EVE General Discussion

One guy in a badly fit barge shrieking at the top of his lungs and providing tears - Clearly not a bot - Gets ganked.

A fleet of procurers controlled by bots or isboxer mining all day long providing no tears - no ganking.

- Missions: Officer and blue fittings are not suitable for missions. They may be appropriate in fleet based stuff like Incursions but even there they aren't needed. A Blue fit Golem is gank bait and garbage you won't replace when you lose it, you will figure out why when you lose it.

- Hauling: Pay attention to what you are hauling, know that a blockade runner can't be scanned, know that people flapping about how they blow up all Blockade runners because stuff, are full of it. If you need to haul in a Freighter, have a web alt and most important, don't Auto pilot.

- Mining: Plag and Veld are the ore that make money right now. Mining them in .8 or .5 will be just as boring and will make the same amount of ISK. One has a 20 second Concord response, one has a 7 second Concord response. You have amplified the dps output of a gank squad by 300% just by choosing to mine in what is essentially, garbage space. Tank is not an option, even in .8 sec. If the tank forces them to find 40 Destroyers or 10 Tier 3 BC's to destroy you they will give up. Gankers are lazy that way. If they wanted to work for their ISK they would be mining beside you or running a mission.

Last but not least, if you find yourself being pestered by people all too often, leave the game drop your sub and play something else. EVE the game you would like it to be won't be EVE the game we get stuck with because someone else is in a mood. That needs to be relayed in the most influential way possible when required and money talks.

Bot aspirancy is equally as much an affront against the sandbox. Moreso, I would argue, since they are the ones crying for nerfs all the time.

Really? Because they smartbombed a fleet of those just the other day. Got a whole bunch of them, although the freighter lived.

But then I wouldn't expect you would have known that, since you argue on rhetoric and not facts.

The ISBOXER guy isn't afk (and it doesn't matter if you don't like isboxer) so he isn't doing anything 'wrong' (from a CODE perspective).

We get it, you don't like CODE, but as usual your dislike of something clouds your judgment, which is a shame because otherwise you'd be one of the smarter posters.

You disagree with our stated views, therefore your judgement is clouded, therefore you are wrong.

Sounds like you and the highsec crowds response to the basic statistics I did showing that highsec reward was higher than nullsec reward.

Don't know about the "hisec crowd," but I despise "you're wrong, stop posting" type responses with a passion. I may disagree with a viewpoint, but I usually try to bring up supporting evidence for my position.

In the case of the null/hisec reward debate, I believe my position was: "if nullsec is so sh*t, and hisec so great, why the f*ck are 30,000 people paying the null blocs billions upon billions a month for the privilege of living in null."

A far cry from Jen's "You disagree with us, you must dislike X, therefore you're judgement is clouded and you are wrong."

But they aren't bot aspirant.

Righto. So, now permits are badges of shame. I swear, some people..

Show me on the freighter doll where the catalyst shots wrecked it.

It's not useless.

So it gets revoked.

'El-ahrairah, your people cannont rule the world, for I will not have it so. All the world will be your enemy, Prince With A Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.'

Do you know what the word "aspirant" actually means? I'll give you a clue, it doesn't mean "have one single element of your playstyle remotely in common with another". You could argue all miners are bot aspirant because they use mining barges, just like some bots. All traders are bot aspirant because the update orders, just like some bots. All players are bot aspirant because they log in, just like bots.

And no, you certainly don;t have to justify anything. It's completely understandable why they target who they do, it's simply not in line with what they claim is the problem with highsec, since their actions are more likely to make botters and "bot aspirants" more effective, not less, while punishing a player who is just playing the game.
