That degenerated rather quickly into your typical childish behaviour once you are out of arguments (not that you had any real ones to start with). I guess there is nothing more to say then and I accept your subpar reaction as a surrender.
Calm down gankbear.
I don’t give a monkey’s what you think or say, it is as simple as that, but you seem to care so much about what I say
It’s like they always say:
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. And CODE personnel has lots of experience with argumentation on the lowest levels of human depravity and below-average competence.
You are right. This is why I opt out of talking to people like you and many others, once they show what they are made of.
How nice that you cannot do this really on this forum. Luckily, muting only prevents notifications from showing up, but not messages appearing to you in the topic.
… yet none of what he did say you ever can prove wrong.
@Ima_Wreckyou , seriously.
Dont try to claim you arent playing the meta and influence game on these boards.
There is nothing wrong with you doing so, but be careful how far you take it, and dont pretend you are not, infact, doing so.
Ive watched you here a long time, and of my antagonists, you are one of the few that I match response rates with. We have gone many rounds together.
Ive seen your “insulting one-liner” period come and go, and your “essays” period.
My advice, is tone it down with the personal insults. Ive seen you at worse, but you are sliding back into it.
Its not helping you nor suicide gank discussion.
That is part of the beauty. : - )
Nitpicking here, but I want to jump into the realm of communication just a bit.
Can you tell the difference between “My advice is” and “I ask you to” ?
The former puts the “giver” above the “receiver”, as someone who is in a position to give advice, which puts the “receiver” into the position of someone who needs something, meaning he lacks something, which can, and depending on context and person,* will cause an opposing reaction.
The latter puts both onto the same level, which means less room for possible conflict in such situations. It is also more accurate, at least in the current situation, because it is about not only what you would like to see, but also what every reasonable person should want to see.
Good post there and I wholeheartedly agree, though to be fair, you both need a down ime from each other due to all the accumulated experience from recent and further past.
That is all. Just trying to share some practical knowledge and experience. : - )
(*here, on this forum, it is far more likely to cause an opposing reaction compared to, say, Stack Overflow, who have high standards and lots of intellectual discourse.)
Yeah thanks for your concerns Salvos. If the truth is insulting to you or Drac then maybe just don’t behave like that and I don’t have to call you out for it.
Feel free to present a post where I “play the GMs or Devs” and ask for a change to the game in my favour? And no, pushing back on others who want to change the game in their favour is not the same.
Playing the meta this way is just another form of cheating. That’s my opinion and I don’t see any reason to think otherwise.
Sorry, but that’s NOT how everybody plays. I certainly don’t, and as far as I’ve seen, it’s not how @Ima_Wreckyou plays either. And this is from someone that lost a Loki and two Cynas to him…
Well, for the record, I do see @Miatsu_Tzash’s point of view, I do believe she’s honest about who she says she is, and I don’t think she’s naive nor foolish.
I haven’t been paying attention to these issues in the forums until relatively recently, but I have to say everything I’ve seen so far confirms what @Ima_Wreckyou said here.
I do agree that, if things were as you said they were in that case, that particular bumper/ganker deserves everything you’re saying here about him and similar behaviours you may have observed, but as far as I can see, that’s NOT normal CODE behaviour and certainly NOT @Ima_Wreckyou’s behaviour.
Add me to the list of players that are here for the reasons you say, please, because I happen to agree with most of the things he says about these issues and also find it incredibly annoying the never ending attempts at nerfing suicide ganking one step at a time for all kinds of bizarre “reasons”.
Are you sure? Did you notice that his claims are always completely vague and heresay?
It’s like if I just tell you here that your alliance scams new players and I have a person on the inside whom I trust.
Now try to prove me wrong.
Or would you not think it was actually my burden to deliver some prove of this baseless accusation? Do you think that is different with Dracs rambling?
Like loyalanon?
Which one? The thing about can flipping? I remember the time it was changed. There was doom and gloom in forums with claims exactly like Dracvlad gives “with suspect timer we cannot do stuff”.
Or maybe his story about buffing of destroyers damage output and changes to mining ships years after?
As i wrote: you never actually prove wrong Dracvlad’s claims while trying to paint him as trustless person. As result it backslashes.
Wow, how pointless to write the same thing you already wrote again and completely ignore the rest of my post.
So your corp indeed scams new players?
But that is how CODE and Miniluv play it. You know about the freighter wreck EHP buff don’t you. That was when AG starting blapping wrecks in small cheap ships, the speed that it got changed was amazing and then CCP to balance against it ,realising that they had been duped increased freighter EHP. And teh gankers started bleating about a nerf to ganking on the forums…
When the guy who had been pushing for wrecks to have increased EHP due to Titan wrecks and Super wrecks being blapped to deny loot left the game and AG started to blow up freighter wrecks a person known as Endie took it over, he was the CEO of Bat Country which was the corp that War Akini was in when they were in Goons, he was the main Miniluv freighter ganker, so you can imagine what happened. Endie used his contacts to get it changed post haste. In all my time playing this game I have never seen such rapid action from CCP. And to be brutally honest it was a truly bad moment for me, because I was one of those that were involved in pushing people to gank the wrecks. I am very angry at the incompetence of CCP here. So you tell me that they do not do this, well I beg to differ.
Very well written, however the sucking up was too obvious, seen it before.
Yes Ima plays a villan, so what, I could start listing all the exploits used by gankers that I have seen. But play by the rules, hmmm, not so much.
First of all the GM’s do not even read these forums, that is common knowledge, I have known that for at least 6 years that posting here is not going to have a single note taken of it in terms of GM’s. Seriously, you have not worked that out. I am not playing the GM’s because they don’t read what I post. Take my point of view on bumping, I think it makes freighter ganking too easy and gives too much strategic advantage and has no realistic counter play. I want it adjusted, but would accept lower freighter EHP in return. But I want to end freighter ganking is what they tell me… As I said to you the other day, your failure to understand that is your issue.
Don’t you think it would be better if they had to catch and gank the freighter on gates and the freighter can play gate games if they are smart. A bit more counter play. By the way gankers used to gank freighters on gate like that before they worked out how to bump.
And I have seen Ima post again and again crying about nerfs, complaining about skill injectors and stuff like that, seriously Ima is one of the worst in doing forum posts to game the GM’s. If they of course read these forums
Ima is one of the most obnoxious poster in these forums, and bitter to boot. You do know that they are cultivating you. In any case I have seen them be truly obnoxious to people, reading minerbumping in itself is enough to see that. Though I do find the humour in it.
I have noted over the time I have been playing how they post and try to come over. For example you do realise that many of the dumb people in the AG chat channel are in fact ganker alts, not all of them mind you…
So are you telling me that the bumping mechanic with a no consequence point that can hold them in position for hours is fine which is in fact the only thing I have an issue with at this point.
Mining ships are at the right level, miners have options, this is why I do not do what you do. Which is kill miner gankers, because people can use a Skiff or Procurer and fit it for tank. So why bother?
This game is supposed to have counters, or does it?
And is supposed to be hard, but a no consequence point is very meh for what is supposed to be a hard game and the amount of ISK they make freighter ganking is out of wrack. So if you miss the point I am making I am totally not bothered. Actually I am, because it is a key point to the game being hard, but not for gankers…, it is too much of an advantage!
For the record, I have nothing to do with CODE.
Nor am I a fan, really.
Another code tactic. Shift the focus with a false claim to detract from anyone that doesn’t share their point of view.
I’ve never seen Dracvlad post something that wasn’t true. Ima Wreckyou on the other hand…
That ultra SJW Grand Design comes to mind. OMG was he a toxic guy. He even threatened people with his gun on the forums. Can you believe that?
Oh wait you can, because that was your alt
I’ll find other ways to extract the value. Should be interesting. Good luck to @Azure_Wyvern and @Grand_Design AKA @prosto_Vovka .
He even threatened people with his gun on the forums.
