Corwin Pendragon	Posted - 2008.06.11 17:02:00 - [1] I really don't understand the mentality of people who do needless pod kills. Killing a ship for the loot is one thing, but then to do a pod kill for absolutely no profit seems to me, well, just malicious. There are good reasons for pod-kills: corporate wars, revenge, etc. But why for not apparent reason? Are there really that many people who play this game that get off on this sort of thing?

Tai Paktu Mortis Incarnatus	Posted - 2008.06.11 17:13:00 - [23] Edited by: Tai Paktu on 11/06/2008 17:13:43 I'll kill pods because they won't pay ransom. Or because the guy was smacking or being a jerk before, during, or after the fight. Also, because I'm an insecure, 47 year old acne-covered virgin who was bullied throughout high school and lacks social skills to carry on normal relations with people in RL who lives in his parents' basement. /sarcasm Enough with the attempts to psychoanalyze RL people via in-game actions. Even people who don't put on the wizard hat and cape still RP. I say I'm a pirate or whatever, I'm now RPing a pirate. If I catch your pod and you don't pay me, should I let you go? ______ http://eve-files.com/sig/TaiPaktu/sig3.PNG

Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.06.11 17:14:00 - [26] Pod killing for the most part gets the individual out of that area of space so you dont have to listen to the smack talk. However unless you are in 0.0 its so easy to get away in your pod that if your podded anywhere else other than 0.0 you deserve to lose your pod and implants. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
