Out of context quoting means you're cool. Oh, and I give a hoot because I am tired of all the complaining from someone who didn't even bother to attempt to defend themselves, how I shouldn't have been able to kill them in the first place. Last I checked, I didn't sign up for Hello Kitty Online Adventure.
Hard to be out of context when the quoted portion is the context of your post. It kind of looks to me like you are in fact playing a game much easier and gentler than Hello Kitty Online Adventure. You're playing a game against opponents that aren't even at the keyboard.
How much simpler can it get?

Empowering other players to actually understand and play the game is always fun.
You have the cause and effect backwards.
What miners often "self-impose" is solitude. The "victimhood" is thrust onto them from gankers. Ergo, no ganking = much less whining.
And using the phrase "empowering" may be the single most condescending and/or patronizing choice of words, ever.
Hyperbole...share it whenever you can.

But they do have the right to express incredulity in the aftermath of an utterly pointless game activity. It has nothing to do with the actual gameplay but is solely justified with metagame reasoning. Ganking will do zip to change the game environment.
It is nothing more than childish bullying in an aptly named "sandbox."
I read the forums....and here, it's the gankers with the whine meter pegged at "shut the hell up."

Tippia wrote:No, the GÇ£victimhoodGÇ¥ is deliberately chosen by the miners in their decision not to learn how the game works, not to learn the tools at their disposal, and not to adopt any kind of security strategies. The supposed solitude is just one rejection of those tools, but that still leaves an entire box full of them.
GǪin fact, if they chose solitude, specifically, rather than just ignoring the whole multiplayer bit of of the MMO, they would no longer be victims.
Every bit of that is simply justification to bully a select group of players. There is nothing in the ToS, EULA, or subscription status, that states every player must learn and utilize every single aspect of the game. Nothing.

Really? Maybe it's just early and you need some more coffee or something.

How about if those assets are lost as a result of something more meaningful than, "I don't like the way you play the game."? I have a lot of sympathy for people who are the victims of what are no more than bullies.

Because then you, as an experienced industrialist, will be handed a dramatic advantage by hampering the "entry to market"......courtesy of CCP?

"Many"? Who are they? Good girls don't kiss and tell. Lets just say, there are entirely too many people who will happily sell a miner a new Retriever on one char, then gank it on the other. I mean, why not do it? There's no secret miner code. It's not like the Brotherhood of Industrialists will take away blueprints. Hell, a huge, huge chunk of our intel comes from other miners diming people out. "Hey man, saw you were operating in the area. Could you come over and gank Miner X. I want him out of this roid belt so I can get the good ore. Kthnx BFF 4lyfe."
Here's how that works then......
There are zero New Order gankers selling mining equipment. See how that works? You make stuff up....I say pfft, and blow it off.

Do honesty a favor and go back up thread a bit and apply that tone to the New Order poster claiming "many" corp members are selling mining equipment. Then promptly refusing to back up the claim with zero numbers or evidence.
Gankers are no more than school yard bullies. The game-play is no more honorable than that.

I have a valid, giant argument.
"Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively to impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power." (Ask and you shall receive)
Cited
Gankers are bullies with exactly the same motivations and influences as the school yard bully picking on perceived weaknesses.

(Ask and you shall receive)Cited So apparently, miners are bullies too. After all, they habitually use threats and coercion to try to impose domination over others, and are of the perception that they are in an imbalanced position of strength in terms of social power. Fancy that. Quote:Gankers are bullies with exactly the same motivations and influences as the school yard bully picking on perceived weaknesses. [citation needed]
The comedy just keeps flowing in this thread.

I'm guessing their main selling point may have just become, "Tippia ain't playing"?
