Why does nullsec care so much about what highsec is doing?

And again, back to the original question, why does the nullbears seem to hate the Carebears so much?


It could be because instead of adapting when troubles happen PvE-centric players decided to whine relentlessly to CCP until they got what they wanted.

It could be because PvE-centric players bring almost-no content to the game yet demand that their wants be met before others.

It could be because when the group that preys on PvE-centric players did adapt the PvE-centric players took to the forums again instead of adapting themselves.

It could be because when confronted with their own form of resistance "forum whining" the PvE-centric players complained that their predators should adapt again instead of defending themselves against the "forum whining."

It could be because people are tired of seeing an ever decrease in highsec-risk, which PvE-centric players are very much for.

It could be because CCP has stated that an ailing nullsec will not be touched for at least two years yet highsec sees continual reward buffs.

It could be because EVE is a single-shard which means it doesn't matter where it happens it has the potential to affect you. Highsec happenings most certainly have some degree of affect in nullsec.

Personally I'm tired of seeing highsec players advocate for more risk nerfs to highsec yet keeping the same reward I can get in nullsec. For those that don't understand that previous sentence, nullsec is tired of getting the raw end of the deal with highsec.

its cause theyre bored and need someone upon whom to vent their angst as they cant do it on blues

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

I think something taken for granted but also most definitely overlooked is the fact empire is by definition a "utopia" whereas lowsec would be thought of the "high seas" and nullsec would be akin to a "wasteland".

But everyone wants rights to the same thing, and quite honestly, it just doesn't happen that way.

Now yes, right now, I am a highsec carebear. Only because I am still fairly new (under 6 months old) and most of my stuff is still hangared here.

But I do do a bit of everything. I love lowsec roams when we want to find random fights and ransoms and have fun, I do absolutely like nullsec, even to just rat/plex. Even though it was boring for content, I had a ton of fun learning about sov warfare when I was in a fleet that got to jump from a titan in a pos to another pos dodging 2 snipers in my little crucifier trying to slowboat cloak up to them to give a warpin spot.

I also like exploring unknown WH space.

L3 and L4 missions are fun, never tried L5s (I'd pop) yet but I have done quite a few incursions as well.

Point being, I try to explore and learn and find all sorts of content.. and the worst part of Eve so far is still trying to deal with trade hubs when I need to sell or buy something and watching stupid station games and gank fests.

Yet I don't whine. Kids will be kids, but the same people generating these "tears" out of carebears are the low/null seccers who apparently are unhappy with their own choices and are taking it out on the world.

Then telling their victims "if you dont like it gtfo" which makes little sense.

Have your cake and eat it too, and all that.

@La Nariz above: you seem to believe a dozen of posters crying how their barge got popped completely COMMAND and DOMINATE CCP into their whims.
I find it somewhat unlikely, expecially coming from a company which always kept a lot of statistics to base their decisions upon.

I'm quite honestly curious. The passion (for lack of a kinder word) shown by those who live primarily in nullsec towards those who live primarily in highsec is rather mind boggling. I'll leave lowsec players out of it for the most part, since they generally seem more interested in improving their own lot, and less interested in degrading someone elses.

I claim this because Hulks/Macks were perfectly capable of being tanked before the barge EHP buffs occurred. Yet instead of adapting by fitting a DC2 and an invulnerability field, tanking their ship, many threads popped up howling about how mining ships needed buffs. The ships had their EHP needlessly buffed after an onslaught of whining ranging from "why did my 230mil ship die to a 5mil ship" to "killing miners is killing eve." All CCP had to do was make a simple post like: http://eve-search.com/thread/165381-1/author/CCP . When the threat shifted from ganking to bumping, these same PvE-centric players began howling on the forums again and look what happened: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2235632 .

Goons have 16000 ships on their leaderboard for permageddon. The hulk ganking was out of control, the same way nano ships were out of control. People whined and complained about nano ships too. Just because someone complains does not mean they don't have a legitimate complaint. Goons brought the barge change on. Now Goons complain about it. Its your own damn fault.

I love this wonderful proof that there was something wrong with the game. All of those miners tanked their ships instead of fitting them for max yield and were still ganked solo by a civilian fit catalyst.

Blah blah blah, I've heard this a million times by now. I still blame Goons for the nerf.

And yet, just because someone complains, it doesn't mean it was a legitimate issue. At every turn where something was either nerfed of buffed, the perpetrators had to take more and more extreme measures to adapt to the situation. Where is the end leading to? Where is the breaking point where a change is implemented where a certain activity is completely wiped out so that a segment of the population is completely protected, simply because they couldn't be asked to fit their ships and use their brains defensively?

I don't know about you, but if I wasn't allowed to gank some smartmouthing kid in highsec simply because I'm straight up "not allowed to", I'd have to find another outlet in another game. You should not be given a free pass because you feel entitled to a safe environment in a game where "Unconsensual PvP" is the advertised tagline.

Using a weapon as a deterrent in a diplomatic situation is only viable when you have proven that you have deployed it in the past and are willing to use it in the future.
