It's about time, we the players do something to get rid of the m0oboys. At first i just thought ppl are just exagerating, simply to make the loss of their frigate/cruiser not look like their fault, but the number of the incoming reports clearly indicate that the firepower of those griefing kids is well above average (about double of what a hybrid using cruiser can reach atm using anode weapons, and that per cruiser seems to be the consense of all reports) (and yes, they are defenitely kids, just look at that post from one of them "nanana ccp has done this to us, now we go and podkill as many players as we can nananana", lol, now if that isnt totaly infantile).

The solution to the m0oboy problem is rather simple if followed consequently and doesnt require any firepower at all.

The motivation those kids got for their griefing are:
-the admiration of a few confused minds
-the feeling of power, knowing that hardly anyone else has the ships equiped like them and only few work in teams using voicecomm etc
-and of course the abuse of their power, making ppl feel bad, enjoying making them suffer and pretending that they are roleplaying (lol, roleplaying a griefer, this is great, hehe)

So now the virtual insect spray for all of you who would like to make Eve a place of mighty corporations fighting over resources, manpower and other stuff. All we got to do is to "take the wind out of their sails" which is realy simple.

Just keep an eye on your local chat when not in station. If you are in a belt and the mooboys jump into the system you got a couple choices how to react. If your ships has a microwarp drive, simply warp to one of the planets or even better moons and activate the mwd just before warp ends, and keep it up for a while (safest is to change direction a bit). the effect is that no one will be able to find you (make sure u go 300+ km far).

In case you dont have a mwd, its still very simple. If you got a shieldbooster or anything else that drains your capac fast, just keep hopping from moon to moon with all energy sucking modules on, so after a few jumps only you will get the message "there is insufficient energy to warp all the way to the target". And this is just what you want, you end up in the middle of nowhere, perfectly safe. Make sure you dont accept any gang invitations from the mooboys or any people you dont know. While you are waiting out there for the kids to move on, take the chance and let them know in local what you think of them.

Do not try to dock or undock while they are in the system, a blackbird for example can jamm your propulsion, your warp and your targetting at same time, and reports indicate that even a single cruiser of theirs got enough firepower to make any attempt to take one of them out in 1 vs 1 pointless.

By just following those simple rules you state that you do not wish to play with the mooboys and if everybody handles it like this, they will move on to another game soon, as people avoiding them and making fun of them is surely not what pleases them. They need the attention they dont get in real life, and want admiration and or being feared, so lets just not give it to them. This griefing they consequently do has to stop. Of course there will always be pirate corps, and that is good, because it does add to the game, its just that the mooboys have proven undoubtly that they are not worthy to wield any power and thus dont deserve any respect or attention. Going around and podkilling people just for fun prooves a serious lack of character and gives me the impression that something must have gone terribly wrong in their development (well, maybe its just puberty).

I also suggest u skip the replies on this thread as most likely either the mooboys with alts or some mooboy fans will most likely post nonsense, containing stuff like "go play carebear game", "everybody can choose their own destiny" (which we can, but we have to face the consequences of it naturaly), "without the cowgirls this game gets boring" (far more boring is for people to be camped and forced to sit in stations, and i dont suggest this for all pirates just for our wannabe friends the m0oboys).

I would also like to ask people who agree with me, not to respond to any offensive replies in this topic, so this whole thread doesnt get deleted, but the ppl flaming and insulting can easily be removed from the boards. Also some mooboys try to sound reasonable and educated, i suggest not to argue with them at all, simply ignore them.

Eve is just a lovely game and we should do everything to get it more populated. And for this its inevitable to get rid of the m0oboys.

you are still reading? time to get back ingame and and follow your destiny....Eve needs you...NOW ;)

have a nice day
