Some of the most racist, homophobic and generally hateful things I've ever read on the internet have come directly from a freshly exploded mission runner. Specifically mission runners too, not miners, not incursioneers (who tend to just be self-important blowhards more than anything) nor industrialists.
They also appear to be the people who have the biggest difficulty separating reality from fiction, regularly causing people who like to shoot at spaceships in a game about people flying armed spaceships of being sociopaths, rapists, murderers etc, often to then go on to threaten myself/family/pet with physical violence.
My extensive personal experience with shooting highsec carebears has made is very apparent to me that assuming that carebears are all normal, well adjusted human beings with healthy attitudes towards playing a computer game is a terrible mistake.
Hell of all the highsec griefers I know I can only think of a couple who are totally batshit mental, but every other carebear seems like they may as well be on meth. |

Highsec PVP being easy mode is why it's such a common occurrence on these forums for lowsec folks to tell highsec dwelling newbies who're asking what to do about wars that they shouldn't bother fighting because [Some Game Mechanic] makes it impossible to beat highsec griefers. |

Just being able to see other player ships in space, even without the overview would offer some utility as an intel tool, you could abuse that, particularly if you no longer showed up in the overviews of other players and even moreso if they can cloak too.
Because meta the ability to do anything at all in the same environment as other players and observe or interact with them in any way is likely to give a character PVP utility. Even if no intent to use that utility for PVP purposes exists the perception that a character could be being used for that purpose could create a situation where a character that has no actual ability to directly affect other players in the game at all and is barely visible is still engaging in a PVP activity because other players are perceiving that character as acting against them.
Pretty much a non-pvp character would have to not have any means of observing, being observed by or interacting with any other character (or any information resulting by actions by characters) in the game. |
