What is the problem then?

Cool, do we get a secret decoder ring and learn a funny handshake?

The only thing that could possibly spell the end of CODE is making the rest of the game as interesting as Hisec.

Right now, CODE has a monopoly on player training, resources, content generation, and media-attention.

It keeps its players happy by giving them resources, purpose, a narrative, and an amusing blog.

Blue sec is boring to most people; entry barrier is huge and power is too sequestered. Most people can do is be a renter.
Low sec has its moments, but there's lots of effort involved.

You can never defeat what is essentially a consequence of the entire rest of the game. Long live CODE.

Shooting miners that don't shoot back is interesting?

Yeah sure, cowardice and hypocrisy are required to be a good codie (lookup gankerbumping)

No thats what Jimmy tells his codies, but thats not true. There are other much more Just naming the goons and RvB. But since they usualy dont operate very much in highsec, you probably cant understand.

goons even train the own miners...

It keeps the griefer club happy, mostly guys that are unable or to big cowards to go on roam and lose ships. They are to afraid that their killboards will show a lot of losses.
Again check out gankerbumping.blogspot.com, that guy goes on roams together with loyalanon!

Got you!
At least a honest griefer!
You want effortless kills!
You are a griefbear!
You want a button to press and then you get a killmail.
pfff

Thank you for the insights that you gave us jimmy crtitcs!

Every suicide ganker loses his ship to CONCORD after the gank and that loss will show up on the killboard. So not sure what you are trying to say here.

More than that, many of our targets take more than one catalyst to kill, so we pretty much accept that our ships lost will generally hover around double what our ships killed is.

If they produce so much quality content generation, why do a number of goons/CFC roll with CODE? Maybe because bluesec is so boring. Show me one other blog that generates half as many hits as minerbumping.com. All I need to make an impact (for better or worse) in CODE is 2 weeks of SP and a catalyst provided free. Propaganda aside, how many capitals and SP does someone need to make a difference in null, outside of scams and awoxes?

As a side note, every noob is precious, even in null sec. One goon hero's first words in EVE were, "I've got a point on the moros... and 7 days left on my trial account."

It's all about perception, and how the alliance nutures rookies. The other half of the map wants self-sufficient pvpers who know what they are doing. That also often translates into a proliferation of highsec alts. Cue highsec ganking, and it's just a continuation of the goon narrative of rookies and space communists holding veterans at their mercy.

Though it makes for good theater and an even better anecdote, how often does that really happen?

Obviously you personally are not responsible for the game mechanics nor the human nature that has resulted in bluesec. If such daring tales of becoming 'the guy' that tackles the dread were so common, I would have a hard time believing that CODE will continue to enjoy success on as many fronts - why anyone would want to gank miners or even freighters when there are actual fun fights to participate in? This leads to the logical conclusion that such occurrences are in fact rare, which is no surprise because...well bluesec is blue. You've cleaned out all the natural, legal game from your once lush reserve, filling it only with unpalatable renter-swine, so you come to hisec to feed on the only things you can.

It's not that hard to avoid being ganked. Really.

This, ladies and gentleman, is what happens when you send your offspring to an Amarr college instead of a reputable Gallente institute.

Can I get an English translation please?

Sure, but first lose that confused looking avatar.


P.S. You look like you just got back from Mexico City for the first time.
Or so the holoreels say.

CODE's punishment will not go unheeded. As they seem to value suicide instead of an honest fight they should be issued Penance Permits. Penance Permits allow CODE to commit a single Suicide Gank's in a system so that their souls will be returned to the station in one piece so that they may continue to purchase Penance Permits.

We all know that suicide is a sin and as such the sinner shall be made to pay their penance in its lofty ISK value.

Remember suicide ganking is a sinners chore and all sinners must have a permit to commit such an act against theirself.

If they buff skiffs any further our isk spent might become more than our isk killed. But it still will not stop us.

Eventually the rest of New Eden will tire of CODE and when that happens everyone from FW to Independents will merge to destroy CODE. It will happen because the history of humanity has always proven that those who rise to glory and fame through extortion always suffer the same fate that got them to their high mountain tower above everyone else as those below them will use the same tactics to get theirself to tower on high.

CODE can only rise so high before the structure weakens and the top crashes to the bottom thus making those under the leadership of CODE extremely wealthy as they salvage the losses from their leaders.

Jonah, you're on a roll with the hilarious, yet on-topic images today. :)

We aren't committing suicide, we just sacrifice a ship. Our pods return home safely, should they fail to reach home safely, it must be because of other players killing them, not due to suicide.

Ah but it is suicide my lovely CODE Nymph for the simple matter of fact that those operating the ship outside of the Capsuleer theirself are killed during the gank attack and do not return home thus showing that CODE does not have any regards for the crews of the ships they use in their ganks.
