You, sir, are wrong. On pretty much every count. There are plenty of options that will actually work, none of yours will... except for maybe the militia thing, I don't know about that. Shoo.

Nope. I don't gank. However, if you can get past the propaganda and other chaff you'll find that a great many of these 'hidden criminals' actually offer some pretty good advice on how to not become their victims in various bits of the forums.
Do a little digging, you'll find it.
The presumption that they are latently bad people IRL because they choose to play the role of a villain in a game that specifically advertises being the bad guy as one of it's major selling points is pretty far off the mark though. Yes, there are likely certain individuals for which this is true. A sweeping generalization that this is true of all of them as a result of that is just plain badthink.

Duke Morgan-Elite wrote:If you want to know why they do it, you need to understand mentality behind their actions. They do it because they can not have such behaviour IRL, since they'll get busted for it. Games are amplifiers of peoples behaviours, and if a person is an arshole IRL, he will be an arshole x10 and up in games. Why CCP do allow it in high sec is perhaps because they fell through to the whines of these asshats, how there is nothing to do in high sec, (insert tears amount) while they afraid to go anything below +5 themselves. So as you can see, from their behaviour in game you can find that they are hidden criminals IRL but afraid of the punishment and so they carry over that fear into game by not travelling and doing stuff in anything lower than +5 since they afraid of punishment. However now, militia is punishing these type of people in high sec too. http://highsecmilitia.blogspot.co.uk/ So you have few options available, stop playing this game, take CCP to court, or join militia and have a laugh at these "gankers" type of people. Or you can not demonize and denigrate other players of this video game, and deal with the content that is highsec criminals that CCP has built into the game on purpose like an adult. You can fight the villains if you'd like, but leave the childish arm-chair psychology and personal attacks out of it.
Posts like this are better recruitment advertisements for ganker organizations than anything else. They put the ugly, toxic and bitter mindset of much of the anti-gankers on display for the world to see.
Oh, and definitely don't take CCP to court - that seems like a poor use of your free time and I am unclear why this poster suggested it.

Because high level elite players think this game should be played a certain way?
It's an open world, with many layers to it, with many ways to play. It's the reason I started playing.
Pissing off new players who are trying to farm isk only discourages them. It discourages them from paying $15 a month.
That only hurts the game, CCP loses money. If you like the game, don't troll people because you THINK the game should be played a certain way.
I lost 2 Retrievers in two days, would have lost more but I just stop mining when my assailant logs on. It's a real pain to be on edge when I'm mining trying to relax in real life, and I get trolled by some virtual gang who thinks their way of playing the game is the only way.
We're all grown ups, there's no need to be bullies.
But what do I know, I'm just a noob to this game...I'm also a hardcore PC gamer, and I have options where I can spend my money. I'd like to spend it on this game, but won't if I keep getting trolled. I'm one guy, one guy who's out spoken, and I promise my thoughts are shared by other players.
As also being a fellow PC gamer, you of all people should damn well know that there will always be fellow players that will take advantage of game mechanics. Then again, repeating the same actions and expecting different results is the definition of insanity to some. The more successful players learn how to cope with a situation. You could try moving into mining ship that is not a freakin' eggshell with an engine or join up with a mining fleet if somebody is specifically targeting you. Even better, join a corp/alliance and go mine out in null sec or wormhole space. Sometimes those places are safer than high sec if you're in with the right crowd.
Oh, and crying that this game is hard doesn't get you points on the forums. It will get you trolled and makes you sound like you've spend to much time playing World of "Wuss-craft" from Blizzard/Activision. No 4 button combo for the win here. |

No need to 'defend' behavior that is within the rules of Eve. What is less easy to defend is those who get ganked despite having all the same tools as the gankers, and many ways to avoid the gank.

May be you can inform us on why you do this? Since you have not yet contributed to the post itself. I am not sure why this matters since playing as a criminal is legal, expected gameplay, but I will tell you.
CCP has designed a beautiful, complex sandbox game where the role of the "bad guys" is intended to be taken by other players. These villains are the criminals, scammers, pirates and so forth which have been explicitly coded into the game. Now, if no players took up that challenge, Eve would be a pretty boring game - people just grinding resources and making stuff that would have no value as nothing would get destroyed.
So, I take much satisfaction in acting as an agent of risk in this game. The risk my criminal actions pose I realize are minor in the grand scheme of things, but do provide some pressure on other players to take precautions and not completely put all their optimizations into maximizing yield, and prevents them from completely going AFK. Important for you to understand is these reasons are the exact reasons why CCP has made criminals able to operate at all. The risk we present makes for a more interesting game for everyone, and that is what keeps me logging in.
The best kill for me is the one that hurts the target the most. Eve is a competitive, single-universe sandbox and thus meaningless, consensual 1v1 or drunken roams have little interest for me. Blowing up a ship that the other person has already written off might provide a momentary diversion, but has no consequence on the greater universe of New Eden. The best kills are the ones that affect the target the most, are the most costly, and the most unexpected - the stronger and richer the target the better. Blowing up fat, entitled carebears is endlessly entertaining, and each one is a win in my quest to gather resources and power in the sandbox.
But whether it is an overloaded freighter laden with riches that was AFKing, or just some dude in an untanked Retriever mining while they watch Netflix on another screen, players all over highsec need to be regularly reminded that highsec is not safesec. They are intended by the game designers to protect their stuff and when a player does just that and avoids or even stops my gank I give them a 'gf' in local or at least a mental nod to their success in foiling or preventing my attack. Sure I'll ask targets and victims to buy a permit, but that is part of my role as a villain who is part of an organization that claims highsec. Villains are there to drive conflict and to fight against, and I have nothing but respect for my fellow gamers who choose to do so.
Who I do not respect are those that choose to hurl vile, personal insults at me, call me mentally ill (as you have), or threaten my family with death or harm. This is a video game and I am playing it within not only the rules, but in accordance with the intentions of the game designers. You have no right to personally attack me, the person behind the keyboard for playing a video game because you are unable to separate fantasy from reality, or recognize the difference between a video game villain and a mentally ill person in real life.
You should take a good, long look at yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself if this demonization and name-calling behaviour would be appropriate anywhere else in your real life. |

Duke Morgan-Elite wrote:sociopathic self-entitlement drivel
Welcome to EVE. The ads for this game say 'Be The Villain!' and make a lot of fuss about getting revenge on people that blow up your Merlin.
The devs for this game have made it abundantly clear the game is a sandbox, and human nature being what it is, the sand gets kicked over quite a bit. See the CCP musical group Permaband for more examples. Youtube is your friend.
Since this game apparently seems to be too adult for you, in that Bad Things Happen To Internet Spaceships, with or without the owners consent, I recommend you to Star Trek Online, where PVP does not exist. You may also want to look at Elite Dangerous, which while being very similar to EVE in many ways.....on the OPEN (multiplayer) server........also gives you the option of playing in single-player mode or even lets you set up a private server for just you and your friends.
Then there is Star Citizen.
I'd check back on that in another 10 years or so.
So, in closing, we bid you a fond farewell, and, as always, remember to give me all your stuff. I promise it will be used for the betterment of Space Pirate Hamsters everywhere, not just hi sec.
Adios, arrivederchi, bon voyage, etc, etc, goodbye.
It wasn't us....it was you.
*sniffs*
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

No you don't, and unless you're a qualified psychologist, you won't be able to. What you can understand is the motives, and that understanding comes with learning how EVE works, and what it is. Everything else you say is salty posturing, little more than a sad attempt to 'other' people that don't play the way you want them to.

Spend a little time in AG channels and reading how miners react to their pixels exploding. Then you'll see who it is truly spot on the mark as far as what groups have a high number of people with IRL sociopathic tendencies. :)

Touche, but I used "unwarranted" in the sense that this poor sap is not representative of the Center's average member, who most certainly would not cry about pvp in Eve~ As my own combat history would happily attest to |

For the OP and any other lazy miners who need their hands holding while shooting defenceless rocks the way to avoid ganks is simple. Buy a procurer and fit it for tank instead of trying to maximise your 1 click per hour Isk farming. |

Some good advice being shared here. I feel the warmth and love flowing into me. The nastiness just bounces off.
I've figured out a good way to avoid being ganked by them for now, while I work on my combat. I'll keep playing the game.
It's funny, posting here as opened my eyes to the wider scope of the game and how people play it. You have to admit, it's a lot to take in all at once. My first reaction was to wine and complain, now that reality has sunk in, I see the other paths I can take.
Now when I see another miner, I check their info, about 80% have their CODE mining permits.
I consider myself a fighter, and a thinker, looking forward to fighting back as well as learning how to play the game better. |

We call it "Skillqueue Online" or "shipspinning". It's really the only way, other than holding a valid Permit, to avoid having the Law of Highsec enforced upon you.

Oh God I hate skiffs. Many of my lonely interceptors have died to those tanky bastards. The bait is just too tempting.
But back on topic, Good luck on the white knighting. This is Eve. Feel free to attempt to steal their stuff, gank their ships ( most are -10 so can be shot at by anyone, anywhere ) disrupt their ops, sow discord and whatever else you can think of ( rules permitted ). Get creative. Who knows? You might actually come up with something new. |

you are right; no one has any right to insult anyone, but when coders or gankers do it in abundance in local they are setting the precedence for things to come for them and their alliance mates. What goes around comes around in some way shape or form (even if not in the same magnitude or scale)
Many a times i have been target of coders verbal attacks on local but i just ignore them as 100% of them are on an ego high (cuz of superior #s) and now quite a few are blocked lol. Also, when you coders and code sympathizers are behind a keyboard you sure show a big lack of respect to your fellow gamers just because its 'online' and the typical 'cannot be compared to RL, yo!' LOL. But you expect no lash back or push back and everyone to be amicable and kind to you.
one good example that comes to mind: erotica1 that your code messiah is friends with and the code alliance wants reinstated goes after some one with a speech impediment with his buddies outside of the game and then comes back on the forums and posts his 'fun' with a victim who has a speech impediment; this is not disturbing in your eyes? Glad that CCP stepped in and drew the line.
Taking pleasure out of cyber bullying a person with a speech impediment is already bad enough and then the alliance you align yourself with or represent or look up to in game has quite a few members asking for his reinstatement and now one has to seriously wonder if people in this alliance are actually mentally stable or vice versa.
But it all just 'online' correct? lol
