I like how the OP assumes there is some high court in eve that his legalese mumbo jumbo will appeal to. News flash, EVE doesn't work like the real world. People don't play games because they want them to be like the real world. As a matter of fact most people play mmos, more specifically sandbox mmos, because they're different from the real world. Whether that's escapism, boredom, or simply a way to kick back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your day after work, is dependent on the player. Point is though, this is EVE, not real life.
If you think spewing your legalese crap in a video game is going to do anything but make people point and laugh at your delicious tears, you are VERY sadly mistaken. You lost a ship, and if you're an active miner I'm sure you've got the isk to replace it. Your time would have been better spent researching why you died and how to prevent it in the future. But alas it appears learning is a foreign concept to you, and anything that doesn't work how you want it to work must be changed. Instead you chose to write a wall of text about why CCP should change game mechanics that the majority of the community enjoys this game for, so that you can mine in peace.
Had you been paying attention, you wouldn't have lost your pod at the very least. If you had a clue about any aspect of EVE other than how fast your hulk can mine roids, for example, how to use your directional scanner, or even adding combat probes to your overview, you probably wouldn't have lost your ship either. On top of that if you bothered to pay attention to anything other than how much veldspar was in your hold, you'd have known that hulkageddon was active. You would have also known that mining in an untanked hulk during hulkageddon was about the dumbest, most careless decision you could have made.
I don't mine anymore, and to be honest I never mined much when I did. My total mining time is probably under 24 hours worth. However even though I don't mine, I still took the time to learn the mechanics. I still take the time to fit a mining ship in EFT to see how much tank it can achieve, and how much ore it can mine. I actively learn the game mechanics, every day I play EVE I learn a new mechanic. If I were you, I would stop crying every time something happens that I don't like, and instead use that energy to educate myself about the mechanic that caused the action I did not want.
Here's a protip for you, if it costs more to blow your ship up than you will lose as a result, your ship probably won't be looked at by gankers much.
This wall of text is starting to compete with yours though. So I'm going to leave this as my final statement.
EVE is not real life, you are not safe, ever, and your ignorance is not reason to change game mechanics that have been in place long before you started playing this game. This is MY EVE, and you should consider yourself lucky you have the privilege to play target practice with us.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I didn't even read the OP. I already knew pretty much everything you said, and the type of theme park lover that you are from the quotes in the ganker's response. |
