So, I was roaming in lowsec again with my favorite fed navy comet. I saw another fed navy in the novice, so I pursued him in. As I was landing, he warped away. I asked him why he did it and he told me he's too scared. He lost his comet about 30 minutes later to a kiting tristan.

This happens a LOT to me in lowsec. Last night, 2 comets bailed. About 2 weeks ago, I was sitting in a novice with a republic fleet firetail and another firetail appeared on dscan, he was sitting in front of the novice for about a minute and then he warped.

I asked him in local why he did it, and he told me he's worried about losing his ship.

In my opinion, the public killboard is CANCER. It kinda reminds me of call of duty and kills/losses ratio.

With eve, it's the same thing. People are too scared to take risks because of the possible loss. I'm pretty sure if there weren't any public killboard sites, there would be much more pvp in eve.

I have a little nasty daredevil with a faction web sitting in a lowsec station, but my corp/alliace wouldn't be happy if I lost it. I have a vindicator I'm eager to use in solo pvp, but my corp members would kill me if I caused 2 billion loss on KB. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I just wish there weren't no public killboards.

Combat log stats in eve should definitely stay, and imo one should be on the kill it even if he doesn't cause the final blow. You ***** on a killmail, it should appear in the combat log. That way, if there weren't public killboards, you'd still see and could link what you've lost/killed.

This is probably not going to happen, but it would be awesome if it did!


And it wouldn't be a problem for corp recruiters, either. They could just see all your kills/losses in your API.

You can't have killmails without loss mails, and people will never give up their killmails.

A beautiful killmail is like meeting Jessica Alba in a bar, nailing her, then having a photo of her curled up under your arm in bed.

Now imagine your Facebook page, covered in said photos, including Taylor Swift (and that fail-fit 300lb fatty you took down)...

Why, you would be a GOD amongst men, surely.

So, am I to understand that ~elitepvp~ is 95% running away?

That can't be right...

WTB better shopping lists than what we have in market window, with the ability to import stuff into it from saved fitting lists.

You mean like dragging a fit from saved fittings into the market quickbar? Because, you know, you can totally do that.

Interesting commentary, one might say the same about you.
Or me.

The guy has a monocle. Boo hoo.

I would say it is a mirror of the sad state of mind people nowadays have and removing killboards
would not change the problem one bit, because the people still stay the same.

Of course, everyone who rather blames "everything else than himself" will always keep
blaming "everything else" because they are unable to/unwilling to to see that it's their ego that's
the actual problem.

Agreed in some way, but the point I was trying to make is that people get to worried about firstly their own stats because it becomes an epeen thing, but on the other side, people are wary of having fun and just losing a ship, not because of an affect of the stats but the ridicule they receive for a loss or whether they had the right fit or not. That's the sad part to be honest.

Youre right sometimes its the people that actually stop others, but if they didn't have a tool that allowed them to do it then that would change things.

I used to be obsessed with them true, having my corp being the top kill corp or gaining 100 kills in one day was great but perhaps I would of had more people participate or actually more kills if I didn't have a killboard to worry about?

No it's repeatedly making alts on your free slots and killing them. Also 1 shot whoring on the pos with 100 mods, ykno no ones gonna check page 17 of zkill and find them right.......
