Well now, seems there is a new trend in eve. Some people just cannot stop griefing other players. Used to be lag out jump in points and gank them before they load, now its gank them in high security.
Yea thats right. I got nailed today, corp wallet went from half a billion to zero in ten seconds in a .9 security system.
Lets get somthing strait flamers and pvpers everywhere, im only 50% carebear, often times you can find me up around Jan with some corp mates PvPing or killing anything we think we can by with.
Im not a idiot either, nor am I greedy. I trade always for my and my corps ISK and it is normal for me to stop in a busy system if I am going low sec and hire anyone to scout ahead of me in a shuttle. I play the game the way its supposed to be played, exploring my options and acting on them to take every precaution available.
Now two days ago a gank was attempted on me in a .9. I survived and I thought to myself, what can I do to protect myself and my cargo from this. Scouting is not a option because you have no idea who it is that will attempt it on you, and in busy systems there is always five or six people at a gate. Tougher ship is not a option because there is no cargo room. Gunships obviously are not help because ive already got the best gunships and in huge numbers protecting me (its nice to be on concords side) Insta's dont help me from the jump in point untill I warp so thats out (not like I can get a insta for every station in every system anyway). So I armor tank when I have pricy stuff and cross my fingers.
Well, needless to say it didnt help. two torpedoes still left me in a pod (my entire can blew up btw, no loot atall) and the ravens can sitting 17k away from me.
Okay, so now I got blown up. A simple search of who did it and ofcourse she is in a NPC corp. Ive got kill rights, I suppose that before the rights expire I might run into this person agian. And with anymore luck I will not be in a indy, although this is unlikely as like I said I am a trader. Chances are she will be in a bs as she can afford to throw them away like toilet paper. I will be sure to engage and seek my revenge.
I decide to petition it, as this player is using the high security to protect themselves and give themselves a unfair advantage.
Typical CCP responses, its all your fault, they didnt do anything wrong etc. This I have heard before, numorous times since release. A new trend in exploitation rises up, gets popular and then a new expansion comes with a fix for it. Untill then its screw everyone that gets exploited hurray for the griefers.
Flame away. I know its coming. But I feel slightly better now that I have vented for 10 minutes typing this out.
I used to have a nice sig but it keeps getting removed by somone with no explanation. Typical isnt it. |

Tougher ship IS an option: there are frieghters and t2 indies.
Thats your suggestion? A frieghtor or a tech 2 industrial ship!?
So people are supposed to stay in there 1.0 system untill they have the skills to use these things?
As for using high security that is exactly what they are doing. I would fly two ew ships infront of me and dampen/jam people at gates if I could, but I cant.

You know usually if you wipe away all the laughing at people, insults, and stupidity of the crime and punishment board you can find usefull information on how to stay alive or PVP.
What I find interesting is that the only suggestion here is to fly a tech2 or get a frieghtor.
Agian I dont think a tech2 indy can tank a volley of torpedoes coming from skilled pilot in a raven, and a frieghtor well thats for people that have been playing for a long time.
Agian I say it is a exploit, there is no way a pilot can protect themselves from this.
This will be fixed in one way or another once it becomes popular and enough people get ****ed, I have seen it several times before. That being said this is getting popular.

This topic has been done to death. So much good advice has been given out (and ignored) in so many similar topics.
Im still waiting.

My god, everyone that suggested a tech2 indy is dense as a boulder of scordite floating in space. It takes 30 days to learn your indy five 30 days blockheads.
Do you expect everyone to spend thirty days doing nothing so you can exploit the loopholes?
God you all make me sick sometimes.

You want to blow ships up go to low security. Jesus does CCP have to hold everyones hand and make your ships unable to lock target on anyone your not a war with or has not stolen your cargo can floating in space?
Learn some responsibility and get with the program.
