Is Hisec ganking good for the game?

Let’s leave your countries politics out of it, please. It’s irrelevant to this discussion.

But you surely are trying to take the moral high ground, how else are we supposed to interpret your comparison of shooting defenseless miners to:

As I said, try not to drag real life values into a game.

Well, I shouldn’t have used an exemple from real life.
I apologize.
Sorry.

It’s nothing to do with me. I don’t have a dog in the fight really.

But it’s difficult to look at comments like “I don’t know what kind of loser would blow me up instead of looking for a target that can fight back…” as not portraying yourself as above the part of the player base that engage in those activities. Those players are just playing the game the way the game was intended to be played.

Yep, you’re right. I shouldn’t have written that either.
I apologize.
Sorry.

Np. No point in flogging this dead horse anymore then.

So hi-sec ganking ……………

Why not?

Folks are just trying to encourage you to join the discussion instead of being an obstacle to it.

Yea, I obstruct too much. I shouldn’t do that.
I apologize.
Sorry

I have utterly no idea what you are talking about.

Youve gone ridiculously off topic and clearky have no interest in discussing the actual topic

Yeah I went off topic big time.
I apologize, sorry.
Thankfully Sir Barstorlode will be by soon and clean this thread real good.
What fool have I been :roll_eyes:

Hey its cool.

Dont stress about it, we all make mistakes.

No it’s not cool at all and I am stressing over it. I feel like sh!t now.
I don’t think I’ll come back on this forum after today. I feel like digging a deep hole and burying myself in it so much I feel like a fool.
I’ll biomass my character and uninstall. Clearly, EVE isn’t for me. I’m too much of an idiot to play this game, I’ll just waste my time on it like an arsehole.
I’ll go back to playing Kerbal Space Program. It’s a simpler game for retards like me.

The only thing youve done wrong so far is to over react and take things personally.

Just have a sit down and a cup of tea and everything will be ok.

Nothing thats said on the forums really matters anyway.

I’m not getting into that argument with you just because you’re trying to make me feel better. I know what I feel right now and it’s right on the money.

Retorted with:

Wow.

I am an American living in Japan. And while I am very far from being a Buddhist Cowboy, as I have as many issues with Japan as my own country, I do appreciate that words like “murder” and “kill” are not thrown about by the Japanese, or myself any longer, so very casually. They don’t even say “I died” or “You died” when it was actually a game character that died. They are very precise about that.

Yes, I grew up with people everyday saying, “I will kill you if you xxxxxx”. But living outside that bubble I can see it for the sickness that it is.

And when someone says “with others while murdering them” I think there are many people who will look sideways at that person and wonder about them.

On the one hand I am glad that people have a video game to channel such malevolance into, because some people sure seem to need it. On the other hand, the promotion of such thoughts, verbage and behaviors is disturbing.

Is it good for the game? Is it good for society? Neither question is easy to answer.

We’re all immortal capsuleers in this game. A dead clone is merely a setback.

You can start a nice thread on that premise but, of course, it would be locked before you posted it. These people don’t seem to be able to think beyond EVE so your experience outside of that bubble wouldn’t be acceptable as a premise for a thread… Maybe in Out of Pod Experience.

I wish you good luck and Farewell. I’m gonna linger on this forum for today but it’s my last day here and in the game. I’m not cut out for this mental gymnastics. I should’ve known, too. I always say I’m not intelligent but I’m smart, well, EVE requires a level of intelligence that I don’t have.
Take care, Erick. At least I have the comfort to know I’m not the only one who thinks the wrong way for EVE.

Its a fact I would like to see in a pop up…seriously. Its a nice shield to carry around in this game. Every loss is a loss of time, ISK and maybe pride…but all can be made up for as there is no in-game permanent death.

Still…it does not excuse the very real griefing that CAN BE either an accidental or intentional aspect of ganking. Its not always there, but the potential is always there. And that’s problematic…thus why I would approve of such a pop up…to curtail griefing while the game carries on.

Which can be said about anything any one did ever.
