Lady, I don't know you. I know some of the crew you choose to hang with, however and that doesn't bode well for your character's trustworthiness.

Profitability can be had without setting out to intentionally ruin the day of new and generally helpless players and it can be had in much larger portions.
Not with pirating and when we read the description of the EVE box we saw there:"choose a profession: Dauntless fleet commander or the most nefarious pirate ever to terrorize the galaxy". And we read:"Form a cartel of ruthless compatriots and control the spaceways. Buy, sell, and barter to amass great wealth...or do it easy way with hostile takeover". We dint read:"Go mining for months, use bookmarks and exploits to save your ass, sell the money on ebay and cry in eve-forums".

You made next to nothing if it took you 5 days to gather that much isk.
What i ever say: we are pirating in a perfect way but we earn much less than a miner. Balancing is bad for this high risk job. But we play our role and if we need it to do in Rifters: we wonŠt get traders or do NPC farmers.
Quote:
25 people, you say?
19...Zarq allways sees everything double and since we fight for 2, he thinks we are 25, 35 or even 45.

Mine or chain for four hours on a weekend and call yourself profitable and ready to head out for real PvP.
We were in 0.0 hunting NVAs, Arcadias, FAs and Norads for more than 7 months. There is nothing you can tell us about pvp.

You wouldn't do it if you didn't *enjoy* it at some level.
You should love your work. But i can understand you donŠt like the roid sucking.
Quote:
What you made is NOT enough to call yourself profitable after that much work with that many people involved. It would rank your activities as one of the least profitable, actually and leave only other types of payoff (of the sadistic variety).
But we had fun. ItŠs not our fault that we have to do mass killing. People dont pay ransoms since insurance pays well.
Quote:
Your excuse doesn't fly with me, sorry. It's griefing.
Check the EVE box again. Especially the word "terrorize". We will start to petition people that evemassmail us hatemails calling us griefers.

Gate camping is NOT a bad thing in my eyes, it is in fact necessary in parts of the universe and yes, it is horrendously boring most times.
Gates ARE THE FIGHTING LOCATION!!! I WONT CAMP IN ROIDS - cause there is no traffic comprende?
Quote:
Doing so in empire space and to mostly new players is a bad thing. By all means, though, continue. It makes you all easy to find.
Not our fault that alliance players have bookmarks and use the cloaking exploit. This makes it nessesairy to pirate in empire, because we cannot live from the loot of 3-4 BS we catch in 0.0. I guess CCP will learn to balance. IT SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN INDY TO BREAK THROUGH A BLOCKADE IN 0.0. Bookmarks and cloaking exploit (the valif tactic) makes it easy - unstopable.
