HKO? Is that the game where people don't equip themselves to survive the big,bad people outside of their house when they go to mine for minerals and expect the developers to save them?

Lol next time we have a patch that knocks Eve out for a few hours I think we, as a group, should go and introduce the HKO players to the dark side of MMO's

I suppose you're right the saccharin fluffiness might rub off on us.

This thread makes me miss all of the mining suicide gank threads. Too bad there weren't like 30 hulks in the cargo too, then we could have the best of both worlds.

I'm all for it. Let's take Fera as well. She could give us valuable pointers and be the tank for our HKO exploits. |

Never have I seen a generalization fail to cover so much.

A killmail is a kill as well as a loss. A big poker hand is a gain for someone as well as being a loss for someone else. Are you suggesting the poker company shouldn't advertise a big win because it meant someone lost big?
In competitive games when someone wins, someone else loses. |

Could you please provide solid evidence to backup your claim that suicide gankers are disposable alts?

EglantinFinfleur wrote:A long time ago, CCP was pandering to BoB, blueprint scandal, spawns and all that jazz. They thought it was cool to have a big powerful entity polarizing hatred and resentment in New Eden, and in a way, it was. Then BoB got bored, began to lose its coherence, got bored, and passed the torch to GoonFleet, spinning with the help of CCP a nice little tale of deceit and betrayal -do you really believe that "BoB director joined goons on an alt then gave passwords to BoB's infrastructure to the goons"?
Goons being what they are, overweight westerners with a fetish for fringe subcultures and online entertainment, a failing self-esteem that has to be boosted by mocking others, and lonely people seeking warmth amongst the same, they perfectly fitted the role that BoB had, the new scapegoat and hated entity of New Eden.
However, it meant that CCP had to pander to them. When they had to suck up to BoB, it only meant that they had to conform to the idea of alcoholic online tough guy armchair tacticians. With Goons now in charge of the big bad guy role, the paradigm switched to alcoholic cynical scammers lolsorandum griefing and use of a game not as a end in itself (rpg means roleplaying a person), but as a means to get cheap kicks out of total strangers, which is not roleplaying at all, but working out real life frustrations through trying hard to make random dudes miserable.
It's then very fitting that CCP does what you reported on Facebook.
It should also be noted that the vast majority of MMOs devs understood a long time ago that frustration is what drives players, much more than fun. Frustration you feel, or you inflict on others. CCP breeds it like a fragile orchid in New Eden.
There are three kinds of people playing EvE now: - Online sadists, unable to act their sociopathy IRL, or afraid of consequences - Masochists, seeking a kind of punishment they cannot directly retaliate against - Gamers loving sandbox sci-fi games and waiting for a new one where devs will actually take measures so it stays a game, and people don't go to the toilet in the sandbox.
I hope Dust goes down the drain and WoD is a terrible failure. CCP used to have a great vision, and they've let themselves become cynical lardy alcoholics thinking it's way cool to be an online sociopath and pander to people who use games not to have fun, but work out their frustrations without fear of consequences.
It's hard to deny some truth in this, game direction is way out of the line traced in the early years. Is it bad? In some way i think so but only time will tell. |

Might I interest you in lowsec? If you haven't heard of it it's roughly all of the space that isn't high sec or 0.0 , I'd have to check but there seems to be a fair amount of systems that qualify. SLAPD - Star Scientist, I science stars |

A KM gives it providence". Question is - Do any other organisations use the misfortune of the clients *without client approval" to advertise their products?
So Blizzard shouldn't advertise world first boss kills because it might hurt the feelings of the guild who came second? Activision shouldn't advertise the fact you can kill people in CoD because that means someone else is getting killed and they might not like that? Grow up. Yeep. I bow to your ignorance and I chuckle at your non argument. There are some that you can have a reasonable debate, sadly your not one of them. Let me know when you have finished school. But I pity you so I will help. Let me try and explain. Lets assume your a client of a on line gaming company. You put all your money on an unsuited 2/4 hand in poker, sadly your attempt to bluff fails and you lose all your money.

This is a terrible terrible argument. Anyone making a big win in poker is screwing over the other players, thats the whole point. Posting the killmail is no different from saying player x won $200k on this table. If its in a tourney play it will usually have a result which lets you see the players who lost as well. And really putting 22 bil in a freighter it takes less than 1 bil is a worse call thgan a poker hand where you can actually bluff.

Er, they mean constantly biomassing your alt to get around the standing system. That is not allowed. Making an alt that only suicide ganks however is perfectly acceptable. |

Wormhole space?
But I guess, compared to rolling around in a smartbombing Tristan, those fights must be boring
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=12371284
so you choose hisec because:
- soft targets that don't shoot back - risk-free pvp - neutral alts in said T2 ships - CONCORD protection

Can someone please provide me with the link to the rule which prohibits posting kill reports on the forums? I am unable to find it. If it does not exist then the entire OP post is flawed. |
