You are taking that economical warfare thing to whole new level, James.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Then you clearly do not know what a "sandbox" is. A sandbox has walls. It is a box. Within the box there is sand of which you may do whatever you want. In other words you have rules to follow but within those rules you can do whatever you want. That is a sandbox. EVE is a sandbox game. Yes...the rules change but that does not change the fact that it is still a sandbox. There is nothing that has changed that doesn't make sense. You are just butthurt that you can't be a pirate as easily anymore. You were making ISK at no risk beyond what you already planned for at the expense of other players that are defenseless. Now that the rules are tweaked to make things harder for you, you want to complain. It is that simple.

The carebears aren't ruining anything. They are playing the game how they want in the relative "safety" of High Sec. They happen to make the wheels of EVE turn. Without them you would be paying a lot more for your throwaway ships that you gank them with. Then your piracy would be nowhere near as profitable and you would lose out. Those miners do more for this game than you do killing ships.

Insane and ugly from start to finish. How can people work themselves up to speak this way about other human beings, fellow players?

You all do know what it sounds way, way too much like, don't you? What it reeks of? Surprising the last section wasn't entitled "A Final Solution."

You can tell the miners from the posts they make in this thread.

Congrats, I think you "don't get it" more than any other commentator in this thread (though I admit to skipping a few pages).

You're not "playing in the sandbox" if everyone else has to abide by your rules.

To take the sandbox mechanic to its fullest extent then there would be NO CONCORD and the only way that you could live out your rocks-in-space fantasy would be to actually learn how to defend yourself. True anarcho-capitalism. The exact opposite of what you think "sandbox mechanics" means.

(In a perfect world, CONCORD would only come to the rescue of low-SP players, or only in 1.0 space, so that those newest to the game could learn how to play without extreme grief. Otherwise, you'd be on your own.)

Congrats sir,

You have caused 14 pages of pubbie tears about how wrong you are. My favourite is the one that complains about how a one man corp can wardec and ruin a mining corp:



He clearly didn't read the bit about defending your miners. Some skillpoints in PvP would really help him out.

However, a request for next time, please don't sign your post.

I am also NOT a miner.

But you ARE a terrible poster.

You're not "playing in the sandbox" if everyone else has to abide by your rules.

SandBOX.

Rules are intrinsic.

And a former member of OWN Alliance, ahahahaha

what are the anti ganking nerfs that have been put into effect lately? The only real one I know of was the insurance thing but EVERY GANKER EVER says that wasnt imporant anyways
or thats what they kept saying after the change was made.

They made tier 3 BCs with battleship guns and no tank to speak of. They are in effect ganking role ships.

So what would you classify me as, hmmm?

There's also the fact that offensive dps increases have massively outstripped increases in tank for miners. T2 guns, faction ammo, artillery buffed to be alpha gods, a whole heap of different skills that can be dumped into dps increases, and not a whole lot that can increase your tank, especially passive tank.

If you constantly buff a pirate's ability to lock and kill ****, and only buff a miner's mining yield, suicide ganking is just the natural progression.

I am also NOT a miner.

By the time you finish reading this Manifesto II,

Let Highsec be safe, and make it too small to hold all players which there currently are. Safeplayers shall be safe, but without all the profit.

And give more expensive Insurances with way more payout. Makes ppl care less about being blown up, even the Jews.


btw lol @ all "qq u all carebears!"-guys with 5 bil+ in their wallet.

(In a perfect world, CONCORD would only come to the rescue of low-SP players, or only in 1.0 space, so that those newest to the game could learn how to play without extreme grief. Otherwise, you'd be on your own.)

And player subs would be measured in the hundreds, or at best thousands. Cast your eyes across the MMO genre, and try and spot any of them with similar engagement rules, and check their subscriber numbers. Only one I'm aware of that fits the bill is Mortal Online, and that game is tiny. Carebears keep CCP solvent, griefers make it unique and interesting. Extremists who want to cater only to one of these groups should not be catered to.

I didn't say anything about your posts and haven't actually read any of them. So if after reading my post you you think I'm talking about you, then you're projecting your opinions onto my post.

In that case the person who thinks you're miner, or at least posts like a miner is you.
