Yes, many times near EC. It wasn't pretty for them, but they fought hard, and they tried some decent tactics. I guess lucky for us, we fought their trainees and not their instructors, as we fought them outnumbered.
Having said that, I have genuine admiration for the agony guys and Ivy league. They talk sense, and bring more people into pvp. They shatter the elitist myth that only maxed out pilots can compete
That means more combat for everyone, how can you not approve
Good luck guys, and merry Christmas to you

Originally by: Rells In conclusion, nerfing the game is not the answer except in circumstances where all of the above fails. Nerfs should be few and far between, carefully considered and the 0.0 players should be an integral part of the process, not mere victims to theoretical numbers, ****ed off carebears or stupid and lazy pilots.
The same holds true for boosting btw... - - -

If I had a million ISK for every time I've heard that exact thing said... well let's just say I would be significantly richer.
Oh, and I believe that every single disco BS brought out against AGONY to date has been destroyed with few losses.
(yes, our classes have been demolished once or twice by a smartbomber... but the ISK killed versus ISK lost is always tilted in our favor)

"Go read Crime and Punishment for a few days then come back."

This is an ALT post, meh, I cba relogging. Actually most of my forums posts recently have been on this char so it's probably my forum main anyway.
The OP seems to be making a few valid points:
- Good team work will beat bad or no teamwork - Good tactics will beat bad or no tactics - Good creativity will beat bad or no creativity
See what I did there?
Rells, your posts are just a huge fart in an already unbreathable atmosphere. You state the obvious several times over, and over, and over, somehow not understanding that everybody already knows this. You continually state that there are good tactics against nano-gangs but you have NEVER actually stated what those tactics are.
Besides all of that, you consistently post arrogantly using perjorative terms to refer to pretty much everyone who will read your posts. Calling people 'f1-f8ers' and 'howling whiners' who want to be 'babysat' is probably the worst possible way to generate enthusiasm for your ideas.
And the irony in this is that it IS possible to get your ideas accepted by the forum and also CCP. You just need the right tactics and some teamwork :)
Overall, people whining about nerfs (and you ARE whining) need to realise that this is the game they play. Everyone is going to get nerfed at some point, the only thing to do is use some tactical clues (see, I did it again!) and treat every nerf as a potential for you to adapt before everyone else.
See that...every nerf is an opportunity for YOU to demonstrate to US how AWESOMELY flexible and imaginative YOU are.
Instead of, you know, what you're doing now, which to be honest just makes you look a lot less awesome than you clearly think you are.

Edited by: Dromidas Shadowmoon on 24/12/2007 01:25:43 OPs right on pretty much everything, unfortunately OP is one of the minority.
the Rule of the Internet (tm) has proven to us time and time again that everything is dumbed down to the weakest link. Children use the internet? Make it as child safe as can be. There are other examples, but they are all offensive to subjects of the example, so I won't list them.
One glaring example is WoW, they made the game so easy a trained monkey could max out a character and lead a guild to success. That is exactly what makes its so popular, most people aren't curious, they aren't creative, they aren't innovative, they don't WANT to have to use their heads to excel.

If you need to prove something, then yeah, I always like a duel.
I traveled 25 jmps to fight, last time someone said this on forum so don't think I wont turn up 
what ship class you fancy btw?
But tbh, we can sort this out via evemail, lets not derail topic that much 
OT Agony provide an excellent service

And a select few of us DO want to use our heads to excel, I find it far more gratifying to know that I beat someone using my intellect and clever tactics and/or skill than because I have the biggest guns and the fattest wallet. That's why I joined EVE, it's not perfect but it is certainly the closest thing we've got. I'd hate to see EVE get dumbed down to the "a-monkey-could-play-it-and-succeed" level that is so common in MMOs.

Yea, it's the thing I like most about eve. If a game puts a players skill or a group of players teamwork above equipment or gear it's a game that'll keep me playing for years.

Originally by: Grimpak have to agree that the guy has some points, even considering who he is.
and:
Originally by: Flinx Evenstar
Originally by: Tortun Nahme
Originally by: Kaalen Say what you want about Rells, he and the pilots of AGONY taught me a huge amount during my time with them and he speaks the truth, skill and tactics are by FAR more important in EVE than skillpoints or F1-8. That is the way it should stay, I'd hate to see this game dumbed down due to the sheer volume of the whiners on this forum who don't have a clue.
you recognize the irony of whining about that right?
The OP has many valid points, and it's guys like you Tortun Nahme that could really do with listening to that advice
Keep on trolling, and losing those ships 
you sir just managed to totally wtfpwn the guy, in a way that he better not post any more until he kills at least a BS solo, unless he wants to someone quote him with that Kboard link
bye tortun, safe travels in your Hello Kitty account, which is where you should be tbh
I think it's the other way around Tortun pwns you guys.
Quite true indeed...
