I can’t dislike anyone for that.

There isn’t another game the same as EVE, so if someone gets even a bitter-vet type of enjoyment in their entertainment/spare time from it, no wonder they might be reluctant to voluntarily quit.

In relation to Lucas, I don’t believe he lacks will power though. He might be a lot of things, but immature/addicted/lacking power doesn’t strike me as one of them.

Mmm I dunno about that. He’s so desperate he’s attempting to gut the game because he can’t bring himself to quit.

That screams weakness to me 😃

You do know brah isn’t actually current slang right? Brah rose from the plantation days in Hawaii, and is part of actual language. It was then appropriated by others. Brah isn’t Gen Z 😃 Brah was being said a 100 years ago.

Let’s not front like you actually talk pidgin 😃

Well if that doesn’t take the wind out of my sails I don’t know what will. Maybe I need more Scipio insults to boost me up a little.

I thought I did pretty well, with the gen z talk, you know I am a chameleon always adapting to my surroundings. Don’t be jelly because you don’t have these skills GIx.

On topic did you check out that map I left for Scipio? It is cool I am telling you. Let me know what you think, as I believe that type of rebalancing will be all we need.

Disrespect comes where disrespect is earned. Maybe don’t lie about intentions and replies lacking in respect won’t follow.

Scipio,

No one is scared of you, you are not walking in the room and demanding some level of respect that should be given to you. You are just another sad individual trying to find that outlet in life, and unfortunately, it has fallen on baby seals in a game called Eve Online.

So before you try to bully someone else out of the thread, just know we all know you are empty and no one respects that. If didn’t look at the threads I sent you, you don’t care to have a open mind, you are a propaganda machine, and you suck at it.

That map is really cool though you should completely go take a look. It will be love at first site I am telling you.

No, no one demands respect. That wouldn’t work if you tried to demand it. There certainly is none though after the BS you’ve been going on about.

Finally in agreement, I knew it would work itself out with a little time.

And make sure to check that map out, I know you have doubts but telling you very neat idea. The rest of the changes on the Chinese server I can go either way with it, but that map, is almost a must for me.

That’s the thing all the people who want changes constantly fail to see. Eve is a complex, interconnected, universe. Even the smallest change has unforeseen consequences beyond any original intentions. All the talk of ‘rebalancing’ fails to take into account that to balance one aspect means unbalancing another.

To give just one small example…the proposal some make of preventing red or yellow status in highsec. That would either prevent anyone from stealing loot from a wardeced attacked station, or prevent anyone proactively preventing them. So a change ostensibly designed to affect ganking also affects other play styles. And one could cite many other examples.

( My God…once again Lucas is already typing away literally within seconds of me posting this )

No…I don’t see _any_ reason at all for CCP to change Eve merely because one obsessed individual cannot go more than 0.001 seconds without posting on the forums.

Ah yes…your sheer pretence that you care _sooo_ much about noobs, then we discovered that you yourself ganked and smack talked noob players. I’m surprised you haven’t yet crawled away into a corner in embarrassment…but I live in hope !

@Jesse_W_James and @Lucas_Kell

Here is what you idiots do not understand…  
There is players similar to me…  
In the fact that I actually do have 156 accounts almost all with 3 characters on them… 3 computers and 6 monitors…

98% of those accounts are alpha…but i have enough plex to sub them all up at once without spending a dime of RL cash.

Without ganking in HS, I could grief anyone that wanted to try and mine against me…and if you think some Nullseccrs would not come to HS for the same reason, perfect safety and all that…or botters and such…then you both are really really stupid. SO thinking of new players…I and vets like Scipio are thinking of them and the overall health of the game…where you two are being total bell ends.

The notion that I’m in cahoots with the gankers is just pure nonsense. There is no group mindset on the matter. There’s no Ganker Illuminati. A lot of the ganker groups are rivals with each other and there’s no love lost between them. People like me spend some of our time providing intel _against_ the gankers. I even provide ISK to some gankees…as I have billions of ISK sitting around doing nothing.

The _only_ thing all these groups have in common is a recognition that ganking is _essential_ for highsec. Even AG groups like NEPF accept that. Ganking is _content_…something you singularly fail to grasp.

Your conspiracy theory is just that…a load of conspiratorial nonsense.

again you are an idiot, this did not happen…the actual mechanic you are trying to refer to was that Ice belts spawned almost immediately to different System/constellation in the game…meaning sometimes you didnt get 1 in your area for days or sometimes weeks cause some Losec system or nullsec system had 10,12, or 15 spawned in them.

Please stop ship toasting

You entirely missed the point. And the EULA says nothing about ganking, nor does it forbid to biomass for simple ganking. Only in your dreams…

You really haven’t thought this out _at all_. Look…here are some of the unforeseen consequences…

With a totally safe highsec, there will be even more Procurers, Mackinaws, etc ( you know…the sort of ships you agree miners have to wait weeks to get into ) wiping the belts clean. Those ships ( and not Ventures ) are actually the _main_ mining ships gankers gank.

With no barges being ganked, the asteroid belts will be wiped clean before all the noob Ventures have a chance to get any ore. In fact that is what _already_ happens in my relatively safe corp HQ system. By the time I get my Venture out to do a bit of mining…there is no ore left !

You are not doing noobs a favour at all. Every barge ganked is actually more chance for the noob Venture to get some ore.

See…your ideas have _consequences_.
