Dear Carebear:
I do apologize. Arguments from reason are always, always welcome, whomever gives them. You are a beacon for others to follow.
Well now your pushing it, i just wanted to be quoted once...
But to be serious, i might not have been so serious before, cause this thread tends towardt the rediculous at times, i fully support the mechaninsm as it works now... how else can you go around and salvage the wrecks in roid belts that miners have just left behind...
I perhaps don't support Ninjas in general, at least those that visit me, but then i don't like gangkers and the idiot that podded me either, but i can't really complain now can I, its the way the game is, and in this case, CCP has made so many comments that it is intentioal that is hard to make the argument that its a bug and they are covering it up... This was very thougth through, and intentionaly implemented, or else they would have but it under the aggro flag banner...
So at least don't try to make it into a CCP screwup, conspiracy or some other similar claim, its sounds slightly rediculous...

Not a Tigers director and certainly not a senior operative of my Alliance so not really an option.
You are also under some kind of illusion that I care enough about your existence to bother even if I was.
That is unfortunate. I wanted to pod you repeatedly for your forum whines on salvaging.

<shrug> It's called changing one's mind. People do that sometimes in response to changing stimuli. To do otherwise is hopelessly rigid.
Not wasting my breath discussing the original topic anymore, though, that horse has been beaten to glue and the principals ceased communicating meaningful data long since.
I just thought it would be fun to shine the light of reality on someone talking big and trying to be scary who entirely lacked the chops to back it up.

His losses were all either pods or rifters, thrashers, and stabbers...with one Wreath and I think a Probe. The most extreme loss was a hurricane.
His kills include AFs, HACs, BS, one SB, and one Rifter.

Why yes, I do read.
None of the kills were solo that I could find and you neglect to mention that the primary enemy kill type were battleship hulls.
In other words, much like the TEARS KB, he and his friends are very very good at ganking PvE fit ships. This is not an accomplishment to trumpet to the heavens although I expect you'd like it to be. In fact, it's lame as hell. He has only one loss that wasn't in high sec as well (I believe Old Man's Star is lowsec, not certain) although I didn't bother with an exhaustive check of his older losses.
Clearly we have different definitions of what makes a pilot competent in combat. I don't count ganking the helpless as terribly frightening.
None of which changes the fact that his threat was podkilling - something he has never yet managed to do.
Threat still = empty
By the way, Kahega - I'm not writing any of this for you. Just to be clear, this is for those who are reading who might actually believe some of the BS that the ninjas throw around about being scary in PvP. I'm not a huge fan of KB in general but they do tell the truth in this case. You aren't combat pilots you're schoolyard bullies.

Well no need to take out your butthurt feelings on me like that, I'm just calling it as I see it. You brought your points to the table and in the end lost so you backed out in true MR fashion, but now you are back trying to sidetrack the thread with name calling and posturing.
Also just because another opinion differs from yours it does not make it wrong. Little lessons in life.

Not a bit of it.
Just those who refuse to discourse courteously and act childishly.
I have agreed to disagree with ninjas on occasion - but they were courteous and well mannered in their points of view so that was simple. Interestingly one of them is also the CEO of Suddenly Ninjas.
I still have a lot of respect for her, despite disagreeing with her.
Just not the rest of these buffoons. It's not their difference of opinion, it's their childish manner of expressing it and their absolutely pathetic means of 'discussion' (which reeks very much of something that belongs in the 6th grade).
And now I really am out as this has become entirely pointless and I'm quite beginning to lose my temper with some of the ad hominems and out and out lies from people who don't even know me.
Serves me right for rolling in the mud I suppose.

Edited by: TheMaster42 on 20/08/2009 23:28:42 This issue is so clear-cut. Mission runners want this change; it only makes sense. Ninja salvagers want this change, too, but it's obvious they're lying because if this were to come about, they'd all be exploding all the time by the hundreds.
All of Jarkvis' posts are so clear and correct, I don't see why there's any discussion on the matter at all. It's clear he's dealt with dozens of ninja salvagers and handily gotten them blown up or driven them off or otherwise turned the tables. I'd argue for salvaging to become a flaggable offense based only on his arguments.
It's very likely CCP is lying about wanting this change, and it's just a holdover from bad technology. Remember they changed warp to zero not because it made the game better/worse, but because their servers were burdened from people copying bookmarks all the time.
I welcome this change with all my heart, and await its inevitable arrival. Nothing in Eve could possibly stop my powerful, mission running, faction-fit Golem as it is essentially invincible, and so I deserve the chance to drive off all the nasty ninja salvagers I can all day.

You sir, are a bountiful and unappreciated resource to the EVE community. Without you, nobody would understand how the game is supposed to be played, and what constitutes "good play" versus "bad play". Hint for all new players: ignore the "dead, poor" documentation, and anything said by the people who actually created the game. Jarvis is Your Man.
Originally by: Jarvis Hellstrom Clearly we have different definitions of what makes a pilot competent in combat. I don't count ganking the helpless as terribly frightening.
By "we", of course, is meant "you" and "everybody who isn't you". Most of the time, when somebody dies in PvP as a result of a poorly-fit-for-PvP ship, fault is assigned to the pilot thereof. But in your special version of reality, it's the attacking pilots' fault; after all, as mentioned, nobody PvPs in a battleship or a stealth bomber, so they should've realized they were dealing with a "helpless" PvE'er and...let him shoot at them without consequence, I suppose.
Originally by: Jarvis Hellstrom None of which changes the fact that his threat was podkilling - something he has never yet managed to do.
Maybe, like me, he's discerning about who he podkills.

Su, no? And your debating points and tactics have been thoroughly wet-willied, wedgied, and depantsed in this thread.

Phew, after finally reaching the end of the 8 page eyeball-**** that was this thread, I must say I do find these debates quite interesting :P Been playing EVE for just over a year now, starting on lvl 4's now and finding it quite good, not a huge fan of PvP as I tend to suck, perhaps at some point in the future once I feel more confident in playing. (I'm from a WoW background and as such find EVE both more complex and rewarding).
I think a good solution would be to be able to scan for wreaks as opposed to players, and make wreaks randomly occur (but not too much ofc) this way a lot of the time 'Ninja's' could find mission site's where the MR had been and left (for example, up until last week I couldn't salvage and was therefore leaving all my wreaks after looting them). On the off-chance that they warp in to an ongoing mission site where a MR is currently doing the mission, they its up to the 'Ninja' to decide if he wants to upset the MR by salvaging wreaks in front of him, or leave him to it and find another site, failing that he could even ask if they intend to salvage?
I know ppl will say 'he doesn't need to ask, its part of the game' and yes this is true, but at the same time I don't have to give my seat up on the bus for elderly ppl, its all about showing a bit of courtesy and respect, something that seem to be lacking in both MMOG's and their relevant discussion forums.
