Greetings Pilots!
We're doing a little bit of research for a project idea. We would like to know how big a loss has to be, before you are interested in knowing about it? if you could vote on the below strawpoll: http://strawpoll.me/7008775 We would be super grateful!
As an additional note, if you could take a moment to elaborate on what makes a kill interesting to you, as a response to this thread,(Eg, deadspace fit destroyers, frigates killing titans, PLEX hauling rookie ships) we would appreciate it.
Thank you for your input!

The value of the kill is not interesting, the story behind the kill is what is interesting.

It's not the value that drives me it's the hours of whining and complaining afterwards that I just destroyed their entire Eve life and they are going to threaten me with merc warfare.
That's what makes it interesting, it's the experience of the thrill the loot is just a plus. |

Oh and if you know how to you can vote multiple times with Strawpoll so your numbers might be off if others know how to vote multiple times.
And I could figure it out in a couple of seconds I'm sure others have to

If there is a genuine risk that I could die in the encounter. Better still is if I almost die during it.

After nearly 13,000 kills, it was thrilling for the first few years. Now, I'd rather play something else or count my billions. Possibly PI will give me the adrenaline I need, if I could be bothered.

The answer is obviously how its even still POSSIBLE to blow up another players ship in highsec with the constant nerfs to combat, buffs to hp, and softening of the hard edges. Thats what i find interesting. |

I for one am thankful for getting blown up in Highsec. If it wasn't for that i would have never tried lowsec stuff like faction wars or WH or null sec adventures. It is all because I got mad my retrievers kept getting blown up.
Now look at me, I am helping bring content to highsec.

CODE. Ganked my mackinaw and opened my eyes to the possibilities of this game and taught me the freedoms we all have.
The best kills are the ones that come from careful planning and cunning execution that end in a beautiful river of tears. Or some dude with a cargo full of blueprints that always makes me happy.

Anything that I have wait weeks to get, or where I have had to endure a slew of terrible smack beforehand. I love killing gobby b*stards. I love it more than lager flavoured nipple jelly.

Any kill thats out of the ordinary. Big kills, kills that have needed considerable knowledge of game mechanics, kills that have epic stories behind them, people getting ganked while hauling stupid amounts of some high value stuff etc. You can google "purple gank" done by Pasta if you want to see example of a story behind a kill |

A rough fight. A well executed assassination. A long chase followed by finally bringing the prey down. Massive ISK disparity in the form of cheap ships murdering very expensive ships. Delivering a savage beating to a mouthy target.
All of these things. Any one of these things. Some other things.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Without the story most kills aren't very interesting (always get bored after clicking a few of the +10b kills on zkillboard) . However EVE players are suckers for graph pr0n. Give us any of these:
- Concord interventions per region
- Freighter jumps vs freighter kills in system that have more than x freighter kills
- Average kills per war plotted vs the number of outstanding wars a corp has

It greatly depends on the story behind it.
I've seen kills worth tens of billions that amounted to "wow, that idiot put all his everything in his officer fitted mission ship during a war, what an idiot". We look at those kills and laugh about them, but in a day or two it's just another shiny kill thanks to a foolish pilot.
I've also seen much less expensive kills that took far more effort or had much more entertaining context. Like the guys who sell ORE Strip Miners and then gank the buyers, only to loot and resell the items so they can gank the next buyer. What is compelling about a lot of kills isn't the isk value, but the facts surrounding them.

* Are you planning a kill mail that only shows if both buddies agree on it ? * Will loss mails never be shown again and only kill mails above x B ? * Do wars reports become "Angry Buddie Lists" ?
To be honest, I'm mainly interested in how they were fitted, what damage was done and the hunt that made this kill happen.

PS: We're aware that it's really the story behind a kill is what makes them truly interesting, but for the purposes of the project, we're most interested in the sort of information you get from just the killmail. I think it's not so much the hard isk value either. For instance a 2bil worm would interest me more the an 8 bil anshar

The battle and the story around it is always more interesting than the ISK value of the equipment used and/or destroyed. Anybody can throw ISK at fights and brag or cry about it, but a gripping tale is well worth the read.

ISD Flowingspice, The correct answer is "numbnuttery".
We want to be entertained. We want kills where there is a punchline or a big surprise.
Ex: When a battle badger smoked a baiting rifter (back when high sec was about fighting). When a single ship takes down a fleet. When a velator with reps takes down a raven.
If you want to experience it firsthand, let me know. You guys really need to learn about the game you have destroyed with the last few years of nerfs.
If you are really Nitshe, please post with your main or GTFO. |
