If that was your Retriever I ganked last night in Sinq, I'm sorry. It was necessary to help lower my sec status. You see, I aspire to be flashy red at some point.

Huehuehue wrote:How are the two scenarios different? You kill a missioneer in lowsec because you can, no consenqunses = it's okay even though the guy probably feels bad. I kick your ass without anyone seeing = no consenquenses, you feel bad, but hey it's still okay.
There are consequences, however, if the missioner has the balls to come back and look to kill me in return.
Most missioners/miners don't bother. They go away and sulk, log out for the night. They don't have the nads to fight for what they have in the game.

You're probably not THAT old, don't sell yourself short. I'll give you a hint, I'm younger than Malcanis and old enough to remember playing SWOTL on a 286. My first comp was a TRS-80.

This is pretty much a crock of ****. EVE is a very different sort of game, digital anarchy if you will (anarchy from an anarchist's point of view rather than the mainstream media's "total chaos"). There are rules, but you very much follow the laws of the jungle.
When playing my "main" I am a ruthless samurai and a complete **** in high-sec. I love the quick 1v1 of honorable frigate combat (and surprisingly, I love losing as much as winning. KMs are for idiots) as much as I love ruining someone's night.
When playing my "alt" and making money, I stay out of other people's business and skulk around on the fringe of society. I would only defend my boat, no reason to stir the pot.
EVE is a game. You can change your play style just like changing a coat.

I am literally going to gank five different player's Retrievers tonight because of this thread.

That makes destroying it all the sweeter.
You're playing a game where anything you fly can be destroyed and you are complaining and judging people specifically because they are destroying those things. You really need to be playing another game.
I buy a PLEX every so often and also pay a subscription. I don't have a lot of time to grind and I don't make a lot of money. OTOH, I don't take it hard if I lose a ship, or multiple ships. If I ran out of ships on both accounts, I would buy another PLEX or tough it out in a n00b ship until I could afford a frigate. This is all part of the game.
As for why I left my morality at the door? I'll make it simple: Because I can. And I'm a ******* saint compared to most of the people who play according to your terms of morality.

Justin Credulent wrote:The fact is, you're a real person and your real actions affect other real persons.
This is very true. Those other real people either need to HTFU or play another game. The mechanics of EVE do not prevent me from destroying your property. Whether I do so in real life or not makes no difference. I choose when and where to destroy things, and other people can choose to do the same to me in game or IRL.
It's just that IRL the consequences are very real. In EVE, you are really only losing space-cash.
Try to keep some perspective.
Justin Credulent wrote:All this "I'm not like this in real life, I'm just a douchebag in a game, so it doesn't count cuz it's just a game on the Interwebs" doesn't fly. If you are a douchebag in the game, then you are a douchebag, period.
Also true. I actively troll while operating a motorized vehicle.

Just look at the reaction, this epic face of dawning comprehension and you are doing the same as the other guy: laughing your f.cking ass off. And you will do the very same face when you get back to your keyboard and see that you have been ganked and just imagining it does the same as watching the video, its fun. Twisted fun, but humans are like this - you as well, you can-Št deny you laughed when seeing this. lol, sadly my stage electrician instincts would instantly kick in and my buddy would get clubbed across the room with a 2x4 or whatever bulky wooden object was readily at hand.... to save his dumb life of course.
Thus making the video even funnier.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was agreeing with you? Obviously this is too heated of a discussion for you. You should really relax and mine some blue ice. It'll help.

PLEX is a part of the sandbox. Prove me wrong. Maybe in another thread so this one isn't derailed from its retardedness.

If it worked as you stated, PLEX wouldn't exist (and I'd still be playing; you didn't read all of my statement or chose to selectively ignore parts of it).
However, PLEX does exist. You can buy it with RL cash, the same I use to pay for two subs. You can trade it on the "sandbox" market. Some people use it to essentially play for free. CPP endorses this. Whether you like the fact that i can spend my RL cash to avoid a grind or not, the item is being used as intended in the "sandbox as envisioned".

MeestaPenni wrote:If your mind set is that you can simply re-ship and re-fit via some cash and a couple of PLEX.....you're no longer playing in a sandbox......you're playing an arcade shooter. And your post stated you were perfectly willing to do that.
Awesome, I guess I'm playing an arcade shooter. How does that change the rules of the game?
MeestaPenni wrote:How you choose to pay for a subscription to play the game is not part of the "sandbox". That's ludicrous to think so.
But you can pay for a subscription by using the sandbox. And you can buy ISK using RL cash by using the sandbox. So you can choose how to pay for a sub by using the sandbox. If I had more RL time to play this game, I'd probably try playing for free. Since I don't, I figured I'd let someone else make the ISK and pay their sub for a month every so often.
