Well there is nothing wrong with a little bit of pvp action, even in high sec.
I mean the very first time that someone killed a freighter in high sec was pretty hilarious. I remember that video on youtube from way back when.
I do have to agree with Obvious Troll here somewhat. Essentially a miner in a hulk risks more (even not during hulkageddon) than a pvp player who is fit out to die and then can rebuy his ships with insurance. We can talk about eve being harsh and cold and evil, and i 100% agree, but it should also be realistic. There is no risk in blowing up miners in high sec with insured smart bomb ravens. So talking about miners complaining like its their fault .... i'm not sure i buy that.
So while we can never say "no don't do it", certainly some looking at the insurance system is in order. Either scaling back perfect insurance, or simply discounting or denying insurance for concord incidents. People can still high sec gank if they choose to so, but , they should take a risk when they do, instead of being able to hit the reset button every time weather they fail or not.
Someone shouldn't be able to camp in jita for 6 hours and shoot every hauler that comes through a gate and get rewarded for it. They should instead be required to camp in Jita for a long time, scan out good targets, shadow them, crush them, and then run off with the booty, and hopefully they made a profit. Id even propose a comprimise here, and let concord not-insta pop them, if the parties involved can find a smart non-farmable way to evade concord after they looted someone. Like a mugger in new york hitting pay dirt because he snuck into the richest part and beat a buisness man with a wrench w/out getting caught. But insurance hi-sec farming isn't cool. Its allowed, but its just really really lame. Like grandma with an ipod rocking out to yodeling and barbershop lame.
Not opposed to anyone doing anything in eve. I am opposed to un-fun game mechanics however. And generally speaking this whole wave of unoriginal hi-sec ganking is starting to get a bit boring. it was cute the first time. It was clever when privateers did it. Now its just lame. I never been high sec ganked, and probably never will, but it just strikes me as a lame profession.
I could hang out with a 0.0 Pvper, or a industrialist, or a marketer in a bar. I met a carebear killer in a bar once, and he was one of the gayest people i ever met. Scammers are probably just as bad. I wouldn't want to be seen with those kind of people in public. And every person i ever shared a vent server with who admitted to scamming people was usually the biggest toolbox in the room. Not hate, just facts. So before you cut everyone down you mighty forum warriors, take a nice hard look in the mirror.
I've always been uncomfortable with a mob, and I see a bit of group thinking going on here, which is unbecoming of the intellectual crowd that Eve players consider itself. |
