No wonder CCP thinks that "what goonswarm wants" is the same as "what the player-base wants": the only players left on EVE are either goonswarm members, or newbies. All the old players have given up in disgust after loosing 2 plexes worth of ship, fittings and implants to a single ganker in a 7 mil (fully reimbursed) ship

[quote=Blade Ripley]I WANT to play eve, and I WANT to enjoy the experience, but there are too many people that think eve MUST be PvP, 24/7, in EVERY system.

why must people actually move PLEXs? unless you're a trader and trying to move them for sale on the open market, there is NO REASON to move the PLEX... at all. you can APPLY THEM FROM ANYWHERE IN THE GAME through your Assets interface. with the Contracts feature, unless you are buying/selling on the Open Market, there is NO REASON TO MOVE A PLEX...

stupid people...

lol what

While the OP is missing the whole point of the game and probably could be filed under "stupid", I must point out that your reading comprehension is lacking. The OP didn't say someone lost 2 plex in a ship. He/she said 2 plex worth of ships, meaning around 800 mil or whatever the hell plex goes for these days.

Just sayin.

OP went poof.

John Schlong cannot be found.

There is currently no character profile with the name John Schlong

Crap, Crap and more Crap....

Why is it so hard for you risk adverse people to understand that the entire game's economy is linked? Allowing people to farm isk in total safety is bad. There needs to be loss for there to be a healthy economy. If everyone has monstrous stacks of isk, that isk loses value. If everyone has two Mach's in their hanger then what value does a Mach have? If people are so risk adverse they refuse to leave high sec, I salute those that bring the risk to them. I do wish gankers would start going after mission boats and leave hulks alone. Killing hulks just gives Goons isk, considering most of the cost of a Hulk is tech.

Then this is the wrong game for them, and the kindest thing to do is to tell them to unsub and find something else to do.

a capsuleer that suicides his crew too often needs to find it difficult to get more.

Why is it wrong for them and not you? We all pay for this game in some way, why should we be beholden to your demand that we not be able to enjoy it as well?

your ship isn't controlled by a crew, it's controlled by the capsuleer inside the pod. There's a chronicle about it.

if goonswarm is only 2.5% of the player base, then why does CCP call "Burn Jita" a "playerbase-driven event"

Is CCP saying, "we are going to do whatever the loudest 2% tell us to do?"

This sounds a lot like the 1%-ers in the real world telling the other 99% what to do. But unlike the real world, CCP really does have god-like powers, they could easily give concord ships insta-warp ability and stop highsec ganking in an instant, but they choose not to, because they think it's what the players want.

Do you know which chronicle in particular? I'd like to read it.

Its wrong for them because they want to change the game to suit them.

I'm sure someone is going to call me a newbie whiner that should go back to WoW for posting this, but here goes.

EVE online puts a HUGE emphasis on joining a corp and interacting with others, yet my 2 months of experience playing the game and reading the forums have shown me that this game is mostly comprised of unfriendly bigoted people who would rather insult you or pod you than actually be nice to you.

It really comes down to this, do you want eve to grow and add more players? or do you want eve to belong to goonswarm? you can't have both. Unless people stand up and say "the goons do not represent me", this is going to turn into GooN Online instead of EvE Online. All the easy care-bear targets will be gone, and the only players left will be PvPers (just like lowsec/nullsec is now)

By invading highsec, goonswarm destroys highsec. I'm sure the "goal" (if there was one) was to drive more players to lowsec, but they really just drove highsec players off the game entirely

I now look forward to the 4 pages of goonswarm members insulting me and the week of random people following me around in-game stealing my loot and ganking me, just for speaking my mind.

Took me awhile to find. It's a short story instead of a chronicle. I find it ironic that the short stories are longer... I hope you like reading.

um... hate to break it to you, but there is still crew on your ship. Just much less for a pod pilot. I've got a copy of EON with the title in big bold caps "EVE SHIPS HAVE CREW?"

i get it confuses people, but that doesn't make it not true

According to CCP, your standard suicide ganking ship (A destroyer) only has the capsuleer inside the pod controlling the ship. Larger ships have a small amount of crew.

EVE online puts a HUGE emphasis on joining a corp and interacting with others, yet my 2 months of experience playing the game and reading the forums have shown me that this game is mostly comprised of unfriendly bigoted people who would rather insult you or pod you than actually be nice to you.

And your average hi-sec level 4 mission runner murders a couple of million NPC crew every night.

Is it the American's fault for driving a car instead of an APC (armored personnel carrier)?
