They are obsessed with KM and Killboards. To them it’s all that matters. 99% of players don’t care about their own Kill board let alone yours. The whole thing with safety, gankers , james315 and his alts is just a massive delusion of grandeur “look at me look at me I’m important” don’t see any monuments to them anywhere do you , because they are nothing FCCP pay them no attention. Would anyone other than their fellow griefers miss them if they were gone ? Probably not. When the expand the Exo rules to all high sec they will just have to bog off back to Robolox with the rest of their kind 🙂 ---

> [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > Pathetic to judge someone only by his ‘killboard’… No it isn’t…especially with someone who, as in your case, tries to lecture everyone about EVE. Zero killboard basically says you have never taken any real risk in the game. Indeed, it is indistinguishable from someone who has never undocked. So no wonder you hate PvP. You are too much of a chicken to ever get involved in any. ---

That was a good one. I agree with, > [@John\_Rochard](#): > > It really doesn’t take a massive amount of skill points to mine ore. It does take a bit of ISK to mine gas. You do need to purchase a skill book. however your insinuation seems lost on this crowd, but I get it. 😀 I still am running solo, I don’t do the groups.
