Why do people shoot each other in CS? because the point is the shooting, not what happen after you shoot.

Hypothetical situation:
In a 1v1 non-war situation in lowsec you blow up your opponents ship. You have already proved you have the superior ship/setup/skill or whatever. Why do you then add insult to injury by podding the opponent as well?
Some intelligent reasons please. Let's try to avoid the "cos I can" answers that prove only that abortion really is a necessary option in some cases.
Edit: for clarity
Edit: Stupid damn forum
You already know the answer to your pointless question because you've already made the judgement. You just need jerks to post in your internet thread to make what you feel and believe is valid but all you are doing is proving you are a self-righteous moron.
And obviously you think you are better than everyone because you don't pod people and since you feel that people who actually play the video game (blowing up everything including pods) should be aborted, I say go fck yourself.

Because I can.
Because, at the end of the day, this is a game of ISK. Blowing up their pod is just the same as blowing up their ship, its a cherry on the top of the metaphorical gank sundae. Mercy is for idiots.
PS: Sounds like you got ganked  .

I also forgot about the hatemail. God, some of the juiciest bits of hate I've ever gotten was when I podded someone out of implants.

What i find funny is that podding someone (By CCP's definition) should actually be considered "grief play" as pilots do not profit from it.

No, they drop loot. In fact, they are the sole source of one two special commodities.

You don't consider a material loss in a war of attrition a benefit?
How about removal of a pilot from the battlefield to prevent them docking, buying a new ship, and rejoining their comrades? (Assuming their clone's set all the way 'over there' somewhere at least).
How about denying someone further intel on your movements and operations?
Pfft. There's very little in EVE that is _actually_ griefing.

Not upset. Don't get ganked a lot, many of the targets disappear when my main enters the system. I've been podded twice but it didn't hurt me since my clone is still quite cheap. I only fly T1 ships with T1 fit so sometimes I even make a profit on some ship losses anyway which pays for the clone and some left over.
Just wondered about the reasons for podding.
I usually only pod if the person gets verbally stupid just to make them disappear out of the system so I don't have to see their dumb comments in local. When they start on about how they are going to come back with an uber gang after me, I couldn't be bothered with them.
As for what happens after the fight, it depends on my mood. I have been known to give isk to a couple of players to buy a replacement ship when I found out they forgot to insure them. That's usually only if they put up a good fight though and the chat in local showed they were just having fun rather than taking it seriously.
I don't really RP so I'm not a pirate or anything, I just fly around and have some fun and find a few fights here and there. I'm not into costing them as much isk as I can just for spite. If I did, it just means they would be more likely to run away next time instead of putting up a good fight for a bit of fun. My gameplay is not about getting into a role and being really nasty or taking Eve seriously, I just want to wind down after a hard day at work and have a good time.

Why? Because as a cov-ops specialist, that's all I *can* kill :(
It's also nice to let people know that I have their safespot by letting them wake up in a clone chamber and not have to worry about "how they're going to get through xyz gatecamp alive"... the answer is: you don't, don't worry about it.
Seriously, implants help a lot and taking them out of circulation keeps implant costs up and helps to keep the number of snake-infested pilots as low as possible (although catching them is another matter).

Podding in EvE is what t-bagging was to Counter-Strike.

I pod because people don't offer me money in lokal to do not. I don't allway's pod. When the fight was honourable or fought with courage I leave the pod out of respect for the pilot.

Quit handing out advice about being mature until you have the ability to understand the difference between accept and except you elitist ****.
Get podded much? bit sensitive maybe? is the advice incorrect because of a miss-spelled word? but I wouldnt expect much more from a 22 day old char who does get podded

Half the time I can't lock the pod before it gets way.
But If I do, I will kill it for a Couple Reasons
1.I feel like it
2.I feel like it
3.More killmails
4.See reason 3.
5.See all of the above.
If its a WarTarget- it dies, no questions asked,
If it has a bounty- it dies, no questions asked,
Everything else, depending on the character age, I will ransom it for X amount of money.
And podding sometimes just De-moralizes people during War, best way to win a war [other than blowing people up of course] is to De-Moralize your enemy into not fighting imo.
Nothing like not having th emotivation to get into a ship and fight ^^

The better question would be WHY NOT pod ?
Good answers to the "why not pod" questions would include:
* you don't want the secstatus hit (not appliable if you're at -10.0 or close to it already, even below -5.0 it might not matter)
* he gave you a good fight and you feel bad about squishing him
* you promised not to pod him while fighting and plan to honour your promise
What else... I'm really drawing a blank here... I think that's about it, really.

Straight up douchebaggery.
I wish I could give some fancy answer about implants and such... but seriously, I just wanna be a dink on the internet. A couple billion worth of snakes or a one day old alt from the pastor tech school... you're both going to the same place. |

Popping pods is like popping bubble wrap. No one on gods green earth can resist the temptation. Thats my theory and im sticking to it.
Happy podding.

Can't say I've ever podded anyone. Probably because my main currently exists to supply all the Faction Warfare dudes with Rifters and Rockets.
Aside, If did... I'd probably do it due to the mental reason of it being a "real" kill, and also the fact that its a renegade activity.
