It is based on controlling highsec - the permit is a line in the sand defining the good guys from the bad guys. The Code forces you to pick a side in the grand battle for the future of highsec.
Anyways, glad to see yet another player-created initiative to create content in the generally lifeless sector of space known as highsec. Good hunting to all those that participate!
The fact that you can turn on the television and see videos of African americans rallying and protesting against Cops, doesnt mean Cops are bad, or not necessary.
And no, i dont consider people flying freighters and mackinaws as “newbies”, although i agree their fits are crap.
But I agree. Its absurd to praise james so much. Its not like any other person in history has had buildings or museums named and dedicated after them, like Benjamin Franklin or George Washington. Its not like we have federal holidays named and dedicated after people, like Martin Luther King jr day. These are all great people, but its not like we give them any recognition or praise or anything.
Oh wait, we do. So why is it so weird that we recognize James?
Those people you mention did great stuff. They changed history. They sacrificed much to do that . What James sacrificed? A low wallet being filled with billions of isk by bot hunters that behave like bots themselves?
James posted a blogpost every day, EVERY DAY, for the past SIX years. He was the first to pioneer and spend, sacrifice his time to bump miners away from the belts.
Imagine having doing that for hours, hours on end, while your opponent is simply afk watching a movie or down to the store buying food.
When he started this movement, there was no guarantee that people would follow in his footsteps. There was no guarantee that people would care or read his blog. There was no guarantee that his time wouldnt be a complete waste. But he did so anyways.
What have you done in your eve career? Have you released a blog post every day for 6 years? Or even 2? or even 1? Have you inspired thousands of people to follow in your footsteps and create a movement that is so prevalent, that trillions of isk have both been destroyed and garnered? Does your name and movement get written up in out-of-eve game news media?
As far as reputation and movements goes in EVE, James has certainly done great things in this game, and changed the games history.
Woooow so hard to do that. All the vectors , angles, speed, really must be a math genius to bump miners.
What he does out of game is entirely on the miner, if he get ganked while that it’s his fault I agree, no bonus to James .
Life has no guarantees to anybody, what make him special?
Nope I don’t want to. I’m not comparing myself to the mighty James either.
Never said the opposite, he did influenced many people, economies , etc, but the point you missed miserably is he is not GOD. He may be a leaders an inspiration to the things you do, that’s all.
That’s only YOUR opinion, i got ganked before, we lost a very bad fitted exumer, I talked to the code guy, some chat, and gave him his good fight . You don’t know a penny about me “dude”, stop thinking that your opinion is the absolute true.
You’re a hater. That’s what you continuously put up for display.
You can call it an opinion, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re nothing but a hater. No matter how much you try calling it an opinion, you yourself keep showing everyone that you are, in fact, a hater.
Do you also find it kind of disturbing that there are people who actually believe all the crap that’s being said?
I mean … someone saying “he is not god” implies that the person saying this believes that everyone around this “god” actually truly believes all of this, which is rather problematic for the person believing it.
Nah, that’s a fact. All it takes is looking at your posts. The “everything’s an opinion” thing is just what you people do to make it sound like everyone’s equal and everything everyone says is equally valid.
