I'm quitting for a completely different reason, yet in a way, it's somewhat related.
I like to PVP, but have found it ever more difficult to actually get a fight. I do not mean that I cannot find engagements. What I mean is that many of those engagements are not fights. Some common "leet" things I run into:
1. Everyone's favorite ship, the falcon - Nothing like being completely unable to do anything. Best case here is being able to flee with your tail between your legs. So here we have run away, if possible (no fight) or die being unable to do anything whatsoever (no fight). This relates to ECM in general, the falcon of course being the biggest ridiculousness.
2. The age old gate camp - A pain in the butt of the past, which seemed to disappear somewhat, is back in full force. I normally don't mind most gate camps, but there seems to be more and more of the insta-lock, multiple web/scram variety. Again, you end up being almost completely unable to do anything. Gate burn? Nope, you are moving at 10m/s. Warp off? Web/scrammed upon decloaking. Fight back? Only if you have numbers.
A. Can also include the fun of number 1, which makes this super awesomely fun.
B. Alpha gate camps totally eliminating the only viable option you have, which would be fight back.
3. Off-grid boosting leetness - Nothing like seeing all these parked booster alts. I love getting pointed at 40km, and then having some form of electronic warfare make be unable to do anything, but futilely try and evade the boosted players leet skills. Again, no fighting here.
Add to that the slow wasted time of actually jumping a series of gates to find a fight, only to run into one of the above situations where you cannot actually fight, but instead, the best case scenario is to get away, makes for nothing more than a waste of time.
It's become so annoying, that while I have about a year's worth of plex sitting around, so I could keep the sub open w/o paying a dime, I just don't see the point.
And in closing, no, you cannot haz my stuff. |
