In space, no one can hear you whinge about how unfair life is.
Sadly on the forums it's different.
What's up with the "whinge" btw. It started pop up some weeks ago, thought some kid spelt it wrong and now it's like a plague, popping up everywhere.
Someone nerfed whining?

It is a special word that cannot be googled, and it's meaning can only be discovered by asking on a forum.
Special word for special kids, huh?

If you get a sudden rush of E-morals and be a nice guy it will get you nothing but flames in local and attempted griefing.
Just last night I engaged a Myrm sitting outside a station dropping cans looking for a fight. I grabbed his can, let him wail on me until I got to approx. 3/4 of my armor, then returned fire.
He was helpless while I beat him down to about 1/2 his armor then thought "That should show him he isn't as uber as he's making out.", disengaged and left.
That got me local smack talk. This character was > than two years older than this one. Called me a 'noob' for "running from a fight" and trash talked endlessly for my very unconventional yet VERY effective fittings.
So I return to do it again, only 'rite' this time. Shooting begins and a corpy of his arrives and begins shooting also. I employ a tactical retreat (using my "What a noob!" unconventional fittings) and ofc the smack talk increased. Hollerin' in local that I'm such a noob because I ran from a fight.
I let the timer expire, return and drop a can of my own and announce to the two dips**ts there is a can for either one to take. Neither did.
Moral of the story;
Doesn't pay to be a nice person and have a bit of E-morality. Just kill them all and let CCP sort them out.
I can't help but believing anyone that do the can-fighting in Empire has to be a pre-teen. It's so obvious there will be tears, whining, smack, drama.
If you want a certain win, just shoot nubs in belts in low-sec (yes, it's definately possible). Or if you want the thrill of the hunt, try solo ratters in 0.0.  Or, if you wanna have fun with friends, roam around in fleets. Or, if you want 1v1 duels on a fairly equal basis - go to the test server.
Empire can fights is made for griefing. Thus, it serve it's purpose very well - keep annoying noicy kids too busy to do what the big boys do.

You got it all wrong, If someone wants to fight in empire, you do it by taking from a can and watching helpless idiots try to shoot you with railguns with over nine thousand rad/s while your drones kill his armor.
if you don't want to fight, that cans will float for an hour and then disappear.
Fair enough.
I just find it ironic about people posting about all these 'unfair' duels. Either some neut RR them. Or they bring friends. Or they run away. It's 90% smack. Always tears, or hate, or spitting, etc.
I'm sure some of doing it do it exactly for those reasons, but the others probably really want a fair fight.
(as for the guy I quoted, your story is pretty cool, and yah you don't get much for e-honour, but your story is just another example of why can-fighting never worked and never will work)

Once took up a fight with 2 BS floating along with a can, took up in a myrm, 2 more warped in, 5 logistic warped in and repped me. when they got shoot, they got back in and took BS, at the end we ended up killing 3 out of 4 BS without losing any.
no smack, no tears, just "gf" and looting.
..and what if you had been alone, expecting a regular 1v1 or 2v1? Your story only proves my point.

see a lot of the ******s who frequent these forums seem to think that making people quit the game is the best strategy to generate revenue for CCP. you know, less players = more cash somehow.
This game should come with a "your ********* must have already dropped into position" disclaimer before someone can play.
Are you one of the guys Karentaki was talking about?
Would love to hear you define who wants what out of the game. Personally I'd love it if as many as possible plays this game, it's awsome, and more targets/more interaction is imho good. The question tho, is, if you want to point finger at someone that just speaks up and says straightforward that their main goal in this game is to make others quit (you have certain 0.0 entities that do that btw).. or if you mean that we (the '******s that frequent these forums') want to make things tough for carebears.
If you mean the second, then you should really ask yourself what it is we really want. And then ask yourself what makes EVE different from other games.

How Grief tactics in Eve may have got its roots.
Eight monkeys were put in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.
Very soon, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder. One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room.
Seeing the bananas and the ladder he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious but, undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder. All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why. However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.
A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder but all the other monkeys again beat him silly. This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.
One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.
Regards
DC
