What's causing the angst between the null-sec care bears and the hi-sec care bears?
1. If/When you apply to a null-sec corp./alliance, nothing less than a DNA and fingerprint sample will suffice. (Full APIs DO NOT protect a corp. or alliance from spahs, I speak from personal knowledge on this subject.)
2. If-When you join a null-sec corp./alliance they think they're doing you a favor.
3. Second full time job.
This is a game, not a job! Like many people, I log into EVE to relax and have a little fun here and there. Not be yelled at over coms about how I've not logged on in a day or two or three or four. RL is RL and RL takes first seat over all else. I'm not some basement dweller w/o a life or college student who's daddy pays the bills.
I'm an adult with real life obligations that takes priority over some zit-ridden teenaged alliance leader who gets hard-ons yelping orders from his mom's basement. If you ask me I thinks it's the first time some players have ever been in a position that resembled authority.
I don't want to hear that I've not killed X number of reds, get my ass to work or I'm going to be kicked from the corp./alliance -or I've not mined XYZ amounts of ABC ores, if I don't get busy I will be kicked from alliance. I'm not your slave nor am I slave to this game.
I play when time permits and usually when it's bad or miserable weather outside.
Some attitude adjusment for the leaders of sov held corps/alliances would go a long way to help some players transition to lo/null sec. I agree that hi-sec players need to change too.
However, you can't blame players if major alliance or corps leaders within said alliances condone victimizing new comers EVERY DAMN opportunity they get. Ever heard: Oh yeah... contract your stuff to one of our corp members and we'll jump that suff down for you. Here's another; Yeah we need a security deposit before we allow you into our corporation because of past experiences. Well, I'm sorry! If you need a security deposit because of past events, you suck as a corp. director. But we all know the real reason, don't we?
YES EVE is a cold, harse place... but you don't have to kill all the greenhorns (or steal from them) as soon as they get out the gate. Invite them into your corp/alliance, let them adjust to the brutal reality, then you take advantage of them if they slip up.
What some of you guys are doing in null sec is no less than what scammers do in Jita, just a different genre. You just excuse it as EVE being a cruel place and new comers ought to HTFU. Don't blame players for not wanting to go where they're likely to get ass ****** every time they let their guard down by members of their alliance or corp.
So... yeah null-sec, you pissed in your corner of the sandbox and now you want to blame the smell of rotten **** on your fellow players in hi-sec. |
