Why are you even talking about chess and solitaire

Eve is far more than just one type of game, the combat part is just one side but pvp takes so much place that you cannot do anything without it forcing itself.

Exactly that’s what people are explaining to you that PvP is the core of it, it is intentional.

‘People’ = you?

And what i am saying is it actively hurts the game more than anything else, it should be rebalanced

People in this thread?

It is up to the devs to determine if it hurts the game and if they care.

Maybe, maybe not, will see. Doesn’t change the fact what the game is inteded to be by the devs though. 🙂

By the way you might get more on this subject in this thread among others to see many of the debates and counterpoints presented in the past and present:

Hi Cilla - wasn’t it? O hell;

Hi Altesse!

I hope your EVE journey is going well! About your _other_ journey - if some scallywag steals your car, will you go to pieces over it? I suppose you might.

You might also consider whether any act of commission or omission on your part might have contributed to the theft. You might also regret not signing with that _other_ insurance company; so many things to think about!

What you _will_ do, however, is get back to your normal routine as quickly as possible. You will not - I hope - spend days, months…raging and ranting in public about the loss of something which can be replaced. You might, I suppose.

Yeah, this is an ongoing discussion (that probably dates back to beta). However, even though the forums will tell people that there are 80k different nerf-ganking threads when they go to create another one, that doesn’t stop them from hitting post and reseting the conversation back to zero once again.

So, do not assume that there aren’t a mountain of people who come down on the other side of this debate. Some of us just get tired of re-litigating the same points over and over again.

A car thief could be regarded as a ganker. Stealthy, skilled in his work, opportunist or pre-planner. Could he be a gate-camper too?

Why yes, if you leave your car parked unsafely and expect to find it there, undamaged, on your return 8 hours later.

You used an example to try to discredit my notion that dealing with loss is no different in or out of EVE. I stand by that, Altesse.

My car doesnt get stolen every day thank you for your concerns

Most people dont play games to risk stuff but to achieve something or to have fun, gankers are a nuisance in both cases, only exception is for like-minded people that might become gankers, which is a vast minority
