if I wanted to live in ■■■■ space, I’d be in lowsec right away.  
For the rest of the argument, I will ask you to not tell an adult what to do, lest you want to know what he thinks about you.

> [@Kavah](#):

Three. Confirmed. Blopsers. Logoff. In. Our. Constellation. Right. Now.  
Oh they probably logged off there just to chill, and will move on, right?  
For the rest of the discussion, the chance of getting blopsed should be assumed to be 300%. Because they can fail the imbecile-proof blops procedure twice and still get it off.

> [@Kavah](#):
>
> Just play the game and don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose.

There is a difference between flying what you can’t afford to lose, and flying with certainty of being blopsed for no reward. The former is fine, the latter is stupid. I don’t fly stupid, meaning I don’t fly this weekend.

> [@Kavah](#):
>
> If you need to make Isk how about you find new ways to do so instead of just carrier ratting.

I haven’t undocked my carrier for a few weeks now, and I don’t feel the urge to make ISK typically attributed to bears, in fact I flew with my alliance making none for the last two weeks at least.  
The problem is not ISK-making, the problem is getting blopsed no matter what I fly.

> [@Kavah](#):

> There’s plenty of different ventures in this game that you could branch out to.

…which I either already did, or have no interest in. Especially lowsec. ■■■■ lowsec.

> [@Kavah](#):
>
> How about adapt.

Adapt is to find the highest reward in the changed circumstances. The highest reward is to not get blopsed, any attempt to get any other reward will get blopsed. Therefore the highest reward is best achieved by unsubbing and pausing subscription to save as much as you can until the space is not perfectly safe for blopsing ganktards.

They will take that bait somewhere between 40 and 160 hours later. You got 120 hours left to keep the perfect attention on your trap. Good luck.

So when the drifters attacked your admin didn’t receive an automated message from an external monitoring system similar to this:

“BOTmadmin: via notifybot Structure attacked: unknown 1029248651499 [Pharolux Cyno Beacon 94.60/100.00/100.00][B0RT] in BY-MSY Esoteria by (Vigilant Tyrannos) Artemis Tyrannos @ 2019-06-26T18:43:00Z [a minute ago]”

I mean I bet most of the gankers will miss the targets that are all deciding to leave the game. I see no evidence that they are looking for good fights and not shiny kills.

We are talking people in our spacing attacking other players not people attacking structures, but yes those are alerts of structure attacks and sov attacks.

Protip, every player in eve gets those notifications automatically, its not unique to TEST, or even nullsec blocs, it is literally built into the game.

Well, you are from test. Naturally you don’t know what a good fight is. With all his automated tools etc. he wasn’t a target b4 anyway so there is no loss for anyone.

Yes, eve for you is crabbing in perfect safety and dropping supers on nano fleets. We are well aware of that.

This is seriously making me consider resubscribing after the 8 or so years its been. Might get some good fights.

And high alpha gangs aren’t gankers.

The only risk gangs ever face in Null and Low are cyno escalations which wont change with the blackout.

Get your highsec miner lingo out of here.

Its simple really, if you and your 5 friends want to PVP it just got easier  
If you want to mine, now your 5 friends have to watch gates so you can mine  
clearly CCP is pushing small groups to join the mega umbrella blocks, sad really, that a few friends can’t be industrialists without joining a power block. I forgot to mention how much fun your friends will be having as they sit and watch gates…  
and btw , you have limited entrances to wh space and no cyno blobs, so stop trying to say its the same thing now for null

As a former Worm Hole pilot, if I wanted to live in WH’s without chat then I would still live in WH’s. If this lasts more then my Subscription then I will drop my subscription and eve as well. As for those that claim “It’s about time.” We shall see how long their positive attitude lasts. I feel that CCP is killing their own game and hence why only 1% of new pilots stay with the game. Poor business model if you ask me. HIGH Sec should be no unfriendly fire unless there is a duel. Somehow, high sec needs to be much safer for the new players so that you get a much higher retention rate of new players. As the leader of a huge group in a different game we knew that new players were a double edged sword and so should CCP. The edges are recruitment and retention. Once you get them you have to keep them.

You can pause your subscription for the duration of this nonsense and fly alpha, then resume it. No need to pay to sponsor this event.

If you said that you have fought off nano gang without dropping caps I would be more impressed. Sadly we all know how it is with test.

Non! Nicht!

I shall stay to see how you go back to hisec once this is over, and beg CCP to do it again, only to find CCP lost too much subs to it, and learned the lesson.

Then I’m gonna laugh at you.
