EVE General Discussion

Wonder if CFC caught up to there being moneys in suppressing SOE LP and using their sanctuary control as grunt level isk printer :)

We do not even have to go there for the ganks....first the grind LP's for months...then they purchase shiny ships...and Jump them into low sec...

It's as if someone was holding a gun to your head and telling you to buy those meta 6+ modules to fit to your ship.

You will hear from my lawyer soon, because I literally fell out of my chair at that one. I wonder if the court will accept that "laughing my ass off" equates to emotional distress?

Another thing in that equation is probably the Micro Jump Drive and lately the Bastion module that made it possible to run most missions with almost no tank.

All the linked kill mails from ganks that I saw had one thing in common: no plate (yes, it were only armor ships for some reason).

I see the prospect of "profit" in suicide ganking has come up, and by the usual suspects.

Let this sink in: Suicide ganking wasn't designed to be profitable

That's not me saying that. That's not some carebear saying that. That's not some highsec CSM saying that. Look at the flag next to the post.


If you want to gank ships "just because" then you are taking the sandbox into the realm of being all about bonking kids with the pale and shovel and less about sand, and that threatens the sandbox. The people screaming "sandbox" now will be screaming nerf later if CCP (mommy) has to intervene and put further control on the pale and shovel. You want 1 minute invulnerability on undock or ships being randomly deposited cloaked outside of stations like at a gate? Keep up the "ganking just for tears" thing.

You see if you want "real world" jollies projected into a game (like ganking for no reason when would have been outside instead keying new cars), and in that real world there's profit to be concerned about, real world people are going to be forced to intervene somehow and nobody is going to be thrilled about it.

Eve, the game of freaks, control issues, narcissistic personality disorder, believe what I believe or.......

Sounds like religion.

Must have had his head flushed in school.

That would be because the most common nullsec system type has 4 respawning hubs good for 2 - 3 people if and only if 2 freighter runs and 2 jump freighter runs are done for it, and multiple people farm it daily to keep the index up (and its not changing hands etc), and even the -best- nullsec system has only 20 good respawning anomolies in it (at most good for about 15 people).

Where as a level 4 agent hub will keep 120 players busy in system with hub value encounters +another 40 in each surrounding system (possibly higher if its a long pipe).

In any case, what on earth makes you think people don't go to any nullsec farming system to attack players ? Intel channel is basically lit up 24x7 with reds entering the best truesec systems in Vale looking for kills, and there is no inclination amongst them to limit themselves to destroyers either.

just don't get it, aint the reason people are in high sec, because they not like PvP?.
forcing them into PvP content, makes a unhappy customer, and guess what those do one day?

stats will show, sooner or later, but keep in mind each lost customer is a lost profit need for new content.

If they don't like PvP there's thousands of other games out there to play. Highsec is not, never has been, and never should be a PvP free zone, its safety is relative when compared to the other areas of space. People are in highsec because that's where the industrial backbone, markets, and easy money is.

Imagine highsec as a walled city during the 30 Year War, relatively safe when compared to what lay outside those walls. The barbarians were still knocking at the gates, sometimes they got through and razed the place to the ground.
