You’re never going to win against a superior player as when you win they were in fact the inferior player, because of lesser skill, the wrong choices, fewer backup, or many other reasons that cause that player to lose the engagement. So when would you ever celebrate a victory if every victory is against a ‘lesser player’?

I would just celebrate any victory and look back at any defeat to see what I can learn from it. And I don’t bother with this whole ‘that player is inferior so I should not attack him’ nonsense. If he’s undocked he made the choice to be involved in a PvP game, so he better be prepared.

It could be that, or it could be they were in an entire fleet and just happened to come across your 220 mil praxis as the next potential juicy kill. Spectre fleet does 20-50 man fleets all the time and it isn’t a matter of calling out or mobilizing anything. We’re there, we’re looking for content, we will all engage it if we can.

You got caught out unprepared. Where were your scouts? Why didn’t you know a fleet was coming when it was still 3 holes away? Do you even wormhole bro? Then you came here to whine about it because apparently you’re salty over forgetting the first rule of eve. Don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose. I have a mirror if you’re looking for the person you should be blaming.

Life is PvP. So, by your logic, every time my 88-year-old mother leaves the house she consents to PvP. AND, just because she’s not equipped or able to defend herself, it’s somehow her fault if someone attacks her and takes her Social Security check.

I know, I know, I shouldn’t compare Eve to RL…because it hurts your feelings. You can’t have it both ways. 🅲🅰🅻🅼 🅳🅾🆆🅽 🅶🅰🅽🅺🅴🆁!

I think you don’t understand much about EvE. The miners and haulers that we gank are not “defenseless or weak” - they are AFK autopilot bot alts for people who would not hesitate to shoot YOU if you came into the same system as their main. They are not your friends, and they are not innocent little angels.

Almost all new players wind up joining Karmafleet, Pandemic Horde, Eve Uni, Signal Cartel, BRAVE, or just about any group outside of Highsec. The people inside Highsec are scamming you, and only pretending to be new players.

LOL. Someone clearly confuses real life and vidya games.

But honestly? Yes. She does consent to PvP. Hell, even being in the house she consents to PvP. We have laws and live in a society. Yet the law won’t protect you in the middle of the woods right then. Only you can.

I keep finding your claims more and more ridiculous as time goes on. If you really were in the military/LEO you would know this. Yet you don’t 😃

And yet by your logic it is reprehensible for players to hit eachother in a boxing ring.

So which is it?

At what point does someone take responsibility for putting themselves in the situation they are in?

In the boxing ring it’s the moment they step in the ring and the bell goes. In EVE it is the moment you step into the game and undock.

EvE is a PvP game.

If you login, you consent to PvP.

No it doesn’t,

It’s so easy to avoid PVP in EVE, CCP have made it so easy. PI, Abyssal, Missions ETC. It’s why NOT ENOUGH ship destruction is going on in EVE atm.

We need WAY MORE PVP to happen in eve.

Wtf did I just read? Are so insane that you compare videogame PVP to assault in the real world? How can you even try to make an analogy using this situation? Get a grip on reality, dude.
