I love the pro-pvp posing. I doubt there is anyone who pvp's "full time" who doesn't do some form of carebear activity. If they don't that's because they get ships replaced, payed for by members who do pve activities.

Most of that activity occurs either in safe null or high sec. The majority of that in highsec.

You can argue all you like about what I'm going to say next but that activity has to be done in relative safety or its not going to be done at all. No safety, no subscriptions to run the servers, no pvp.

75% of players are in high sec. Don't tell me that they're 3 of the each null seccers alts because that's bs. PvE primarily is what keeps this game afloat.

...see, I actually have a life.

War declared on OP because I can...

Incorrect (as usual). 75% of CHARACTERS are in high sec, many of them enslaved isk-alts like mine. PvE is useful, it brings isk and items into the game.

GǪit's only 65% (trending downwards) actually, last we saw any numbers on it.

So the number of highsec players could easily be some 30% or so (which, incidentally, matches neatly with 73% of players liking nullsec gameplay).

Let's take a hypothetical game, we'll call it "EBE Online". This game has consistently for ten years running been generally unremarkable in every classic metric for measuring mainstream videogames. However, EBE Online has one defining characteristic that distinguishes it from all other mainstream games, we'll call this hypothetical characteristic " emerbent gameplay". Despite being consistently mediocre or worse in all the usual characteristics of videogames, EBE Online manages to consistently survive and generally grow year after year for a decade while almost every other mainstream game dies in flames around it.

Who in their right mind would look at this situation and suggest that dumbing down emerbent gameplay is the key to unlocking greater success for EBE Online?

Good morning, Tippia. I see that you've brought your sense of humor today.

In EvE, blowing up someones 100 million hulk, or 6 billion jump freighter incurs the equivalent of a parking fine, since the sec loss is so small and so easily fixed, and the cost is 98% less (it cost 5000% more isk to gank in 2009) then it was when these ships came out.

They have to balance ganking against subscription loss.

Ahhhh so thats whats shes going for.

Ahhhh so thats whats shes going for...my bad.

No, that's what I was going for. I think Tippia and I would both prefer it if miners got off their asses and hunted people down instead of creating these threads ad nauseum.

why not afk mine and watch local. I mean avoid being ganked is easy.

you got a mobile local app or so? cause when im afk i really dont see local ever

So as I jump in on page 9, I admit I am a little late to the party. It seems to be a party some of my handiwork created as well. To answer a couple of questions about how this all came to be:

You've seen my fit. I also use a fit with ions and a point sometimes.
I don't use implants.
I always overheat.

The thing no one is considering when trying to calculate my DPS is that I have something far more powerful than implants in my head; my love for The Code. Every barge I fire on has the power of not just my guns, but the soul of the whole New Order exiting the barrels in a fiery report and hurtling in their direction. That is never going to show up on a killmail, but I feel it with every salvo.

Piekura knows me pretty well. Sometimes when the ice belt spawns they put in a jamming ship. Most of my work is done alone, and when that jamming ship is there and the pilot is on the ball, I am 100% shut down in my ability to kill anything except my own ship. I am not complaining, this is how it should be . . . I should be able to have a reasonable crack at the miners and they should have a decent shot at stopping me if they chose to do so. I do and they do.

Game balanced. Was a fun weekend Piekura. I love this game.

Gankers are parking boosting ships in systems which remain neutral making there pods almost impossible to catch. I would like to see these boosting ships become viable targets evening the playing field.

they aren't even playing the game.

For the life of me...I can't figure out why anyone gives a s**t.

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.

Maybe you need some "clarifications" as to how bad of a person you are.
