The game isn’t real life. We aren’t talking about low income people struggling for heating.
We are talking about a group of people with gaming computers, spending their spare time enjoying themselves. We are hardly part of society’s disadvantaged.
So given that there is some parity about us all IRL, we don’t even need to consider that at all. We only need to consider the in game situation, where it isn’t quite even. The defenders in a wardec actually have an advantage - they can have an unlimited supply of free allies to help them.
They’re not the Police, they’re the nasty assed specialist combat team that gets sent in when you shoot someone in the face without sanction, sanction being the correct flags.
A better analogy for Concord is one of gamekeepers, with hisec being the game preserve. They sell permits for hunting specific groups, they kill people who hunt without permits or the prey having flagged themselves for PvP.
Ok, fine. You get points for that. Yes, some people can buy sp. I’ve bought some, myself. I’m a chef, in real life. I can afford to buy ‘victory,’ at least in some measure.
A lot can afford even more. You found one. But you only found one.
We’re getting sidetracked, here. How does the practice of an alliance of many hundreds, killing noobs in lowsec, make sense?
A lot of perspectives have been offered. And none of them are totally wrong. That’s the problem. Yes, such adversity does breed strength, as many have said. But it’s a fine line, and a controlled adversity, when I apply it in religion, or to my kids, or to a mush as a wizard. Force was used, in a controlled fashion.
With mercy, and restraint. There is no mercy or restraint in a wardec. While the side effect may be that it strengthens those that live through it, it was NOT the goal of the war deccers. Stop acting as if they had any virtue?
For millions of years the evolutionary process defined the future of Life on this planet, and then came the modern western politician and decided to shift western society towards breeding decadent, self entitled, weak shitters who need to argue about things that are so elementary easy, that it just boggles my mind.
the west is literally the laughing stock of the rest of the world, and most westerners are too ■■■■■■■ stupid to understand.
We’re not all from the West, racially or philosophically. You’re actually arguing some weird ■■■■. The West is the one that wants to have ‘blind’ justice, ‘blind’ faith, and ‘fairness’ that is not fair.
We from Eastern philosophies have always looked inward, and I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but we’re the first to recognize the inherent worth of life, the dignity of the human capacity to experience ‘mind,’ and the first to balk at being ‘fair,’ when ‘fair’ means murder.
How does a country the size of the US or Russia have a problem with a small band of 30 guys in a cave make sense?
The point being, if I may, is that those 30 guys can hide, move and still operate with almost no difficulty even when the greatest military force in the world is actively trying to kill them.
Be the heroic bandits, wily freedom fighters or nasty terrorist evildoers, fighting The Man, mostly by not being at home when he calls round.
Here’s another analogy. We didn’t have any problem with them. ISIS can and is being annihilated. Been there, done that. It’s just that our job was support, not war, directly.
For all practical purposes, Commanding General, AMC, is third in command of the US Armed Forces. Until recently. We didn’t bother with a band of little militants. You’re getting into real life, now, though, and the most I am allowed to offer is analogy, in this field.
