OK, here we go:

In Hi-Sec space, it is wildly inappropriate the way War Declarations are currently done. For instance, in the real world, even if the cops took bribes to turn the other way while a corporation with a vastly superior force crushed smaller corporations on a regular basis, I don't see the various Empires standing for it, certainly not the stations where much of the fighting happens. It's bad for business to have an Iteron and then a pod blown up during the docking maneuver. Plus, in the real world, the station would also suffer damage from fighting this close.
Pod pilots/Capsuleers/Eggers are the most powerful and destructive force known to New Eden, Concord could not even hope to stand against them if they ever united, for this reason certain "accomadations" are made allowing them to fight amongst themselves, the Police forces in real life have no such problems.
In addition, Pod pilots cannot be killed they/we are immortal and therefore, less value is placed on the "life" of a Pod pilot... unlike real life.
Also the station has a mega-superflex-a-matron shield array and is therefore impervious to weapons fire... but not Nyx's apparently.

So the Stations aren't going to approve this kind of activity, the various military forces might stand by and watch if they are paid as well, but I really don't think a Gallente military ship is going to ignore two Caldari ships attacking one of their own. They're going to blow the misbehaving Caldari pilots out of space, at least, unless they've received a bribe as well.
The allegiances of pod pilots are never this clear cut, the Gallente military in the above situation would be foolish to assume it's simply a Gallente Vs Caldari situation.

It isn't FUN to have your mining and hauling ships stomped by Tech II ships and guns. This is a game with a lot of character that doesn't need to be simplified to playground bullies. When I'm ready to PVP, I'll go to low-sec and 0.0 space where each moment is a challenge and every undocking a potential adventure. I've never had any respect for anyone who picks on people incapable of fighting back on an even level. Most War Decs in Hi-Sec space, unless they're mutual, qualify for that description.
Unfortunatly your willingness to play this game states your readiness to PVP.

What kind of player gets his jollies blowing up miners and haulers and industrialists that never did ANYTHING to them? Is this the kind of game you're defending? Why the HELL did they bother to provide all those other aspects to players if it all came down to who's got the bigger, badder ship or who's been playing for 2 or 3 years and has 50,000,000 or more experience points?
This comment portrays your ignorance and requires no response, however perhaps you should consider how this player got to this superior point.
In closing, this is EVE in which you are an immortal demi-god of the skies, however in real life you are just... you, therefore any comparison between the two is void.
I hope you find my response to have some real thought behind it  |
