Greetings all. In the spirit of this thread, I'm going to hijack it and attempt to turn it into something that will annoy and hinder the OP .
First off, salvaging someone else's wrecks out from under them is stealing. That much is obvious. How is it that looting a wreck is stealing, but salvaging it and taking everything isn't? You are undercutting someone else's work, taking something they fought and risked their necks for, and you aren't asking. Even kindergartners should know this part.
That said, I have nothing against stealing in and of itself. It's part of the game and I welcome it along with piracy, extortion and all the other goodies of a truly open universe. What annoys me, and many others here is the fact that the OP seems to be too much of a ***** to do it out in low sec, where he might actually have to have some balls. Then you have the gall to call other people "care bears" when by your own admission you're doing this in high sec. Try that horse **** out in low sec and then you can call others names, otherwise your just a punk hiding behind game mechanics and Concord.
On top of that, you're obviously doing it just to be a jerk. If you don't believe me, then why did the OP state that " the sweet sound of missionrunners' whining " was a benefit on line two of his first post? Playing the game is one thing, stealing is one thing, but this kind of juvenile crap belongs in eighth grade.
Well, how to deal with it. I have two solutions, and here they are. The first is that when I'm being ninja'd, to simply cut off the food supply. I won't whine (that encourages them,) I'll simply start shooting wrecks, let the ninja know I won't stop and keep shooting until he leaves. He'll get a few I'm sure, but the rest will simply be lost. Alternatively, I can simply leave. The OP suggested both of these things in his original post, then goes to suggest how to deal with it. Well, his tactics are weak, he knows it, and he's trying to discourage people from countering because he's a chicken ****. It's counter ******* tactics I realize, but others seem to consider this a zero sum game, and after a few minutes most of the *****s will simply leave. Even if you don't I have no problem at all, my missiles are faster than your afterburner and I've got plenty of em. I may not make any money off of it, but I'll at least get the satisfaction that I've wasted as much of your time as you've wasted of mine. Not to mention that I know that at least a few of you will be stupid (or clumsy) try something more aggressive, and then the next wreck you'll be salvaging will be your own. I encourage others to do this as well. The more common scorched earth is, the easier the problem will be.
My second solution? Bumping. I'll bump this thread often, and encourage others to do so. I'll also be posting this to other forums, (complete with a link to this thread) and bumping those to. I want to encourage others to deny the ninjas their prizes and shoot their wrecks. The more it happens the more of you *****s might actually go looking for real jobs and not just irritating the rest of us. I also want to encourage other would be ninjas out there to take up this profession. The more of you out there, the more of you to go bumping into each other and the less you will have to gain. Honestly Kahega, if it's such a great idea, shouldn't you have kept it to yourself? If it becomes enough of a problem, CCP might take an interest and change the game mechanic. It would only take a few lines of code, then it's open season.
Well, there are my two cents, I encourage all of you to bump and flame and do whatever you like. Just remember, better to fight then to surrender, especially being that you're only up against a cabal of basement virgins.
