Claska Amarr The 8th Tribe Seraphim Dragoons.	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:04:00 - [1] the reasons you go to low-sec is A) better rewards b) pvp So why, do you ruin good fights by blobing? for example, i just lost an absolution, in what would have been a good fight, one that I might have won or lost, but it would have been a good fight, instead they pile and and boom i loose my ship but more importantly I didn't get a good fight. So I ask you What is the point of flying in lowsec if you are just going to deny one entier half of the reason of being there and having boring fights? plus it makes you look cowardly, it shows that you couldn't win a fight on even standings, but I digress; can some one from one those cowardly corps who can only pvp through blobing explain to me why you bother to even be in low-sec if your going to deny one of the main reasons to be there, becuase it makes no sense, why deny yourself fun? This is a game is it not? So please, enlighten me. p.s. whilst I am honestly intriged as to the mental process of ruinging your own fun, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed that I lost out on a good fight. I don't care that i lost the ship, I've lost several of them, it's the fun that's been denied that I'm a little peeved about.
Monstress	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:09:00 - [2] Edited by: Monstress on 31/05/2011 21:14:34 Because some of us find joy in the simple act of blowing someone else's ship up, regardless of how big our gang is or how much e-honor you might have. edit: I fly in blobs, small gangs, even solo. But I don't die to a blob horribly and then blame the blob, except for titan bridging blobs since, without being victimized once or actually knowing the cyno alt's toon it's impossible to foresee. At least with black ops you know that if you see a recon ship foolishly aggress you, it's probably bait. With roaming gangs, keep eyes in next door systems and you'll avoid engaging bait.

Anddeh McNab Cadre Assault Force	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:13:00 - [4] Because PvP in EVE is so very visceral, dying in EVE has alot more servere consequences than your elf falling over in other games. So with more at stake people will only engage if they think they can win, or they're idiots. --- There are two sides to the EVE community; those that scream for change and those that scream against it. Often they are the same person.

lwxsky oli Minmatar FACTS on EVE OWN Alliance	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:24:00 - [6] You call 6 ppl battle-cruisers fleet a blob ??? LOL I'm not even sure your absolution was fitted for PVP or PVE. What's your point of flying that ship in low-sec ?? Getting blown apart ?? And NO, you have no chance of winning since you don't have any warp scrambling mods fitted in low sec. Apparently it's just another carebear's wining. " I've lost several of them " ----- LIE It's the only ship you have lost on this character.
Palovana Caldari Inner Fire Inc.	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:25:00 - [7] Blobs have been part of science fiction since the 1950s. They're not going anywhere. ----- Your Plain Text Cookie perfectly strikes New Forums, wrecking for inifnite damage.
Claska Amarr The 8th Tribe Seraphim Dragoons.	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:26:00 - [8] But i still don't get it, no matter if you like blowing up ships, it's boring and unsatisfying if there wasn't a good fight, somthing to get your blood pumping so it's not fun so why do somthing that isn't fun? the point of playing EVE is to have fun so why do somthing (whether or not you can) that isn't fun? I mean my abso vs a drake and a clycone would have been a fairly even fight, if I'd have lost then at least I whent down fighting, if I won a great challange overcame, same for my opponents, hence why it's fun; blobing takes the challenge out of it so it's not fun just point, click, and watch the bars go down. So why do somthing that intrinsicly isn't fun? I mean if you don't want to have fun then why are you playing a game? I mean if you want to blob go to empire, wardec a corp, they love it there. This blobbing is not fun and ruins any fun that might be had so i still can't understand why to do it, I'd I'd have known that I was going to be blobbed I wouldn't have bothered , I'd have just run the moment I saw them... ok I wouldn't have since that's just as boring. Blobbing is slowly killing off solo pvp, if you know you won't get a good fight then bother, right? No, i'm sorry but there's no excuse for it, blobbing is boring so i don't understand the need for it, everything in eve is all an extention of one thing, to have fun, so why do somthing that goes against it? blobing isn't fun for any one, blowing up a ship is satisfying but it's not fun if you did it with no challange at all.

Meh what's the loss of a battlecruiser .. it's the killboards that make people cower for every seemingly even fight and get the cavalry in. Killboard stats killed most of the EVE PvP fun.
PriorofDeath The Suicide Express Sobriety Test Failures	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:33:00 - [10] Originally by: Cartheron Crust Remove killmails from the game. God I'd love to see that Cartheron but we both know IT WILL NOT happen. To the OP, I honestly feel that the reason people blob; and by no means is a 5 man bc gang a blob, if above posters are correct; is because as individual pilots, they lack the confidence, skills, and mental capacity to understand the finer aspects of game mechanics and how they play into pvp. Blobs will happen, end of story. What makes blobs great is most of the pilots are r3tarded and if your smart you can easily get a kill on the blob and get your ship out aswell if you know how to manage it. Also dont fly a 300+mil ship solo in lowsec if you are not intelligent about intel. Also learn to fly nano**** solo, you'll find it much more accesable than slow ass amarr. Trust me it doesnt work 90% of the time. Rain Man Could Do It And He Was A R3Tard! Go On N1GGA Get JEFFRIED!
Claska Amarr The 8th Tribe Seraphim Dragoons.	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:42:00 - [11] ^^ so your essentially saying that people who blob are too stupid to play on there own? Wow, stupid and cowarldy how do they manage it? But in all seriousness your right, it was pretty stupid to try and solo pvp in a command ship, even more one set up for gang/fleet pvp instead of solo, that said, 6 ships vs one is still a blob, a smalelr blob but it's still the same mentatlity of a blob, ergo a blob. and through there cowardly act ruined not just mine but there own fun. sigh I fear for eve if this carries on soon i doubt you'll see ANY solo pvp because people will be too afraid to go out and fly on there own. Did this all start becuase of kill mails?

You are learning the hard way the leasson many, including my self learned a long time ago. If it looks fair? You are being set up. My first "painfull" experience was an Abaddon, lost 1 jump in to low sec to 15 guys. Who then got wiped out when I logged another account on and 70 of us slaughtered them. Yes, we blobbed the blob that blobbed me. They trolled me in local about using a baddon as a bait ship and we didnt tell them any different. The didnt know I had just finished fitting it. I can't explain it, you can't but it's been this way since at least '05, I have been here since '05. EVE is a gank-a-boy game. I blob because the ships in EVE say that's what you are supposed to do.
Claska Amarr The 8th Tribe Seraphim Dragoons.	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:52:00 - [13] So then why bother to even play? if your going to do things that take the fun out of playing, why bother? Seriously, eve is a game, you play it to have fun, in other words people who blob are paying to do boring things? Eve has always been about interesting stories, and fun fights, If you would rather blob so you can win instead of having a fun time with a challanging fight then play somthing else, it's ruining the fun of the game and will kill solo pvp, or at the very least make it super hard to do it so that it's almost not worth doing.
skippy moveyourcrap	Posted - 2011.05.31 21:57:00 - [14] Get your own blob or quit crying. Or don't pilot a flying brick solo in lowsec. Or fly a hac or shield bc. Don't be stupid.

Seriously, eve is a game, you play it to have fun, in other words people who fly small gangs are paying to win? Eve has always been about interesting stories, and fun fights, If you would rather fly with friends so you can win while having a fun time fighting with small gangs and offing poorly fit Abso's along the way then I need to play somthing else, it's ruining my fun of the game and will kill solo pvp for people who have no idea what they're doing, or at the very least make it super hard to do it in an Lol Fit Armor Tank so that it's almost not worth doing without proper ships. FYP If you were in a Nano Curse or Sheild Harb this prolly woulda not happened and you would be finding your next target right now. Also no Cap Boost on an Active Tank with Meta Guns. I understand that as a noob but on an Abso. At that cost and SP you should know better.

Ioci Gallente Space Mermaids	Posted - 2011.05.31 22:06:00 - [17] And the replies you are seeing ia EVE. It is no challenge. You fit the ship before you undocked. You won or lost before you undocked. There is a grain of truth to all the monday morning quarter backing on your fit. Ships in EVE are one trick ponies that fill a role in a blob and fail solo. You can solo a nano Vaga or a Curse but its still not challenge. You fly through space, nope I cant kill them, nope I can't kill him, nope I cant kill that. Boom there is one but its still not hard or a challenge. The Badger will die to your Curse, no questions, no doubt about it.

They arn't assumptions, what other reasons do people go for low sec over empire? Better rewards at a higher risk or for pvp, there is no other reason to be living in low-sec, it's not just my reason, it's a fact, the only differance between high sec/empire and low is better rewards and you can kill others without fear of reprisal from concord for initiation an atack, there is nothing else, you can spin it how you like but that would be nothing more then quibling with semantics, whether you going for FW or for minning, i'ts for a better reward then what you can get in high sec. And you think clicking on a target, going F1, alt+f2 and then watching the target's hp bar's go down without a single iohtah of challenge is fun? wow you must be a ball at parties, what do you do, collect stamps? Nah i'm just kidding, but honestly it's not what i think, it's just the way it is, you pvp for a greater challenge since pve is kinda... challengless by comparison. PVP has unpredictability into it that you just don't get in pve and to just do somthing as boring as watching a target bar go down is going against the reason of doing pvp in the first place, the greater challenge. The reason you want a greater challenge is becuase what you were doing isn't fun any more, so as I said it all boils down to having fun and blobing is the antithesis of pvp as it removes that element of challenge which was the reason to do pvp over pve. If you don't want a challenge, then why bother doing pvp? It's counter intuative. if all you want is more rewards, then either do some pve content like incursion or bite the bullit and go to lo-sec... oh snap the first reason to go to lo-sec and i've already pointed out the other reason so yeah... sigh i belive i'm getting off topic with that so i'm going to leave that here

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2011.05.31 22:28:00 - [20] Fun fights are fun fights, but when winning is a priority, blobbing is necessary. When I'm in a fight I try to assure two things: 1. that we win 2. the the enemy has as little fun as possible fighting us Therefore the enemy would be less likely to want to engage again.

Shieko Chan	Posted - 2011.05.31 22:29:00 - [22] First of all, I assume that by "Blob" you are referring to large fleets. Second, I have to ask, are you mentally challenged? Surely if you thought about it for even the 2 seconds it would take a normal person you could have answered your own question. Why "blob", fly in large fleets? 1. to win. 2. because they like to fly together. 3. because they want to minimize ship loss. 4. because they have a common goal to achieve. 5. because there will always be a strategic advantage in superior numbers, even those not fleeted who are working together. ..."divided we fall." These are just the few that popped into my mind while reading your post. I'm sure if you gave it a try you could maybe figure some out on your own.

Blob = 7 in this case for reference. 1 Hictor Tackle 2 Blaster DPS Battleships 1 Cane 2 ECM 1 Curse I know it looks like a standard small gang but don't be fooled it is a Blob.

Dragoons are not known for bravery or for undocking without a clear cut advantage. Now, now, no need to resort to smack; whether or not that is true (I have only just started playing eve again) or not, I don't know about that, it still has no bearing on the thread so please don't derail the thread in an attempt to discredit what I'm saying by virtue of whom I am in assocation with, true or not. and @Shieko Chan not to what I'm awear of, however I ask that you read my op and try to realise what I'm saying, whether or not your trying to win or achive a goal, it's still boils down to one thing, having fun and blobing goes against fun i'm not going to explain why it is against fun as I have already done that and if you can't be bothered to read it and at least acknowlage it, well I'm not going to be bothered to acknowlge you either. Please note personal attacks just make me wish to ask you the same thing especialy as the content of your post clearly shows you haven't actualy read the whole thread. p.s. I trully wish the blob were a lie.

I call that being outgunned. Try try 25+ on 1, or similar odds. then i call that blobbed. Also: learn to GTFO when your outgunned. And finally, Fail troll is fail.
Demure Guise	Posted - 2011.05.31 22:57:00 - [29] Originally by: Claska the reasons you go to low-sec is A) better rewards b) pvp So why, do you ruin good fights by blobbing? You missed out c) To ruin someone's day and have a bloody good laugh imagining the resulting QQ'ing. Then, rinse and repeat. Endless amusement. :)
Shieko Chan	Posted - 2011.05.31 23:02:00 - [30] I read your whinning post twice before I responded. I would argue that those who fly in large fleets are having fun..whose to say they're not, you? In fact, what is not fun is losing which in itself is an answer to your question. See, I knew you could do it.
