We do it because its fun, because there are prizes, because its content, because it introduces people to emergent gameplay, because it teaches people not to autopilot pods, because it teaches, wait do i really have to keep going here?

Yea for some reason they can't understand the concept of doing something that doesn't make ISK... I think this is from staring at mining lasers for too long.

Play to have fun!

You are currently running a pod killing contest which is designed to blow things up that provide no benefit to you. It's kind of like blowing up empty ships. Players don't understand why you are doing it.


It's fun.

It's a PvP game, and shooting things is fun.

You do realize that some people are not solely motivated by profit, right?

Stop the madness... You don't play to make a profit and PLEX your accounts??? What is is this fun you speak of? Eve is PVP? You mean it's not PVNPC?

I don't find it enjoyable to have fun by hurting other people, especially highsec players who are looking to avoid PvP. I'd rather do communal PvE, or PvP in low/null where blowing things up is expected.

No one is being hurt, first of all. This is a videogame, it's nothing but pixels.

And everyone should expect blowing things up. This. Is. A. PvP. Game.

First, last and always, this is a PvP game. You should expect PvP everywhere you go if there is someone else in local.

The reaction to the CODE ganks suggest that a lot of people do get emotionally hurt by seeing their hard work go up in smoke.

Should have bought a permit, or tanked it, or scouted, or escorted, or webbed it into warp, or watched local, or watched D-scan

Unhealthy attachment to pixels is no one's problem but their own, and their psychiatrist.

Do you scream and howl and hurl vile insults when Mario falls down the bottomless pit? Do you throw over the table when you lose at Monopoly?

And they should step away from the PC too. A little bit of emotional investment adds some flavour to the experience, but getting seriously upset over the loss of something which never existed in the first place is unhealthy.

You cannot hurt any people in EVE. It is internet space pixels.

Blowing things up is expected everywhere in EVE.

Saying otherwise goes against 11 years of explicit developer intention. If *you* don't expect violence in some part of EVE, that's on you for not educating yourself about the game you choose to play.

I can't believe the madness....

I can't believe Veers actually thinks engaging in PVP in a video game is "hurting other people"... Wow I must be a serial killer for playing COD... Roll
