Crime & Punishment

OP, honestly, posting this anywhere on the EVE forums is a total waste of your time. You will almost never find anyone bothering to post support for your point of view because the vast majority of regular posters on these forums would do exactly the same as drdready.

EVEs rules allow it therefore you are in the wrong for not welcoming this behaviour with open arms..... that and near limitless insults about your manhood are all you will find here.

For all EVE is a sandbox which is supposed to allow people to play in whatever way they choose to, there is no area of that box that allows people who choose not to take part in this kind of behaviour themselves to not be vulnerable to it.

Part of the game.

This guy was trying to bait you into reacting. Well done for not shooting at him, but you blew that success away by posting a complaint about the incident.

You dont have to like it, but do yourself a favour and dont bother voicing an objection on these forums, the majority of the posters will ridicule you or argue with you about it just for the sake of doing so.

I am so, so, so upset and had to cry. Mummy cuddled me because I just didn't understand why Lord Nikkon was sooooooo mean to me.......... mummy told me it is just a game and that I should just put my hurt away in nikkon's ass

I wonder what Chribba thinks about this.

Last time I tried this, all of the ships I destroyed dropped yellow wrecks and loot.

So in some sense they are the mission runners no matter who shoots them. Didn't stop me stealing the contents though.

Look out guys, we've got a space knight over here!

It's Crime and Punishment, not 'complain about game mechanics'. The OP was upset because someone used the game mechanics to mess with what they thought the game was, thus challenging their view of the game. I'm no fan of ninja-salvaging or, in this case, ninja-missioning, but it happens because in a game like this, where you can decide how you want to play it, there will always be those who enjoy messing with others, just like there are always those who act within the confines of the law in real life, but try to get a rise out of others to cause them to break the law. (Wow, love run-on sentences )

You are correct at a point, though. In Eve, you cannot expect honor, respect, or 'fair'. You've got to work for it. Become well known as someone who teaches others how to understand the aspects of the game via trials by fire, and you'll be honored (maybe not immediately, but eventually). Corner the market on materials others often need like POS fuel, especially during an Ice Interdiction, and you'll be respected. But never expect fairness, because nothing, not even real life, is fair.

I just wanna say,,,, something.

Psst, you quoted me as the guy I quoted :P . Fixed:

You could be a Flying Nun!

ooops, fixed the original

There is a PvP free zone, it's called the test server, no PvP does come at a cost though, no access to the TQ market, no transfers of isk, periodic resets and the builds are, by the nature of the server, tests.

Most of the no PvP in highsec brigade want the best of both worlds, access to a very dynamic, player driven, unregulated market, without the risk.
