[posted in CAOD even if there is no Alliance for "Carebears" that I know of]
To GS, TRI and whoever else is ganking mission runners in Empire:
Seeing the recent development from the perspective of an after work gamer who *really* enjoys PvE and has *very* little time to do anything else, in the beginning I was just ****ed, but there is more to see and say about this.
Analysis: You beat other people up, because you want their riches and/ or "because you can", meaning it gives you "some kind of satisfaction" to act out your power over a group of lesser beings.
Sure, the facts that
a) they don't have someone to defend themselves (so you don't have to take risks) and
b) are "just carebears" (so you don't have to feel bad cause everyone know carebears are a minor, worthless, weak race) makes it pretty easy: You just count your ISK, knowing that can't be punished.
Plus, as Digital Communist has pointed out, maybe (after being ganked) the worthless maggots
c) may want to join you for protection, and you would of course happily recruit them, so
d) they can farm alliance ISK in 0.0, and if need be
e) you surely could "motivate" them into being PvP cannon fodder.
This behaviour is just all too human, but it makes me sick nonetheless. And satisfying it with "we just get at them because they have gotten rich on the backs of the working class" just tops it off...
Mark my words: This combination of greed, arrogance, selfishness and complete disregard of the well- being of other humans is the exact reason why we (the human race) **** up the REAL world RIGHT NOW. Child soldiers, relocated tribes in "reservates", genocide, pogroms, or, generally speaking, killing out of greed and jacking off in the process because it feels so great.
It just makes me puke.
I stopped reading papers and watching TV because I didn't want to be remembered constantly about how sick humanity really is; I wanted to forget the fact that we are like this, and now I can't even log into EVE without being reminded of what an utterly fascist scum race we are????
Thanks for reminding me though, have fun destroying the hard work as well as the pleasure of others. You have no honor, no dignity, no empathy.

Dude #1 its a game dont talk about "and now I can't even log into EVE without being reminded of what an utterly fascist scum race we are" if thats the stage your at take step back and ask you self a few questions.
We have no urge to grief people or have POWA issues why do they/we do it? Money..(source of all evil i guess  ) goons do it cause hulks drop like 50mill loot(sure as hell beats ratting) and well a nice ripe faction BS with 5-6bill in fits will bring anyone over to the dark side
My guess is you just lost somthing, really sounds like it if not someone you know and my thoughts go to you it takes alot of work to get that amount of isk together but as the eve gods say
Empire is safer NOT safe space
plus just look out for the 10 BS gang on a gate with a scout if you really want to protect you investment
(for the record i do know peeps who have lost 2-3bill in a gank and it hurts but take it on the chin and keep walking)

did you ever consider they might do it for profit? that it might not just be about beating up on carebears or ruining somebodies day.
Same reason piracy is so popular in this game. It pays. This is the way CCP designed the game, to be ruthless and cold where the only way to get ahead is at the expense of others. If you're flying a ship worth 10b in officer and faction fittings, and fly it around without some kind of security or scout it's only a matter of time before somebody notices.
And lets say half your mods pop, but the other half survive, that's 5b worth of loot. Even if only 1 mod drops worth 200m, it still covers their losses.
This has been going on for years. if ccp wanted to stop it they would have done so a long time ago.

So many whiney carebears who moan about PVP in a hardcore PVP game. I agree with the above post, I am starting to think about ganking some of these mission runners too.

Thats a 10/10 for getting highsec the attention of more 0.0 players bored with ratting and lagg-infested fleet ops.
Personally i find it refreshing to find a horde of concord on a gate outside a mission hub/jita, as you then realise that afterall highsec is exactley as it should be, not safe and cosy, but just as menacing as anywhere else in game(bar inside a station).
And if there was any other encouragement to visiting high sec, i heartily recomend salvaging, not the most profitable career move, but hey you get to snatch loot which with any luck will get some whiney missioner to shoot at you in his nice mission fitted ship, and trust me on this the smack off missioners is hilarious, if you thought the most ******** of smack in fleet ops was bad, just probe out a missionrunner and start salvaging his mission..
It's a bit like mastercard, priceless.

They are probably ganking some of thier own alts .
How exactly is hijacking mission-runners hardcore?

Analysis: You beat other people up, because you want
Would you make similar analysis why do people capture opponent's pieces in a game of chess?
It really is the same idea here; the game rules makes your ship valid target. Especially in this case when the movation for attacker is profit, instead of the grief they cause.
CCP is actually friendly enough to offer you safe environment should you want it. Play on the test server; rules there state that if you don't want to be bothered, you shall not be.

Actually, you should die in fire. Trying to sound funny out of those poor people out there struggeling to survive, makes you a horrible person. I'm reporting your post for what it takes.

Sadly you have picked entirely the wrong game to play, its design will never allow you peace. I understand what you say, and I have empathy for your position, but the reality is your complaint amounts to no more than a glass maker complaining about the injustice of having his crystal shattered during WWII. Yes, it is unjust, but its what it is.
I rather suspect there are not as many carebears in Empire as people would like to think, just youngling PvPers trying to make an ISK as they work their way up through the feeding chain.
The ultimate carebears are probably asian ISK farmers living in 0.0 space, paying for the privilege and being protected by PvP corporations who maintain they hate carebears. Irony lies kind of deep on the ground in this game.

How people play the game is no reflection of who they are as a person out of the game.
Because I blow up Blues, does that mean I'm some sort of psychotic that hates the color blue?
Because someone flips a can, does that mean they are going to go knock over a mine?
Because someone ransoms a hauler, does that mean they are going to hijack an 18-wheeler at a truck stop?
EVE isn't real life, hopefully no one is shocked by that statement...
