But we people who choose to focus on things other than destructio (and keep Eve running in the process) have no way to fight back! Not just that, but it's worse: those doing productive things are actively helping the destroyers by providing materials, ships, ammo, and fuel! This is terrible!
Gallente blaster boat producers are probably making a killing off these ganks, and without aforementioned destruction, EvE stops running; they are giving lots of people jobs and content on the industrial side. You are always in competition with everyone else - why not sell a high volume product which you can get other people to use shutting down your potential competition? Seems like a great business opportunity. Selling goods with a short shelf life ensures business stays good too.
Also neutral alts would make implementing this impossible. If you were seriously hell-bent and wanted to use market anonymity to your advantage, why not sell catalysts a little bit cheaper than you should, wait to see who buys them in bulk, and then gank the freighter that ends up moving them to their intended party-zone? Step up your game. |

So all the talk about Eve having non-violent PvP in the market and stuff is smoke and mirrors? I am aware enabling socipoaths is profitable but I'm asking to limit profits in order to not enable crime. Eve would only "stop running" (under your definition) if everyone jumped on board and limted their transactions. They won't, because it's profitable not to.
Anyway must the solution always be "shoot it"? It's a sandbox, shouldn't there be more options than violence all the time?
Who says market PvP is non-violent just because there aren't any wrecks generated?
If you are really a conscientious objector, just build skiff and shield mods. |

"Stop playing" is exactly what griefers want. Why not take a page out of their book and make me play my way instead?
I don't know where people get this idea from. It's almost never the case. Gankers want big kill mails more than anything, as well as immediately accessible content. Since there are no shortage of big kill mails to be had in hisec, and it doesn't take long to find them, gankers congregate there. Hisec is essentially a factory farm of big kills, so you can feed large amounts of gankers easily.
Bordem is another large motivation. Large portions of the game are completely devoid of content at the moment for reasons which go well beyond the scope of this thread, but getting in on the gravy train of kills in hisec alleviates part of this for some. |
