What I'm hearing is that you refuse to adapt.
Missiles pwning frigs, etc, used to be validation that you, as an "older player" received the battlefield emminence you think you deserve.
Now game balance takes that away and all the sudden there's nothing for "older players to do" with the situation????
Sounds suspiciously like "oh nos, where did my 'i win' button go!"
Actually many "older players" have adapted and thrive in Eve, whatever their pursuit, be it piracy or alliance hugging carebearism. In other games this is true as well. In Everquest and WoW things change and guilds rise and fall not on their equipment level, but on their leaderships ability to adapt and continue to master the next expansions raid encounters, etc.
But to digress a second. This is not a flame. I suspect that you could adapt and still come out on top due to what I perceive your reputation as being. So then the question is, why are you choosing NOT to adapt?

Wow..your guys take that I'm hanging it up..was just saying I was thinking of it..and no I wont sell my acount on ebay..:P but seriously...no I'm not giving it up ..just making comments of what I think is important. Most of you guys looked as me as weak and tired ..I'm not..just trying to play the angles ...if I come back and rip off a ton of corps..or come back as a pirate and gank and get a group together..what will this be worth...then I'll get into the allainces..which pirating has nothing too do with these things..only thus of carebears...I'm still active..and ingame...just been keeping a low profile atm...
I know I can comeback ..at anything..I could keep my solo pirate corp..and roll..or do what I wish as a solo player..but..my corp I keep too my heart..cause its something I born into this eve...as a corp and players of TLS ..some might be young some might be old..some might be good ..some less..but they all have my respect I have there back in whatever there dreams or goals are in eve..and I let my corp do what they wish..I hold no man too my corp...there free..unlike...most corps in eve..that are all about a corp or goals...thus...is why TLS has and will be something that none has seen..or known other within my corp..

To your comments...I have adapted and came and also made thus new tactics of pirating..but still..I dont mind changes..my mold is this ...there are pirates that train and give all there skillz into a elite group of piloting or combat skillz and after years of training they cant solo...now I'm not saying solo is the way to..go but thus is what I was into when I came into eve..knowning I could solo and make it as a pirate in my younger days..Me personally I will always be around..and will make due in tactics..my point is this...when people have trained years of there game into a pirating trade..mainly solo ..why screw them out of what they have gained...I dont speak on myself..I adapted too everything..but I'm a voice to the pirates out there that solo and enjoy ganking because they know they have the skillz and tactics..but still is the balance of a big picture...EvE as the game..doesnt want to put what is due to there elite players too hold there own..I'm not saying making unfair ..just make it fair..seriously....if a 30m SP in bs skillz in a apoc or raven gets jumped by all frigs or elite crus..there should be able to hold there own..due too there time and training..not too lay down too a group of noobs..that just started a few weeks back..and dont know what types of ships are ingame..

Swisher, what CCP is getting at with this "balance" is that this is a Multiplayer game, not a solo game. Also, the reality is that combat when it was basically moving towards BS vs. BS fest was getting extremely boring because other ship types weren't viable alternatives.
What's keeping you from getting in a crow if you are well foundationed in Raven skills? I'm sure your missile skills are well rounded. Or jump into an Eagle or Harpy. Hang around npc soveriegn 0,0 and stock the stations with all sorts of ships. Pick the one that fits the situation and go own some ****z.

Swisher long time,
Sorry to bust your bubble but you always have been and always will be a carebear, from the first time we killed you to the last it was you NPC hunting. That is not the life of a pirate.
If you want to have fun in this game you need to STOP mining/npc'ing/etc......
Otherwise take a few months off to get your interest back.
PS. Stop trying to smack Masta I have flown with both of you and really to compare you two is like comparing Conan to the Donky in Shklek or whatever.

Originally by: swisher Edited by: swisher on 20/04/2006 20:23:12 I have done my wrongs in eve..I have been a carebear in the begining of my days..but came too be a theft and pirate. But thus EvE..now as like alot of alot of my other old timers that I know..have gotten too be old within eve..The guys I know as of my young days made the roads for the noobs pirate too talk smack etc..etc.
But I'm not here too talk smack or give you my hardcore side...just to talk honestly...I've givent thought of this lately..even with my billions and dreads and everything I wanted..I have gottened..not all the time fairly ..but still..I have gain. *hence pirate..is a title..used by many but only honored by the few of the older days when you had to make your own with one character...
I'm thinking of seriously retiring my account due too I'm tired of eve unless they come up with something new..Older players..know what I'm talking about..I've been here since beta..since 2003 the ones that have been ingame at that time know what I'm talking about carebear or not...I roleplay each side..you have me on my pirate hardcore character now but also shows I have a carebear side that was input into me in the beginning..but turned cold as I got raped and taking advanage of in my younger days of eve..
So my question too the public ..new or old..should I give up on a dream that I had with eve when I first played..as a noob and lonely miner..shafted..then molded into a pirate ..thus some I have ganked..some I have stolen ..all in roleplay of the mold I was made in when I came into eve as a noob 3 years ago.
I still hold too my pirate ways..cause some of the best people you will know and understand in eve friendship level is pirates..if you get to know real one ..not just fakes..that feed off of the rep of others that made the roads that so many take...
...I want to know if there is any of my kind for eve now..we have grown since my younger days of eve when we had 10k on and that was awesome..but still with our skillz there isnt a balance...on a pvp look at it ..if we go out in a bs..max skillz and get ganked..by 2 frigs only a year old...what is it too use..the balance between the old and new is thus my question...
There seems to be nothing with the older players in eve..back in the day we could take on frigs..with missles or torps..now we cant..cause we cant hit them..even with max drones skilz..yeah you can bs me and say change your setup..but that bs..if you have 35m SP chatacter...against a 10m character you should have the upper hand...even in a bs...
I'm tired of this..if I wanted to play like this I would had gone into WOW..but I didnt..cause I beleive in eve thus my time has shown..and my honor of my corp I roll.
Let me know your thoughts..good or not..I'll listen and give you my honest thought on it..

Tbh swish I think a lot of the vets have felt the same way atleast once. We naturally lose our drive for the game, take breaks and come back but it's never the same.
Things change but tbh imo the best thing is to get somebody to really tick you off, to get you back in the game to give you that fuel for your fire. Gives you a nice goal to make somebodies life miserable ingame ofc 
but yeah dunno if this is what you wanted to hear but yeah a lot of old vets have felt the same. Most of my old friends from m0o have left the game, or for the most part spread out within evolution, FZN, and a few other places.
like i said dunno if its what u wanted but yeah, gimme a shout ingame if you want a good time.

Originally by: Famine Aligher'ri When I die and get my ass handed to me. Then I know there is only one explination for that. It was my fault...
So you say being you have elite skills in tanking why should frigate noobs gank you ship. The question is not how they did it. It's why you let them do it. Eve is one of the most skill intensive MMORPG's I've played where it's not gained through clicking. It's gained through paying attention...
EVE is not a default win because you played since beta. You got to work for it
I'm not trying to sound mean or smacktalk you but your whole outlook seems like you should be given something because you have played for a very long time. You sound like you tried to work for it but you failed somewhere along the line and now demanding a prize because you came from beta. It just doesn't work that way. Eve is pretty balanced, if you died to noobs then guess what. You're not all that good as you think you are. It's sucks to think it but really it's just a game. I suck compared to a lot of people. That doesn't stop me from playing. Just motivates me to become better without being from beta
Please someone stop me if im wrong...
Signed. Fly safe!

So you can log your npc ship out in the middle of a belt for what... the third time?
So you can hide inside a station from me even when you have 2 people vs me alone?
If you were a pirate you'd have gotten the point and shut up by now. --------------------------------------

want some cheese with that WHINE. You complain that 2 people with 5 million kill you with 35 million? Ya its called 2vs1, its called tactics, If you think it be a good idea that you guys can own 2 or more of us without breaking a sweat or loosing then this game shouldnt be fit for you. Your sounding like a WOW character. I got a Idea how about hunt in packs with a jammer lol.

The game still has many flaws but all in all it's more balanced now than it's ever been. I'm glad there isn't ever a point where you effectively turn on 'god mode' and become elitest like WoW or similar lvl'd games.
Cba to log in to my old character but over the last 3 years I've taken 2 lengthy breaks and it's does wonders tbh. Perhaps that's what you need

So what I understand, you want 'older' players to become even more stronger then recentlt started guys, in a game without shards and non-consensual PVP?

Shamis, the best way to explain is: "It's swisher".
That of course entails that he will be pwned by 2 frigs and that him fighting 1 vs 3 bs's is a funny, yet sad lie. --------------------------------------
