Your first sentence contradicts your second.
It is exactly because EVE is something different for everyone that you do indeed agree to play with ‘low life trash’ (as you call them) whenever you choose to log in.

I’m not trying to be a spoil sport here but exactly what is the topic? The OP seems to be purely trolling with an absurd suggestion that was made impossible by the game mechanics that were implemented for Resource Wars that absolutely lock criminals out of these sites.
I guess the topic is trolling Code? Ok, let me try:
Code trying to enter a Resource Wars site:
Oh no, having problems with your security status there? Looks like your permit doesn’t get you into everywhere in highsec. The Code fails again!
Sorry, I’m just not very good at this trash talk. I like the video clip though so maybe someone else can take a stab at captioning it or something?

First time I read @CCP_Falcon’s post I read it as a troll of code
but a friendly one with a tongue out smiley
Then I read it as an ironic statement that they do indeed 'do those things’
Because of the tongue smiley immediately following the juxtaposition of the two statements,
(which would be pro CODE)
but because both of those statements are controversial statements for ‘each side of the fence’
I read it again, and saw that it followed the line about resource wars, and thought he might be implying they ‘do those things’, but at the same level that entry level PVE players 'do those things’
followed by a tongue out smiley
which would be a cheeky troll of everybody in thread, and studiously impartial.
Don’t do context well so I will never know- but I enjoyed reading it.
(I think this post is on topic that might be part of the problem with the thread being on topic- its just another CODE thread innit?)

Then why do you have a hard time understanding EVE. The skills you need to be successful in EVE are quite different from twitch based MMOs or other similar games. A lot of the skills you need in EVE is about planing, strategy, ship fitting, social skills and situational awareness.
For example if you AP and untanked hauler trough highsec you made some seriously bad choices and you made an actual mistake. As with any other online games you can then obviously run to the forums and cry about it, which you did, but it just does not change the fact that it was your fault and that you better change your attitude about it and learn to EVE.

Will you banhammer me if I order you to calm down?
Also no one is doing resource war sites, so why should we care

I wish this guy would realise we have been saying
’come and play, come and play, this is how the game works, let us explain’
and he has been saying, from his very first posts
‘you’re all losers and griefers, I hate the way this game works and don’t want to learn it, and I think it should be changed to suit my ideas I have before I have really played it, and if you disagree you are garbage’
What does he expect us to say?
I don’t go on minecraft forums and call them all garbage because they wont let me make a spaceship with guns and suicide gank?
Honestly there is no helping some people, I hope Rod keeps playing but he will hate the game if he refuses to play according to the rules and meta, without at least taking steps to change the meta beyond abusive whining posts.
(I still think this is on topic- as the topic is why CODE don’t do resource wars, which is why CODE don’t go after NPC miners, and the difference between bot-aspirancy and actualy being a (ro)bot, Rod is confused about all of this- so Rod embodies the futility of the topic-
unless it is an amusing troll of CODE or those who grrrrrrrr CODE, in which case all is on topic)
@CCP_Falcon -If that is discussing moderation just delete it?? I don’t know, I think its more self justificatory hot air on my part, and also relevant to the topic, and so perfectly in keeping with the topic.

Looks James 315 is busy :).
Just offering
james would be right with his comparation.if and only if miners build there ships from minerals and pks from wrecks. then there is a food chain.
for everything else he talks about a honour hierarchy. whichs form is culture dependant.
what the guy does is stand on a well know established archetyp of the weak agrarian compared to the strong warrior king and proclaim himself new, unordinary and refreshing. to be honest he is a well known often seen playstyle just clothing himself in pseudoreligious words. the king’s new clothes.
shure he is going to be remembered as he nurtures this…
he rehearses some core picture of western civilisation that we saw in thirty years war in medieval days and so on.
I think you have badly misread the situation.
And if I understand you, no.

I defer to your knowledge of the subject matter contained within your comments.
However, James has the ability of making available to his comrades new ways to interpret the goings-on in Highsec. Ways which are sometimes revelatory and often hilarious.
The use here of the term ‘food-chain’ is, I suppose, a reference to the fact that the miners (as miners) feed upon no other players, but are, in turn, fed-upon by just about anybody else who cares to dine.
EDIT: Punctuation

just seen this chit chat happening here in a mmog called jumpgate 2002.
never gets boring although wordings do change from philosophic to scientific to metaphoric the topic is the same miner low end of food chain pvpers high end of food chain or contra miners are what pays so i have a server later on. it’s been the same all the while. same drama calcified.
james gives it hilarity therein i agree.

Hmmmm, salty gravy.
I love how effortless, skillless and riskless multiboxing 28 chars and killing jump freighters\dsts is, so easy. Kinda reminds me of how you do your job as a cm. You use all your skill and effort to take a thread off topic and ■■■■ on a player group, then don’t risk losing your job because ccp dont care about their community.

Seemed like a mildly irritating light-hearted troll, in keeping with the topic-
designed to get us back on topic (CODE) as if you look it had become another generic fabulous rod ‘nerf all ganking its not elite enough’, made worse by myself and others who immediately have to respond to his BS etc-
Now people are talking about CODE again, so worked as intended?
If someone could confirm whether irony is still a thing on eve-o would make it easier for me to understand what is going on-
Well, forgive me for sticking my nose in but I have become used to a higher standard of retort from CODE operatives-
‘Calm down miner’ would have been more appropriate perhaps, on topic, and had the benefit of not being salty AF
EDIT- if you are ‘worried’ because dev, then add emoji with tongue out to provide context for ‘Calm Down Miner’ thus contextualising your comment???
Because you sound a bit like an entitled high sec careless bear in that post, which you are not in game it seems, but a Patriot protecting the gates of High Sec
C-
When I reflected on what I wrote in response to @CCP_Falcon, the word ‘troll’ began to loom large in my mind. I was prepared to amend my post, and to respond in a lighter vein.
But then I thought, ‘Hey, trolling is bad, isn’t it?’.
I reverted to my original thought, that handing less-than-knowledgeable, magnificently-moral anti-gankers such a gift of a statement would only further inflame passions and make it absolutely impossible to conduct a reasonable discussion about the putative qualities of suicide-gankers.
With the proviso that, light trolling or not, it was ill-judged, I let it stand.
It’s important to challenge erroneous statements, whether or not they’re made in jest, and to do so without fear of being described as successfully baited, triggered, and tearful. (You didn’t suggest that, Patti).
Having said all that, being stuck plum between officialdom and the raucous rabble, must be challenging at times.

I’m not going to white-knight for Falcon, but his playful emoticon I think allows him to indulge in some friendly trolling. That’s kinda what Eve is about.
It’s hard to imagine him choosing to do so to any other player group in the game, but still, part of playing the role of villain is opening yourself up to the hate and derision of the population. To paraphrase James 315 and The Code, if allowing another player to vent their frustrations on me prevents their wife or child one extra beating, that’s something I’ll gladly take. We offer ourselves up on the altar of emergent content as targets for the weak-minded, ineffectual and impotent to rage and troll and hate against - it’s part of the service we offer as bad guys to New Eden. After all, accepting responsibility for your lack lustre play is something the fragile egos of most players won’t allow so they need something or someone to blame other than themselves.
If Falcon wants to engage in some playful trolling at the end of a long work week, he can have at it as far as I am concerned. I still don’t know what this thread is about - perhaps it is just yet another one intended to raise the declining morale of highsec miners or those that try to protect them, who must get tired of losing, day in, day out, constantly like they have for years now.
I know that would wear on me.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less if players of the game say this (in fact I find it hilarious), but he isn’t a player here, he’s part of CCP. Trolling your player base is at the very least stupid and very unprofessional. I wouldn’t have even said anything, but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen him say something stupid about the community hes supposed to be managing. He does it all the time in fact. If I did this at work to a client, I’d be shitcanned pretty fast.
Not gonna lie, I’ve been having a few drinks today so it came off a bit snappier then I’d maybe normally write.

There is good sense in what you say, Pedro. I always consider carefully your position on anything EVE.
For some reason my gut reaction to this particular instance was immediate, and negative.
The presence of an emoticon serves in this instance (as it does in many others) to take the intensity out of a comment. I noted this one, but completely bypassed it to focus on what was said and not what might have been intended. This is a fairly common practice of mine, which helps me to pin down inexactitudes (intentional or otherwise).
On this occasion, it appears to have let me down in a very public way.
The joke, apparently, is on me
