Originally by: Polly Prissypantz All the time and effort you clueless noobs put into stealing other peoples salvage could easily be put into something more useful... Like I don't know... Running your own missions and you'd actually make more ISK for your time to boot. But don't let my logical arguments get in the way of you being a jackass.
Your point is troll?, i can make more money on lvl 4s than i can mining in hulk but i still mine...does that make me a noob?
I know this is just a game and all, and the anonymity that 'teh internets' makes being a jackass extremely tempting, but there's so many options in Eve on what you can do for enjoyment and satisfaction. You may think it's not the case, but how you get your kicks in-game is a direct reflection of what you're like in real life (or at least, what you'd like to be like in real life if there weren't bigger, badder people inclined to show you the error of your ways were you to act that way in real life).
Now, some people choose to be peaceful and carebear and don't really get in anyone's way. Others choose to go live out in 0.0 and shoot at each other, where the challenge is real and any killing/greifing is generally an accepted way of life. Then there's low-sec pirates who, for the most part aren't too bad since after all, they are in low-sec, so if they gank you it's mostly your own fault.
And then there's lowlife losers who do crap like can flipping, suicide-ganking and stealing other peoples salvage knowing full well that there's not much the victim can do about it (for the record I've never been a victim of any of these activities, so sorry, no 'carebear tears' from me (I figured I wasn't being cool unless I included 'carebear tears' in my post since all the cool kids are)). Now I know, these are all well within the rules of the game. I'm not arguing against that. But at the end of the day, you know that there's another person on the other end who you're directly impacting by your lame choice of entertainment and self-gratification. Rather than putting any attempt into actually going out and challenging yourself, you'd rather take the easy route and just pick on the easy targets and then pat yourselves on the back at a job well done.
Each to his own I guess. Some people just aspire to be at the bottom of the barrel since it's so easy to achieve.
WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?!?!?!
No seriously, your logic and hypothesis that how people act in a GAME is a reflection of who they are in real life... are you serious? What are you smoking, and can I have some?
What about Role-playing? A lot of RPG's and FPSs, I've always been a chick character, you often get treated different and can absolutely kill people that let their guard down. I also love ninja salvaging, as most people don't even salvage that I've seen anyways. It's no surprise to anyone that random things happen in EVE, that's part of what makes it so fun.
So explain to me how a 6-4 hockey player can play as a ninja looting chick... am I a secret cross dresser? Am I a bully that secretly is an a-hole in games because there's nobody bigger to teach me a lesson in real life? (there are) Am I a thief in real life, or dishonest?
Please. Step off the high horse. I think you failed after you pointed out that it's just a game, then said "but"....
