Posting in a troll thread.

EDIT: I suppose I should try to be constructive. So, here we go with that constructive-ness.

It seems very strongly to me as though OP has been the victim of a bounty placement, with the bounty-placer being the member of an NPC corp. In order for him to come here and make a thread about it, he must have had zero bounty before this alleged bounty-placement occurred, thus making him extremely angry. He decided to wardec the corporation of the person who bountied him, only to find that they are in a wardec-immune NPC corp. His blood boiling and his veins now pulsing with throbbing angry rage, OP decided "NPC corps are overpowered! They shouldn't be allowed to do this! Not to me! This is wrong! This is an EXPLOIT!" and came here to post his thread about how NPC corps are equal to rancid ***** in terms of being vile and needing to be made less-rancid, according to his opinion of what is and is not desirable. However, because one cannot create a justifiable thread on the act of placing bounties alone, OP decided that he should expand upon his original idea and came up with a hastily-prepared list of other ways to shackle, lock up, tie down, chain and otherwise inhibit the sandboxy freedom of anyone who's in an NPC corp.

Another Edit, Because I am Good at Editing: Watch as the OP responds to my post, accusing me of personally attacking him (I may or may not be, I didn't pay a lot of attention to that) and proceeds to condescend to me in the most demeaning and insulting way possible.

Edit Three (Last one, I promise) : I just noticed that OP is Amarrian. Maybe his condescending to everyone who isn't him is actually in-character! If so, then that would also explain why he dismisses the lion's share of disagreement as "not wanting to discuss" and/or "personal attacks", as well as insinuating very strongly that he only wants this thread populated by posts of people who agree with him.


The bounty flag means nothing to me. I really don't care. No one is going to go out of their way to pod me for 100k or even 100mils. I also recognize the game mechanics and very rarely undock in a ship that I can't afford to lose, or would be easily killed with CONCORD knocking on the attacker's hull.

I am not angry with bounties at all. Thank you for putting words in my mouth.

The point of the post is players who have willingly opted out of interacting on the extended levels of PRCs should not be able to impact the players who have opted to.

I have not dismissed the lion's share. In fact, I have gone back and edited the original post multiple times and taken things out that I thought were poorly addressed after engaging in a mostly constructive discussion with other people in this very thread.

I never said or hinted that I only wanted people who agree with me to post their thoughts. If I did, I would just keep ranting on my teamspeak channels all night with the people who agreed with me. But, that brings up a neat little question. Is that how you do things? Only talk to people who agree with you 100% of the time? Perhaps that is why you are failing to understand the point of the discussion here.

Once again I will point out that people are using a game-mechanic that has only been around for just over two months as the poster child for their own side of things. I must ask, "why so serious about me and others suggesting bounties are being abused?" No one seems to care at all that a NPC corp cannot erect a POS. Not one of you have come into this thread and mentioned any of the other limitations regarding NPC corps. Perhaps, because there are no limitations, besides the POS point. Sorry, but I don't feel the 11% tax on bounties and mission payouts is a limitation. Since, mostly it can be avoided. Or because of the fact that it is an uneven trade-off for protection from hostility in the form of PRC wardecs.

Thank you.

If you feel that my responses are condescending, then that is your problem. Sometimes you have to just rip the band-aid off. Sometimes you have to cauterize the wound. And not everyone got trophies for last place. I am very sorry that my tone upsets you and I apologize. However, I am not going to change the way I interact with someone who is just as aggressive in their own posts. If this discussion is not to your liking, you have the Choice™ to not read it or interact with it.

You might be getting this tone from me because you ARE making accusations against me and assumptions about my gameplay that may or may not be true. Please feel free to discuss any of these issues with me through the in-game methods. But I will respectfully ask you to keep all personal discussions about me or my gamepley, regardless if they are hostile or not, to a personal level of interaction.

Thank you.
