It's a blue goatse not a donut so what does that make you?


You got me....how much would it cost me for you to get me into Goonwaffe with all the other superstars? 350 mil?


That's a pretty penny ante offer considering how you puff yourself up about how badass you are at Incursions.


Supply and Demand bro. Just cuz u r rich no mean ya gotta pay moah.


You're not in demand at all so I have no idea what you're trying to get at.

Maybe he sells fertilizer in real life and got real life and this video game confused? He seems to do that a lot.

Hmm, I guess I could gank a miner, to get a shot at ganking their pod. That would be the appeal of it to me. I like ganking pods.

Well now that your group has decided to divert its efforts to ganking freighters the recruitment efforts may have died down, but I received multiple recruitment offers from members of your corp at a variety of price points. Perhaps you just don't rate enough to be in the know.

It's the only thing I can figure too... I gate gank for the ISK. I don't see the draw in taking a loss for a miner gank.

Use a catalyst it's really easy and satisfying. If you have a salvaging alt you might get t2 salvage from it too, so that can make it profitable.

Tell that to the people who sell mining ships and modules, they definitely receive an economic benefit. Eve is a world where cut throat business practices are exactly that.

The people who're displaying sociopathic tendencies are the ones who make real life threats over the loss of their internet spaceship pixels. Threatening to hunt someone down in real life, kill, disfigure, sexually assault or otherwise wishing real life misfortune upon their mothers, spouses, children or pets because your internet spaceship got blown up is not normal behaviour, it's downright abhorrent and is totally unacceptable.


Still if you read this thread, most gankers do it only to cause butthurt in the mining players. At least they are honest and open about it.

You have no proof of that and cannot produce any either.

There was once a time when a thread of this topic headline would have been into at least 40 pages by now. Even the trolls are bored.

Tears and the ability to be a d!ck w/o repercussions.

People are able to act out in ways they can't in RL. Despite common misinformation, most players will play the game how they really want to be and usually mirrors their true personality and mental state... support, industrious, hunter, or just pure douchebag. Many good people play the game, but there are also many soulless and truly evil people. (Erotica1 for example)

All in all.. It's about d!cks getting to be d!cks and having laughs at your expense (and theirs).

Butthurt is all the citation they'll ever need.

That's kind of the point of playing games, especially RPGs, of which Eve is one Roll

Bollocks, that's a huge great steaming pile of manure.

Is that your professional opinion? Or are you yet another person who has problems with telling the difference between reality and fantasy? What Erotica did was distasteful, not evil.

Is it possible to be both soulless and truly evil? I've never met the prereqs to inject Infomorph Philosophy so I'm a bit lost in this thread.

RP: It can be as straight forward as

: What would you do in this situation ?

Or simple as

: My character is going to do this because it entertains me.

Or slightly more complicated
