By your logic: your last pod loss didn't have a single implant and the ship you lost was cheaply fitted. You are clearly risk averse.

Just FYI: RvB don't podkill.

Edit My apologies RvB don't pod people in Red or Blue just everyone else.

Yes, but this is also true of any other corp. Just saying, they're a poor example to build an argument on.

And just to get my 2-ó in, it's already been said in this thread, but "only fly what you can afford to replace" also applies to what's in your head.

You were beginning to make a little sense. Then you just lost it again.

I can't afford to keep fitting +5s in my clone because I'd become bankrupt from multiple pod losses. Does that make me risk averse or does that make me realistic? I usually use +3s and sometimes I have to fight in my +4 clone. I don't like it but I do it anyway. Does that make me risk averse? I'd do it in +5s if I had the bank roll.

Just because people are willing to put up with a system doesn't mean that the system isn't broken.

I cannot afford to buy a Dreads and lose them multiple times without becoming bankrupt, does that mean that system is broken?

I will admit I don't believe it was a coincidence this article appeared on themittens.com the day after the announcement that Dr Caymus has entered the 200.000.000 skillpoint club.

I love how this argument was lost before it even left the ground (by ground, im referring to the horrid 3rd party site from which it sprang) and yet, here it is, still with no compelling argument as to why Nullsec should have this particular risk removed beyond "aderp, cuz it halps us peeveepee, aderp".

Here's a tip for all you risk averse cry babies in Nullsec: Move to highsec, or lowsec if you can hack it, and stop crying.

You're making fools of yourself, beyond how foolish you normally look. Learning implants too expensive to replace? Don't use them. How difficult is that? Stop asking CCP to hold your hands and nerf learning implants for the rest of EVE because you can't make the retardedly simple decision to use them if you can afford it and not use them if you can't.

"BAAAAAAAAH!!! But then ours noobs suffer from slow skill training. BAAAAAAAHH!!!"

Then instruct those noobs about the risk / reward scenarios you're so fond of trotting out. Teach them how easy it is to setup jump clones (it's really ******* easy; hai Estel Arador and others). You could even, gasp, spread some of that sickening amount of wealth you hoard and do something that even Eve ******* University has figured out and provide +3 implants at a discounted rate. If Eve University can figure out a way to subsidize implants for it's noobs, i'm sure the great minds you have squirreled away in Null can come up with something similar.

Just because you cannot afford to do it does not make it broken, it just means you are choosing not to risk it.

I cannot afford to buy a Dreads and lose them multiple times without becoming bankrupt, does that mean that system is broken? or instead of flying dreads in PvP I could fly brutix and then have to worry a lot less about the numbers I loose. Just like putting in +2 or +3 implants instead of +5s.

your opinion is totally irrelevant to me though

glad that my article made you so ******* angry in any case

also I don't give a flying **** what Eve University does because they're not funding a gigantic supercapital fleet, they're not running a massive campaign nor do they have space to upgrade and pay for

lol npc alts

LOL! Delicious tears. Thank you for that.

Keep crying about how expensive it is to fund your supercapital fleet and how unworthy your noobs are to see any of that ISK in their pockets and how hard it is for you and them to fund PVPing with learning implants and also how hard it is to setup jump clones.

Keep pretending you dont care waht Eve University does while you troll their channels day in and day out recruiting from their ranks and giving their noobs awful, terrible advice. And dont stop responding to me despite how irrelevant I am.

And, lastly, keep coming up with the terrible ******* ideas that even the people on your own terrible mouthpiece propaganda website will downvote into oblivion even before it reaches the masses of the Eve Forums. Come on, really, how pathetic do you feel when even the goons and testicls on that awful site wont back up your awful idea. You should be ashamed of yourself.

still with no compelling argument as to why Nullsec should have this particular risk removed beyond "aderp, cuz it halps us peeveepee, aderp".

I dont care so much about skill training times now as I usually just use +3s. I worry more about it presenting a problem to newer players who think that you need to have +5s to be level with everyone else.

keep crying about our site, it's hilarious!

If the noobs you hang around with think they need +5s then you're doing a terrible job of educating them. A pair of +3 implants costs, at most, 20 million ISK. If they can't afford that or can't figure out how to install a jump clone they don't deserve implants.

I love it when highsec/lowsec chars say "I PVP in +5s/5% hardwirings all the time, maybe you just suck at PVP".

Yeah, let me know when that becomes relevant to the discussion.

What do you think is the first thing I tell noobies who complain about the price of +5s?

But i thought it wasnt your site? I thought it was a bastion of unbiased and balanced "news reporting" unlike the ebil bad men who neber tell the truth about goons and test and everybody else who they arent affiliated with.

Thanks for lifting the veil off that bunch of obvious lies and propaganda.

So in other words, what you're saying is that people who PVP where they can be podded should be punished for it by either having to buy new +5s all the time, train SP slower than people who sit in hisec and do nothing but grind missions or rocks, or have to forego the occasional PVP because their jumpclone is still on cooldown.

Nobody said that.

Let us know when you're done being an idiot.
