Quote:Unlike the carebears, who cloak everything they do in perpetual hypocrisy and deceit, I am a man of honour. I have always been open and honest about my intentions. Most reasonable residents of highsec describe my leadership style as "tough, but fair." In my experience, many miners are completely oblivious to what is going on in EVE, and are apt to repeatedly ask me the same questions about why I am bumping them out of mining range. Out of fairness, and for the sake of convenience, I provide the following FAQ to the miners in New Order territories, as well as potential investors in the company.
This guy is so full of it it's not even funny.
Clearly this disgusting group of people are in it purely for isk, but they cloak this in good intentions saying they are doing the game a world of good and they change people. And who appointed these thugs EVE police, hmmm? What "right" do they have to tell anyone what they can and cannot do and how they should play the game? Oh.. That's right. Might makes right.
But this is pure racketeering. Extortion. Give me 10 mil isk or I blow up your ship!
Back in Ukraine where I was born this was called paying for "roof". A group of thugs would approach a businessman, and tell him that a world is a dangerous place and they will provide protection for only a small percent of all his profits. If the businessman would refuse, his place of business would burn, or his supply truck would be sabotaged, or driver would get killed, or something much much worse.
In RL, people have found ways to deal with these things. That's why there' police. The businessman calls police and thugs get arrested and go to jail. In EVE, police takes long enough to arrive for the criminals to do their thing, and doesn't actively go after these criminals after a certain time expired or certain conditions have been met. I'd like to see gankers keep doing what they do if concord would actively hunt them 24/7, in every solar system, in every place of the galaxy including inside stations. ; )
These people can make a nice website with "code of honor" and all that BS, but I wonder why even bother? Too much time on their hands? Practicing HTML/CSS? Oh wait, it sounds better to say "We're saving EVE" than to say "we racketeer people for money".
It's funny how these people say: "Don't mine in a ship with expensive mods" "Don't use expensive implants" "Fit your ship properly to resist ganks".
My answer? "Don't gank people". "Just leave them alone to be boring, annoying carebears. It's none of your business how people play the game and what they do". "It's not your place to teach people what they should or shouldn't do."
Oh wait.. But you CAN tell people what you do, AND enforce it. Because some folks have a full time job and I actually work for their money, and I some are in college, and EVE thugs have a lot more time than other people do, or more money. Perhaps because that money comes easier to them? I don't know. The point is it doesn't even matter.
What matters is that CCP supports scum like this. Hey, they are only hurting themselves. When people cannot do the things they like in a game they may quit out of frustration. But wait.. What makes me any more of a valuable customer than a scumbag Goon? We're both paying $15, right?
Well, the Goon will play the game regardless, because he has the time to waste. If he cannot gank a miner, he'll gank a hauler. If he cannot harass these people he'll do some PvP. He wont take limitations personally. His feelings wont be hurt(at least not for long). But someone who only plays EVE to mine, or to trade or to do missions, wont necessarily adjust and overcome because of the lack of time, and lack of desire to learn something new. That person just might kick the proverbial can down the road.
After all, who the hell are Goons or anyone else to tell that trader or miner that they should stop doing the same damn boring, stupid activity they enjoy and start "adjusting" to gankers or whatnot? Why not do something much easier and start banning people for any form of harassment? This way those who want to fight will go back to 0.0 where they belong, and those who want to just sit in space and strip roids will do that. Everyone will be happy. Except for maybe the gankers. But that's ok, cause they can always go back to 0.0 and enjoy their life. |
