I am assuming the majority of people in here are minors and industrialists. So, I was wondering what everyone in here thinks about the Hulkageddons that are preformed in high-sec. To me IÆm a casual player and carebear with 3 accounts as I solo a lot and only have a few friends in RL that play eve. So I do missions with them. IÆm not super strongly attached to Eve and play other games. IÆve been playing eve for a few years now.
As this Hulkageddon thing grows in popularity and becomes a frequent thing, what I once viewed as having a fun time with a bit of risk is becoming less fun and increased risk. I have been thinking of possibly moving on if things donÆt change. I played Ever Quest for over eight and a half years until it became no longer fun and I see Eve heading in that direction as well for me.
I know that the majority of CCPÆs income is made up of casual players such as myself and carebears in general. The thing I see is that the ones that do the most squawking is the PVP community that actually makes up the minority of eve. Just like any industry the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Because the majority of CCPÆs clients are literally the silent majority but make up the bulk of their finances; there is hope if the carebear/high-sec community got together and became more proactive in pushing for our needs.
I just would like to hear your thoughts.

I do know it's coming and I dock up and don't play for a few months until it's over. But to me the more this is allowed to happen the less time I play. Currently the enjoyment of Eve has been diminishing for me and I'm contemplating on leaving. I was wondering if others are feeling the same thing.

I agree with you Coty. It's starting to get that way for me. When I leave a game, I cancel all my accounts, destroy all my stuff and never look back. It's a "game" and is suppose to have a aspect of enjoyment to it. When there is no longer any enjoyment it's time to go. I pay for enjoyment to play a game. Remove the enjoyment from the game and I go somewhere else.

Well I've never lost a hulk and I am never afk and an always weary of anyone the pops into my belt. I also never mine in highly populated areas either. But the fact that it has become more common place and I have to continually have to be on high alert all the time running a 0.0 fit for my hulks and Orca just to have fun, isn't much fun any more. If that kind of fun is what I was after, then I would mine low-sec, but it's not.

Yes this is one of my posting alts mainly because I don't need the hassles of getting hunted down and harassed by "pirates". I relies it only is for a week, but they keep pushing it to go for another then another and so on eventually your just hosed. Currently the game mechanics do favor the ganker and I think that is wrong.
I end up taking a few months off during that time and I find something else to entertain me, and then I play it for a while, usually a standalone game. I didn't start this thread to listen to PVPers say how great it is and tell everyone that it is a good thing. I just wanted to know if any other casual players were thinking about the same thing.
I've been threw all the Hulkageddons and the Jehiad from GS. I've sat and watched how CCP did nothing and the high-sec community would complain and then stop after a bit because it fell on deaf ears with CCP. So now the carebear community in general does nothing during these times.
If I'm the only one that thinks this way then so be it. I know that every MMO doesn't live on for ever. Eventually they all die out because they either over compensate for whiners or fail to monitor the needs of their largest customer base. One day another MMO similar to eve will come along and then a migration will begin, I've seen it many times before.
