Yes, the reason that Jita is the game's main trade hub is because of technetium and goons. That's the only possible reason. |

This is the post I'm talking about specifically.
"Which is probably stems from their everyday life where they are very rarely acknowledged and usually overlooked and ignored."
You don't know anything about their everyday life.
"Which in turn is likely justified because they have no redeeming qualities in their personality"
You don't know enough about their personality to make this either a justification or a conclusion.
"have no ability to take any kind of responsibility for their failures and refuse to approach any issues with an objective view"
Now, I can see why this would be relevant if you were talking specifically about using the forums to complain instead of doing something about their problems in-game, but when you start your post with "probably stems from their everyday life" it becomes antagonistic and presumptuous, and not just a little arrogant.
Those kinds of posts are disgusting, and they don't reflect well on your argument at all. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

You'd be stupid to have a freighter full of only trit instead of compressing it in to T1 large guns. which is done to transport trit.

You seem to be hellbent on presenting the ganking of a few ships as oh god this will kill eve. This is a fallacy. To some degree but EVE is an old game and has a very bad reputation for being full of antisocial misfits. Like you. You damage EVE when EVE needs new blood. You are selfish. You could be in any 0.0 sec doing roams, not to take Sov, just for PvP. No, you chose to sit in one system and exploit human flaw and ruin a game for others. You won't be missed. You won't be welcome in any other MMO either. They would put you out on your ear in the blink of an eye. You twist EVE in to something it wasn't supposed to be. A place with a complete lack of common sense or dignity. Keep your stuff. Donate it to one of the people you griefed. Hey buddy, you're the problem.
You're the reason people think that about EVE. Look at your posting. It's all "omg, pvp". Where do you think people who don't play EVE get that impression from. People like you.
People like you will kill EVE, not pvp.
Just quit already, it's obvious you're not interested in EVE. |

But...to get the trit to the factory system where you're making the trit into T1 large guns, you'd move it in a ...freighter full of only trit.
In all seriousness, depending on the length of the route and how much you value factory slots, t1 large gun compression would probably not be worth the effort to move between 2 hisec systems, where you can cheaply hire out the transport--with proper setting of collateral, you'd then profit from every gank.

Strawman? Seriously? Do you even know what that is?
Link me the post where I've ignored your actual position and substituted a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. That's a strawman. I haven't concerned myself with your position on freighter pilots, except to point out the difference between risk and stupidity. That was covered. I was, however, pointing out that your position would be better delivered without the spiteful expatiation about what kind of people they must be in real life - do you really expect them to respond well to that? Or was that your intention - to just make them angry? Why, that would be trolling, wouldn't it?
As it turns out, we actually share similar positions - if you bottom line it, remove the particulars, then we share the same position exactly, and that is that freighter pilots have nothing to whine about.
As for the innuendo.... I've picked things more precious than you from between my toes. There is no sexual tension, dear. You aren't even close to my type. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Now picture the undock at Jita 4-4 as small ships come flying out and bumping into larger ones... or as ships are warping in to bookmarked points at the undock. Just picture the chaos... the death and destruction ;) that is, if you are suggesting collision damage, there are a wide range of physics issues that would have to be tended to to implement these ships "exploding into scrap" and it's just not cost effective when there are already means available to players to avoid being bumped. Such as not being AFK, or on AP. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

I am imagining Cribba putting the Veldnaught in siege mode with Reppers in front of the Amarr dock. People coming online and undocking into the side of it like throwing eggs on a barn.

If it's OK with them, it's OK with me. You still missed the point in me debating you. Maybe EVE is healthy as a horse. If so, carry on. Maybe this is what they want. So if we take the sense you are making and apply it to other games, it should work out just fine.
You say people should use self control, to restrict the damage they do. So if I play chess with someone and can take their queen, I should have self control and not do it. Just in case I upset them.
If I'm playing poker and have a royal flush, I should fold just in case I win that hand and take the other guys money.
Yea, I can see that all makes a lot of sense. You keep talking sense and never stop posting please.

Ah yes, the jita undock strawman argument, brought out every single time someone suggests collision damage. If someone actually says "just implement collision damage, it's just 3 lines of code", then yes, that's a reasonably reply. If the person you're responding to doesn't say something like that, then assuming that the implementation of collision damage won't in some fashion address the jita 4-4 undock, when just that has been mentioned over 656 quintillion times on the forums, is so naive as to definitively fall into the strawman fallacy category. |

Then we agree that extremes are bad. So if my extreme of the ship exploding is stupid then why isn't the extreme of what happens now just as stupid? Perhaps there is some middle ground here. |

People need to stop misusing fallacies. Seriously, I'm sick of it - if collision damage was on, it wouldn't just affect the Jita undock, it would affect all kinds of manoeuvring.
It's not naive, and it's not a strawman - it addresses the issue directly. A strawman would not address the issue, but would be some tangential argument about how your face looks funny so you couldn't possibly know what you are talking about.
And since when does naivety = strawman?
Seriously, go study up on your fallacies. Using Jita as an EXAMPLE of a myriad of physics complications that would have to be sorted out (not just 3 lines of code) addresses the issue of collision damage directly and is in no way a strawman. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |
