I have a question:
Why put so much effort in to a method of griefing that is not only not very profitable but is also dull, and fails to actually iritate anyone of an intelligence and is merely a minor annoyance to the average carebear?
Not trying to flame you, you're free to do as you like?
Hmm, I'll bite.
First, to call what we do griefing is, quite frankly, inane. Check the nearest Crumplecorn sig for enlightenment on this point.
In terms of profitability, considering you can be a viable member of our corporation with less than a week's training, then I think ninjaing offers a fantastic income for a young player. Of course, carebears close this gap and overtake over time, but only through mindless grinding of a type that, frankly, I'm not prepared to entertain in a pastime I'm paying for.
This brings me on to your next topic: dull. Personally, I find hunting down other players very interesting. Every deadspace I go into offers a new and fresh encounter, which can hardly be said of a mission runner's experience. Sometimes, you meet someone really nice, and things end with mutual respect and fair play all round. Sometimes, exactly the opposite occurs, and one might be rewarded with an outpouring of vitriol sufficient to win our "Tears of the Month" contest.
I do what I do for many reasons. The money is acceptable, and perfectly adequate for my needs. I get to interact with other players, which is after all the main reason one plays an MMO. We get plenty of war decs to satisfy our PVP needs, and all our efforts contribute to excellence in this field: scanning down players swiftly and efficiently, great proficiency with the D-Scanner, familiarity with being shot at and what to do when it happens. Ideologically, it makes me happy too: we're providing the main check and balance to people who, essentially, are doing their darnedest to tilt the game's economy in the favour of those who are prepared to autistically repeat the same tedious procedure solely for the benefit of imaginary space money. I feel, if not like Robin Hood, then certainly like **** Turpin.
Finally, a question for you: if our activities fail to 'iritate' those of 'an intelligence', why are you complaining about us on the forums?
