I’m like this I can and have taken the grief, that’s not the question, the question is; “can the asslick that griefed me take the impending revenge?” Teach me something new so I can come back at you in a even more ruthless fashion.
That is the epitome of EvE, and If you don’t have this attitude…maybe this game isn’t for you.
But honestly so much is changing in EvE with all the political correctness and tender feelings, maybe that isn’t what CCP wants anymore but… If the basic premise of lawless galaxy is stripped away this game will die.
simple solution, stop playing on easymode and get out of highsec. You will never risk breaking the rookie griefing policy, and you might actually get into fun fights for a change. problem solved.
And here we have the guy arguing that it’s a perfectly reasonable expectation that players should ALWAYS -at all times- be aware of the two dozen+ “rookie systems” and whether they’re in one, and also ALWAYS be aware of their target’s age, AND check the TOS for any changes EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY GO KILL SOMETHING.
This is just lack of empathy for other players due to butthurt over mean ol’ gankers.
To answer the original point of this question. To my knowledge there has been no change in the rookie greefing policy, the knowledge base will likely show a new time stamp because the article was updated. This may very well have just been the addition of a full stop.
If you want further clarification into the policy you should file a support ticket as the clarification should come from a Game Master.
Jus’ saying there’s a double standard. Carebears are told to HTFU when they’re ship explodes, while gankers are told to HTFU when they receive unjust warnings/bans for violating newly implemented rules that no one bothered to announce. -or when the GM staff just arbitrarily decide to start enforcing rules differently than before.
What’s worse is the way the GMs will play this weird, Orwellian, revisionist-history game. They’ll try to convince you that nothing has changed, the rules were always the way they are now, and we’ve ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia.
I knew we were in for revisionist history and group think the very moment CCP put the Millennial holy word word “Diverse” on their Corporate page.
In a year or so EvE is going to be so homogenized (Like when Metallica went through their emo phase) that it won’t be recognizable from the game of 2006.
What made EvE amazing won’t be there any longer, but I’m sure some Blue hair with a nose ring and a gender studies degree is whispering in managements ear and saying “It has to be this way”
