MODS PLEASE LOCK - Jim’s ruined another one 👍

I think they tried to do so, but failed to explain that that was the topic so it only became apparent about 60 posts into that thread.

What makes you qualified to give me advice? There’s a time to talk and it’s time to listen. You don’t know the difference.

It’s good advice though, I don’t think people need to be ‘qualified’ to say things that make sense.

You’re off topic and people would probably love to talk about wars and war hqs if you made a thread about that topic, provided that you start the thread with a clear description of the topic.

Rewording the original post possibly?

Make it clear what you want to discuss and what information you require :+1:

Agreed .

Solutions honestly if you wish for attention etc please DM people but for the upteenth time try to stay on topic.

I Listen and respond to polite discourse, I won’t engage more than this with trolls seeking gratification.

Is there a reason you didn’t answer the question?

Rannting on about useless crap and pretending you’re some kind of moderator why don’t you try answering the questions that people are asking you.

What makes you qualified to give me advice?

Hurry up I’m only up long enough to smoke one

You took too long I don’t care bye

Going back to the topic I think it’s better for player retention to teach new players that they’re not helpless but have their own tools they can learn to survive in this game.

Even against players who have played longer.

What’s far worse for for player retention is to scare players with stories of unavoidable unfair ganks.

We know that ganks make up only a very small fraction of the total PvP kills in this game.
We also know that the amount of complaints about ganks compared to complaints about other forms of PvP are disproportionally larger here on this forum than this small ratio of ganks to total PvP kills.

(This last thing is not unsurprising because for many players who are war-immune and play in HS ganks are the only PvP they could possibly see if they’re unlucky or greedy.)

This means players are much more likely to be directly affected by ganking complaints than by the ganks themselves.

If player retention then is hurt by ‘ganks’, while ganks against new players are off limits because of rookie-griefing rules, I expect the impact of gank complaints to be far stronger on player retention than the impact of ganks themselves.

If player retention is your goal my suggestion is to stop complaining about ganks.

Teach newbies to survive instead.

Which by the way…is the only objective the op has with this and many other posts he’s made on these boards.

People who are only one minded about this subject in this game are unable to comprehend that.

Absolutely…totally agree.

Incorrect. The point was it’s not the act it’s self but the aftermath.

Surely the aftermath could do that themselves instead of trying to extort new players with fake “permits”, insults and generally winding people up for the sake of a reaction for their website .

“Why you got ganked” - they don’t to actually say much about that truth be told. Instead it vile insults, or calls for player to simply not choose activities like mining or missions, or being in high sec In general etc. It’s that which makes me doubt the sincerity of their intentions.

There are other groups who frankly do a lot better job at teaching people to play better than safety , and in a much more respectful manner. At present the whole cyber bully approach of safety just makes me have little to no respect for them . They simply behave children .

You see? He cant let it go.

The obsession is real and he cant stop posting about it. Every post, every reply, every statement is all about one channel of many inside the game…and one website of many about the game.

No matter the response…it all goes back to gankers, chat logs, and websites.

Lions, tigers, and bears…oh my

The funny thing is I only read the last post and I know exactly what he’s talking about and who… The Sheriff is eye ballin me now isn’t he lol. Give me a question to answer sheriff. Give me the direct topic and I will reply immediately. Sir yes sir ma’am. I like it when he spanks me in word… That will be my next AI generated (carefully curated) meme troll…

Or perhaps you can’t seem to handle the exposure.

Accountability isn’t your strong suit is it :man_shrugging:t2:

Here are your options

  1. Actually do what you pretend to do and teach players you gank afterwards how to avoid subsequent attacks ( extortion with fake permits doesn’t count)
  2. Drop the Lie that you are doing it for anything other than self gratification and your craving need for attention and emotional response.
  3. Just continue in vain to try and extract emotional response on a forum board which does nothing more than expose you for what you truly are :slight_smile:

It would be nice if you would just cease the activity of cyber bullying that’s making people leave the game even if it’s only a few it’s still a few too many :+1:

I knew it LOL I didn’t even scroll up. Don’t worry bro I’ll take you seriously soon… Just let me get back to my desktop so I can properly reply using your own words. Not that it matters. I do it for you really. Just like other PVP it’s a thankless job and even if you don’t appreciate it I do it for you broski because I know it’s good for you and somehow this is what you like and enjoy

LOL. You just gave an example a perfect example of how the rules are used to abuse specific groups of people and not others. This problem is rampant. I’m pretty sure CCP knows that the system facilitates Care bears to be cancer. Hell maybe they gave it to them in there as their own form of PVP. They’re never going to do anything against a Care Bear bro. He’s playing a victim that’s all he needs to do. When you PVP you are the enemy. If you are a Care Bear and play the victim card CCP will always help you. But keep in mind CCP that I don’t want your help unless it comes to game mechanics.

Hah, its a new low now. Cyber bullying.

According to you…its now cyber bullying when something doesnt go your way in a game that inheres to the gaming mechanics with that game. Did i read that correctly?

Are you really going to take this conversation to a new low?

PVP is griefing and not agreeing with him is cyber bullying… Girgud. Can you imagine how many buttons he’s trying to press right now to get you banned. All the actual evidence will be passed over and dismissed because he’s a Care Bear. I guarantee you the moderators are usually tools like him and inclined to hate you.

One day I hope we have more than a House of Representatives and decide to understand the beauty in having a Senate along with it. The role of CCP should be a neutral third party that is anti-monopoly and pro competition. This is so basic it’s taught in Middle School… Might depend how old you are.
