Why do all the ccp fleets have to be killed by the large corporations. Like they need the isk and the dropped items. CCP show up in systems that do not have these large corporations, such as looserswarm,northerblahcoalition, pathetic legion and so forth.. What a waste. |

So they probably must PVP in high-sec? "Hey dude pick up our jettison container for PVP"? Or they just should send you a PLEX and NEX item for being hopeless disabled carebear? |

This statement is so untrue that I feel bad even answering it.
Here is the deal, the fleet is moving over the next few days and you are ALL welcome to engage. It is not for the big boys or the small boys or the medium boys: it is for everyone.
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.

How can this event be regarded as a failure?
It was an event intended to be fun, and I had a lot of fun in a rather disorganized rag-tag public fleet.
It did cost me a thrasher and a clone but I play this game to have fun, not to collect in-game currencies.
And note that most of the action this time was in an incursion flagged system, so yes it was cyno jammed.

Yeah, when Padro drives his van to the playground, the candy isn't for the little children its for everyone, he's there for everyone. It doesn't matter that he went to a child's playground. Here's the deal, the van is moving over the next few days and EVERYONE is welcome. I'm really sorry you can't take the time out of your schedule to come to the playground, that's your fault.

SOP for PL is to be able to get large numbers of people on line and in the correct ship within 10 minutes. They do this day in and day out. Pilots in PL make sure they have the required ships in place so that when the FC calls, they are already ready.
Preparation and practice is how they do it. |

Man, you people can never be happy. Sounds like a bunch of self important, entitlement loving bitches in here. You don't want PL to get all the stuff then bring a bigger and better fleet. Coming on here with the "gimme stuff CCP because I'm too lazy to go get it" line is getting really, really old.

Yeah. You really need to grow a pair CCP because there will always be whining. Always. Kids like to whine every time someone else got more of something. It is to be expected and should be largely ignored.
Keep it up CCP. I am sure more people are happy than are not about your fleet events. |

The special thing about these large corporations is that they have this nifty ability to quickly relocate fleets. And they have no problem traversing big distances to get to where the fun is. So if CCP deployed right in the middle of high-sec you would still see these people. The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't. |

It would be nice if CCP broke up the fleet into small death squads of maybe 3-4 fast ships. and spread out at some point over the events. maybe at off peak hours And all over the map. Just a idea to give EVERYBODY a chance as they say. Not only that it would give em a good view of how real small scale pvp is working. Hers a tip for them, 1 Mach, 1 rapier, 1 ceptor and maybe a teir 3 bc for the luls. |

Perhaps the ironic thing here is that for anyone that remembers the original CCP events team - events (back when Eve was only 10k 15k online) there were similar complaints that the same people were always getting the loot from the events because they made it their business to lurk in the events channels and would quickly relocate to where all the shinies were. But ultimately, it was players flying pimped ships doing the intel work up that put them in the right time and place.
I can tell you from experience though that little guys do sometimes get lucky. Old corp mate of mine managed to snag one of the only Opus Luxury yachts in existence from an event to celebrate the launch of quafe ultra and that was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and swooping in for the loot.
I do understand its dispiriting to see these CCP fleets that *always* seem to be harvested by PL and their 0.0 allies and it looks fishy - but you need to look past that really as a simple reality of the server at the moment. PL is the Eve aristocracy and when something shiny appears they will come down with their golden chariots and hunt with ivory bows like the kings and queens of old. Thats just fact and the outcome of multiple years of unchallenged moon income etc and static 0.0 napfest. There isn't much anyone can do about *that*.
But what you can do is get into a cheap clone, prep a lootstealing cloaky vessel (bomber will do nicely) and listen to the same rumours PL do. Put PL fleet commanders and personalities in your location agents. Listen to the news, inflitrate pirate intel channels. Travel fast to the site of battles and prepare to steal the loots from under PL noses with a ship that costs less than then ammo they are using.
Ordinary capsuleers (you and me) are the rats in the wainscotting of this dystopian world. The huge alliances have no respect for individuality and seek only conformity and slavish obedience from their drones. We individuals are beneath their notice and that gives us an opportunity to thieve and steal and sabotage from under the gaze of these space-kings and jealous tyrants.
Rather than whining on the forums that things are not fair (nothing is fair) go prep your loot stealing vessels and swap to a cheap clone. Swarm these engagements and steal plex and bpcs out from the grasping fingers of the aristrocracy and toast your larcenary from the shrouding darkness of the cloak while the gods of eve lament the presence of insects to steal their prizes.
But understand this. To PL and their 0.0 nap allies you are nothing. You will never be respected or accepted or dealt a fair hand. Eve is a cruel and unkind universe. So learn the arts and techniques you need to survive and prosper despite the reign of burnished tyrants that rule these stars from their immortal moon-goo empires.
Your victory little loot ninja is your continued existence and drawing breath on the morrow.
And for that I at least salute you and call you my comrade at arms.

In my job i often get deals like this:
Book (X) amount of hotel rooms with us within 30 days and get (Y) prize!
Where X is the amount of hotel rooms I get to book in a whole year or so... 
So I usually work with a company that rewards little dealers with rappels and never mails us to tell us with what sort of cool promotional stuff they do for their bigger dealers only. 
The moral is, telling your customers they're unworthy of your promotional budget is a moot business practice... So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á

Well understand Beaches, I don't agree with the static nature or basic system of moon income. I think it is ridiculous that the minerals automagically teleport from the moon to behind pos shields (thus protecting the function of income via the reinforcement mechanic - which obviously makes a large mobile power with plenty of naps able to protect itself pretty well) + I don't agree with the boring permanence of the income. I think moon minerals should deplete and respawn elsewhere so that borders would need to shift and naps would be less stable between greedy empires.
Thats what I mean by "unchallenged" - as in protected by game mechanics I consider to be frankly wrong.
But its hardly the point of my post above. We play in the reality of the fabulously rich moon-income boosted PL supremacy where they have napped anyone who can be a threat to them and elected themselves the kings and queens of new eden. Some see this as a symbol of despair and gnash their teeth calling on ccp to run "special events" for "special players" who can't hope to match the firepower of the mighty but I see that as regressive sliding towards a sharded Eve and is horrible to consider.
So I say steal from Pandemic Legion and their alliances, steal and loot and run away laughing!
And cherish your independence and individuality - to survive as a free capsuleer is playing Eve on hard mode and it must be applauded by somebody even if the only one clapping is a rare anarchist trouble-maker with a penchant for theatricality.

PL/TEST were never there for the loot. We go where the fights are end of story. It is also well known that we operate with an NBSI policy just like most 0.0 alliances. It has nothing to do with lack of respect for any other player in the game it is simply PvP. Thinking otherwise is just selfish.

I see that outlook as pure surivival mechanism and a function of wising up to the way things are. If PL/TEST is not there for the loot (true or not) it makes no difference to the dynamic I espouse. Anyone whining about these matters would be best advised to take a minor risk (clone+cheap bomber) and go loot thieving and steal from the divine immortals of the 0.0 napfests to demonstrate their independence to the server at large.
Your leaders think only in terms of 100s and 1000s of followers. To them we individuals are nothing. Beneath contempt or notice. So be it, I merely say use that dynamic to urge the pathetic individuals of eve to steal from the god-kings and chariot-warriors of 0.0 and laugh at the ranks of power.

Anyone achieving this is winning at Eve in my book.

Oh the old 'we might fail so why even try' chestnut, what a load of crap. If you want to be a part of these events you need to be where they happen, its not exactly hard to learn how to travel quickly and safely in nullsec so stop being such a bunch of risk adverse whiners. |

Given PL and the organized aliances have the best intel network (even inside CCP?), its no wonder they get to the sites very early and can keep other competitors away by their superior fleet.
So this is mostly just free stuff for those big alliances, though I hope CCP is not feeding em on purpose to keep em playing as not many other ppl will engage em as they always have their super blob just 1 cyno away and fighting them is just stupid if you want good fights. |

I couldn't care less about the rewards, maybe if the event was in Amarr, I might undock and try to scoop something. I do care that CCP is hopelessly beholden to 0.0 power blocks. Not only because of inherent bias, through the fact that their CSM is all goons, but because the majority of their alts are deeply involved in these 0.0 alliances. This large reward to certain 0.0 entities amounting to a mini , extralegal T20 incident, dev corruption and interference with the sandbox. |

So much ignorance in a single thread.
All the big entities get involved because they want to be involved and can easily put a fleet together for it, A cyno or two later they are on grid engaging the enemy.
Any player can be there if they decide to undock, just as they can.
Sure the biggest fleet will probably hold the field at the end, But welcome to the same complaint since '03. |

Don't be dramatic, it's just CCP being friends to their friends (insert shrug). So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á

Oh that is just nonsense. Also, this "large reward" is literally nothing for the larger alliances and, as already stated, is not the reason they are doing this. They just want to have fun. Shocking, eh? |

So what youre saying is that you were too lazy to go track down the CCP fleet so that obviously shows a CCP bias towards nullsec? You aren't very smart, are you? Its far easier to make isk in hisec than in nullsec and much safer too, and CCP is doing its best to rid any risk aspect from hisec by removing the insurance for gankers. You should stop and think before you post, because otherwise you end up looking really dumb. |

Considering only the more hardcore players (yep even carebears like me can be "kinda" hardcore) are reading this forum its rather obvious how one sided this "christmas event" really is. Where is the problem in designing a small nice event everybody can take part in with little rewards for everybody who bothers joining? Instead have one massive thing rolling with presents worth 10 years of birthday, christmas and easter put together for a small group of perfectly organized 0.0 PvP geeks?
Its just the old story all over again, these people thinking they are better and deserve more because they play Eve just THIS WAY. And guess what? Events like these just alianate these guys from the normal Eve player and the majority of the playerbase. |

People who want to ignore the forums and do their own thing, let them. People who actually get involved, reap the rewards.
And yes, people who play in certain ways will have advantages in certain situations. If you're looking for perfectly fair all the time, consider HKO. |

So once again, what you're saying is most people were too lazy to organize and track down this fleet and that somehow is CCP's fault? Jesus youre a bunch of lazy whiners. Get up off your lazy asses, get a fleet together, and go 20-30 jumps. As for these supposedly amazing awards, the CCP fleet only dropped a few plexes, nothing amazing... you should learn what you're talking about before posting. |

dear ccp navigator,
i dont give a crap about your or ccps intentions with your feed-my-buddies-with-fat-loot-events, its about the facts
you decide where u go, and so u know who is likley to kill u and get all the shiny blueprints plexes and stuff
ccp having a history in this game of ccp employees feeding their ingame friends with items and stuff, you should have learn from this, be smart and abstain from events like this
there may be no proof u feed ur loot intentionally to certain people, BUT there is also no proof u didnt, so i hope u understand it leaves a bad taste
and saying everyone can participate is a lie and u know that ^^ eve is a complex game where u form communities and u work on shared goals together with them
that leaves not really time to go and shoot ccp
so only the people that ccp decides can have a go at that loot (ccp decides where they fly)
so stop handing out loot like blueprints that have a impact on different aspects of the game
u can still pump plexes up certain peoples exhaust pipes all u want, but blueprints ? no thanks

Let me guess, you too feel that Crucible did nothing for you, just some nice shiny and pvp/null content, but no gameplay for hisec soloers? Because if you think so, then you're welcome to my club. So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á
Why should I keep paying to play this game? |

It stands to sense that people who get out and about in the game world and who participate more reap more rewards, carebears huddling in high sec simply deserve less because they are not playing the game to its fullest.
They cut themselves off from a large proportion of the map and from game mechanics, in this case they cut themselves off from the event. Only they are whining about it because the choices they made excluded them and the are butt hurt. |

After the Incarna debacle I liked Crucible quite much, though its true what you said. I dont need super cool new highsec content every patch, sometimes little things and some shiny is nice too. But what I really hate is the attitude towards highsec players and the general trend to push everyone into 0.0 and low by cutting more and more possibilities and niches of solo and highsec players. And give away free T2 BPOs to perfectly organized 0.0 alliances definetly is a kick in the groin for any average Eve player. |

Who decides how to play a game to it's fullest? In a sandbox there is no 'right' or 'wrong' ; 'full' or 'empty' way, you can create for yourself what YOU want and it's full for you. On the beach when I was young sometimes me and my sistersand brothers would dig giant holes which went down to the water and cover them with a blanket and some sand so people would fall in, sometimes we built little castles ect. Complete opposite, both fun and good at the time.
CCP rewarding their 0.0 alliance mates and CSM buddies because they think living in a perpetual circle jerk is the 'right' way to play the game is inherently wrong.
It's not as if 0.0 is even interesting to most players anyway (or they would live there). Are the supers what make it so interesting and praise/reward worthy? The blobs? The napfests? It's a matter of opinion and that's my point. Some people like that **** (obviously some CCP devs) It's nothing which CCP as a company should show favoritism over. It only shows corruption and bias. |

I hope that everybody involved had a really good time, players and devs.
When it comes to me, as a carebear with (some) teeth, I have been in low sec for a while and saw some space around 0.0 on my other character where we (corp and a short lived alliance) helped to mop up the remains of something called 'IT'. Sadly 'it' wasn't there, though I /we ran into some remarkable forces like for example PL and the Purple Helmeted warriors.
That was great fun, doesn't matter if I/we lost or not. After all this is a game, you should have fun or move on to something that pleases you more.
When it comes to the moaners and crybabies in this thread, please stop posting. You are embarrassing yourself. No one and nothing is stopping you from going out of high sec and experience what this game is build for, blowing up virtual spaceships flown by real people. It's not that if you lose, you suddenly have lost an arm in real life. All you lose is some isk and assets that do not and never have belonged to you anyway (check the EULA). So get over that dump fear. Get a cheap ship, a clone with nothing that cannot be replaced easily and get out there.
It's as easy as that^.
High sec is meant to be "safe". Don't expect to be rewarded for playing safe.

The first strike was that it was in Tama. I mean, c'mon, really? Tama? I spent two nights roaming around in lowsec just hoping for a CCP fight, only to find out that after they said they wouldn't run in a large blob fleet, they ran in a large blob fleet. And they decided to stand in Tama. Bad enough to miss fighting with CCP (which would have been epic, win or lose), but then who should get to do it, but PL and GS. *sigh* I'm sure that all the goodies were a small blip on their bloated wallets already.
Take it how you will, but gosh, I'm sure the little fish would like to play with the big fish now and then, if for no other reason than the experience and to have a story to tell. Events like this are lost on the big fish. If you bring down a giant, you're a hero. If you kill something weak-even if it has to die-then you will endure contempt. |

This event was staged 1 or 2 jumps into 0.0, in NPC space, in cyno jammed systems. That is hardly catering to 0.0 powerblocs if I may say so myself.
Any loot argument is completely moot and invalid. There was none, even in the first CCP event there was only some plexs, you could have run incursions and made more ISK ESPECIALLY is you count how any people were participating.
Quit pretending like CCP has never or will never run community funtime in empire space because they have and they will.
CCP thanks for bringing the good fight.

The only person decides whether to play the game to the fullest is the player themselves. You seem to take the impression that I am making a judgement about who deserves what, well I am not I am just pointing out that in a sand box a player can choose how he wants to play.
The high sec bears have decided to ignore 3/4s of the tools, options and space available to them. The reasons for doing this are complicated but basically they have noone to blame but themselves. So for easy reading comprehension I am not trying to dictate which players deserve what because I dont need to, they have done it by themselves.
If you ignore the tools availiable to you and if you decide half of the sandbox is off limits its your own fault.

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.

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.

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? |

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. |

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.
We've learned how to work with them. Maybe you should too? |

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.

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?

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.  |
