Not all hiseccers are lazy cowards that are afraid to undock. I try my best to avoid the Invasion systems after coming to terms that I had lost more value in ISK than Code. had ever taken from me. (even counting the deposit I had made into her Majesty’s private bank)
Second, that’s kind of like saying that you can’t make fun of idiots because you also started out life as a baby that didn’t know anything. Everyone gets a free pass for being dumb when they’re young/new. But passing the point of maturity and still acting like a child qualifies as grounds for ridicule. So yeah, if you’re still AFK-mining in a 0.9 and complaining about ganks and wars after playing the game for five years, you are a useless, lazy coward.
Shh, there’s still a chance CCP might implement something like that into the game.
Carebears like Rooty Toody McBroody up there don’t realize that pretty much everything they ask for that’s not a straight-up removal of PvP mechanics ends up being a boost for the “griefers.” Like when they cried crocodile tears about barge EHP, CCP caved in, they stopped fitting tanks on them because they no longer needed to in order to tank the belt rats, and then wondered what went wrong.
Carebears are dumb, and bad at the game. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be carebears.
Where does all this vitriol come from? Why do you care so much about how dumb or cowardly carebears are? You’re in null/low living the dream, right? Why does it bother you so much that there are people who don’t like EVE for the same reason you like it?
Check his killboard. Only thing he knows how to do is shoot autopiloting haulers or miners on high-sec belt and everything which appears a threat to this lifestyle, must be shouted and ridiculed at all cost.
Think of him as Aleksandr Dugin, but for low-skilled high-sec gankers instead of batshit crazy Russian nationalism
Bother me? See, that’s where you’re jumping to a hasty conclusion. Just because I think a certain way about something, doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m bothered by it.
I can take a barnyard stroll, and upon passing a hog rolling in the mud, decide to make a comment of “that’s one disgustingly dirty pig.” But that doesn’t mean that the pig bothers me, or that I dislike it. In fact, I am very amicable toward the pig’s presence, because it gives me bacon.
It’s only when the pig decides to defecate on my shoe, or tries to get the local governing board to pass legislation that would take away my right to be able to partake in its delicious belly, that I would take offense to its existence.
If you comments were directed at the OP maybe you could be taken serious, but you’re making blanket comments that go well beyond the scope of one perceived whiny player. You’ve got clear issues to work through when it comes to these carebear people. I expected the ole, “I’m just stating my opinionated observations is all. I got nothing against the people I constantly berate and insult. Honest.” Nice try though. But you just can’t keep that vitriol under wraps even if you tried. It’s like heat rising from the pavement in 100 degree weather.
So you’re angry when players who do not consent to PvP have the gall to want to enjoy the game - in hisec, mind you - as they see fit? But on the other hand, you’d like to force your particular playstyle on them? So, yeah, you’re basically infuriated that some people enjoy EVE for reasons that differ from your own. And they don’t want to play with you the way you want to play with them. This sentiment is not uncommon. No need to piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining.
I guess the dream is not as alive as I thought in null/low if you need hisec carebear participation to enjoy EVE. Sad times.
You keep singing this old tune, but you’ve never stopped long enough to logically think through what you’re saying.
Other players wanting to enjoy the game as they see fit doesn’t affect me
Forcing my play style on them would be to my detriment
This game allows players to act as predator or prey, and if certain players wouldn’t act as prey, then the predators would have nothing to hunt
You can decline to consent to PvP all you want; the game doesn’t care, and won’t let you opt out of it
Why would it infuriate me that some people choose to play the game unlike the way I choose to play it? Their existence is the only thing that gives my gameplay any meaning.
You tell me. You’re the one insulting and debasing the people you claim, “gives my gameplay any meaning”.
You can decline to experience a terrible event in your life all you want; the world doesn’t care and won’t ask your permission before inflicting terrible things upon you. What does that concept have to do with your clear and obvious venom towards carebears, who again, gives your gameplay any meaning? Because apparently nullbears and lowcats ain’t getting the job done. I’d assume you’d love it if all space was hisec seeing as, if what you say is correct, you’re a HiSeccer yourself. If the game does not allow your fellow HiSeccers to opt out, how can they ever threaten your access to bacon, as you put it. It’s not like CCP would ever in a thousand years ban all PvP interactions. You’re stepping on your own toes here. You clearly resent people who don’t like the game for the reasons you do. Who do you think you’re fooling?
Just because I’m fine with the existence of carebears, and in fact prefer that they exist because they create content for me, doesn’t mean that I’m excluded from making fun of their objectively inefficient, unsatisfying play style. It’s not “venom,” and I don’t “resent” them. All I’m doing is pointing out how dirty the pig is.
In a perfect world, there wouldn’t be any carebears. All players would accept EVE’s element of risk, even if some were nonviolent. To that end, whenever I see someone wanting to learn and break the cycle, I go out of my way to help them, even if they’re not interested in PvP combat. But the ones who refuse to evolve and adapt, and just choose to engage in the most bottom-feeding play styles while whining and complaining if anyone so much as looks in their direction, those players exist solely to be harvested by others, and making fun of their obstinacy and ignorance is part of the experience.
