As a total carebear who likes mining and making things who, up until last week was about to give up on this game because I felt that I would never be able to get revenge against all those who have wronged me (check my kill board, there is been a few).
I took a good look into this and rubbed my dirty miners hands together.
At last a way I can get my own back.
So today I sold my kill rights, all of them, and a few hours after doing so, a notification popped up saying a kill right had been completed.
I checked the kill boards.
My loss, 50m, their loss, 58m.
Victory.
Shortly after members of the pirate corp, threatened to come and find me and kill me. My simple reply, I have deep pockets, for every kill you make on me: I will add as a bounty on your corp, every kill right: I will sell.
I cant fight you, but others can and you will have to lose 5 x my loss for wronging me.
I swear, I could almost taste the pirate tears... Or is that carebear tears?
Now I understand why all them pirates for all these years complained so loudly as soon as there was any threat to their power. It was now time for them to feel like victims.
I have not once, in all of my game time in eve, felt like I had actually "won". I felt like the beaten up bottom of the pile pesant that gets kicked around all fhe time. I didnt make this kill, but it felt like I did and it felt good.
So much so I sent the people on the kill mail a thankyou email and some extra ISK with encouragement to keep up the good work.
Oh revenge is so sweet.
Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others. |

It also completes the CCP motto of this game, every action has a consequence. |

Meh, miners / pirates = cats / dogs.
Can't live together, but in the world of eve still need each other.
Even so, at least I now know, with every gank I suffer, I can still post up them kill rights, and the great circle of eve can continue. |

Totally agree, I'm really happy to see this mechanic now in play, as indi types, we don't have weapons to use as such, but this new system allows us to use other people's weapons.
It gives us some power to cause harm back, it's not the lowsec nerf or highsec buff people have been crying for, it's a system that allows the core game mechanic of Eve the PvP, to expand, it levels the playing field.
It's a really inventive solution and I like it. |

Tbh I hope pirates don't stop what they are doing, it is part of the game after all, but its nice to have a mechanic to get them back. :D |

Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others. Hum, your story sounds vaguely familiar to one that happened earlier today for my corp. Was it us? If so ill get that kill mail posted.
Your corp, no, alliance, not sure. |

All in all, extremely well balanced... with only a few possible minor tweaks to consider here and there.
I really do think this is the key to this whole system, I am still just as much a target as I was before, pirates can still gank me, and they can still gate camp me. It really balances the playing field.

so you tastet pvp and liked it? great! you should try doing it yourself. it feels even better :-)
One day I will, but for the moment I am happy developing my core skills and understanding just how to survive. For me PvP is the penultimate stage before the end game as it were.
For now, Im happy to cash in on people's need for weapons while now at least, funding others activity to fill my agenda. |

"well we weren't going to kill that carrier we tackled but then we got killrights for it so ok"
I think you will find only one person has posted a low sec "revenge" kill. |

I just like the fact I posted the proof and curiously, destiny hasn't been seen on this thread since. |
