Because miners are cheap bastards that wouldn’t donate a single isk. Even if the cause was a worthy one that they directly benefit from. Like anti-ganking.
I have to disagree, some are complete arshats, one even said I didn’t asked to be saved . Other without asking over time give us billions in isk and equipment
I just like fighting criminal so that’s why I do this , you are a group that want to PvP , that’s why your red or yellow or go around with KR on you .
Even had one tornado ganker convo me that we killed with a KR , why did you kill me and interfere with what I’m doing. Not even a bot hunter ,just killing for the isk .
I laughed
So really not that interested in who we save it’s the act of saving and defeating criminals.
Btw you still up for us coming down to your neck of the woods, plan to do it in destroyers . Taken a while to set up but I’ve been really busy in real
Funny not one person other than their opinion has proved otherwise. But I digress and wait for a good conversation. As you can see in this post and in many others, it is just a repeat factor, which is pretty boring to be brutally honest.
Great thoughts and opinions, very much appreciated.
That’s fair and a valid point, and nothing wrong with that. I do that too, but mostly when I’m out and about and happen to see someone suspect.
I gave anti-ganking a try for a short bit. And I have to say, miners are some of the absolute worse people to work with. I finally gave up helping them. They expected protection and wouldn’t lift a finger to help with the overhead and expenses required for pvp.
And their insufferable moaning finally drove me back into Aiko’s bossom. They won’t help themselves and they won’t help those helping them.
So, like you, I’ll take opportunistic shots at flashies in high sec. Ganker or not.
This is the problem with multiculturalism and tolerance/diversity: you either have to accept that other cultures will have different views and values from your own - which you must tolerate for the sake of multiculturalism and diversity, else you’re a hypocrite - or, for the sake of tolerance and diversity as such, must contradict yourself and accept the conversative position that some cultures are superior to others, and by fiat of force, declare that your culture is superior and “enligthened” and therefore must be imposed on others. And thus, “white western imperialism” continues - in the guise of progressive enlightenment.
I went off game for a long time when I inadvertently found out about this new “bumping” and I lost one expensive hauler in highsec that I had worked very hard for {I still call that method crap}. Ganking players in high security makes it not “high” security.
Just came back into game after 3 years after being not being able to long on for a while due to sys issues and when I finally did I had lost my Athanor in highsec {but that I can understand}. Everyone is different but the game and developer $ miss out when some players experience this crap and leave game basically frustrated.
High security space means Concord eventually shows up to hand gankers their exhaust pipes to them.
It’s not called “safe space.” You can find those at your local universities.
More detailed it works like this
High sec: capsuleers receive a negative hit to their security status for acts of unlawful aggression and CONCORD is dispatched to kill the aggressors ship. If the pilot’s security status dips below -4.5 (simplified to include all high sec systems. It’s actually a tiered system). Faction security also follows the aggressor around like mall detectives, and will attack them on site.
High sec also has the most convoluted and complex crime and punishment system in the game (due to whining carebears that bleated in the ears of CCP to implement changes that they thought would work in their favor, just to find out that gankers and baiters and undesirable belligerents find ways to use the system against the very people thar cried for them in the first place) that allows for all sorts of shenanigans such as suspect baiting. KR harvesting, misuse of MTU tricks. Things like that.
I’ll be 100% honest in my opinion. High sec is the most dangerous space in the game because it leads to complacency, and with the complex C&P system, laziness and lack of understanding game mechanics sets up highseccers for eventual ship loss and in a some cases a lot of angry mails and posts.
Low sec: capsuleers receive a negative hit to their security status for acts of unlawful aggressions. No CONCORD intervention. Faction police don’t really care, BUT, gate and station guns will fire upon the aggressor if they fire upon a ship.
Null sec: you’re on your own. No changes to security status for any kind of aggression.
No I was playing since 2006 actually but bumping and ganking in hisec puts people off, bumping “wasnt a thing” back then and there were no idiots frustrating new players either they stuck to lowsec mostly.
There absolutely were both bumping and ganking at that time. Maybe neither was as prevalent as today, but then again, there were many other ways to PvP other players in high-sec aside from ganking back then. Now it’s the last remaining method.
While CONCORD forces do react quickly and with force, they do not have a mandate to protect attacked players and as such will not necessarily be able to prevent eventual losses if attackers can field sufficient firepower to destroy their targets before CONCORD can intervene. CONCORD should therefore be regarded as a force of retribution, not one of protection.
… do not have a mandate to protect attacked players … CONCORD should therefore be regarded as a force of retribution, not one of protection.
All the people who want highsec turned into a 100% security ‘World Of Mining’ simulation should just leave and play Sim City or some farming sim instead. You want highsec turned into an utterly boring area where nothing exciting ever happens. I’m as much liable to be a gank victim as anyone else…and I relish the cat and mouse excitement of it.
I bet it does. But, players who quit because they got ganked are weak and would quit sooner or later anyway because EVE is harsh and unforgiving game. Eventually they would lose their ship in lowsec, wh, abyss or just to NPCs and they would quit anyway because they wouldn’t stand the fact that you can lose everything in this game.
