Crime & Punishment

I agree with you some, but mostly disagree with you, friend. :)

I'm with you to a limited extent on "enables", but not "encourages".

As far as "enables", I see they enable too much the carebears and their incremental and ceaseless quest for Hello Kitty in space.

Firstly fixed your post, if you're going to quote someone, at least attribute the quote, it's polite to do so.

Secondly, it's a game, it has rules and definitions specific to it. If you don't like the rules or definitions, then don't play the game.

What you perceive as bullying is actually people with ambition using creative gameplay and teamwork to achieve their ends, all of which is actively encouraged by CCP and the nature of the game.

Confirming PvP in a PvP game is bullying.

Just when you think this thread is dead, some quality tears pop up. I swear people cry about this more than actually being ganked. I might have to start bumping...

Know where thats from?

Go back.

PvP = Player vs. Player.

This is Eve. You must not be used to it.

Perhaps kek is better suited for you.

Me too. Maybe Capt Starfox could clarify by stating something like:

"Every now and then sensible and fundamentally decent people will embark, all of a sudden, on courses of which they themselves are the first to disapprove. In these cases the evil-doer acts as though he were possessed by some entity different from and hostile to his ordinary self. In fact, he is the victim of a neutral mechanism, which has got out of hand and, from being the servant of its possessor, has become his master."

See if I got the quote thing right.

And that has what to do with my kill board?

It didn't have anything to do with your killboard. I thought it clarified the confusion nicely.

Why do you think CCP should single you out to enable you to play the game as you desire? Why not me? I want to pew pew your barges all day long without CONCORD or white knights interfering.

But obviously that's not how the game works, it's a sandbox with rules and many players fighting about limited resources. You want that risk free Highsec ice? Why should you get it without effort when others invest time to control it with what tools are left to project power in Highsec.


It was people like you who closed that door for yourself and everyone else by demanding a stronger CONCORD and more safety.

It was people like you who demanded that the exploit where you close a corp and immediately reopen it is no longer regarded as an exploit so you can avoid wardecs easily.

And it is people like you who demand that there is the possibility of a wardec free NPC corp so their 10 Skiff pilots are protected by the omnipresent, all knowing and invincible CONCORD at all times.

So please cry more about how the demands of your people from the past makes bumper pilots almost invincible.


What about the --CONSEQUENCE FREE-- gathering of resources? Why should the bumper face consequences from CONCORD or CCP while the miner can mine in complete safety? How about you need to go suspect to mine ice? That would certainly make things a bit more interesting.


Most bumpers like myself will ask money from you. In my case you will also have to follow the Code. If you don't agree you may use the tools available to remove me. CCP is not one of this tools.


CCP just recently buffet a set of ships with the pure intention to give you a tool to counter bumping. But yet again here we have some unsatisfied miner who has no intention to actually do the research about how he can avoid bumps by using this new options. Not that it wasn't possible before the buff, it's just ridiculously easier now.

You know, when James 315 years ago pointed out that this constant pattern of people like you crying for CCPs help is destroying Highsec, people where laughing at him. But you are so persistent that by now probably everyone who pays just a little bit of attention has accepted how right he is. And those people fill our war chest, so thanks for your tears, they are worth billions.

Posts like this just fuel my dedication to this path in EVE and I bet I am not the only one.

CCP enables and encourages bullying in EVE online, and they can be influenced to moderate it, and have in fact moderated it in the past.

In an earlier post I suggested perhaps CCP should simply do away with hisec. What's the point? All positive from my perspective. All pilots would have access to all the PvP mechanics available in nulsec (let's just go for nulsec), and bullies would be deprived of the gratification of gratuitous griefing.

Also, there are PvP mechanics for hisec. If pilots are engaged in illegal ganking operations, that is declaration of war on CONCORD defacto, and those pilots in fleet prior to and during the gank should be red to all hisec pilots for 24 hours.

Certainly this is consistent with existing mechanics and rules, and certainly proud "PvPers" would not eschew the additional "content".

No, my friend, your argument amounts to no more than an elaborate self-justification for bullying. It has no merit.

The practitioners are what they are.
