Closing your eyes won't make the problem go away. This isn't just about saving Jita, its about showing groups that there are people in hisec willing to fight back against anti-hisec player events. I'm sure there were lots of people who thought that as long as they didn't mine during Hulkageddon, it didn't affect them and it would just go away. Now we are onto what? Hulkageddon V?
So just avoid major trade hubs on the 28th. Act like this doesn't affect you at all, but don't complain when the next Burn Jita event happens, don't complain when a new player event happens that actually does get you killed or does start affecting your gameplay.
Hisec might not actually have its own sovereignty like nullsec, but it does have a psychological sovereignty in the form of what people think we're willing to take before we fight back.
Well, and how exactly do you think we should do that?
How can we stop the Goons from organizing events like Hulkageddon and burn Jita?
I've been playing EVE for almost 4 month now and I have to say I am quite disappointed.
I had great plans of being a miner and producer mining ore, refining it, manufacturing goods and selling them for profit. I actually thought that miner and producer is a honorable profession in EVE being the base of the economy.
But what do you get? Scamming, griefing, ganking and bullying defenseless players seem to be the right way to go in this game.
So you shouldn't be surprised at all that someone who got banned for his antisocial behaviour in RL is planning to terrorise players to celebrate his glorious return and CCP is doing nothing about it.
I don't get any joy from being ganked in my 300 mil. Hulk by 3 or 4 cowards in their 5 mil. destroyers without any means to defend myself.
I don't get any joy from my cans being fliped and all I can do is sit and watch.
I don't get any joy from losing my industrial and cargo just because someone else is bored.
And I don't get any joy from being forced into fights I don't want to fight especially if there is no way I can win.
So what can I as a single person do about all this? I'm afraid the only thing is to quit playing.
And that's exactly what I am going to do.
So if there are other players like me who don't get joy from being bullied around let CCP know and suspend your account to make your voice being heared. If there are enough of us maybe they will listen and give us a little space in their sandbox that dogs don't use as a toilet so we can play the game the way we enjoy it.
I'm afraid that's the only way we can "fight back".
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to whine. If this is the way this game is meant to be then so be it. It's just not the way I enjoy playing. But given the fact that the vast majority of the citizens in EVE live in highsec I can't believe I'm the only one thinking that way.
I also can't believe that there can't be a way to co-exist
WITHOUT ruining other players game. If there really is no way to respect players who want to live in peace or only want to fight
FAIR battles then it's best (at least for me) to leave sooner rather than later because I came to EVE to have fun (my kind of fun - without hurting anybody) and not to get frustrated.
And Goons, how about thinking of how to make this game as pleasant as possible for
EVERYONE and not just for a bunch of idiots?
So long pilots
and fly safe, even if it's not in the EVE universe
