I gave out likes to the first 1300 replies in LAGL thread, regardless if I actually like the poster or not. Eventually I’ll continue liking each posted reply in that thread.
Every action in EVE is PVP.
Even if you engage in PVE.
There is no escaping PVP.
I know this is difficult to wrap ones head around, but its because every action (including inaction) impacts the rest of EVE as a player based community.
No matter what you do, or don’t do, you are perpetually in a state of PVP with everyone else in EVE, and they with you.
But since you keep trying to instigate a forum flame war, from now on I’ll be sure to flag your personal attacks, regardless of who it’s directed towards.
I realize it’s hard to accept this but if nobody is within the same system from DT to DT, then some of the activities performed in that system would have no PvP involvement.
This has been the case since 2003, the current wardec mechanics have been watered down so far, when compared to those in the past, that most mercs are reduced to hub humping.
I correct it :
“If nobody else WAS present in the system from DT to DT, then there HAS NOT BEEN confrontation observable”.
just because you hauled 10b from delve to Jita in autopilot , untaked freighter, does not mean Eve is not a PvP game.
The POSSIBILITY that someone comes and you have interaction with, makes it a PvP game.
YOUR examples are extreme. First, extreme low probability, then extremely useless as they do not address any point actually brought.
Also YOU made personal aggressions, so please report your own posts.
IF everybody was doing the thing you say (only farm in system with nobody), then people wanting pvp would anyhow start hunting you. Because they CAN.
Really? Did you know deccing a corp used to just cost a measly 5 million ISK? Guess what plenty of new corps formed then. And it was worse in some ways. You’d have focused war decs–i.e. they’d dec you and hunt you down. Using watchlist and locator agents they’d track where you were and go after you. They could sit and camp your preferred systems even if they were out of the way.
Now…it costs more to dec a corp, and order of magnitude more (at least). Focused war decs are not nearly as easy and most war decs are mass decs where they camp trade hubs and roam trade lanes. Stay off those and you avoid them with considerable ease. Have everyone stay out of trade hubs and off the trade lanes between hubs so long as the dec is active there is a very good chance the dec will be dropped.
In fact, create hauling/trade alts to send to trade hubs and along the trade lanes. Keep these guys in noob or NPC corps and there you go. Now you won’t even draw a mass dec.
Seriosusly, a little bit of thought and you can avoid this problem.
Maybe taking steps to limit your exposure to war decs. Showing up in a blingy ship or with a big fat load of cargo in a trade hub basically says, “War dec me please.” So stop doing that at least.
Egads! Really? I do. then again I’m usually in a JF on an OOC alt so being aware of when CODE. is about and stuff is handy.
No matter how many times you say it, your analogy is irrelevant since it’s a totally different activity compared to the ones that I had originally listed.
Obviously you just skim over what I write without actually reading it completely. Let me make this perfectly clear for you:
I NEVER SAID EVE WASN’T A PvP GAME.
The ability to be completely alone in a specific system with no other players for days on end is highly probable and easily achieved. In that situation some activities performed in game would be devoid of PvP involvement which makes it PvE, to say otherwise is incorrect…
That was the extent of my statement which you have continuously blown way out of proportion in some hostile attempt to prove me wrong.
If people can’t be wardeced they will be suicide ganked.
If players are not ready for PvP 24/7/365/everywhere/everyone then they are not in the right game and picking on the straw that broke the camels back is pointless.
What’s false is you thinking everything you say is true.
Gawd, you really love to present things out of context. I never said extreme situations, I said extreme examples which doesn’t need to be explained if you’d only read what you wrote.
You say buying items from NPC’s is PvP because other players are denied ISK.
