> [@Black\_Pedro](#): > > But what is the real joke is that your solution to these problems is to make highsec completely safe. Where the heck are you getting that? I’d just like to see some equity to SG and throw-away alpha catalyst metagame isn’t it. All this talk of “oh, you got ganked because you didn’t fit a full tank” is complete ■■■■■■■■. All you need is more catalysts and you can kill almost anything you want in HS. You are completely at the mercy of players who are taking no risks and paying no virtually no cost for beating up on non-combatants and newbs. The high sec meta game is all about how many catalysts they can throw at you. Also, pay2win. Its trash. You end up looking the clown trying to defend the things that make EVE a joke of a game. Why is it so difficult for you to acknowledge ■■■■ gameplay? How about the fact that players can fly into your high sec mission and blow up your mission objective before you have a the possibility to retrieve it, causing you huge a huge standing hit for mission failure? Whats your practical solution to this trash? Oh, but it doesn’t happen very often so its not a problem, right? 😸 ---

Why is it so difficult for you to acknowledge ■■■■ gameplay? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Many of us would rather see work on things that matter -ship balance, finishing tiericide, making large battles actually work, etc. You’re still harping on intended game play.

Whats your practical solution to this trash? That’s some really fancy flying by your rival. That pilot would need to know what mission you’re on, find the target, lock it, and then kill it - before you retrieve it? Pay attention to your surroundings, and if someone warps in - take a risk and get the mcguffin first. Or don’t spawn it and wait the guy out. If he spawns the target, then YOU kill/collect it. Or get some catalyst friends/alts to remove the annoyance - y’know since catalysts solve all problems, neh? BTW - competition is exalted in EvE. > [@Alpha\_Slow](#): > > Also, pay2win. Its trash.

The joke is on you, that multiboxer isn’t ganking. He’s mining; despite the pixellation the cargoes of ore and the strip miners are fairly discernible. ---

OMFG! 😆🤣😂 Thanks for missing the point. He is multiboxing several accounts at once and this will be done now more than ever with the prevalence of throw-away suicide gank alpha accounts. That is hilarious. It is actually comedy . 😸 ---

> [@Alpha\_Slow](#): > > multiboxing several accounts at once and this will be done now more than ever with the prevalence of throw-away suicide gank alpha accounts. To multibox alphas you need a machine, virtual or otherwise, for each account. It’s also a bannable offence IIRC, because multiboxing alphas is expressly forbidden. The joke is still on you, because apparently you’re completely ignorant of any relevant facts. Hi Rod. ---

The joke is your train of thought because requiring another machine still adds to pay2win factor and is in effect multiboxing. Forbidding multibox alphas and actually preventing them are two different things. ---

If they treat alpha multiboxing like they treat botting, we may see a lot more alpha multiboxers in game. 🤔 [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-makes-eve-feel-like-a-joke-of-a-game-to-you/54796.md?page=5) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-makes-eve-feel-like-a-joke-of-a-game-to-you/54796.md?page=7)
