I totally did it properly, and did not lose anything, but I docked up and logged so many times it was silly.

I lost jack, so not able to paint that one on me Dom.

So I repeat, option is dock up and log, and in the end I got bored with it…

Why do you complain if you haven’t lost anything?

How many times have you forced people to log off because of camps and whatnot?

There are others, but hey, you do you…

You need to explain that because it is meaningless as it stands, do you mean the one second server tick, which is not quite right, because you have to lock up the freighter. All they have to do is lock it up and apply point and bang warp does not happen, it is a sensor boosted Blackbird fit which is highly effective.

That one was using an exploit so I had the kill mail to hand.

Niarja, you can come in via another gate, you cannot go around.

Explained multiple times.

Well that was with multiple people, bubbles, DPS etc., especially on people who decided to roam into our pocket. Quite often actually, so what… It was a full on combat fleet there to kill them all, not a single Macherial with a suicide point.

Well you have a naff mechanic that you exploit the hell out of and you are entitled to it because if you do not than that is the end of ganking. Can’t see exactly what I have as entitled to, if you can show me something I have then feel free, maybe local…

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):

Citadels, well they only shot small POS’s anyway.

Watchlist, well hunting was dying before that anyway, watchlist was free intel for casual player so they could get a kill within an hour of logging in. Funny thing is that I did not realise just how casual most hisec war deckers really were.

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):

I have explained my issue with bumping, but if you want to project your fears on me, that is your issue not mine.

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):
>
> Salvos has the excuse of being a complete drooling retard with 70iq, is that better or worse then you who can never accept it when he’s completely wrong? 🤔

Salvos is actually rather intelligent.

Am I wrong that bumping is a naff mechanic, you effectively agreed with that above.

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):

> Bumping is stupid. (mainly perma bumping people for hours), but jfs, cloak warp, the huge hp these ships have, are all really dumb too. Bumping just shifts to balance closer to the center, if it didnt exist, highsec would be in an even worse situation of almost perfect safety.

Still I cannot get away from the point that you and others have decided to partake in an area of the game with restrictions and moan and whine about the restrictions that are suited to casual players. That is still a major issue for your point of view.

What is hisec? Who is it for, why are you who defines himself as a hard nosed killer in Eve playing around a part of the game designed for newer players and those that are casual and easy to kill.

I could answer that, but can you?

Yes, I was right. It is the victim card. Thank you, because this will help making more people realize what a phony you actually are.

Well… I might be wrong but “your alliance” usually form-ups to engage multiplayer fleets using proper compositions with possibility to be 3rd-partied and such stuff.  
And here people talk about suicide ganking solo freighter in high-sec where your only question is “how many catalysts/brutixes/SBs to bring”.

Again: i _might_ be wrong. And you speak about 1 hour formup for ganking solo freighters in high-sec. Then i’m sorry…

This must be your subconsciousness speaking.

I am not a shark, Australien Excellence is not a shark, people who die are not goldfish. Your perspective causes a bias towards protecting what you seem to perceive as weak people. You call them **goldfish**.

Apply this instead, because it more accurately describes reality:

They are humans with more or less sense for self responsibility and self preservation. Not sharks, not goldfish, not aggressors, not victims. You do not even realize that you do not see them as potentially thinking human beings, you see them as sheep on their way to the slaughter.

I do not know where this is coming from, but you are not helping yourself with keeping this up. The facts are all against you. The amount of people bumping, the amount of people being bumped. The actual impact of those who bump.

You want a change that changes something for everyone, despite it only affecting a tiny minority. This is the US-politics’ political correctness way of thinking. It is not reasonable and not rational.
