Has already happened. I had a nice convo with a lad who blew my ship up so bad my screen went white for a second, lol. He took the time to instruct me and we’re pals now.
I really appreciate he didn’t pod me. Shows he’s a gentleman. Good thing too, I have some expensive augmentations on the that toon.
CCP’s claim is very much in line with my personal experience, which consists of many years of doing high-sec wars. The most resilient players were those who experienced direct confrontation instead of avoiding it.
What I was asking is why those players who whine and cry about EVE not being “fair” keep logging in.
I mean, if I wasn’t having any fun I wouldn’t log into EVE. Look, they’re so miserable that they want to start a strike even though they know it will probably not affect 5% of the players, if that.
Because the game is morbidly interesting to them. Players who are genuinely offended close the game and uninstall it without saying a word. The ones who kick and scream want to stick around to wait for validation from other players.
Haven’t they read the forum? Don’t they know that certain unsavory individuals are just waiting on here to pounce and lick up all those salty tears? Some make it a point in their life, like that creep Nicolai… I wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley.
a lot of the experienced players on the forums are actually knowledgeable (and willing to help). it becomes an issue when some kid who doesn’t know how to play the game or refuses to learn how to play the game, walks in and feels entitled to start changing the game to make up for his lack of knowledge.
lol. If I actually thought there was a snowball’s chance in hell of this strike actually taking off, I would spool my industry operation back up.
Anyway, you could use the structures of groups that are capable of defending themselves, you could join an alliance or corp that can defend itself, or you could try forming a mutual defense pact with other small industrialists… or you could complain about Eve being dangerous and give your competitors a leg up.
The most likely outcome of this “strike” is that none of the people who are participating will actually do anything. They’ll just sit there with their inventories full, having no intention to sell (before, during, or after), and the market will just keep going on as usual. Then they’ll give each other highfives for “striking” and then realize the change wasn’t as bad as they thought it was.
