Ganking miners is what it is, bragging about it however is pretty weak. |

The illusion of safety in High Sec breeds complacency and that's where people step in sh*t. Throw some wardecs in there for good measure, count on people not expecting a fight because they're clueless or unprepared and BOOM ... all of a sudden we get some emergent gameplay. Fight back - we like it rough.
You actually believe High Sec is more dangerous than LowSec or 0.0 because of complacency of all things?
Surely, there aren't hundreds of pilots, right this very moment fluttering about their alliances space in nullsec without a care in the world running their anomalies, praying for a big payday and completely ignoring that neutral character in local.
Surely, there aren't any number of pilots running level 5 missions in their lowsec system of choice, in their super pimped out Marauder or aligned carriers ignoring the single neutral pilot in local waiting to cash in on their relative ignorace; can't light a cyno in my deadspace mission complex.
Most of the players in this game often don't pay attention to small details, and those small details are the ones that spawn ALOD articles, hilarious killboard flame wars and all sorts of other pedantic flaming. Making blanket comparisons between killing a mission runner, a miner, or someones transports ship to taking out a fleet roaming through space are two completely separate things. Bragging about killing relatively defenseless ship, and feeling that joyous overwhelming smug feeling because you just engaged a fleet outnumbered and won, but not only won but absolutely crushed your opponents is completely different on all accounts.
You say Highsec is different from Low-sec and 0.0? Well, I agree with you, nobody in 0.0 or low-sec gives a single iota of **** about anything that happens in highsec, saying it takes more 'skill' because of game mechanics is the most ludicrous thing I've ever seen posted on these hallowed forums.
"Prove it" you say- sure, no problem.
If you kill a dude multi-boxing 50 mackinaws in an ice belt, sure, some people will take notice- a week later your vicious slaughter in the name of CODE. will be forgotten, and nobody will care.
Kill (or lose) 50 Titans however, and CCP will have to reinforce the newbie starter areas for the influx of new players. |

Tell me more about Helicity Boson's Hulk-a-geddon or it's reincarnation under GoonSwarm sponsorship- Or the Ice Interdiction/Burn Jita events largely orchestrated by the Ministry of Love and how these events mysteriously correlate to High Sec (aside from that being the designated killing floor for the events).
All three events were brought to you by Null/Low sec players
Buck Futz wrote:Naturally, CCP did its best to milk those activities for press as well. The difference? Nulsec PL whining only brings ridicule. Carebear whining brings out the heavy-duty CCP nerf cannon.
*cough*Technerf/BargeBuff/Crimewatch
The Tech nerf was long overdue, as was the bargebuff and the crimewatch revamp; which aside from killing can flipping as a viable source of PvP in highsec, were all very well implemented and needed changes.
Nobody was whining about the aftermath of B-R, it was the fight many of us wanted for months (regardless of outcome); and even though we ended up on the short stick, we still killed more titans than had been previously killed in any capital battle. It was literally a win/win for all parties involved.
What have carebears ever whined about that brought any actual change to the game (aside from the Marauder buff, which given the price-tag and relative uselessness of pre-buff marauders was probably a change for the better)? |

I don't think anyone really cares to be honest, I think what you are mis-reading isn't that people are opposed to other people ganking in highsec; people do however get tired of said gankers chestbeating in literally every eve-related forum about how ~elite pvp~ they are because of their knowledge of ~game mechanics~ and how to successfully push a button to scan a ship.
Ganking is what it is, bragging about it is about the most tryhard thing you can do. Literally smug about punching a pacifist. It is however, one of the most legit ways to make isk without grinding your soul away shooting little red boxy things. |

Sadly, the only time CCP ever listens to an idea is if they can use it for either player retention or to boost new player subscriptions.

loyalanon wrote:Jealousy isn't an attractive quality friend.
But I do find it hard to stay humble being a true high sec champion and all. I could see why people would hate on a champion who has embraced the code and accepted James 315 as his savior and is happy.
James315 is a pubbie that writes long winded articles nobody reads.
Ganking miners, again, is what it is, calling yourself a champion is a laughable prospect but, whatever makes you feel important.
The 'CODE' is roleplaying faggotry at it's core.
True Pirates don't live in Highsec.

Why would I ever be jealous of someone I didn't know existed until a few hours ago, and probably won't remember tomorrow?
One day you might be known, but today isn't that day.

lolkillboardstats.
Highsec is the most populated area in the game. It's where the industry is. It's where the market is and trillions of ISK are moved around day after day. I am sure something happens in a place like this that matters.
While I'll concede that industry and trade are sourced almost entirely out of highsec for a vast array of reasons, but the 'PvP' in highsec in the eyes of many, means very little to nothing. Sure The Mittani can give a speech and hundreds of CFC members will show up and gank everything they can, sure Warr Akini will keep the Ministry of Love alive and well profiting off the conplacency of many a freighter pilot, and sure a little swathe of miner bumpers/gankers will go about their regular duties; but to everyone that has left the empty vacuum of terrible gameplay (and even more terrible pilots) that is highsec, nothing that goes on here in relation to PvP means anything to anyone outside of highsec.
Of course this is just my opinion and all, try not to get too bent out of shape about it.
Edit: btw- PL doesn't live in Nullsec. Why I need to keep reiterating that, I'll never know. |
