Just for your entertainment, you should probably read this thd if you want to know what a niche game this used to be. I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the game though.

I got a post in that thread. I’m still grumpy about them adding Warp to 0km. 😁 ---

Didn’t care about that. I was good at making warp to 0 bookmarks, and I was raking in ISK selling regional packs of bookmarks so people could fly safely. An entire industry gone overnight, destroyed by something today’s players take for granted. ---

Ya, I uploaded the wrong screen shot. It’s been corrected. As to the thread, gankers shouldn’t be allowed to elevate the status on credit cards. ---

> [@Ax\_l\_Thorne](#): > > Gankers try to elevate their real life social status by ganking pixilated spaceships. But I’m not a ganker. I was at one time, for about a month, but didn’t find it interesting. Well, actually the little sh\*t that started code didn’t like that I wouldn’t put his stupid little permit scam in my bio, and kicked me from their chat. Odd how not promoting risk averse game play automatically makes me one. Tells me quite a bit about you that you think this. 🤔 > [@Ax\_l\_Thorne](#): > > I have to say something about the thread. Someone has a raging epeen for me and has been flagging everything I post. I got under someone’s skin, livin’ rent free in their head. 😃 What’s your score? Mine is 5 in the last 2 days.

It’s 30 degrees cooler up here, but the internet sucks. > [@Ax\_l\_Thorne](#): > > nd that’s why gankers shouldn’t be allowed to elevate their social status. Now this is downright delusional. There’s no social status for being a ganker. Literally the only group that thinks they’re elite PvP is them. Everyone else laughs at them behind their back. Some of us laugh in their face. ---

You keep on doing that and lying to yourself that it’s elite PvP, but I’m not going to feed your delusion that what you do is remotely difficult or challenging. Your play style is more risk averse than that of the miners you hunt, and only you life losers fall for the propaganda that it’s not. 🙄 ---
