Crime & Punishment

Hey,

I finally decided to rejoin the EVE community after a year hiatus, the idea of bombing people from space in dust was pretty appealing. So my friend and I reactivated our accounts and with the 3 billion or so isk we had we had I went and bought 2 plex in jita. I used one myself and undocked to deliver the other one to my friend. Probably some of you are already snickering. I was instantly popped upon leaving the station before even having time to react. I'm not here to qq, I believe that games are just code which set rules on play, players will exploit the code for the most gain possible. However, the game seems to be, if anything, more slanted toward griefing then ever. I don't remember being instapoped very often in jita. Unfair pvp matches aren't really enjoyable experiences, when you lose because the load screen takes too long and you can't align because some big ass tug boat is bumping you, you don't think to yourself 'man, I ****** up' you think, 'the mechanics in this game suck.' Needless to say, we decided to just let his time for plex timer expire and go play starcraft.

So with that, I bid you ado. Perhaps in another few years I'll try again, good luck and fly safe.

1 point for I read the whole thing to confirm if a troll or not

If not troll/fake. GTFO idiot

You can remote active plex. Your argument is invalid. Also if you truly don't know, he got popped after he hit warp, otherwise he had his invuln timer up and could have redocked at the sight of say.....several tornados on the undock. You have valuable seconds to instantly redock in Jita should you not like what you see. Learn game mechanics, or quit EVE. Refer to the age of learning curve chart.

At least I can spell poster for an "idiot"

Touche good sir, I tip my hat to thee.

But seriously, anyone trying to transport plex in this game has severe mental issues. Move character to sale system, redeem plex, sell on market. Remote buy plex, remote activate. No risk. Anything else is just easy money

So you read the whole thing to confirm if troll or not, but still couldn't figure it out in the end.

Not trying to troll, I had no idea you could remote activate plex. That probably would have helped. Clearly i'm a noob, but you don't need to get up in arms about it. I didn't suggest any changes to the game, I didn't say this was imbalanced. I just said that I personally don't like the game mechanics, because I felt that in this case avoiding death was impossible.

Suffice to say you were wrong. You could have easily avoided this with a basic knowledge of the game mechanics.

If you give in and go back to WoW or Starcraft, that's fine. But I'd recommend you spend some time learning how this game works and enjoy a much richer gaming experience in the long-run.

And remember, it's ok to do stupid stuff - like the above! Just make sure you learn from every stupid mistake you make.

You weren't in Jita:

Also the PLEX dropped. Nice!

You do realize the "boomerang" threat didn't exist until recently, when Tier 3 BCs made such tactics possible? And even discounting the gankage love that is the Tier 3s, you still have some significant boosts to Thrashers and other destroyers.

I'd say CCP is opening the door to a lot more griefing possibilities, and are just trying to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Making sure a single Tornado and an Orca alt can't single-handedly gank a freighter in high sec does not mean CCP is making things safer.

They could before, now they can't. CCP has made highsec safer.
