'emergent' gameplay is why CCP has lost subs over the last year. You are right. Actions do have consequences. source that subs are down?

Dave Stark 6395	Posted - 2014.06.20 08:42:00 - [6] - Quote if you're splitting the loot with your scanner and bumper (which, if you're not, you should feel bad because you're a horrible person) then they're not an accomplice, they were simply your customer since you paid them to provide a service.
Dave Stark 6395	Posted - 2014.06.20 08:49:00 - [7] - Quote having half read half of the thread (the repetition and whining is tedious). we've given freighters a straight buff against being ganked, and people are still whining about it... what, exactly, is their outrageous demands this time? if the beloved dumb idea of fittings didn't save their miserable carcasses, what else do they want changed that also won't save them?

Give them an inch and they demand a mile. Why are the allegedly least violent pilots the most offensive? Because they never blow off the steam. CCP should make 5 successful freighter gank killmails a prerequisite to flying one. Would greatly increase average freighter pilot competency and inner joy. sit in a 0.5 choke point system, ***** on miniluv's ganks. "hurr freighter ganking is easy, look at all my killmails"

This, i mean seriously hypocrisy is off the charts. No, this is a hasty generalisation. While I can agree that loyalanon can be a bit of a pissant at times, I've never encountered more bile from anyone other than carebear miners and haulers, one of which dox'd me, and name-dropped family members in a threatening email to my private account, due to butthurt over a wardec where I single-handedly crushed most of the corp in the space of an afternoon, forcing me to remove my real-life identity from the internet altogether, making certain things about my real life a little more complicated. I've never heard of a ganker doing this. because they're too busy laughing at threads like this.
Dave Stark 6405	Posted - 2014.06.20 11:48:00 - [12] - Quote people are still using the "you're driving people away" bull ****, even though subs have been rising for a decade?

WHICH IS IT it's "i will whine and stamp my feet until i get my way, then i'll carry on doing it because i'm a terrible person". they whined long and hard, and got their freighter buff. now they're still whining.

How convenient. Who comes up with this stuff, everyone knows that in EVE the real fight happens before the shooting starts. You stole something, the scanner did no harm to anyone. Thats the difference. hah! right, scanning is far more suspicious and harmful then stealing some veldspar. Of course you don't want suspect flags because an actual fight instead of a gank that pretty much is a guaranteed win scares poor little gankbears. suspect flagging cargo/ship scans won't generate actual fights.
