EVE General Discussion

It's known as implied consent.

The surrounding circumstances being that Eve is a PvP game, thus leading any reasonable person to believe that if you're logged in, you're here for some kind of PvP.

In this topic: the regular CODE foot soldiers continue to perpetuate their narrative of their "public service" while posing themselves as the driving force of risk for miners everywhere, when in reality they are just in it for the schadenfreude.

But yeah, the boost changes are cool! That's all I have to say.

I've played EVE for a few years now and mostly PVP, but when I started out, I definitely checked out mining. It was a DOA activity for me, nothing to engage me.

Contrast that to the way mining works in Elite: Dangerous. I thoroughly enjoy mining in ED, and it is actually a genuinely relaxing activity, not to mention one that leaves you with a sense of accomplishment. What Elite lacks, though, is purpose. The purpose of mining in ED is to sell minerals and metals to make money.

In EVE, the purpose is to build ships, modules, and battlestations.

Combine the mechanics of mining in ED with the purpose of mining in EVE and you might find you have a well-rounded mechanic that people can enjoy and find purpose in.

One more thing before I go. In ED, my mining ship is also capable of defending itself quite effectively, even against other players. It's a Cutter, if anyone else here plays the game, and it's quite large and fast, and can't be easily mass locked. I've successfully destroyed many assailants with it while in the process of mining, and the ones that I couldn't destroy, I've easily escaped.

Granted, Elite is more of a PVE experience, and escape is probably a little too easy. We don't need to go that far with EVE though, but I don't think barges should be as virtually defenceless as they are now. And yes, I know they can tank, but we all know even a good tank isn't exactly a deterrent to an attacker these days.

Schadenfreude ist die schönste Freude.

Old german saying

Two seconds additional seconds spent on what you read ...
... might have brought up that there is no english term for Schadenfreude ...
... and that it's being used as term even by english speakers.

Just like Kindergarten.

reading all the phrase and not stopping at the first word may had you realized it's german and not a word in an english phrase.
just saying

any your request is an order for me madam! i'll gladly turn myself in a l33t pvper

Because they choose to use the tools CCP provides us with to make the change they want to see, instead of crying in the forums waiting for CCP to change the game for them.

Welcome to EVE.

High sec miners are the lowest form of Eve player and should be reminded of that. I feel like the procurer should get a minor tank reduction, very minor.

That being said I am the proud owner of a fully researched Catalyst blueprint

You join a decent null industrial corp or mine on your other character in a WH like I do. Arkonor, Bistot and Crokite are like a steak dinner compared to the Mcdonalds of high sec. People who eat at Mcdonalds are fat, weak and ugly. Therefore we can only make conclusions about people who mine in high security space.
