"I want eve to cater only to my interests at the expense of those of everyone else"

Extremist and biast BS prescribing how people should play the game. Another atypical ganker considering little in terms of how one sided the commodity of fun is controlled from the ganker side.

You can see this from the persitent need for tactics to be erroneously heaped onto the trader who have to go to lengths according to the argument both in infrastructure and skilling to be effectual. Whereas the Ganker wishes to maintain his low investment, lack of comeback or any adaptation for quick isk generation.

Which only goes further to support how much of a preference the systems are in favour of gankers.

Crime does not exist, guilt somehow exist yet only in our "heads" ... crime is an idea, laws are ideas, rights are ideas.. they are cute but they are ultimately imaginary.

There is always an suicide option .. life is overpriced.
You are born
you do plenty of meaningless ****
you die ..

nothing to see there..

To the OP and anyone else thats aggravated by so called 'griefing':

Start taking on the responsibility for your own safety yourselves. Once you start to figure out what you could have done differently to keep from getting killed, you stop relying on someone else to keep you safe. Congratulations are in order when you take on that responsibility yourself because you just stopped being helpless.

Tired of running? Want to be more than just a target? Start by doing solo pvp. Yes, it is hard. Yes, you will be outnumbered. You can still fight the odds if you use your brain. Think about every single loss and what you did wrong. Dont make that mistake again if you can help it. Tip of the Day: Physical objects in space slow down and/or stop ships. How can you use this to your advantage?

Note that I say solo pvp and not any of that group hug stuff. Being told where to fly, when to fly there, what to shoot and when to shoot it turns you into a fluffy bunny waiting to get eaten. You wont learn very much that way and start to lose any pvp edge you once had.

Make the game yours and you too will scoff at the helpless people wanting their hands held and not doing a thing about it themselves.

No, that would be the victims. It's trivially easy to avoid GÇ£griefers" and the only way to fail is if you're too complacent not to take even the most minute precaution.

Yeah, it's not "broken policing systems," it's working as intended. If you want to kill me in empire, nothing at all is stopping you, but you may lose a ship to Concord. If you want to kill me in my home, better bring a gang. If you want to get someone else to kill me, better have isk on hand.

Either way I'll die if you really want to put in the effort.

If a coward griefer can kill you, what's stopping you killing them? Or are you saying you are a bigger scrub than a coward?

It's also funny to see a forum alt try and belittle others by calling them cowards. What a joke.

I managed to derive at that from playing the game. It had nothing to do with you. I'm simply saying that what you claim is the exact opposite of what the reality of the situation is: it's not the gankers (note the correct wording here -- calling them griefers is retarded) who have it too easy and who are complacent, or we'd see a whole lot more of it. It's the victims who have become complacent because of the ease of survival, and it's this complacency that gets them killed.

If their life was a little bit harder, they might actually wake up to the fact that a smidgen of a defensive attitude is needed, and this would in turn keep them from being victims.
What's broken about it?

No, that would be the victims. It's trivially easy to avoid GÇ£griefers" and the only way to fail is if you're too complacent not to take even the most minute precaution.

Stop whining, quit EVE and go back to your rollercoaster MMO you used to play.

If you stay, please state the location, guess a lot of grievers want to play for free by killing you over and over again.

EDIT: OP is just stupid ******. If you think others are telling you how to play your game, you are doing something completely wrong. If you get ganked every time you undock from the station, you are doing something wrong. If you think you can play EVE without the risk of PvP, you are doing something wrong. If you resub 5 times so far to find out that nothing changed, why do you come back to complain (aka you are doing something wrong).

When OP finally unsubs and never comes back, YEAH, he finally did something right for the first time in his EVE life.

btw, don't even want your stuff how nice it might be, as all it will remind me of is the utterly stupid people who think EVE is a theme-park MMO where CCP hold their hands every single minute and kick any people with bad intentions in the balls.

Nope.
Are you familiar with the generic "you"?

As to your Lion analogy

So it's not really that the player retribution system is broken (since bounties aren't a particularly large part of it and since they don't actually allow any retribution to begin with).

More accurately: it isn't a player policing system.
The player policing systems are still working (at least until the clueless and complacent victims manage to bully CCP into nerfing them).

Nah. The bounty system is just irrelevant.

The most important avenue of policing in highsec are wardecs and kill rights. Adding transferrable kill rights would make things even better, but that doesn't mean the current mechanics are broken.

I suppose you could argue that people would shoot -5s more if the bounty system was working, but I doubt it. There's already rewards for doing so, and people can't be bothered to do it anyway.

Way ahead of you, mate:

Hilarious stuff. You do realize that every means available to "grief" you, is also available to you? Not only that but anyone that "griefs" you by killing you unprovoked in hisec will then be targetable by you with no repurcussions. You seem to want CCP to do something for you, or perhaps other players? Sounds to me like the very definition of both complacency and cowardice.

Yes, yes it is terribly easy to gank soft targets in high-sec. I've had two alts ganked in high-sec for the moon goo in their holds and understand where you are coming from when newbies get ganked.

I applaud your trying to add yet more things in game so those wronged have the tools for revenge available to them so they themselves can do something about it. I'm all for putting more tools into player hands giving them more options in game. Notice though that I did say, " so they themselves can do someting about it." Just make sure you are advocating for changes that put the power into the hands of the pilot and not game mechanics that do it all for the pilot.

Transferrable kill rights and a bounty system that pays out based on the value of the ship destroyed are both steps in the right direction. ( example; if a guy has a billion isk bounty on him and he loses a frigate, the entire bounty is NOT payed out and is rather small and about the cost of the frigate plus fittings, although if he lost a Vindicator and fittings worth that billion isk or more, you would get the billion isk bounty )

Now, heres the kicker. Its doubtfull even with both of those changes coded into game that the helpless would bother doing anything at all. Anyone capable of taking on the transferrable killrights is not going to do it for free.

To address your comment:

You should really look me up on battleclinic and take a look at my kill history before saying I'm a griefer.

Also if everyone in game was safe from ganks the market would gank you anyway becuase there would be no demand for ships or minerals.

Again, being a null pilot I could care less about the bounty system.

If you want to kill me in empire, nothing at all is stopping you.

I couldn't care less about the bounty system because it's a dumb system to begin with.

Certainly his name "Olleybear" in a corp called "I R' Carebear" did not hint at his gaming attitude.

No but he's not griefing, like his name implies.
