You have a summary of all human behaviour right there. It's no different at work, politics, religion, marriage. People behave a lot less maturely and a lot less intelligently that we actually think we do. We are in constant denial of our basic instincts which push us towards behaviours we know we're not supposed to indulge in but do it anyway. Because it feels good.
EVE is certainly no different. It's a canvas upon which we paint behaviour we'd like to imitate in real life, but can't. So you want to run a multi-billion industrial conglomerate. I bet you that you don't do that in real life. Although you'd like to. Me I like to go around building things and killing people. I can't do that in real life either. Both are valid playstyles. I don't have a problem with you and you don't have a problem with me.
Until you tell me I have to sit in front of rocks and mine or shoot red crosses, and that I'm not allowed to kill you. It's like if I told you that you have to go shoot people. No, you go your way, I'll go mine, and our paths will probably cross at the opposite ends of a gun or a trade transaction. |

Sometimes the grass _is_ greener on the other side. Speaking as a person who has switched sides, I mean. |

Seems to me that ships get popped quite often in that "risk free" environment of nullsec. Much more than in any other location in EVE, in fact. I know I certainly go through a lot more ships than I did. The NAPs exist because absolutely everyone is fed up of grinding SOV, it's a stupid mechanic, it takes too long, and timers are always at the most inconvenient times, not because we don't want to fight.
The big blue donut exists because alliances want passive rental income, and they won't get it if their renters are getting blapped every week. However thanks to jump bridges and titan bridges, a fight is never more than 10 minutes away. |
