> [@Val\_Kaleth](#): > > the previous sprees were already forcing pvp only people off to shoot rats They didn’t force anyone to do anything. I didn’t participate in the previous PVE sprees except when a rat came to me on a gate and I would have killed it anyway to keep the gate clear. I wasn’t interested in looking for a rat to kill nor was I forced to. Just like the hardcore PVErs aren’t forced to PVP in this next event. If I didn’t get my 10k sp because I didn’t kill a rat I didn’t care in the slightest, just like the people refusing to participate in the PVP event shouldn’t whine because it was their choice to not participate. ---

Clearly it forced you to care enough to talk about it. ---

> [@Darlo\_Kubika](#): > > Well the only REASONABLE expectation would be that said playergroup aka ‘the majority of players’ will simply not log in and/or would cancel their subscription during the duration of this ‘event’ and that CCP will experience a significant playerdrop during this ‘event’ What sort of numbers are we going to see on line then over this event? Eve Offline tells me (at this moment) that the 36 hour average is 26k the one week is 22k the two week is 22k the one month is 22k. So in your opinion what will these numbers drop to during the PvP event? ---

> [@Val\_Kaleth](#): > > Clearly it forced you to care enough to talk about it. True. Every survey they sent out after the sprees I asked for them to make a version that was for PVP if they were going to have them. I didn’t whine on forums about it. CCP sent me the survey asking for feedback. Perhaps there was enough people asking for it that CCP decided to give it a try. So CCP is listening to their customer base. ---

> [@Nicolai\_Serkanner](#): > > No, it is just an expectation by a wellknown idiot. There is absolutely no reason for players to not login or cancel their subs because of this event. No player by its right mind at least. There is combat in this game and this event will not cause all of a sudden an increase in the number of players participating in combat. The carebears will continu to carebear and the combateers will continu to combateer. And the combateers will gather some extra worthless SP. So it goes. > > FFS Balos your level of stupidity is astounding.

> [@Darlo\_Kubika](#): > > A fact that they simply don’t want or have trouble to accept…because…well…they were spoiled for so long do it’s their birthright to be spoiled…you know… 🙂 Since I’ve joined the game in December, the game had 3 PvE events, and 1 PvP event (that is announced but has not yet happened). How having only 25% of the events for you can reasonnably be called “spoiled” ? > [@Darlo\_Kubika](#): > > **Insanity** : Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein Thanks for providing this quote, now we know that they should stop repeating PvE events, because they have been doing it again and again and we see no good results in numbers of players. It’s about time they try something else, according to your own argument. > [@Wadiest\_Yong](#): > > If you don’t want to be exposed to anything pvp-related, then why pick a game like Eve ? Because he is part of this group of players for which already 95% of games in the markets are designed, but since he is a capricious kid, he feel the need to go and adapt the remaining 5% to his desires too. He believe that since he is “the majority”, the other people that happen to be “the minority” should have no right to have any product made for them. In short, because he is an atrociously selfish person. ---

Participate or not in the event is in the hands of the player. Everyone has at least 3 slots per account or can choose to create a new alpha account and only play with his noob in starter areas avoiding PVP completely for the duration of the event. However learning how to either defend themselves or take the fight to others might also be a fun adventure… Or even train to avoid PVP ?
