That has happened before and there were no tears. Because EVE PvP is not worth any tears, because its just plain dumb. Fights are decided before they even start and for a newbie with no veteran back-up, the outcome is always the same.

I never risk anything I would regret losing and the few times I got caught, I just stood there waitign for my ship to explode and my pod pop, ignoring the incoming convos telling me how terribad I am and the values of ransoms I should pay and following hatemails telling me how I suck for carebearing and you know what?

It seems it made them PvP sl*ts even more angry and depressed because I didnt really give a **** about their F1 pewpew. Thats where I win EVE, a newbie in an npc corp who will be gradually more and more catered to. Thats where all of you bitter vets lose, spilling tears of nostalgy and praying for a "hardcore uber evil video game" which wiill never work if made for profit.

Boo-hoo!

Can someone explain to me why a sandbox game (as many claim) is supposed to be just PVP? My understanding is Eve plays out according to how you want to play it, not how someone else wants your experience to be.

That's why I come back, that's why I enjoy the game. Sure you can influence my image of the game, but I will do my best to enjoy it how I want to play. To me that is exactly what a Sandbox should be.

When someone says, well Eve was meant to be played X type of way, that instantly means crying.

Give me your stuff before you leave.

Seriously though, get over it. People play games as ENTERTAINMENT, something FUN to do. Not to get griefed. What? I should play something else then? No. I want to play a science fiction game, and people like YOU aren't going to ruin it for me. The wallet of the carebears has spoken. Deal with it.

if your idea of "fun" is watching your mining lasers hit a rock, well, have fun

When I was a new player, Eve was incredibly lethal. Jump into a .4, get your face blown off. Rinse, repeat. Your life span was usually dictated by how long you could hold your cloak at a gate. This part of the game was what kept me coming back for more. Extreme risk, extreme danger, extreme loss if you make a mistake.

I play this science fiction game for FUN, not life.

NEWBREED FAILTHEMEPARKERS UNITE!!!! (It's OK, EVE is "safe" for you now.)

Like I said before, get over it. If I want to explore low sec with probes, go into wormholes, engage in industry or trade in lowsec, or even rat or do missions to relax, I shouldn't have to deal with griefers all the time. I play this science fiction game for FUN, not life.

well said.

I love how the most of the carebears are smarter than the so called "pvpers" in this game. Real pvpers play other games.

"I want to go into the explicitly dangerous areas and not be shot because Sandbox"

I should be able to ridiculously abuse tactics to the point of breaking the game without recourse

Kill All miners, who needs minerals anyway

You're not playing the game the way I want it played! You're avoding letting me ********** all over my keyboard while i suicide you! WWWWHHAAAAA

Dangerous because NPCs? Sure. Dangerous because a gang of 12 neck bears who can't make is in nul and enjoy ruining other people's days because they get stepped on in the real-world while serving fries to others to make their monthly troll-game payments? No. Get out.

you're a whiny little ***** Richard. HTFU.

i'm sorry that you don't like the pvp aspect of this game

try another game

It'd put a hard limit on the scale of engagements which is never a good thing.

Blob warfare may be relatively unexciting compared to smaller scale fights but it's far more exciting to talk about fights between 2000 dudes than "oh man 4 of my friends and I decided to go roaming"

No. I suggest you leave. You and your kind are what make this game have such a low population of players; because you pew at anything that moves, even in a tiny newb ship. For this game to thrive, PvP changes like what's happening should occur. Deal with it.

you go into nullsec areas (w-space, or k-space) and you're at risk of being ganked. that is the design of the game. get over it. you want to do things with minimal risk (not no risk as some whiny bitches here are asserting high sec) stay in high sec.

highsec is, and should be, mostly-safe. soon as you leave mostly-safe space you're liable to get shot up. if you cannot deal with that then stay in ******* highsec.

350k subscribers is not a "low population" in any way, shape or form, hope this helps

fairly hypocritical of you to post "HTFU" anywhere

>implying 350k subscribers is indicative of a healthy and thriving online population where most activity online is around 40k now
>implying 10k of those 40k aren't just nulsec alts.

i'm not the one whining about targets that can't shoot back being made harder to suicide. I'm not the one whining about CONCORD exploits being fixed. I'm not the one whining about highsec being too safe.

Nor am I the one whining about lowsec/nullsec being not safe enough, or that other people's way of playing the game may conflict with mine.


You are just as bad, if not worse, than the complete carebears. The carebears just want to be left alone, you on the other hand cannot stand the idea that if you suicide someone in highsec it is going to be costly - which has been part of the ******* game design from day one.

That doesn't stop freighters carrying lots of shiny loot from getting suicided, nor should it.

>implying 350k subscribers is indicative of a healthy and thriving online population where most activity online is around 40k now

>implying 10k of those 40k aren't just nulsec alts.

except that the game is at those numbers because it caters to a niche rather than the masses

this game won't last long if it's suddenly transformed to cater to the "masses" given the fact that it's a set of spreadsheets with some outdated 3D graphics

i'm sorry if i disagree with "hisec should be EVE in easy mode"
