Look if you were not doing anything to begin with…you’d have a legit point. If you were sitting there gathering no ISK, minerals, or anything else that is tangible game resource…okay. But the thing is you weren’t. You weren’t just hanging at a safe spot. You were acquiring ISK. You were acquiring ores/minerals. You were gaining in game items.
Here is a thought experiment for you…you can have the same safety as a force recon at a safe and cloaked, but you get the same ■■■■ tank and the same ■■■■ DPS when facing off against the exact same rats you are fighting now. Everyone rats in an Arazu or Rapier right? Yeah, didn’t think you’d go for that.
