be fun and if you can afford a hulk it should not be profitable for you to mine in highsec anymore nor should you want to because it is better for you to mine eslewhere!

Reflect on it? If your sandbox and goal in EVE is to only mine for no other reason than to have a big wallet you never spend and that is the end of your EVE experience, you are not human!

Apparently, what? Did you read them on page 4 and reflected on them for more than a second?



? I think you misunderstood me or I must misunderstand you, please read the thread starting page 4 even. Or reply and explain yourself better please, also know some of the quotes you made of me, with rolling eyes? had something called sarcasm, a little bit.

Listen, I even once played SWG as a cantina dancer host doing nothing else Lol But I did it to buff my fellow guild members, have fun and put on crazy shows, even make videos and upload them on youtube Oops Sometimes I even got killed and had my cantinaa invaded Evil

But I loved all of it.

Now, how does a solo miner do any of that? People thought I was crazy and others like me for enjoying SWG that way, but even if they did not enjoy that they could understand why I and others did. Because a, it does not go against human nature and b, it was "fun" and rewarding.

I have yet to come across any awesome mining videos on youtube, yet to come across miners that actively enjoy their activity except anonymous forums alts? You know every single mining OP I have been in has been about the result and whatever activity we did during it that was not clicking f1 to activate strip miner.

So it is not fun, it is not rewarding compared to other activities and is mostly done with a bot or being AFK. To be profitable you need several accounts and or botting it which does not make it fun either or even more "fun".

How is that not begging for a change?

Let me make it more clear, I understand an industry player loving industry building for corp or profit or even to expand to build greater things or corner the market? and stuff like that. But to just do it for no reason which is what people are saying when arguing the changes I listed on page 4... no I do not believe it.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you were the one to define what it is to be human. I can see someone doing this. Humanity is composed a lot of people, and someone might want to do this. They are playing in Eve. Eve is a sandbox. If they want to play this way, why not?

Maybe, maybe it's a little bit of both. Maybe noone is really trying to understand one another and just writing walls of text and creating pools of tears.

You play the game the way you play the game, and have fun. Why does everyone else have to do the same as you? Is that human?

Except for the botting part, who cares. Mining is an activity in Eve. I do enjoy mining. It's a nice relaxing way to just sit and stare at the stars, chat with people, listen to music, plan the next thing to do. Perhaps it's not about mining? Perhaps it's an activity for reflection.

Of course, you understand everything about everything. You decide who is human. We know what happens when one person decides who is human. Tears.

Listen, even a robot needs someone or something programming it to do something. Even in your own reply you hinted that you do mining as 1 activity and not the only thing in EVE you ever do.

Want to reflect on life mining? be 100% safe? EVE is not for you. But you did not say that did you? So then how, please tell me, did ANY of the changes I listed make your experience worse and not better doing mining and even reflecting on stuff?

They did not, possibly it made your experience more fun and more rewarding, or did you hate CCP when they talked about ring mining?

You keep saying I decide what is human, no I do not, what I do however is state facts about what makes you human to begin with and they have been known for quite some time. Do you also hate them paleontologists, Zoologists and psychiatrists?

You keep replying to people like you believe hi sec = solo mining.

Hi sec (any sec) is much more than mining.
Actually, mining is one of the few hi sec things you can do almost as good in 0.0, so your argument does not hold at all.

It's all the rest that is missing in 0.0: from lively markets to mass ability to research and invention, ability to buy stuff below refine value and reprocess it, ability to run missions (some guys like that, sue them!) which you cannot do unless you live in NPC nullsec.

I have no problem with the existance of PVP. PVPers may PVP all day long. They may even try to PK PVEers if they can catch them. Even me, I have been ganked and will be ganked in the future if I am not cautious enough.

It's an aspect of EVE.

The fact that I don't PVP myself doesn't mean that I don't condone PVP. I see no use for it for myself, that's all.

What catches my interest ist why PVPers tend to try to speak out against PVE at any given opportunity (well, PVEers speaking out against PVP are somewhat catching my interest as well, but they tend to be on the less agressive side).

That's why I started this thread.
