As far as your analogy - if the same people kept intentionally going onto the sidewalk and hitting people with cars I would send them for extended jail sentences instead of blaming the victims.


...no...you are proposing the same thing as banning cars from the road because people walked into traffic without looking both ways.

The game is...."working as intended" (TM)

I will gladly give you 100 mil/month to stop posting on the forums, Veers.


Right, because quietly mining in a belt and being killed by gankers who intentionally come over and kill you is the exact same thing as walking in the middle of the road. Shocked

And as compelling as your 100 mil a month is....I'll pass

I rarely agree with Petre but it is an apt analogy.

Yes, the brilliant new analogy is now that mining in highsec is the same thing as walking in the middle of the street without looking.

I mean this is just crazy talk.

It's perfectly logical.
The person has a role, it is to walk across the street.
The car has a role, it is to drive down the street.
If the person walks across the street without looking and gets hit by the car, is it the car's fault?

The miner has a role, it is to mine with the understanding this is a PVP game and undocking means you can be engaged at anytime.
The ganker has a role, it is to kill miners.
If the ganker kills the miner, is it the ganker's fault?

No, in both situations, the latter is properly filling their role while the former is not.

Mining AFK is not paying attention while doing something.

Walking into the street without looking is the same thing

In Happy Funtime land maybe, not in Eve.

Precisely, there are thugs in the park, and I still don't pay attention. The expectation is that the police handle these matters and protect the public.

Confirming if you are sitting on a bench in the park and a thug approaches you, you should not run away, you should wait for the police to come. Roll

Confirming that the same thug who has stolen 795 wallets through armed robbery in the last week and been arrested each time for it is still there to come up to you because the punishment consists of a 15 main detention and no restitution of property.
