Well having read his post again he is actually saying what will everyone do when theres no pirates to kill. So I understand just well thanks.
No you don't. That's the smokescreen to cover the whine. Dig deeper. Exercise those brain cells.
Here, maybe this will help.
Pirates aren't going anywhere and they're in no danger of being nerfed out of existence. What has happened is that CCP made it hard for Ginger to wack helpless targets. Ginger is upset. He liked his old methods for ganking without being in danger. Now he's trying to pretend something bad is wrong and pirates are in danger of being removed from the game unless they are un-nerfed.
Rubbish.
Pirates can still pirate. You can still kill people in Empire and get away with it. But now the game is a little fairer and the pirates have to be a little more cunning. Ginger doesn't want to be more cunning. He wants easy and without danger.
He even said it in his original post. You know, the one I quoted and set key words in bold.
So really, do you think this post is about playing without pirates or is it a Ginger whine about a game change that he doesn't want to adapt too?
If you're going to call sentry guns making it more fair, you MUST consider the fact that they have retardedly good tracking, making it pointblank impossible to use anything small at the gate for piracy. How about the sentry guns go with the times and get tracking? 
IMO piracy was nerfed into oblivion a long time ago compared to what it was. Added to that everyone and his dog uses lots of stabs now. And if you're a clever little bunny in low sec u fit a cloak and simply warp out the second u see a pirate in local, which is remarkably easy to do given that you're announced in local wayyyy before you can even start searching.
Piracy in it's original form is damn near dead, and the agression timer? It can only be aimed at one thing, making piracy 15 minutes more boring, since anyone with half a brain can afford trouble from the locals for 15 minutes.
EDIT: Oh, and it's a little beyond refusng to adapt when a playstyle has been made as hard as 'traditional' piracy has.
Could go on forever about things that made piracy harder, but its about 3:30 am lol.
There, i just contributed nothing to your thread |
