Wow, CODE makes an event to kill especially noobs in HS. That will certainly help Eve getting more players!
So CODE is so cheap that they can't kill seasoned player any more but targets players that can't shoot back and can't afford the losses?
Why don't you not just rename to GrEVE and make destroying the Eve playerbase your main objective? At least it would be more honest then to call this an event!
Sorry, but I can't express how angry I am about this intentional destroying the fun of noobs and demoralizing them without risking permaban! Could you even think about one step further then your killboard filled with things that can't shoot back? Maybe trying to keep this game alive instead killing it? Or thinking that it is more fun to shoot seasoned players instead of collecting noob scalps? |

Could you even think about one step further then your killboard filled with things that can't shoot back? Maybe trying to keep this game alive instead killing it? Or thinking that it is more fun to shoot seasoned players instead of collecting noob scalps? It seems that someone didn't get the memo. CCP's own research indicates that under the soon-to-be-phased-out trial account system, new players that lose a ship to other players are MORE likely to become paying subscribers that players that do not lose a ship to another player. I've mentored several newbs whose first interaction with CODE. is to be a client of our ganking services. A few minutes later and they realise that they too can gank. I often give them a couple million ISK and a gank Atron fit, tell them to go and shoot Ventures, and when they have made ten attempts, contact me again and I'll give them 50 million ISK. Really lets them see that they - a 700k SP newb with little knowledge of game mechanics - can actually influence the game world without having to level up to 100 first.
That's totally okay, could you tell me how many will do this and not just bolster their killboard especially if it is a contest? It's not the killing but robbing the noobs of resources they desperately need. If you kill him, tell him what he made wrong and give him some millions, I'm the last to object.......if

Go back to WoW, HTFU, can I have your stuff etc...
Nice post. Would you like to put ALL your money in a skiff and go mining in it in NPC Null? You or I can deal with the losses, noobs can't. That's the difference!

Apparently you don't understand the contest and are making wild assumptions. Please point to the part of the contest rules where contestants are to target noobs.
I'll wait...

No. Still waiting for you to point to the part of the contest that says to target noobs. Just because someone makes an new character doesn't mean that they are new.[/quote]
Vets creating a new account know how to avoid most ganking attempts so the main group that will get killed in this event will be noobs. If you target especially new players when there is an update that is intended to draw in new players this is damaging to EVE! Normal ganking is bad enough for noobs but you are stepping up the killing of noobs.

I'd suggest dropping #1 and just focus on 2 through 7, still plenty of targets. There's a reason Rule 1. exists. If you think you can become no.1 in #1 by being selective and target these characters only, well, you'll be burned out the first week already.
Nice post. Not a word about the unfairness of killing people that are just learning how to play EVE. You are worried about the gankers getting banned but not about the new players. If CCP wouldn't ban you, you would camp the career agent undock to get the most kills? Of cause, it would be for the good of EVE so the new players learn that there is nowhere save in New Eden..........
