A fleet of with Macs and Orcas in high have Concord protecting them from PvP even in 0.5,

"highsec is there for a reason"?

Pretty sure that reason isn't "mine endlessly in complete safety".

You might want to drop a ticket so a GM can answer that, but I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that you aren't safe anywhere in EVE unless you're docked. Idk where, just popped into my head for some reason.

If you fly a non combat ship, you have abdicated the ability to defend yourself.

It is also stated nowhere that highsec is where "lazy, bored gankers go to get their kicks", yet it's a reality... you may be the exception, since you gank everywhere as you said yourself, but there are others that take the easiest route to get their thrills.

Nah, plenty of ships that dont have combat as their primary roles can defend themselves.

Abdication of personal responsibility is the fault of the pilot, not of the ship manufacturers

You are woefully out of place in this competitive game. You should be playing a game that only offers 'co-op' style play and that has solid rules and mechanics against competition and 'griefing'.

"Defend yourself" meaning "shoot back" in this instance.

As opposed to highsec, where it means "tank enough to not die before the invincible all powerful space police arrive".

NOTE --> I'm probably (still) effing up the maths, since i'm doing this on the fly, rather than with a good tool (yay work).

I, again, have to respectfully disagree... EVE is not "just" a competative game, it's also a cooperative game... it's a sandbox non the less, not a MOBA or dedicated e-sports game. Granted, basically everything in EVE is a cometition of some sorts, but without cooperation it would be non existent...

That, of course, also means: EVE is what players make of it...

I ask you, Shalua Rui, if you feel the way you obvioulsy do, WHY are you playing EVE instead of Star Trek Online or some other game where people like Kaarous can't do what they do?It makes no sense to me. Personally, if i didn't like being tackled, the LAST thing I'd do is strap on pads and walk onto an American football field.

EvEs core mechanics =/= problems

I'll answer in a second, but first: It's not just "me" I'm writing about here... actually, it's not really me at all, since I have had my play style for close to 10 years now, and I never had any problems with the game or it's community, whatsoever... I mean, in all my years, I only lost 4 ships (my own fault), and I never been podded once... what I'm talking about is the problems the game has. The prolblems that CCP seam to be unabe to fix (s they just ignore them call them emergent gameplay ), the problems that make EVE a nieche product that the general populus perceive as either a toxic playground for virtual sociopaths or/and speard sheets in space.

So, why do I play it? Because I'm fiercely in love with it... I love the mood, the style, the lore, the people I choose to play with, the theory crafting and fiddling with ships, the industry and the markets... no other game has that.

That's why they are redone every now and then... uhu.

So let me rephrase. Why do you put up with things you obviously hate when you could be playing other (almost) as in depth games that also mechanically prevent the things you obviously hate?

I hate people picking on other people...

that's my baseline... I would have to stop living if I would try to avoid that. I can't have it, I can't enjoy it, and I can't understand other people that do... not even in a game. *shrugs*

Why do I want EVE to be more popular? Because it's a good game that turns many people off with it's general unfriendlyness, and (certain parts) of the community are as much to blame for that then CCP... difference is, CCP seams to be willing to learn... sometimes.

Here you go.

If you let in the muggles, it wont be a good game anymore

I came to EvE because of the lack of WoWheads and CoDKids, not inspite of it

I'm pretty sure there a plenty of the latter in certain corps...

...and no, no other game has exactly what EVE has ...yet.
