I for one want to thank Code for a few reason. I have lost several ships to them., to include 2 hulks. However, I am also build T1 and T2 mining barges to sell and they have drummed up a lot of business for me. I have made 35x what I have lost in a matter of weeks. Secondly, I would like to thank them for teaching me how to kill the miner killers.. The last 5 attempts to kill my alts has ended up in a win for me. My last successful concord assisted kill earned my a 3.7 million isk return on investment. So Thank you CODE for forcing me to play a little more defensive in my mining experience.
PS I am currently selling Macha Mong Ruad's Anode Light Ion Particle Cannon I x6 for half the price. They have only been fired and dropped once! Oh I am keeping the Mag Stabs and 333 rounds of Caldari Anti-matter charges. :) |

So what you are saying is, all I have to do to prove you wrong (given your use of the word never) is to react to this slight that you have given, this insult regarding our ability to handle insults as adults, in a mature and calm manner?
I can do that. |

The Code is a boon to code-compliant miners. Every time a miner gets ganked, the number of people supplying minerals decreases (albeit temporarily) and the demand for minerals increases (the ganked miner and the gankers need new ships). This drives ore prices up, which miners who don't get ganked (because they're following the Code) can exploit.

My in-game friend used to be a miner like me. Then he got really angry about some other miners. He joined CODE and starter ganking miners. Within a month he left the game. I knew that would happen. He was just burned out and emotionally unstable at the time.
I guess some people are permanently emotionally unstable.
But thanks CODE for failing with several attempts on my overtanked mack. It provided me with fun once in a while, change of scenery helps.  |

The fact that you are mining in an "overtanked" mack means they are already winning. Back in the day all you saw was max efficiency hulks. You can talk about their emotions and bullying all day, but they definitely left their mark in high sec. |

He kept his macks, so its a win for him, and gankers lost their ganking tools, so what they earned? Moral victory? Would need them being moral people, the act of ganking is immoral by definition. Violent behavior against completely legal high sec mining operative. They got nothing. I see CODE propaganda mainly being an internal thing, to keep people believing they are still relevant, when they are not.
Forcing people to mine in slightly less efficient way isnt so relevant as it may seem, because you can have a lot of them Macks in High sec, whole fleets mining.

Uhmm are you a troll? "Ganking is immoral"? You know you are playing a game primarily based on non-concencual PvP right? And a ragtag of nerds (as emotionally unstable as they are) even slightly changing the area where 90% of the playbase reside, which also has the biggest restrictions for player created content, is nothing to sniff at.
Forcing a whole group of low interacting players to change their whole playstyle is relavent.

You must be troll to question CODE immoral nature. Their acts are outlawed by CONCORD. So its out of discussion.
And mining isnt all in high sec, there are fleets of mining ships everywhere, mining unbothered. I take the cake. You can have crumbles.

Morality in this context sounds a lot more irrelevant to me than CODE. First player driven organization? Basically every corporation with director who logs in and plays is just that. Goonswarm, PL, TESCO, those corporations are recognized outside game more than CODE. I would say the news about fights are more sellable than your CODE members ganking new players. CODE would paradoxally need to step down if they would be so famous as to be first to be heard of in a game. Because they would have no targets if everyone would adapt to the environment where all CODE have is the same unflexible methods. They would be left with non executable doctrine and no area of gameplay in the game. They would be bored and boredom would kill it. Miners would win. Actually CODE rules are selfdefeating for that corporation in longer run. Every member is working to shut down its own corporation. Its like a suicide cult. Suiciding ships to feel better about themselves.

I did read about PL around the days I have joined. Umm, hearing about TESCO for the first time, besides doing my shopping there. 
But I'm not a good baseline for drawing conclusions about a general player populace, as I do a lot of reading, research and such before comitting to games even far simpler than EvE, not to mention that old and infamous space-epic. Let me risk neither are you, based on by the tiny slice of your activity I have seen so far. But I didn't mean corps you read about the news or see in videos. I mean corps that someone without prior knowledge actually -hears- about ingame.
Maybe it would be wrong to assume that most new players just see a flashy spaceship game, or a new F2P title on Steam and jump in, but I carefully avoid assumptions about 'most new players', thus I pick words like 'many new players'. Because I can back any of my claim about the latter.
I listen to people in local of the newbro-systems, Rookie Help and in some voice-channels where random people get invited en-masse. And I yet to see the Swarm or the Legion mentioned there. Yet CODE often pops up, especially when someone asks mining related questions.

The real problem here is that something like code is still possible....
Gankers of any kind should face 500k damage at the second of the first shot in high and their and their possible preys wrecks should set "out of buisness" for anyone except the prey.....the prey may freely took what he wants as compensation....but touch them(with an alt as it is done now) as not involved or the criminal himself and also face 500k damage...and on and on and on...as long as they get it....could take a while 'til they get the message i guess.... |

again i understand why some would be drawn towards the idea of 100% sefety in hs. i would urge you to think one or two steps further than your own risk avertion. imagine what would happen to the market if hs would be 100% safe. If war deccs was the only way of fighting in hs what would happen then to the small time solo player? HS is damaged as it is with the level of wardecks going around. Ppl are isk fat and perpetual wardecks is a thing. if you want to strike a blow for improved security in HS start advocating for wardecks to be more expensive. If you have your way small corps will be obliterated as hs gankers turn to wardeccing and citadel hunting istead. Your only option is staying in NPC corporations or joining an existing mega corp.. and thus you kill of any chance a newbro has of stating a small corp and building it up from the ground congrats you just killed off another important funtion of HS in your persuit of life in a NPC corp without risk ...
and then we have the market. the large alliances and corporation who are strong enugh to survive in the 100% gank free HS of yours would have virtual monopoly on HS minerals and good mission running stations .. |

yes the trammelites are loyal yes they are dedicated and they are proletysing their non violence religion to as many mmorpg-¦s then can .. go try out UO (dont leve eve id want you here even if we disagree on this) you will see what i meen try out DDO ( an even lesser game then UO but then again it was made with no world pvp and no non concentual pvp in mind unlike UO) try as many mmorpgs as you can you will see that the ones you like the most (like eve) will be made with non consentual pvp in mind... |

Becoming a modern game? From another perspective... Many gamers could suggest you 100-1000 multiplayer games that work exactly the way you want EvE to be (the number mainly depending on how many games they tried). On the other hand, a very knowledgable gamer maybe could list three multiplayer games where constant danger of losing much progress is a thing.
A cynic who enjoys one of those three would say to you to please move to one of the other 1000 options that are exactly like you want this particular one to be. But it would be a lot nicer to suggest you to -try- enjoying that very unique setup, because you have zero~ish chance of encountering anything like this again (and if you did, you'd probably wouldn't enjoy them, as they are like EvE, just even harsher and less forgiving).
They say Alpha clones are only for trying stuff. I say it's just the Hard Mode.

this so much this. im just to polit to say HTFU and GO back to (take your pick of 100% safe MMO)
old UO EvE and the other niche sandbox open pvp MMORPG-¦s out there are slowly becoming extingt. so yea your ideas are the polar oposite of what us old farts fell in love with in old style MMORPG-¦s if you want a Modern themepark safe space to goof around and to collect achievments and farm you stuff to build your dollhouse... pls go else where. i prefer a game where there is a risk i get my perfect sand caslt kicked over. where there is a reason (other then to get those shiny purplez that will be totally obsolete the next expantion) to group up form clans (corporations in eve fyi) for instance mutual protection aganst the Dewds and PK-¦s ( read pirates gankers and fully legit corps who just want your resourses) it is this dynamic that is EVE .. it is just a luck of the draw that eve isnt an avatar based fantasy MMO rpg since many of the devs where old UO players.... (cause now i have the chance to make that game moahahahaha) so yes the guy who wrote that up there is 100% correct
this is not for the faint of heart this is eve and in eve the epic loot is ganker and greifer tears.... so gang up form up and make your own safety be it in HS LS NULL och WH .. |

I've heard them all and i give a dam.....
PVP ist still possible if you have to ACCEPT it first like done in the duel option...the software code is there just a slight change has to be made...
All this gibbering about "EVE is a pvp game and would change to the core if something is done against ganking(not pvp,hear what i say this is just about ganking in highsec)" is pure nonsense.
The gankers disturb MY game and that's all that counts.... I don't care about THEIR game,it simply does not interest me....
And yes..this is the same gibbering THEY do every time an anti gank wall is discussed whereever....
PVE: "i want to fly safe" PVP: "That's impossible,MY game would be changed to the core" PVE: "but you can do...... PVP: "Impossible,EVE is a PVP game" PVE: "but.... PVP: "Impossible,that is MY game,go away carebear"
This is how a "discussion" about this theme goes....
Change is bad..... The issue is that under the current system the careers of "miner" and "ganker" both exist. You seem to want to change things so that only the career of "miner" exists. I see no reason why either playstyle is any less valid than the other. In EvE, you are not safe anywhere by design. There are plenty of counters to gankers, so why not spend your time looking those up instead of whining?
I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

That is absolutely correct and the most clever thing I have heard since I play this game. As for the market drivers, those who think it is player driven, they need to go back to school. CCP is controling the market from behind the scene. How and from where do you think all those loots come from in the first place when dropped in null sec ?... from CCP pseudo random generation software.
And regarding production, duh ! |

It's crazy to me that some carebears honestly think that the devs designed Highsec and CONCORD and honestly didn't consider the obvious consequences of the system.
Welcome to EVE Online, where griefing isn't a bug, it's a feature.

I have no issue with CODE itself.
Their impact is negligible anyways, and if nothing else, helps disrupt the unthinkable free/safe transit of material in EVE.
My only concern with CODE, is that it also comprises some associations by proxy, to players that have taken griefing too far. The Bonus Room crap was utter cancer.
Blow up all the miners and freighters you want, but never, ever, try to attack the person involved, especially not by holding their ingame assets hostage so as to extricate them from the games systems.

Don't forget there are other parties that would be negatively impacted by your ideals such as your competitors and people who simply like f%&king with gankers.
I find it odd you've joined a PvP sandbox MMO and now complain that it's a PvP sandbox MMO. It's akin to buying a racing game but complaining it should be an RTS. Surely you're better off playing one of the hundreds, if not thousands of other MMOs that don't offer the PvP sandbox.

I have never understood this idea that one have to enforce ones views on how EVE should be played on other players. As a member of EVE:s most peaceful Player Corporation I take pride in not shooting other players in the face but I would never try to push our Credo of non-violence on other players.
It sure sucks to get ones ship blown up and especially if it's filled with loot but if one chooses to view it as a opportunity to learn rather then a personal insult EVE:s dangerous nature quickly becomes more fun even for a PvE-focused player such as myself.
On risk you must see that it's one of biggest selling points of EVE. When I go out exploring space for sites to loot Wormholes are by far the most exiting places since you have no Local and thus no idea who else is in there. If you can get to the point where you embrace the constant risk as something positive and exhilarating your EVE experience will be much better. If you instead chooses to remain adamant that the game must change to suit your current view you will just get dissapointed and should really look for another game and save yourself some time and possibly money.

You made me laugh pretty hard, LOL. I am not a CODE shill. My lack of killboard should confirm that to you from the get-go. As well as my security status. I've typed until I was blue in my fingertips that CODEs pilots get off on your impotent rage. That the RP is crafted pretty specifically to **** off folks who are emotionally invested.
Supposing I had mined, supposing I had been podded into zero ISK, and spammed with emails about being terminated. "And how was that gank by the way?" Suppose I'd logged into the Miner Bumping chat channel and immediately been told I "needed a permit, cuz rulez."
I still wouldn't get bent out of shape. I still wouldn't be hateful about it. I still would think chatting with them was fun. And I still wouldn't pay them money that I didnt want to. (And you don't have to. You don't have to do anything you don't want to in this game dude.)
Because it's a game. Your blood pressure will thank you. (And I'm still not a shill, but that made me laugh.) CODE are playing the game how they want to. The same toolkit is avaliable to you. If CODE have made it abundantly clear that they are trying to kill you, and you don't want to be killed, why not make a game out of avoiding them? That's what I would do, if I were mining. It doesn't mean I have to act all angry about it. Even if I get caught. It's a game. |

CODE are a disgrace to the name of PVP, on a par with Marmite and P I R A T who just hang around trade hubs with wardecs to get easy kills.
Yes, I know the names I will get called for a post like this. No I am not advocating making hisec safer. I just do not like to see people give CODE any more attention. Not because I have lost ships to them (I don't mine), but because they are basically forum bullies in GUI format.
You don't like some of the features of EVE? Fine. Play something simpler. But don't make the mistake of thinking the features are bugs, loopholes, or other unintended or undesired aspects of the game. It's Working As Intended.
And I've said it before and I will almost certainly say it again - please don't pay for their idiotic permits.

Yes, everyone can see very explicitly how not-butthurt you are.
Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

Quite right. Don't pay ISK if you dont want to! But where is the fun in being quietly furious?
King Bob-Omb caught me once and chucked me off of the mountain. I was displeased to have to re-do some of that progress, and re-climb back to him... But the trivial challenge didnt personally bother me. It was a game. "Try to avoid being grabbed".
You see? It's fun. |

I've said it before, I'll say it again: All play styles are valid. If you want to be a "psycho griefer", go ahead. If you want to be a miner, knock yourself out. Same goes for mission runners or explorers or any play style you might think of. However, every profession can be played well and it can be played poorly. Those who play poorly may just find themselves gettin' rekt by CODE. Those who play well smile and wave as CODE are powerless to stop them fly past. Those who are really bad get rekt by CODE then complain about them on the forums.

Just give us the possibility to mark ourselves as "no targets" and yes that means less prey for the dumpasses,but that's a price they have to pay for not letting the real players alone.... There will be enough preys,but at least they will just shoot each other and not people who don't share their view "how a game has to be played"....Who wants it can do it,who not will not... THAT'S "all playstyles made possible",not the current situation...
As i said,i don't care about THEIR game or their side or their strange hobby,MINE ist 100% important...they do the same so it's me or them...and i choose me....

Of course, EVE being what it is, if you're doing almost anything you're performing some level of PvP where another player is losing out. If you mine, you deprive another player of those asteroids. If you haul goods from one system to another, another player loses the opportunity to fulfill that contract. etc.
Quote:Just give us the possibility to mark ourselves as "no targets" and yes that means less prey for the dumpasses,but that's a price they have to pay for not letting the real players alone.... This option already exists. Just right click a station and click "dock".
=====
EVE operates on the principle of risk vs reward. If the possibility of failure can be reduced to zero, there's no way to differentiate the performance of one player from that of another. Under your system, there's literally be no way to make more money than your competitors than to simply grind more than them.
That " grind more to make more" philosophy is a big killer of MMOs and would be particularly devastating to EVE.

I often wonder whether code. Members simply pretend to be a "frustrated victim" simply to launch a thread where they can repeat all their bullplop claims.
They ceased to be relevent in any meaningful way quite a while ago, but their reality distortion bubble seems to have quite the power source.
There are one or two highly active gankers, who do most of the heavy lifting, the majority are simply hangers on basking in the reflected "glory" pretending to be in some way important.
So do not be over concerned with Code. They are important and relevant only in their own eyes.
Simply don't be stupid and fly all your worldly goods in a paper bag, be aware that sometimes you will get killed, because asshats.
Above have fun, there is almost nothing more fun that watching players commit suicide by cop, whilst sipping a coffee and giggling in a well tanked ship.
And above all, never never acknowledge their existance, treat contact requests from them, like spam email, there is nothing to learn from them.
Have fun. |

I'd argue that a completely careless playstyle is not particularly viable, unless such a player had the means to purchase plex, and the willingness to do so on a regular basis.
As for CODE....
Eve is not risk = reward imo...it's more knowledge+effort = reward.
The ease with which a person may be ganked is directly proportional to the effort that player is taking to not be ganked. If a player has the knowledge to "play safe" but doesn't use it, that's on them. If a player doesn't have the knowledge, then getting ganked is the incentive for going out and obtaining it.
My first ship loss ever was a gank that happened during the tutorial (such as it was back then). I'd been playing for all of 20mins and had almost no knowledge of the game. That gank gave me the incentive to go look for information, and pointed me towards what information to look for. Within an hour I'd learned everything I needed to know about baiting, can-flipping, high-sec ganking etc.
Knowledge is power. Sometimes the first step to obtaining knowledge is to know what questions to ask. Getting ganked in high sec is an indication that questions need to be asked, and answers sought. This is a valuable experience. CODE. are the kindergarten teachers of high sec, they help people take those first steps on the path of knowledge.

Brother, the odds are fantastic that OP is CODE. And you're going all in on explaining how stupid and insular CODE is, and how the thread is in general, probably low-grade troll bait.
No ****.
But here you are. Unable to help yourself. Responding. Feeding. Being invested enough to explain how uninvested you are. You're desperate to explain in the light of reason how not desperate you are. You want to be the dagger of logic in a thread of monkeyshine.
And CODE doesn't "always win"... Unless you measure having fun. They have fun all the time.

OP is quite obviously a troll. He should join Code. No, the Code really does always win. If you set out to serve as a player-driven source of risk and to generate content in highsec, you win regardless of whether you lose a particular engagement or fail in an attempted action. And that is not to mention the win of the entertainment value of it all.
The magic of the Code is that it is a document designed to create player interactions and to shape the face of highsec and it does that by its very existence. Players have had to adapt their game play, or perhaps they just explode and have their gameplay adapted for them because a small group of players have taken up the mantle of serving as agents of risk in the safest space in the game. It gives meaning to player actions, and applies pressure on the players residing in highsec weeding out the dullest, laziest and greediest of the bunch. It makes highsec into a bit more of the game CCP envisioned, instead of the no risk or no challenge push-button/receive-bacon farmfest it was fast becoming 5 years ago. That vision of highsec barely even qualifies as a game, and certainly not one worthy of a game like Eve Online. Highsec still has serious problems, but it is much better now under the care of the New Order than the empty-of-conflict carebear paradise certain game changes had put it on a course for.
The great irony of this all is, that despite all the teeth-gnashing and whining about the Code that goes on, the New Halaima Code of Conduct is the distilled essence of the Eve Online and thus how CCP intends for the game to work. CCP has purposely put criminals into the game to keep players in highsec at risk to other players. If you want a religious analogue, it's like James 315 channeled and interpreted the ideas of the almighty creator (CCP in this case) into an easy to read document to guide players to play the intended game.
This is why the Code can never lose. Unless Eve Online is sold and the new development team throws out the original design documents completely thus Trammelizing the game, the people who uphold the Code are blessed by CCP and are doing the creator's work. Whether a Knight of the New Order succeeds at exploding you, or just their very presences forces you to take protective actions, the Code has impacted your game as CCP intends, and this contributes to emergence and your connection to the living universe of New Eden. Eve Online is not a single player game, nor is it one with a "safe space". That fact is manifested and enabled by the Code.
What the uninitiated and naive Eve player cannot seem to understand, or maybe just are unable to accept, is that the Code is an idea more than a real organization, and you can't kill an idea. Sure there is James 315 and his blog which serve as a banner to rally around, and there is a useful SRP as part of that for new/poor players to join in the fun, but all that could go away tomorrow and yet carebears would still be exploding left and right in highsec as CCP intends. Players, not NPCs, are suppose to serve as the aggressors in this game (and to provide the content), and highsec is not immune from that. The Code is the embodiment of that idea. Something happening in highsec is better than nothing happening in highsec, and this is one of the core ideas and aims of the New Order and its Code.
You can't stop the signal, at least as long as CCP stays true to their original vision of the game. This is why the Code always wins. Always.

Yes...excactly THIS "standing true to the original vision of the game " has to turn around 180-¦ or else ccp will loose it all...

Why a change? All is well.....and who cares about "carebears" crying for a change? Just mute them....

So why don't you go and play one of the many thousands of the other "nanny" games you hypocritical piece of useless carbon?? There are countless games with no pvp that you can farm digital pixels until you drown in your own boring existence. Why do you want to come to the only game that doesn't cater to your sensitive feelings and want to ruin the only actual game with any real sense of loss and danger?
The market has fuking spoken and guess what, after 13 years this game is still up and running with a healthy and an extremely loyal player base, more than most games out there, and this isn't even a triple AAA game.
And nobody is saying no to change, as long as it is good change, a change that doesnt go against everything the game stands for. How typical that you speak of blinders when it was linked multiple times in this thread how the developers themselves agree and encourage the behavior of the so called "bullies". |

Sad.... Yes, yes, Eve is dying. Or the more complete version that comes out of the mouth of carebears: Eve will die unless CCP changes the game to be what I personally think I want it to be.
When I am extremely bored, I like to go back and look over various forum posts from long, long ago. If you go back to the beginning in 2003, you can find several posts claiming the exact same thing:
Pirateing?....or just greifing.. Well hope you all enjoy what left of this game. Pirates runing EVE
What can we learn from these examples (other than people could not spell very well back in 2003)? Carebears have been calling for increased safety since the game for over 13 years claiming (obviously wrongly) that if they don't get it the game will die. Another point to note, is that like today, these posts almost always come after a loss where they have been relieved of their stuff against their will (AKA 'sore loser syndrome').
Well they were wrong then, much like you are now. Eve Online is suppose to be a harsh, full-time PvP sandbox. If anything, it is much less harsh now than it was at the beginning, but CCP has still stuck to the single-shard, open world game design they conceived the game as. That might mean it isn't the game for everyone, yet their are clearly enough players that enjoy this type of game play that have supported Eve Online with a longevity almost unique among MMOs of that era.
CCP knows what game they invented and it's far too late to reinvent the game in an attempt to chase some other segment of the gamer market. The risk is far too high they will alienate the existing players with such a fundamental change, exactly as Ultimate Online did when they tried that gambit. It is much better strategy to let Eve roll on in maintenance mode for the next decade or more as a marginally profitable core universe that can be the setting for other games like Gunjack and Valkyrie that can go after the gaming dollars of other types of players.
Face it, the carebears lost. Almost 14 years of whining failed to get CCP to give up on their vision of the game. Kudos to CCP and their fortitude in the face of all those tears.

Blimey, getting a bit dramatic there, Clockwork.
My problem is not with game mechanics, or that Code are allowed to do what they want. It's more to do with the people in it, and then the people that give them credence as a thing to be worried about.
It's like people that have a problem with the police - it shouldn't be "the police" you have a problem with, but individual policemen.
You can imply I'm not having fun, or getting mad, or "triggered", or whatever the latest tiresome inane phrase that young people say these days happens to be. I do play the way I want. I do have fun. "The Code" doesn't bother me. People like OP bother me. People that say they are saving Hisec by sploding miners bother me, cos they are about as connected to reality as Trump (well, not that any of us are connected to reality when discussing a computer game, but there you go). Yes, sometimes I post my opinion in a forum. Sometimes people come into the same forum to post that it is their opinion that my opinion isn't valid. This also doesn't bother me, but I do like a good discussion.
Why can't people that defend Code see that I'm not advocating banning PvP, or saying Eve is dying, or any of the other tired old rhetoric that inevitably gets spouted in these threads. Just want people to be honest about why they pick on easy targets.

I understand what you're saying. But you understand that the RP is silly, yes? So... ignore it. OP shouldnt bother you, going on about how righteous the CODE is... Just carry on.

I would further argue that changing the game to a more carebearish type is exactly what would doom EvE. You'll hemorrhage veterans who hate the new design, and you might not attract new players anyway since you're now space MMO #3472.
I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

I'll admit, before I got into EVE, I didn't like the idea of losing my space pixels and didn't think the game would be very good because of it. Then I learned how to play.
Everything changed, man. Everything changed.

we have been hearing this argument pretty much since i started playing and likly since the game started .. history tells us that you are wrong.
yes this is a neiche game. we are perfectly fine with that as long as it stay true to its purpose. CCP has a clear target customer and is catering to that. (and no its not the gankers even if they are included) so seriously get with the program or do yourself a favour and get out. wow is not for everyone and neither is EvE .
and if a direct quote from the devs doesent open your eyes im gonna put you in the troll pen and stop trying to make you see my point. it is clear you dont care for anything but your own entitlement. hf fly safe and i hope to meet you in wh space (given you ever undock)

See. Still not interested in whats been written.
Please check my kb. Plenty of billions in carebear mission ships, and 1 careless loss to an actual reasonable Marmite member who hunted me patiently. None to Code.
Your actions do not bother me. Your statements do not bother me. People considering you worthwhile of permits do bother me. I'm not butthurt, or hurt anywhere else (for all your name-calling and playground-level abuse), because Code haven't hurt me. Keep reading into my points what you will, you keep missing the actual point. |

I believe the fact that you are bothered at all is what is being commented on. CODE doesn't need to kill you to bother you... So, sans any kills from CODE, your bothered level should be zero.
Yet your bothered level is high above zero. "High out of spec", we call it on a submarine. You have no CODE deaths. But you are bothered. And in your H.O.O.S. condition, you're in a huge hurry to tell CODE how what they are doing bothers you.
That's whats at play, Bigpuns. (And also I don't believe any name-calling occurred. )

I'm not butthurt, or hurt anywhere else (for all your name-calling and playground-level abuse), because Code haven't hurt me. Keep reading into my points what you will, you keep missing the actual point. Well you did say that you want people "to be honest about why they pick on easy targets." The implication of that is that you are bothered by the fact you think some players lie about why they shoot weaker targets then themselves or that you think you know better at why some players commit such acts than they themselves do.
Well, to put you at ease and salve your bother, I will tell you why I shoot "easy targets". These reasons are personal, and may not reflect why other players do so, but since you did imply that I, or other players like me, lie about why we do what we do, I think it worthwhile to explain.
I am motivated by a various (and sometimes varying) combination of the thrill of stalking a target, the satisfaction of taking the resources of another player instead of having to grind them myself, being part of a collective effort to impose our will on the game universe, and an altruistic motivation to create content, and to enforce the risk vs. reward design of the game.
The first two are quite base, I will admit. There is something primal though about scouting a target, laying a trap or ambush, and springing it without them catching wind of me. Sure, the rational part of my brain knows that they are most likely watching Netflix or making a sandwich in the other room while they AFK mine or haul in highsec, but there are always a few wily ones that smoke the imminent gank just in time to get away. Along with that is the satisfaction of taking their hard earned loot for yourself. You are really "winning" Eve by taking resources from another player with a fraction of the effort they spent collecting it. That is, by all definitions, smart (although perhaps immoral) play. In fact, the players who want to be shot the least are the ones you need to shoot the most as they are the ones with the most valuable stuff. I know I am at my most reluctant to PvP when I am moving few billion of goods in my hauler.
The "higher" reasons I shoot weaker players than myself are also quite clear to me. There is great long-term motivation in knowing you are part of some larger effort to make a mark on New Eden. The New Order has set a goal to reshape highsec, and has made progress. Almost every highsec resident knows about CODE. now, and has experienced or witnessed the consequences of autopiloting, AFK mining or reckless hauling. I have no illusion of how complete out control is, and it shouldn't be complete given it is highsec, but there is great satisfaction in seeing the riskiest of bad behaviours diminish year after year. Hulks, which used to be the norm, have been replaced by Skiffs as the most common ship in belts. That is a direct result of our collective efforts to explode the low hanging fruit of any yield-fit miner we can catch and is most satisfying to see.
More generally though, even before I pledged my efforts to reshape the face of highsec in the name of the Saviour, I originally decided to "Be the Villain" in this game as that is how it has been designed. CCP made the game so that the players would serve as antagonists and create content, so some time after my first attempt at Eve failed after 6 boring months of nothing happening to me in highsec, I decided to try again as "bad guy" and make something happen. So I made a pirate and got to work, enforcing consequences on the complacent and those taking risks, while generating content and player interactions along the way.
Risk vs. reward is important to enforce, given that in Eve it is only the players who do that in highsec. It is almost impossible to lose a miner or hauler to NPCs, so if no one is willing to call the other players on their choice to fit yield module over tank modules, then the game is lifeless and one-dimensional. For fitting choices to matter, there has to be some pressure on highsec residents, and I don't mind culling the lazy and greedy, especially if they are carrying some valuable stuff I can take.
I know exactly why I shoot other players, and usually "easy targets" as you would define them. Simply, it is because they have something I want, or they are not complying to my will in the space I claim, and I do this for the greater reason of creating content and enforcing risk vs. reward in highsec. Now, that may not be why everyone else does it and I won't claim to know what motivates others like you are. But I do know that regardless of the reason, it is completely legal and intended game play. Therefore, it really doesn't matter why they do what they do. Whether you are getting shot by some psychopathic tear collector playing from inside an insane asylum, or by someone who sees you have made a mistake and wants to take your stuff, you have to react the same to that threat and defend yourself.

I have finally decided to tip my toes into the shark infested waters of New Eden after years of reading about it, partly in response to the incredible opportunities on offer to those that grab them with both hands. The various "criminal" groups that operate are examples of people that have done so.
I think I may try to gank someone in the near future, I'll probably fail miserably but I don't care because it looks like fun.
After all Eve is a game, and games are for having fun.
My heart can be yours, for a cost. Assorted limbs and organs also available to order.
