Yes, there is. The track you are running on, the finishing line you are crossing, the clock and the rules defining the victor are all part of the environment.

If want to see it as fighting the other racer then be my guest, but you are not actually engaging in a physical fight even if you could, but rather the rules prevent you from doing so as it would disqualify you. The fight against the other runner is only in your head. He might however not even notice you, because he could be entirely focused on the track, his heartbeat and breathing just to achieve his best performance.

Only if you were allowed to knock the other runner down, push him off the track or otherwise directly engage/assault him would it constitute a direct fight - a PvP - between you two.

Boxing is PvP. Running a track is not.

No, it is commonly called competitive PvE.

I am referring to other games that sell it as part of their PvE experience. I do not expect from you do have heard of it of course. Just keep an eye open when you see it. It is not the same as PvP.

Market trading in EVE is competitive PvE (which is what I wrote if you haven't read it). You are just sitting safely at a station and out of harms way, which is what competitive PvE is all about.

People may just not have seen competitive PvE and think I am making this all up.

If the account/player hasn't budged much over the years, I wonder if the same holds true for the character/account count. Just like how one would expect the accounts per player to go down as more services are added to allow consolidation, one would expect the character per account number to go up. So if the former hasn't budged, has the latter? It's been hovering around 2 for as long as they provided any stats on it at all, and it would be fun to see if it has changed or if it has remained stable too.

With Din-din gone, someone had to step up to the plate, I guessGǪ

If people played as much as they whined on forums about stuff, Eve would be in a better place.

Just sayin'.

/me zoidbergs out as the flames speed toward him

3-4 pages of forum warrioring since my initial post. All that energy coulda been used to make content in Eve. But not, let us complain about the lack of content and Eve dying instead, surely this is better!

Dweebs.

I've got a circle (of sorts) for you.

Also, a couple of different histories to tell.

"Meh, I don't want you a customer" is a funny idea but nobody who makes a living by selling his brain's work can really afford it.

Others tend to respond to tickets a fair bit quicker though.

If you're going to try your hand a trolling at least be good at it.

pretty much done talking about this with you at this point, you believe whatever you want lucas. it matters not.
