Upgrading Local to Eliminate All AFK Influence So Local Chat vanished, now what?

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

Fear of death follows from fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. -Mark Twain -

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

How do you stop people from being people.

True that.

Also, braver pilots repeatedly kicking the pussies' arses even with unfavourable odds just widens the gap: the braver become better and bolder pilots, the pussies worse and more scared.

Not my words, but...

What doesn't produce satisfying deaths is suicide ganking in high sec. Suicide ganking, especially of miners, is in many ways like sex between two sixteen year-old virgins. Due to CONCORD response times, a successful ganked is usually over in 15 seconds. The ganker, playing the role of the inexperienced male, is proud of himself because he scored. Then again, the actual gank was preceded by a lot of foreplay in the form of stalking the victim, preparing the warp-in, etc.

The gankee, on the other hand, may not even have known the gank was about to occur until the ganker appeared. By the time the fight or flight instinct takes over and the adrenaline starts pumping, the miner not only has lost his ship, but may find himself waking up in a a station in his medical clone. Much like the young lady expecting a magical experience, the miner is left emotionally frustrated. But unlike the disappointed young lady, the miner by now is filled with adrenaline and often expresses his frustration at the ganker, ironically giving the ganker further pleasure.

...this is SO true...

(I am also tempted to take that analogy to both extremes: the one where it's a unconsensual event aka r*** and the one where gankers go limp and then it's the lady who haves a laugh after safely docking her more-or-less battered flying... huh).

The above act is obviously one person forcing another to do something they chose not to do.

Interesting choice of words...stalking the victim..the adrenaline rush of the one committing the act..

For your analogy of the 16 year olds, the unsuspecting 16 yr old female is experiencing ****.

May want to rethink this line of thought.

QUOTE CCP Dolan and the EVE Online development team:-áThe battle was relatively even for some time with CFC and Russian forces holding moderate lead at first and only have a slight lead in Titan kills. Then came a turning point in the battle. Manfred Sideous, the initial Fleet Commander for PL/N3, handed over command to the CEO of Northern Coalition., Vince Draken

Antimatter, now with more Nirnroots.

Sorry, but a member of PL complaining about risk adverse players is pretty priceless. PL are one of the reasons that so many are risk adverse these days. Low sec entitys were scared shitless of being hotdropped by PL supers whenever they wanted to field caps.
Sure its fair game to do so, and in those regards i dont even mind it, but please understand what has caused lots of ppl to become more risk adverse. Players all over eve have become so used to being titan bridged upon during fights that a lot of fc's have most of their contact list filled with known titan pilots from the area, and either simply refuse to take a fight due to some titan pilot being online cause they expect to be dropped on if they try to fight.

ps: PL isnt the main reason for this, but they sure as heck didnt help either

Yea I saw PL station camping brave in Kehjari a few days back with 2 Machariels, 2 resebo lokis and 2 basilisks, assuredly with triage and super alts on standby (because PL). You don't get to complain about lack of content when all you do is try to farm other people for content whilst sitting smugly behind the walls of an escalation capability no one else can match, except for the other nullsec power blocs who share your aversion for risking major assets.

Not to defend Feyd as he can speak for himself.

This thread is 6 months old. It was necro' by CAM begging for skillbooks. The thread hadn't been posted in for the last 2 months.

When Feyd made the thread, he wasn't in PL. He was in BL having only recently joined them at that point and moved out of highsec.

Not difficult facts to check before someone complains about PL (or anyone else) whining.

Why do bad threads happen to good people?
