Most of my income has come from mining.. nothting fancy, hours of work to earn enough to buy my first hulk.. followed by more hours of work. Im not into PvP, more because my lifestyle cant support the time it takes to hunt cooperatively with a group of others. I have lost 2 hulks now, to dirt cheap (in comparison) PvP ships.
So, afk (or semi-afk) -ing the game while the minerals comes in constitutes as 'work' now? gotcha. People lose ships, all the time. There are many who have lost billions (not just hundreds of mils) worth of pve ships from dirt cheap ships, but it seems that only miners are the one who whines about this, considering Eve is a pvp game.

I just wanted to say, I don't get it.. I really dont understand what fun or challenge there is, to destroy a mining ship. It seems such a selfish, ego driven, and teenage - rage thing to do. I understand of course, its for the ISK earning... but even so.. it seems so short sighted a way to play.
Year and a half and you still don't get it? huh, i guess that's what mining does to you then. Selfish and ego driven? m8, Eve is a game, a g a m e. Miners do their thing, gankers does their thing, both are fair and valid way to play, if you happen to be the victim of the gank, hey, that's just the way it is, that's just how the game works. Eve, as a game, allows it. Also, no, it's not about the ISK, maybe for some people, or for some cases, but not most of them. It's also kinda weird that you said ganking is a short sighted way to play, what is mining then? all you do is what? go to a belt, turn on the mining lasers, watch tv, haul minerals, back to a belt, turn on mining lasers, read books? what do you call that?

Seriously.. why would I pay for a game that I can't play for a whole month during the year... because if I try to play in the way I would prefer too.. I will only die, and be worse of than not playing at all? Hulkaggedon is just a big, idiotic and short sighted childhood bully-fest.
Playing the way you prefer doesn't mean others can't play the way they prefer as well. If what you said is what i think you've said, then you're just one selfish introvert person who doesn't want others to enjoy the game as well just because you just want to be left alone, in a multiplayer online game that promotes conflict and player interaction. Also, how is it that dying in a game is worse than not playing? |
