I suspect that you sir are likely some sort of brigand attempting to trick me.

Yes, EVE is all about brigands. Those who excel in the art of being a bad criminal are glorified, promoted, and politically supported. This is an important factor to explain why EVE - after almost 10 years after launch - remains a niche game. It's a cult, a sect, a religion of a minority who mostly seek an outlet to nurture their bad side.

Tomayto tomahto. I choose to see it as the only game whose population is still growing after 10 years, the opposite of how it goes in most MMOs. Besides, being a niche game isn't a bad thing.

brigands and highwaymen

all of you


scoundrels!

There is no place for those like me that would like to create a better future by engaging in law-abiding activities. If EVE were really a sandbox, we "carebears" would have tools at our disposal to seek, promote, and even enforce our way of life against the brigands pounding at our doors.

A brigand game - what would you expect from Icelanders descended from Vikings?

So, even when the "real EVE players" drop by, they comprise less than 10% of the population of the system. When their digital nailbiting session ends, of course, they comprise 0% percent, and the 100% just keep on truckin' like they've done all along. SO, to others reading along here, when people start up with this "all" and "everybody" and "everything" jibber jabber...consider the source.

yes, ist the victims fault for KNOWINGLY GOING INTO A LOCATION EVERYONE KNOWS IS DANGEROUS.

and like i said, if your too scared to fight for what you want, there is always the "law abiding citizens" way fo shelling out some fo your potential profit to hire some mercs to protect you, or are you just an evil eman greedy person who cant let go of a single isk?

Griefing, ganking, bashing, lying, cheating, killing, mass-murdering. That's the brigand mindset that EVE has created.

"She was totally asking for it. Look how she was dressed."

Hmmmmm food for thought.

So it's the victim's fault? Yours is the argument of a criminal.

and one trit ?

Eve isn't real. Food for thought.

Damn Straight.

It is their fault if they walk into a PvP area. It is their fault if they click accept on a contract without reading it. It is their fault if they transfer money with expectations of getting it back. It is their fault if they don't tank their ships.

Know why, because attacks on other players aren't crimes they are opposition game mechanics for an open PvP game.


That unit of Trit got me through some rough times.

"
It is their fault if they walk into a PvP area."

So getting ganked in high sec?

Though to be fair I think more base stats and fitting potential for Industrials, Barges and Exhumers would not be a bad thing.

Everyone has exactly the same tools at their disposal, its what you do with them that counts.

Let's say that someone scams 80 billion ISK out of you.

Perhaps innate hull resists? To reflect the industrial work being done inside?

Let's say that someone scams 80 billion ISK out of you. Want to punish him? The game provides no way to harm him as much as he hurt you, so your best chance is to identify him IRL, and then pay him a visit with some brass knuckles...

And, FAI, you can't punish crime in EVE Online, which certainly explains why there are so many criminals around New Eden.

Let's say that someone scams 80 billion ISK out of you

That sounds interesting, some hull res stats just for industrial class ships?

Fluff could have it be that they are built to hold hazardous stuff and what not so have stronger internals.

seems to be what the Mittens supporters are saying with the "this isnt important" talk.
Whats next podding IRL and collecting corpses?

Yeah, guess that wouldnt be a big deal either

Pointing out the flaw in the logic being used.

Its criminal logic.

Well, if we ARE podding IRL, that implies we have pods, which implies we're immortal, so actually, no, that wouldn't be nearly as bad as it seems.

Thinking things that happen in imaginary internet spaceship land are criminal. It's nutjob logic.
