I did speak against it, I still think it’s ■■■■, i.e. to have the start area of an MMO being not multiplayer. I have lost a few ships to CONCORD but I’m not really a ganker any more. I stopped when they stopped paying out insurance. ---

> [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > YOUR game would die…not THE game…there’s a big difference… Sure, but don’t go around calling it EvE anymore then. Which literally stood for Everyone vs Everyone in its inception. Just call it FarmSpace Online and accept what you are now playing. Don’t come back and complain it’s become too boring shooting at non-sentient pixels all day long. ---

LOL DUDE… It’s still the same game… It’s just not the case that gankers can gank anywhere IN HIGH without real consequences anymore. You are basicly complaining about not being spoiled anymore. You can still ‘gank’ or ‘pvp’ in low and null… But i get it…at those places people are actually able to shoot back and the risk is higher, hm? That’s the outrage all about…no ‘PVP’ against targets that cannot shoot back anymore… ---

That’s the outrage all about…no ‘PVP’ against targets that cannot shoot back anymore… It’s not, it’s no longer a - full/partial loot open world pvp game -, as it used to be called. With Exordium now, it basically cannot be called that anymore. It is no longer open world pvp. Everyone v Everyone. ie: EvE. Low sec and Nullsec, you go there EXPECTING pvp, so any pvp interactions in there are considered de facto “consensual”, and irrelevant to what ever it is you’re trying to prove, other than just hating on any form of non-consensual engagements. And I’m betting you’ve carried on that attitude in other games, not just Eve … You 110% carebear. Look at my KB, I’ve lived in Lowsec for at least half of my Eve career, so I would know what Im talking about. And before that, I dabbed into HS ganking, specifically finding ways to blap SOE mission running garmurs in Lanngisi and its whereabouts. It required creativity to pull off, and plenty of risk, and again, to prove you have no idea what ganking can specifically be about, apart from just the regular catalyst ganks … There are countless of examples of people getting creative around a “restrictive” police system in HS, all that, you want to take away, just you can farm in peace on your comfy chair and smell your own farts. ---

It never WAS a pvp game…your kind just was pampered without reasonable cause…the fact that this has ended now obviously will not kill the game…you just have to adapt and find this fact ‘inconviniend’…that is this all about…get used to the fact that you actually have to face change…if not… ----\> there is the door…you had 20 spoiled years, if you ragequit over such a minor change(and over the fact someone else got the candy for a change) you don’t deserve to be here in the first place… ---
