Most people who quit from high sec gank simply reason itā€™s not worth investing more time into Eve, because you can lose a lot of it just by undocking, and being unlucky. At chess, you can just play another game. Nothing lost except a little bit of ego. It was the case to someone on the Eve discord, just a few days ago, who lost a new industrial ship, empty, to someone who wanted to play ā€œlootboxesā€, and destroyed him. He could have done nothing. He simply quit the game and moved on to something else. ā€œThe game is not for youā€ is the thing failed game developpers keep saying on X, and so, no one buys their game. Is this mechanic really well implemented? I thnk stealing loot from a can of a criminally destroyed player should simply trigger concord. Logical, Simple fix. ---

I think a big problem with this game is the market. Industrial ships are super expensive while mining yields almost no income. And buying an Athanor for moon mining is just ridiculous. Meanwhile, a Gila is dirt cheap and can run Abyss sites yielding some of the best profits in the game. So when those that mine lose one of those mining barges, it can indeed be frustrating. ---

Poor you and stull not getting it.. His ridiculous premise is just that. Winning?? I am not winning anything here.. In fact all I am doing is constantly pointing out what a ridiculous premise this whole thing is.. Someone having a sad over the loss of 1ā€™s and 0ā€™s is having a maturity problem. That is a them problem. Not an everyone else problem. And hey, welcome alt 45 glad you could make it. SMH ---

LOL Tell me you have no understanding on how to make something pay for itself . Without tell me you do not know how to make something pay for itself. My retriever has paid for itself a dozen times over. If I get ganked or step away and it gets blown out of the sky. Well these do happen.. And I will get a new one. As my old one has paid for it a dozen times over. Frustration? Just frustration that i was not as quick as I should have been or should have docked up instead of being lazy and playing the odds.

Naw it all it really means is that PA may sell or may not. If it does. As CCP did have a good year. At this point I see no reason why a new company would shut it down. Though some changes would occur as it such things do in a sale. In general shutting down the newly bought IP is not what happens. ---

Ganking is great while I donā€™t do it itā€™s a great resource sink plus semi isk sink due to the tax you pay when buying a new ship to replace the lost one. ---

> [@goldea](#): > > ā€œThe game is not for youā€ is the thing failed game developpers keep saying on X, and so, no one buys their game. Is this mechanic really well implemented? In any game that i have played in the last 15 years. There is always someone that rage quits for reasons. Most of the time it is a game they had an expectation of it being. Found out that it wasnā€™t the game they had stuck in their head. The game is pretty clear about what to expect. Aura does explain among other things that you are on relatively safe in highsec. Somehow that translates for some people as being completely safe. If one can not get past the game mechanic that is intrinsic to the game. Then yes, it is a game that is not for that person. Ships getting blown up happens all the time. Again any one that cares to go Zkillboard can see it happen practically every minute. Mostly in low and Nullsec. But more than a few in Highsec. So yes if a player is having trouble and can not get past the fact that any ship can be blown out of the sky. Then perhaps the game is not for that person. As it is. If a player is in the game and having a sad over a bunch of pixels. That is more of a maturity problem. Than anything else. Though as an aside I have noted that people that have a problem with a game mechanic. In general are really pushing for the game to be just another vanilla MMO.
