> [@Gix\_Firebrand](#): > > > [@Napusi\_Se\_Kurca](#): > > > > Again, what is sak? > > Um. Are you absolutely sure you’ve ever played EVE The forum account you’re replying to is less than a day old as of this message I’m typing. I can’t speak for the game account behind it, but there’s reason to suspect they’re very new as well. The reason you’re using here isn’t really an indication of much though. SAK is one of the NPC corps which a lot of new Caldari players start in, but not everyone, and not anyone in other factions. And more importantly, a lot of playrs kind of “tune out” the NPC corps and don’t really pay enough attention to recognise them in the first place. I’ve seen this to be the case for experienced players only slightly less often than new people, so not recognising a corp which isn’t a player corp, and may not be prevalent in the area of space a particular person is most active in, is entirely reasonable and normal. Also, more telling about this person’s argument… they need to get their story straight. > [@Napusi\_Se\_Kurca](#): > > The main reason you wont see me in low sec and null/WH is simply because I loose ships in high sec on a rate that I cant replace them AND those I would lose in lower sec systems. This is a player admitting that they lose a lot of ships, enough that they wouldn’t be able to afford to cover costs if mining in more dangerous parts of space. It’s pretty clear about the fact that losses are being suffered and it’s costing them ISK. > [@Napusi\_Se\_Kurca](#): > > These players asume that i do not know how to protect my stuff( while mining). > That is obviously not correct since they failed to kill any of my mining ships, not just Orca. This is the same player, in the same message, claiming they never lose their ships. WHICH ONE IS IT, DEAR READERS? Vote now! My money’s on the frequent losses being the true story here. And just for full clarity, here’s a complete list of every player I’ve ever killed: …you’ll notice there is no list. I may one day change that, but so far, my involvement in PvP has been market manipulation and trying not to be dead. I’m a miner and industry player. I collect resources, I refine them into production materials, and I run those through BPOs to produce things that other players use to try and kill me the next time I go out to collect more resources. > [@Gix\_Firebrand](#): > > Erm. Yennoe it tells you the player count in the launcher right? Right? > > You lied and said it was below 10k. I also think it’s worth mentioning, I did once - when I was on at a time that’s weird for me - see the playercount below 9,000 so I’d believe that someone else has seen it below 10k as well. It’s more often been above 15k in my experience so far, though (like right now, and it’s been above 20k several times when I’ve been online). > [@Gix\_Firebrand](#): > > > [@Napusi\_Se\_Kurca](#): > > > > Obviously they will hardly manage to do that while running three alpha accounts all the time. > > What do you think? > > Um. You can’t do that. But then you know game mechanics right? It might also be worth reporting this person for implying that they’re multiboxing alpha accounts? Because that really does also seem to be part of the claim here. ---

It’s pretty clear about the fact that losses are being suffered and it’s costing them ISK. But they say they lose ships in highsec ’ at a rate I can’t replace’ when in fact they’ve lost _one_ ship…in lowsec. And the claims not to have lost _any_ mining ships, yet the very ship lost in lowsec was a mining ship. ---

Yeah who knows what bug people have up their… I’ve seen it at 24k and 12k, and surprisingly at 14k last Friday evening around 2100h. Too early for the Yanks but I would have thought more Europeans would have been on at that time. Still, it’s not the end of the world… I mean, not just _yet_, lol ---
