Actually since we control CCP ourselves now we'll make sure its a permaban and transfer of all assets to Mittens' hangar.

Now I can understand trolling and griefing. It's part of the internet, part of online gaming since it's inception, and certainly one of the biggest parts of Eve's community.

What I can't understand, is several of the suicide ganker arguments I've read give the impression that these gankers seem to be offended by the very presence of highsec miners, and I can't understand how they are affected by the way someone else plays the game.

And don't give me the "closest thing to a bot without being a bot" line. CCP could have made mining much more interesting over the past years, and all they've done is give us faster ways to chew rocks and stare at lasers. I honestly think that these hardcore pew pew Internet spaceship pilots are mad that highsec miners have opted for low-risk EZ mode in terms of ways to make ISK.

There's a reason Eve is a niche market. Every griefing activity that is allowed in New Eden would be bannable offenses in other MMO's.

So in a sense, we are the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the MMO industry.

Any help on this viewpoint? Thanks.

Earlier today, the Dixon Mining Guild and the Butz Manufacturing Corporation formed a coalition.

It's hard to tell if there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Dixon-Butz Alliance.

Maybe this is the reason why CCP said they don't need more customers ? just trying to figure it out.

The last guy talking about how he was going to go to fanfest to beat up goons irl no-showed in the end so sadly I expect this will be equally disappointing :(


haha make sure you have someone stealth so if a trouble maker rocks up you can fleet warp in on them just in case! Whats the fanfest concord like? I've never been


Half of CCP's staff are big hairy vikings so I think they have it covered.


Big hairy vikings with mohawks. And CCP Guard is ripped.

I'm assuming CCP Phantom is doing their usual "delete all content from a thread instead of banning the person who did the derail/etc" deal, so:

Quote:
Your just a ******, pure and simple, a little man with a god complex, i saw you at fanfest, it took all my not considerable patience to attack you then and there, because of all my gaming history you are the only player i actually want to do damage to. I dont care if i get banned for this post, my accounts are about to run out anyway.

Rest assured, i will be at fanfest next year and i WILL make sure to make your aqquantence sir. Forcefully. You disgust me. What kind of sad pathetic tool joins a **** ton of players to a game just to destroy and force people to play how you want.

God you must be messed up in your head. do u take drugs or are u just ******* ********?

Don't delete it this time, thanks (also, stop deleting half the posts in the thread because it destroys any semblance of conversation and it's the worst way to moderate in existence).

Yes, CCP literally is killing 30 million of his own citizens by starving them.

wow, my hat off to you sir

Yes, it's a quest.

Gank: 10 Exhumer-class ships

Turn in: Automatic

Reward: 100 million ISK.



ok, lets just assume I decide to kill my own kind, and join the dark side.

what are the negative affects of ganking 10 times to one's security status? not to mention 10X ?
will I be banned from hi-sec?
also, if one ganks 10 exhumers, dont I lose 10 ganking ships along with whatever it costs to build that ship?
so, with a 100 mil reward, it still turns a hefty profit?

....just a thought if I do decide to join em, since i cant beat em :)

T1 ships are cheap as hell to gank with. It's something like 10 million to fit a good one? Don't fit more than 3 or 4 volleys at the most cause you won't live past that.

hmmm, so 10 T1 ships at about 10 mil each = 100 mil in the red, plus 100 mil reward? what's the incentive? am I missing something?
