And I invite you to join a new corporation I am forming soon, it is a Corp that will be made up entirely of alphas, the point is to create content for others amusement, the alphas will simply be sent on auto pilot into null or low to be blown up by others for their amusement, they will be sent in with rookie ships or shuttles, or industrial ships, this way they get their bloodlust fed only to discover that it was intended that way, in other words player NPC’S since killing regular NPC’S are not appetizing, when enough players join and do this they will get their fix of stroke the epeen and hopefully log off. ---

As stupid as the many reasons why players love to blow up others… Nonsensical. ---

No, actually, this is a PVP game, so “because I want to” is a perfectly valid reason to try to blow someone up. Sending people into low/nul on autopilot to feed people free killmails is exactly what I’d rather teach new players NOT to do, because it’s incredibly stupid and pointless. I don’t kill new players because it’s easy. I kill them because they’re there, just like the veterans. I’m not discriminatory that way. It’s clear you don’t really understand how this game functions, or its core PVP nature, so I suggest you learn before you attempt commentary on it. Have an informed opinion, or a wrong one. Your choice. ---

Don’t mistake my ‘born on date’ for lack of understanding, but this (it’s incredibly stupid and pointless), most things people do are, but this game gives some a reason to log on and I’m insuring they do but want them to get their fix and log off, the cycle is complete, I am here to keep the party going. ---

To clarify, if people look for other players to kill, anything will do, they need their ‘fix’ of PVP, because if it wasn’t that then PVE would work shooting NPC’S would provide that satisfying feeling, not for them, they want to engage others out in the world because they get (fill in here), out of it, I will provide it, content, the thrill they seek, a player kill, those who don’t enjoy easy will just avoid it because that is not their rush. ---

To clarify, with all these people looking for something to shoot at, believe it or not, a few of them occasionally find each other, and there’s no real problem there at all. ---

What about those of us who still swipe loot and cans for fun? Is a 2018 toon ok to be targetted for that, or was his aggro’ed burning Gnosis that made the backdrop for my swipe something I should have felt sorry about? Or what about Stratios spacecadets who dont understand what it means when I mash the hacking grid just to trigger their sleepers? ---

I think you misunderstand my point somewhat. And unless this is your main and you actually have no killboard, I consider people who don’t post on their main to be pussies. I also consider people with no killboard to be in no position to comment on who is and isn’t a pussy. ---
