Maybe we've been playing on opposite ends on the universe... I remember when almost everyone use to honor 1v1's. lol. Not a huge deal. Losses I don't mind. Don't mind getting scammed either. It happens, don't really mind getting ganked in a 1v1. Just been wondering about how many ppl out there are starting to use it as a way to get kills. Guess no one cares about honor anymore. lol. guess most ppl will laugh at that or will troll me for believing in it. oh well.s :)


As you can tell if you check my character, I'm not a PvP player and neither are my other two accounts. I'm a new player.

There are some great folks that I've met playing EVE so far. A lot of them have destroyed my ships. Some of them have podded me. However, these folks have played honestly. They don't lie to me in game. They don't attempt to scam me. Even as they have wardeced my Corp and chased me all over three regions hunting me. Sure EVE is a rough universe, but I think that folks that don't understand the concept of truth and honor in a game, are the same slime balls that don't understand the concept in RL.

The real world isn't full of assholes, but EVE tends to attract them to like flies for some reason.

Do you guys think that actively seeking 1v1's with the intent to gank them is a legit and skillful way of PVP? It appears that many people do. Is it a form of PVP? sure? but... Just my opinion.



Hey hey Az Tek. Your used to how we fly around your old home in Molden Heath.

To answer your questions:

Is it skillful?

Nope. Nowhere near skillfull. People in gangs really dont realize just how easy it is to take out a target with 5 other gang members. These are the same people that wont engage in pvp unless they outclass their opponent and when they fly around solo they are left scratching their heads wondering why their cynabal didnt take out that armor rupture in 1 v 1.

Is it a legit tactic?

Yup. Their goals are different than yours. They want kills anyway they can get them. Doesnt matter if they have 10 battleships shooting that merlin or not. A kill is a kill to them.

GL in your 1 v 1 quest. It is hard to find at times.

When it comes to PvP, I am like a chiwawa hanging from a grizzley bears pair of wrinklies for dear life.

Hey Olley. That last part about being a legit tactic is saddening, But I know you, your a good pilot and enjoy solo PVP as much as me. So I most deff respect your opinion and can see now what you mean. I shall just be very mindful during 1v1's. More so now then normal. And thanks for the response. :)
