Y'know, I've already commented in this thread but I feel the need to do it again.
You see I'm a high sec dweller, somewhat carebear-ish. I'll go to low sec, WH space or Null if I want to in order to accomplish something but they just aren't my thing. I've been playing this game since June 2003 and in that time I've experienced pretty much all the many facets of Eve gameplay. They always say that the number one rule in this game is to not fly what you can't afford to lose but that's not true.
This is the true number one rule of this game: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THEN YOU TAKE IT. YOU FIGHT FOR IT AND YOU TAKE IT.
So please, stop with the whining, moping, complaining. Seriously, you can come together for Incursion Fleets by the hundreds but you can't be arsed to go fight a null sec fleet to get what you want? You want CCP to hand you toys just because you play?
Here's 2 facts for you:
1. CCP just took a giant leap forward with this game with the Crucible expansion. They did this because YOU FOUGHT FOR IT. They finally realized how their bread was buttered. It's not a perfect expansion but sweet **** all it's better than what we've been getting for the past few years.
2. You have never had to pay for any of these expansions, ever, since this game has existed. On top of that they hand out stuff all the time in a general sense. Didn't you just get a new implant that is literally a unique thing that didn't exist before? Point being, they give you stuff all the time. Stop looking a gift horse in the mouth.
So, I reiterate what I said before. Stop being a bunch of whiny bitches and get into a ship with some guns on it and take what you want. Otherwise be happy with the gameplay style you have chosen and stop trying to squash everyone else's just because you didn't get your shiny/buff/pimp free stuff.
If I had something clever and witty to say this is where I would put it. Duct Tape Mechanics is Recruiting NZAU Alliance |

The only 0.0 people I know of that work endlessly to redistribute the wealth are the goons, as everyone else's policy is "STOP HAVING FUN PEOPLE!! THIS IS SERIOUZ BUIZNEZZ!!!" as they drop hundreds of supercapitals on people (used to be just titans up til the recent DD nerf) I would join them if I knew they wouldn't just kill me, steal my stuff then kick me out and even then they are more polite than the other 0.0 overlords.
and CCP would you kindly fix your fking forums? |

Well i am high-sec carebear atm for past nine or so months. And i dont whine about things...
But you spreading miss-informations down there...
Nothing except market trading/maniuplation in high sec is actually more profitable than null. If you feel that way you are doing it wrong, whatever it is you are doing.
And actually SiSi is more fun for PvP people not for high sec care-bears. |

Do you realize how ignorant this makes you look in a single post?
You are literally mad about rumors, things that aren't even fact.
The fact is:
1) Yesterday CCP had a single ship that had some t2 BPC's, t1 BPO's (that are available for purchase in highsec), and a few plex. I literally have dropped motherships who dropped more loot on the field.
2) That wreck was bombed before anybody could loot it, so in reality, none of the loot was actually taken home by anybody.
So you're all bunged up posting about something that DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN.
Doesn't it make you wonder about how much of the rest of your post is based in fictional beliefs? |

Thankyou CCP, I had a great time! All the good players live in lowsec/0.0 anyway so its not really a problem if the empire dudes can't make it.
I hope you do some more fleets soon |

The CSM was formed due to the T20 stuff.
So why do we need to put up with the pointless CSM exercise now that CCP is just gifting billions worth of loot to the same ol' bitches they gave t2 BPO's to years ago? Do we really need the high end alliances being given billions upon billions of free loot?
Game is already imbalanced enough without these constant gifts that the devs are giving out. Just go out with pimp ships like you're doing, leave the loot at home where it belongs and stop ******* with the economy by giving away all this **** to people who don't need it. |

It's just hilarious how many people are SO MAD about loot dropping in wrecks which were almost instantly blown up by bombers.
Very little of the stuff dropped was actually picked up, because the wrecks die before people can get to them.
The 1-2b here and there that does get picked up is nothing compared to the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS an alliance like PL makes every month from moon minerals. |

I am really sorry that you cannot organize a fleet or join one who that is effective against us. Be a leader and make EVE what you want it to be.
Sorry that you feel bad. With the incursion live events there was a lot of positive result and good feelings all around. But this seems to have different results. Just fighting with a Dev fleet would be an honor and as I am told that your Sansha Nightmares in those Live Incursions are dev controlled, if that's really true then I owe my worst and most expensive ship loss to CCP and I am proud of that. (At least 70M ISK NOT counting the price of the deadspace and faction mods in a ship that went down in 11 seconds).
But let me focus on one part of your statement for a moment:
Quote:Here is the deal, the fleet is moving over the next few days and you are ALL welcome to engage
This is a very huge problem in the game. Location is everything and it's not just about a live event. Look at all of the threads centered on the great Highsec versus Nullsec debate. Lack of movement induced by the gate mechanics, bubbles, and camp mechanics, makes your statement stand out.
Sure, we can participate, IF we could get there. And I think there is possibly a lack of understanding or experience on this. I don't know if CCP is aware of how hard travel in EvE really is, and how that hinders the game. Sure, the nulldwellers say, "get another account and train up a scout". But any game where the only way to make it is to double your sub cost feels like a scam. So I gotta double my sub cost because of people who have nothing to do all day but wait for others to arrive so they can blow them up? That makes me want to resist an extra sub at all costs.
The travel restrictions in "the sandbox" are a big hinderence. I could imagine say Star Wars with EvE gates. If Moss Isley was nullsec, the Millenium Falcon would have been caught up in a suck bubble long before Luke hired the ship out.
In my opinion, there is practically no game because of the travel issues. There's a game for FW( (hardly), there's a game for high sec mission running, there's a game for miners, and there is something of a game for lowsec and nullsec where in the former it appears to be cat and mouse punctuated by someone getting blobbed and in the latter there is a big NAPfest ongoing so beyond bubble camping I am not sure if they are even using it.
But there is no game for your live events, because if you roam with it, or pick an area down the gank pipeline or "Great Wall of Carebear", only the people already there will enjoy it.
This is not really that bad. But don't try to tell us "it's for everybody". Honestly, if you stated that live events will happen in 0.0 only because they are all blued and NAPed up to each other and could use the excitement, I would agree with you and support that. But don't put the Pinata beyond the reach of my stick and talk to me like I had a longer stick when the mechanics of the game won't let me have it.
Again, sorry you feel this way. Why don't you just tell us to HTFU and stop complaining and then put together your own blob fleet and really raise some unholy hell? C'mon, we can take it, and I have a nice new expensive ship waiting for you.

96 Light years and 1m isotopes is what pl/test fleet used getting there and back. So quit crying about it no one got any loot there were bombers popping all the wrecks anyway. The only thing I got out of this fleet was a 2.5b isk pod kill on a highsec pubbie. |

ftfy. Also, the Millenium Falcon WAS caught up in a suck-bubble long before Luke hired them. Only reason they got away is because of Falcon. Unless you were referring to sling-bubbles in EVE, in which case Han has bookmarks.
Srsly though, I highly suggest you read "Millennium Falcon" by James Luceno. It delves into the famous ship's history in the universe. It skips over much of Han's ownership, though, since that's completely covered by other books/the movies. |

You do bring out a good point. Location IS everything.
Hey, let's take a look at the numbers, shall we?
This event was located in FD-MLJ in Syndicate. It's no big secret that PL is currently staged out of Curse, in the G-G78S system (please feel free to stop by btw!). To get from G-G to FD by the quickest route, you have to travel across the entire length of empire space. This is a route that takes 41 jumps. Of course, many of our pilots cannot enter empire space. If we were to account for that, the route would take us through 71 jumps of low and null sec space.
Of course, since everyone knows that PL are spacerich and have bridging titans staged all over EVE, the quickest route from our staging system to FD is only 8 titan bridges. Realistically, since the shortest path is rarely achieved, you're looking at 10-12 bridges. That's even assuming that we have all the cyno ships and titans available.
Yes, travel restrictions are indeed a big hinderence. In fact, our fleet was held up for a long time because we didn't have everything in place and instead had to adapt to the situation. The fact that this event, just like the first one, was on the opposite side of the map from us also was a big hinderence, not to mention the fact that the way there is littered with corporations and alliances that are hostile towards us. In contrast, for an empire dweller to get to the event, they'd only need to pass through one system that is nullsec. From Jita, it was only 13 jumps to Orvolle, the staging system used by the defence fleet - who, at almost 150 strong, had little problem breaking through the bubblecamps.
I think this clearly illustrates how this event was catering to Pandemic Legion, what with it almost being in our backyard and all. The fact that we used up fuel and ammo worth billions also clearly demonstrates how we're being so richly rewarded by watching wrecks with loot that we could care less about is blown up before anyone can loot them.
Yes, you can participate. In fact, many players did so, quite successfully. Many of them WITHOUT scouts, because other players stepped up to scout for them. This game is a multiplayer game. Play it with other people, and you'll see that the game mechanics that you feel is so unfair applies equally to everyone else.

REALITY CHECK
This is Eve Online. CCP enters the game in a fleet to interact with players, the only way to counter an organized fleet is with another organized fleet. Only 0.0 alliances or low sec pirate corps have experience with organized fleets.
WTF ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO IN HIGH SEC?!? HAVE A TICKLE FIGHT?
Seriously. This is the coolest **** in any MMO. I've never heard of so many developers and GM's interacting live with players. This should be encouraged. Quit crying. Bearer of the 1600mm Tinfoil Hat -¬ |

Pallidum Treponema wrote:(please feel free to stop by btw!).
As a matter of fact I was in the Curse region roughly six weeks ago. Wormhole dropped me off and I spent a week in a dead end system hitting some drones that hit back very hard and looking for radar sites. Some SOV dead end.
The pipe back to Ihal was bubbled like crazy, but my trusty exploration ship dug up a wormhole 40 jumps into rusky-controlled drone space and spent a while there, gaining some drone goo with little interaction from some Russian in that system flying a Wyvern (alone).
A wormhole a week later put me into Caldari lowsec, in a FW system, two jumps out of highsec and 20 jumps from my home base.
My trusty exploration ship has been in use doing this since 2009, and still has the large rig to prove its age. The rule: no gates (or very few of them after careful use of existing intel tools).
When I take an alt into 0.0 to test the usual "how to get around 0.0" post, most of the methods work, but there's no garantee. The methods to keep from getting killed in 0.0 are only effective against dumb campers, but you'll never get past the good ones. Heck even as I avoid bubble camps, I can figure out ways to counter the counter, and I never had an original idea in my entire life.
Sorry if I missed your welcome party. If you want modules off me, just ask.

I read this thread, and I think we are all slightly missing the mark on how to sum this up. I think people are tired of the 0.0 alliances getting these loot pinitas, but not because the rich get richer. I think its because these people are always looking for ways to ruin the gameplay of 80% of the game population, and it seems CCP would rather reward this 15% - 20% of the population for being jerks than the "average" player. I swear, if you counted all the "tears" posts made by all the 0.0 alliance players in these threads, it would outnumber all other posts. I just find it ironic that CCP rewards the very people who run off so many new customers. Oh, the irony.
That bieng said, the fun of PvP vs. the CCP staff should alone be enough for people to come and have fun. Filling each CCP ship with hundreds of millions of isk in possible drops is what is souring theif un event. I say just leave the PLEX, BPCs, and the exotic dancers in Polaris and just come out to PvP for PvP. I guarantee there would still be fun to be had and the complaining would be alot less. |

I can confirm that in the first event, my nano-titan was looting the entire field from 100km away.
Actually, I'll get you in on a secret. The reason for why we are doing so well is because most of us actually do what we're told and remain at the combat ranges established by our FC, rather than trying to loot ***** and get picked off one by one.
I did some quick math, and we burned something in the neighbourhood of 4.5 billion ISK in fuel and ammo. I also took tabs on our loot log. It appears we successfully looted items worth approximately 35 million ISK on the Jita market. |

Reading this thread makes me chuckle.
Empire highsec dwellers: "15 jumps to go fight ccp! le effort! My hard earnt isk! MY MISSION SHIP BACKBONE! I don't have any friends to help!" Pandemic Legion Mumble: "40 jumps to go blow up CCP, and reap all the tears on the EVE-O forums? Oh hell yes."
In reality, that 40 jumps turned closer to being 60 - considering we diverted to fight an -A- fleet enroute.
This is why PL is pulling in over a trillion a month in Technetium. It's also why we are in control of over 200 Technetium moons.
Stop expecting CCP to hand you gifts on a plate. If you want a reward, you have to work for it.
Remember. Whoever controls the spice controls the universe.
P.S. Thanks CCP for the years worth of gametime in free plexes, last night was fun. |
