Is it just me or does having a Hulkageddon in the current market seem very illogical?
on one hand players are complaning about the rising prices of ships and moduels because of the increason minerals prices.

but at the same time they are going out of their way to try and limite the supply of minerals even further buy killing the very ppl that could held drive the price back down where paying for pvp becomes resonable again.

guess i just dont see it as that fun to kill stuff without any risk, if that's what i wanted i would play modern warfare or some other mindless nonrisk pvp game.

but yeah i dont really care im only profiting on it. i just dont understand the appeal for the pilots doing it.

The people behind this have no interest in the market; they buy their ships/etc with real life monies in the form of Plex and GTC.

Hulkageddon seems unorganized....

You imply that those who gank hulks in highsec don't profit from it. Since all you need is a catalyst and the boost for player ship salvage, you will turn a profit on every gank. Every now and then you hit a jackpot.

You attempt to assign logic to a group and process that don't understand the meaning of the word.

The people behind this have no interest in the market; they buy their ships/etc with real life monies in the form of Plex and GTC.

They only have a single focus; to ruin the game for as many as possible.

Their highest achievement is the rage-quit. They consider this the pinnacle of success.

These are no secrets. They have openly bragged as much, and continue to do so at every opportunity.

Once they finally manage to kill this game, they, like the invaders portrayed in the movie Independence Day, will simply move on to the next game that catches their attention, rinse and repeat.

There is no logic in this, so stop looking for it.

The best thing you *CAN* do is to ignore them.

Refuse to play the game their way. The greatest feature of EvE is that nobody can really dictate your gameplay; that only happens if you fall for the ruses and traps.

Just ignore them.

Best thing to do right now is get a mining barge or invest.

FYI Goons never stated they'd kill the game, they'd kill your game.



Its logical if you have made a not so wild assumption that the mineral price increase is down because people are buying up the minerals and then selling them back to the market at ever inflated price. Currently all those minerals are sitting in Jita being trickled back into the market to make massive profits, with huge stashes saved up to sell now the prices is massively increased.

Hulkageddon is about fun but also about making a massive profit of people through deliberate market manipulation mixed with a steady drop on mineral supplies.

Best thing to do right now is get a mining barge or invest.

Yeah all those miners should be jumping with glee! Go mine like crazy for a few weeks and then stop for Hulkageddon. About half way through sell your minerals - make money. Really its almost worth stock piling your minerals for a year and wait toll the 'geggen comes round. I certainly am hoping to profit from a combination of destroyer/hulk and mineral sales.

Ok, fair point. give me an exact date that hulkageddon will start and I will do that... can you/anyone do that?

24th of April right after Jita gets burned to the ground (apparently).

It's probably too late for the latter, to be honest.

without risk lol, we have CONCORD that will kill the gamkers if they commit a "crime"

Thank you (hope your right)

That is not a risk (where the consequence is chance-based), it is a certainty, though.

Hulkageddon seems illogical

How do you figure this is illogical?

-Raise price of hulks
-Raise price of the stuff it takes to make hulks, thus raising the price of hulks further
-Profit

Bottom line from my perspective is that Hulkageddon may have had a point at its incepetion, but now it just adds bounties for killing ORE ships and related industrials when the players are doing this for free+kicks+giggles year-round anyway. Oh, I'm sure it adds ePeen for the "winners" too.

Whatever floatz yur boatz boyz. I have far more fun things to do than gank the wimpiest ships in the game using cookie cutter builds/strategies.

Sounds like you don't understand that having a contest with prizes is fun.

But I always forget that PVE nerds are all NO FUN ALLOWED.

And you are all about Fun ofcourse

I'm 100% all about fun. In particular my fun, and the fun of those I socialize with.

Specifically, I care absolutely nothing about your fun, anyone that I do not know personally is just a boardpiece in a game.

Anyone that claims differently is deluding themselves.

Do you feel bad when you undercut someone on the market? No? Good. You just PVPed someone in a non-consensual fashion, just like I do when I destroy a ship.

Those who like to claim some moral high ground about space pixels are just giving themselves a mental reach-around.

congratz on YOUR type of fun

Why is HG corp practically DEAD? Can we revive it again? I seem to be the only main active char in it.

I'm not reactivating the account that has orphanage on it, but you should feel absolutely free to run it if you want, I left you with director right?

Leme check lol


Nope... big red X's on all Roles. ping CCP or a GM to get them to set it.

cool, let me know if they need my OK or anything, I'll happily give it :)

The imagined pixel superiority of elitist low secc PvPers who think doing anything else in a sandbox game is n00b and for carebears it a much better point of view then?
Its like democrats vs republicans both sides are filled with evil douchbags, but neither side see themselves that way.

... This is a subtlety of EVE that seems to elude most of them.

It is lame to tell others what they elude only to make room for your little world. You are eluding the main aspect of MMOs and that it is not just another single-player game. Now you want your view to be understood, which is that it is all just a board game to you... Does this not make you feel terribly stupid or that you are living one hell of a lie? I cannot take you serious. If I picked up your view then I would ask myself why I am talking to pieces of a board game and why I want them to understand me. It shows how bonkers you are.

You're dumb and you didn't understand what I wrote, but that is fine.

I don't think carebearing is dumb or bad at all, without them, who would build my ships and weapons?

I do however feel that many carebears have a stick the size of the statue of liberty up their backsides and incorrectly assume an imaginary moral highground, based on the fact they cannot recognize the fact that everything THEY do is ALSO non-consensual pvp.

This is a subtlety of EVE that seems to elude most of them.

Another full of himself toon

you misread, ...

No, I read you perfectly fine.

Another person dismissing an argument outright because they don't agree with it.

elude

It is an argument now to say people have a stick up their backside? If so then you can add yourself to the list.

It's hard to admit when you're wrong.

So many threads and talk about hulkageddon, Jita and so on, that will change nothing.
Sometimes I wonder, why waste your time, it's illogical.

Another person dismissing an argument outright because they don't agree with it.

You keep using this word. I don't think it means what you think it means...

Oh good you can use Google to find a dictionary.

Oh good you can use Google to find a dictionary.

I can also insult you in 20 different languages on Google :)

Yay for Google!

Now you show us what you can do.

I can type the works of Shakespeare... as long as I have them in front of me.



Oh and semi on topic, Whack-a-Hulk is fun, why does logic matter?

Hulkageddon is not illogical, it is actually quite the lucky break i was hoping for, assuming that mineral prices will rise like overcooked milk.

It's very logical. I have been making money off it before it even started.

Can I buy some pot off you?

The event is also fun for the players taking part in it, which is the entire point of playing a game, so no matter what your views on the rising prices are it makes perfect sense to take part.

Ok let me get this right...

Wrong. It is about how much you fail to grasp the very idea of this game. It is about having fun. No matter how much you post in this thread will not make me believe that you are having fun.

Why would I not have fun pew pewing hulks? I now have a gankado fit that can solo alpha TWO hulks at the same time, isn't that FUN?

I am sure you will have fun doing it just as I am sure a psychopath or a nun can find ways to entertain themselves. It is your attempt to explain it to yourself with rationality and in all seriousness, which tells me that you must be suffering from our comments. Or as we say, no rest for the wicked.

Wow, 4 guns for each hulk? What kind of hulk?

Wrong. It is about how much you fail to grasp the very idea of this game. It is about having fun. No matter how much you post in this thread will not make me believe that you are having fun.

The players complaining about the overall economy are the ones who comprehend deeper issues than the Hulkageddon folks who don't really care about anything but adrenalin rushes and yucking over their beer. They aren't shooting themselves in the foot as far as they can see, since they're using cheap ships and fits to get their yuks. They'll keep "ganking", calling it a "style of play" when they find it takes too much effort to earn anything in the economy they've created, and call you a crying carebear for noticing its absurdity. It all makes sense somehow, especially if your goal in life is to get drunk, belch and bellow with your buds.

I love people with style.

Ok let me get this right...

You play a game... called Eve online... this game is about the cruelty of space...crime etc... and you complain about crime etc...Why do you play the game?

Reminds me of the idiots that cry they cannot make isk... I ask them what the game is about... crime etc... I ask them if they have done any crime... they oh no no no nono no I won't do that! I am honourable blah blah... well you see. that is why you cannot make any isk...because you are not playing the game as designed!

Mining is the cornerstone industry of the EVE economy.

Why play eve if you're going to hate on an emergent player driven event? Name me a MMO where an event like this could happen, nothing seeded by CCP just pure player content. I fail to understand why people play Eve but cannot accept the inherent risks involved with the type of environment CCP created.
