What? Tier ones? Dude I do…or I should say USED to do Tier 4s and 5s.

Even if you did EVERYTHING right with a good fit in a T5 PRE-NERF sometimes RNGeezus would still rail you up the bum without consent. I don’t even bother post-nerf.

Tier 1s are not worth my time.

I don’t care.

CCP isn’t forcing you to do T4s and T5s.  
They’re just making you kill any kind of Abyssal NPC.

If you don’t want to risk your ship in T5s, don’t do T5s. You can do T1s and still complete the dailies.

That’s not what an ISK Sink is.

You, personally, losing money doesn’t make something an ISK sink.  
That ISK needs to be taken OUT of the game (for example, Broker’s Fees that go to NPC corporations), in order for it to considered an ISK sink.

Spending money on the market to buy modules just transfers that isk from you to another player.

It amuses me no end when people say they don’t care.

If you didn’t at least to some extent care, you’d have not said a peep, so you’ve already  
irrevocably proven that you at least at one point cared even if perhaps you don’t  
care now.

We shall see. Or not.

Thats right, how could we forget the 1v1 PvP Instance with a PvE Queue.

Even the Wow clones are lolling on that one.

Except they nerfed the sandbox (ECM) to make it work, it stopped being funny then.

You seem to have problem with reading comprehension.  
I don’t care that you used to run T5s.

I DO care that you’re spewing nonsense about how CCP “nerfed” Abyssal ships (without providing ANY proof, btw), and spreading lies that may cause a newer player to learn the wrong thing.

> [@Isagar\_Onnlin](#):

> So you **nerf the hell out of Abyssal ships** and then want people to go into the Abyss, eh?

You’re conveniently ignoring the fact that anyone and everyone (even Alphas) can get a cheap Caracal to breeze through T1 Abyssals in order to complete the dailies for SP.

That’s fantastic. The only issue I have is that there are no stats for the Abyssal Small Shield booster.

But the fit looks fairly affordable, It’s a Worm, so even Alphas will be able to take advantage of the missiles + light drones. And it seems easy enough to run. I didn’t watch the entire video, but skipped around and it doesn’t seem like there were any real times when your tank was pressured.

Thanks for showing us a video of a T1 site being run. Alpha players should have no problem with this daily event. If anything, it’s vastly easier than the Guristas Hunt event.

With a 10 mil kestrel fit, a day 1 alpha can do a dark t1 with no trouble.

Ah proving again you care! I win my bet!

Also foolish mortal. Given that virtually ALL Abyssal ships use some form of resists REGARDLESS of tank type AND given that ALL resists got the NERFHAMMER!  
then I hardly need to prove a damn thing do it?

Do continue to prove yourself a fool who shills for free and a CCP sycophant though! Since EVE is less entertaining. You’ll do. So DANCE FOR ME MONKEY! DANCE!

that explains why i didnt notice a difference, ran T5s before the update and still run them now. 20% less on a hardener is 2% less resist roughly on the module itself. Hardly something to cry about.

Ok, so all I’m getting from this is that you don’t know what you’re talking about and just want to play the victim card. EVEN WHEN people have shown actual video evidence to the contrary.
