I know what's he's trying to say:

Pods should drop implants as well. I mean, I think podding someone and taking the corpse back to a station for some one on one fun is a good enough reason, but if that's not your thing there should be other rewards.

+1 for that Reech


I always assumed that the trauma and burning, followed by freezing destroyed em. If nothing else, the switch between the extreme environments would create fractures followed by being incased in crystalization.

im unsubbed and not logging in, im about to uninstall it, they could make it so you can grief in starter systems, pod them and reset newbies skills back to zero and i really wouldnt care now.

im sure it will attract a lot more of those quality people you like so much.

why would i care if they make it worse for newbies to start up by enticing more podding in high sec?

it simply would confirm my choice to unsub was right.

you dont actually want players to be able to go to low or null sec for some reason, what is it some market thing, you dont want new players?

Many moons ago, there was the chinese bot community, who would pump out alts non-stop to move goods from system to system, sometimes one impant at a time, in itereons. They were frequently set upon by packs of rabid savages, that'd pod them over and over and over. No matter how often they came. In effect, griefing "Newbies" and setting them back to zero.



Man I miss those implants.

Last night I was in fleet with several players barely a week old in 0.0 gearing up for war. We like nubs who want to learn, who like to take part in things. They are often the best tackle as the have no fear. These people can win fights for us.

You however are not one of these people. You have not learned from your mistakes and you would rather give up than face a challange. Why would I want to take you into 0.0 wars?

because i was atleast trying to support myself monetary wise, and planning for the future training wise, since i am actually subscribed and not just a trial player?

maybe

maybe not, that could mean nothing to you. you want expendable noobs right now because thats more use to you, right now?

but someone who is serious about actually making a difference, you dont want them?

they may be happy for everyone to just hand **** out and do everything for them and wipe their arse for them but i atleast like to think i am playing my character, at some point. like making my own isk.

if thats the people you want. why even subscribe at all. why not just make throw away emails and only play it for 2 weeks.

its you and everyone else who seems to set upon making it as difficult for people in high sec to actually do this. and i wonder why.

SadSAD FACE ROFLSad

i love mining, including the chance to be ganked, otherwise it wouldn't have any form of excitement at all.

my only gripe with mining is low sec and nullsec mineral values aren't worth much more than hisec and this really leaves no incentive for hisec miners to leave hisec. currently arkonor while more valuable than veldspar, isn't worth the extra logistics and danger of non-hisec space. bistot and crokite are only marginally better than pyroxeres or scordite. this doesn't make any sense at all Sad

there's nothing wrong with being a carebear, unless you demand complete risk free activity in which case eve is not for you so gtfo.

Dude, just admit you're butthurt about losing 100mil in implants. This isn't about kiiling nubs or picking on new kids. It's about how you overspent on implants and got burned. It happens to everyone at least once in their EvE life, if not lots of times. It's part of learning about cost/benefit of things and finding a right balance. Quit trying to blame your failings and bad decision making on other people.

im glad i was butthurt so soon in my account that i could just close the sub and realise that this game is not for me at all. with zero attachment to the game to even entice me to stay.

thank you for that mr griefer. i do owe you for that, i suppose.

CCP thanks you for keeping eve niche griefer mmo and only keep quality players.

i was going to put pvp implants in my jump clone but i didnt get that far.

im not sure why you would do it to a miner though, just after youve blown their ship up. i guess that isnt enough reward for the kill?

are you guys happy that podding can happen in high sec? just curious.

is there an underlying need to pod in high sec? or a need to pod a miner, in high sec?

Sometimes, it's all about what they say afterwards. I generally only pod out of tactical need or because I want to express how serious I was about being paid my thirty silver.

Mining involves dragging a stack of ore to another window once every 2-4 minutes, then selling the ore once a week or so.


LP can be a now and again thing, as can dealing with a mineral stack ;-)

But really give the miners a more adventurous rewarding (but with more risk) option.


Low/Null/WH space is right over there for you.


Get the risk/reward balance right for a range of playstyles and thats fine.
