Therein lies your confusion... We ALL use Null / Lo. It's just not rubbed in your face. But if you investigate the economy, you'll find that ISK and resources flow out of Null & Lo, and finished products flow to Null & Lo. And vice-versa.
Demand for those finished products are driven by the manic comsumption of finished products driven by interminal wars, simmering aggressions, and random blobs blowing each other up. Add to that the constant attrition of barges and gankships, and you've got an interleaved collection of financial, resource, and gameplay ties that inextricably tie Null and Lo to Hi, whether you can see it or not. Whether you like it or not.
You *could* sever that web, and still regenerate some modicum of function. But it would be a very much more-simple, less-rich web of economic and gameplay life. Something akin to Farmville(tm).  I don't play Farmville for a reason - It blows. And EVE, minus Null and Lo, would blow, too. |

Is this how discussions tend to go with you guys? A couple legitimate counterpoints and you just completely disappear from the thread?
No "Oh, I guess that's a good point," or "Well, I didn't think of it that way. Maybe I was wrong." Nothing? Just act like this discussion never took place? |

Truth be told I stopped reading between the time I posted last night and now and only read the most recent page.
Couldn't be bothered reading all that drivel and excuses and rampant posting that they bang away on the keyboard justifying their view never taking into consideration the logic that was presented.
I figured there was a counterargument after my last point last night, but since I presented a Boolean argument, they either have to accept it or claim logic does not exist. Since I was betting they did not accept a logical argument, anything they said was probably not worth reading. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Hrm... Well that was a waste of my time.
If null is in high sec building crap and mining crap, it means they no longer are exclusively null sec.
It means they are dirty high-seccers too.
Which means they are the second part of my Boolean argument. They they are in high sec trading and importing from dirty highseccers because they are high seccers.
I don't know why I even try to convince someone so obviously refuses to see logic.
Anyways, if what you say is true, the null sec are a bunch of high sec carebears too. At least on their alts.

So no, even though null industry remains awful, the alliances still don't need to rely on highseccers and can still keep it all in-house.
Quote:Which means they are the second part of my Boolean argument. No, it means they're in the third category: nullsec alliances that don't rely on resources outside of the alliance, especially not on lone highsec miners.
Quote:I don't know why I even try to convince someone so obviously refuses to see logic. I could say the same. You refuse to see the fallacious and incomplete categorisation you set up to drive your argument, when there are far more categories than the false dichotomy you've set up.

Wait, what?
You are trying to tell me that null sec players are in high sec and don't rely on high sec miners to get their stuff.
But didn't I just say if you are in high sec mining regardless of your alliance, that you are high sec miner.
And are you telling me that no alliance miners mine by themselves if no one else is on? Oh lordy! I must have the support of my entire alliance because I am afraid to mine solo in high sec!
Look you can't be a nullseccer if you are in high sec mining for your alliance. Sure the end goods go into a null sec alliance, but you then and there are a dirty high sec miner.
Are you even reading my words.
If you are in high sec mining anything at all, it means you are a dirty high sec miner.
It doesn't matter if you belong to a null sec alliance and IN FACT i would guarantee that many of those miners that mine for your alliance are in NPC corps to avoid being war dec'd by people like Space Whores.
No only are you showing illogic, but you also showing hypocrisy.

Just so that you know. Domi's are selling about -17% below mineral cost. Which means its more profitable to just sell the minerals on the market.
[edit]
High price is selling -14.18% below mineral cost (sell orders) Low Price is selling at -17.47% below mineral cost (buy orders) "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".

I'm trying to tell you that your narrow categories are tripping you up. In particular, I'm trying to tell you that you've set up categories that didn't even exist, which borders on adding a strawman on top of the false dichotomy.
Quote:And are you telling me that no alliance miners mine by themselves if no one else is on? Maybe, but he's not a lone highsec miner when doing so. He's a part of the alliance GÇö one of their in-house resources GÇö and just because he's passing through highsec doesn't mean he's a highseccer. He falls neatly and effortlessly into exactly the alliance category Haze was talking about.
Quote:Look you can't be a nullseccer if you are in high sec mining for your alliance. Of course you can. Also, if you're mining for your alliance, you're not a GÇ£lone minerGÇ¥ but part of the alliance industry.
So, let's go back to that original statement once more:
GÇ£Alliances have their own resources, in all respects. Trust [Amnesiaa Haze], Alliances do not rely on lone Hisec miners to supply their war efforts.GÇ¥
Neither of these claims contradict the fact that nullsec industry is crap. All three can easily be true at the same time, since alliances can gather the resources they need and manufacture from them without ever having to rely on lone highsec miners or other out-of-alliance resources. Oh, and that's before we even get into options four, five, GǪ, N, which deal with all the other imaginable combinations of locations and uses of personnel, resources, and activities.
So yes, by offering only two options: either null industry is fine, or alliances must be relying on highsec players, you are setting up a false dichotomy. Before you start talking about logic (or lack thereof), you really need to read up on both formal and informal fallacies because they're a pretty important part of the subjectGǪ GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Look. You are not comprehending what I am saying...
Just because you have a toon in an alliance doesn't mean your miner alt is technically part of null-sec.
Not every Nullsec Alt High Sec miner is going to have a mining fleet 24/7 for every operation. They may have alliance members who fleet with them, but certainly this can't be true 24/7.
There has to be at least one alliance member who mines with his high-sec alt by himself. Which means null does rely on some solo-high-sec mining.
Actually I know one... And he mines with dirty high sec miners to get fleet boosts.
And if there is at least one, it means your entire argument is false.
Secondly, you can't tell me that some alliances actually don't buy some minerals or resources from Jita.
Why do all those jump freighters come in and out of Jita?
Are they just showing off their ships? Taunting would be gankers with empty cargo holds?
Are you going to tell me with a straight face that not a single jump freighter ever brings goods from Jita to null sec?
CCP should just remove those silly ships since they aren't doing anything.
And if goods are being bought and brought in from Jita, you are going to say none of that was from pure high-sec industrialists?

You're creating a bunch of categories that were never in question and you fold them into two groups, and set up an either-or relationship between them. I'm saying that no, those are not the categories in question and no, there are more groups than that so it is incorrect to slap an either-or relationship on it. You have created a false dichotomy.
Quote:And if there is at least one, it means your entire argument is false. No, it isn't. The argument would be false if all of them were like that and there were no other options available for their alliances, but they aren't and there are. So they're not relying on him in any way and he's not a lone highsec miner because he's part of the combined (nullsec) alliance's effort to get resources GÇö after all, that's where the minerals go once he's done.
Quote:Secondly, you can't tell me that some alliances actually don't buy some minerals or resources from Jita. GǪwhich, again, was never in question. Of course they will if it's handy, but that doesn't mean they rely on it. If that source runs dry, they have plenty of alternatives to go to.

*sigh* Its like arguing with a four legged animal.
You won't accept logic so this is why it wastes my time.
If at least one null sec member buys any goods from Jita it means they support lone high sec mining. By that I mean they drive the minerals market making it more profitable to be a solo miner.
Sure this might mean that null sec industry needs fixing, but it doesn't mean that null sec industry is 100% self sufficient.
I said plenty of times I accept this argument and that it seems perfectly logical.
If you say to me with a straight face that "no, null sec is 100% self sufficient but does need fixing..." All that means is that you are being greedy wanting CCP to put more isk in your wallets.
If you won't agree that null sec does drive Jita prices in some even miniscule regard which increase mineral prices even a small fraction, I think you are just trolling at this point.
And not worth anymore replies. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Answer my question? Do I need null and low sec to play EVE online? You and Tippia and everyone else have yet to answer that question. It is the whole point of how null and low sec have zero affect on me in game. Because even if null and low sec were removed and no longer existed - guess what I can still play. ZERO impact - ZERO affect. So tell me how null and low sec affect my game. Please, I am listening.
