Instead of picking on people in highsec who can't fight back and don't want to PVP?

I mean, the mining barges, PVE fit ships, etc that get blown up in low/null/wh space aren't anywhere as near as weak and defenseless as the mining barges and PVE ships in highsec, and they totally wanted me to drop a sb gang on them and kill their ship and pod, so it's ok if I gank them in low/null/wh space, but in highsec? Wow thats just griefing basically!


In case you didn't get it, sarcasm. I'm saying this "go to low/null/wh to pvp" line is stupid.

the whole "lowsec/null are for PvP, hisec isn't" mentality is driven by CCP's coddling of the worst players in the game

until that coddling ends and they are less sheltered from the realities of eve that mentality will continue to be prevalent

When the targets who have far too much isk on their ships and no tank fitted go into low sec we will follow.

Are you kidding? I've already packed my Orca full of T2 BPO's, Drugs, Midgets, and Justin Bieber posters and I'm ready to go. I'll be departing Farpoint Station at 3pm Turkmenistan time to head to 0.0 space.

Unfortunately the worst of the bears will complain about this attitude, without realising that it is the EXACT same attitude they have themselves: Maximising what you get out of your preferred playstyle. For them and their low-risk playstyle, they achieve it by mining in highsec with blinged out ships, for you and the "explode expensive ships" playstyle, targeting them is a way to achieve that

Why would they go down to the roughest corner in town and pick on the tough guys in leather jackets that may have knives and fight back when they can go-round behind the elementary school and kick sand in kids faces and take their lunch money just to laugh at them while they cry?

I like the part where you just repeat the exact fallacy my post was mocking.

My point, my dear sweet bear, is that a lot of people who get blown up in low, null and wh space aren't "tough guys in leather jackets that may have knives and fight back". A lot of the people who die in low, null and wh space are EXACTLY as weak and helpless as your sorry little highsec bear ass. Except you don't have a problem with them being on the side of "unfair" and unwanted PVP.

Silly bear.

Well you see, there's this thing called 'Risk vs Reward' that these gankers and activists like to point out in high sec. They pretend they're educating carebears and force them to see that high sec is not safe and that there is risk in EVE. What's really happening is that they are risk adverse themselves and look for the easy and guaranteed kills while rationalizing their actions in a way that seems important.

But yes, high sec does have risks. Gankers and war decs are part of it so get used to it. Low and Null have a purpose but restricting pvp to just those 2 spots is silly.

Because players in low/null/sov/wh will shoot back. Hell, they're more likely to shoot first. Gankers want easy peasy, not malis from Pend Insurance.
