Klandi wrote:So instead of discussing subjective theory, let me express a scenario - as close to factual as possible.
I am an industrialist in game - I want to make money by making stuff and selling stuff. The "sandbox" allows this. To perform this I must have a way of making stuff and also making a profit so I can pay for plexes for my characters and purchase components to make into stuff. My preferred method of making stuff is by erecting a POS - a large one, a Minnie POS.
I need to sell my stuff to the masses and the most cost effective location is Jita - so where is the best place to erect my POS?
IN NULL_SEC OF COURSE.
Sadly not oh gentle reader - because it would not be profitable - and the cost of PLEXes is high so I must maximize my profits. So I put up my POS in hi-sec - fairly close to this major hub.
Now I need fuel to maintain this method of gameplay - where do I go to get this?
IN NULL_SEC OF COURSE.
Again - we are not on the same page - I need to get the ice in hi-sec because it is cost effective and I prefer to do it alone as I cannot afford to share it. So - a Metropolis ice bearing system gets the attention of my ice-miner.
And I get ganked ....
Because the situation has been created that means several variables (hi-sec, POS structures, fuel requirements, location of Jita, type of gameplay) I have no choice about where I go to optimize my profits.
So for the casual player, the one that does not like large groups or never feels the need to be hampered by sitting in or creating a supercap or station - why do I need null-sec?
And why do I need to be ganked?
In short ,YOU have created my dependency and now you want to punish me for it?
That is griefing...
Because CCP made all your decisions for you.
Consider producing something you can make in safer space.
It's a sandbox. You don't have to make your castle where the dumb kid peed.
Honest. |

Don't be ridiculous. Gank risk is a part of your cost of doing business. If, after factoring that risk, you're better off operating somewhere else, then so be it.
QFT. Getting ganked should be factored into your business model. It's a known risk so set aside some of your profit to cover it and other contingent risks.
And if the profit to do so isn't there, then you're trying to build a castle in the sand where the dumb kid peed.
The sand there is gross, smells bad, and doesn't clump well.
Look for cleaner sand. |

CCP made the game
YOU forced me to play this way so YOU are to blame I also blame the other players for not allowing me to have my own personal Tech-moon and a fleet of Titans. 
Why aim so low? Why not a fleet of Tech moons and a whole gaggle of fanbois to manage the pos's for you for pennies on the dollar, too? |

Klandi wrote:You lot are strange
From Strangelove putting a 5mil bounty on my head (thanks sweetie) to weird comments like " What you talk about have nothing to do with greifing. But all to do with market balance. If no hulks where blown up in eve then mineral prices would go down and in the end your profit would be the same." I am wondering whether you read the same post I wrote!!!
but carry on ... *sigh*
To be fair the OP was short on content and eternally long on accusations that cannot possibly be true.
So you being shocked that people act like they don't understand what you're talking about is par for the course, I guess. |

You might stand up to them instead of whining on the forums and accusing them of making your decisions for you.
And you say that the respondants to this thread need to grow a pair?
Hmmm. Why do you want to modify my playstyle so much?
I think the tear detector is sounding its alarm! |

As it seems FA are - so you are speaking from experience there I see. Thank you for the most useless advice given in this thread - please do not post again
Wait a minute.
Does -FA- pay you rent? Because I don't think they pay anybody rent.
In fact, I'm really quite sure they do what they want. |
