I dont think the current devs have much empathy. They probably got the job by manipulating their superiors. Needless to say they think abbrasive content is good content. And it shows on all areas. For example Skyhook thefts, ESS robberies, Hot drops, Corruption 5, and last but not least high sec ganking. These mechanics are absolute cancer but in the eyes of the current devs thats a good thing (Its not) Peace ---

> [@Meridan\_Night](#): > > In my opinion, developers aren’t doing it. What they’ve done is given a lot of rope/freedom to players. This. At the end of the day, it’s just a game. People call it PvP or a “sandbox,” but sometimes things feel wrong and go way too far. It honestly seems like situations like that need at least some level of regulation — similar to how the internet or AI technologies are being discussed today. The internet was originally designed to connect people and transmit information, yet somehow we ended up with “redeem stuff,” OnlyFans, and TikTok. ---

Troll 🙂 > [@Arthur\_Aihaken](#): > > I could also mention that EVE is a PvP game (“Everyone” vs. "Everyone), so some player interaction from time to time is to be expected… I’m 50/50 with you for the most part bout eve and pvp. but for this event, I feel its just bad coding. There is no counter play for the player who is doing the event against the “fast thief” > [@Anna\_Dyneaux](#): > > Hush you. They already utterly destroyed player competition in this event by handing out 50k raw HP to every ship on grid at the turn-in sites. that’s not competition, that’s just gank pure and simple, unless you are speaking about players at war with each other and whatnot. If the Devs wanted comp, the player could choose who to shoot and the “elite” would respond accordingly. (i could be in Amarr space and assisting my Minmatar brothers) ---

IT’s their little way of getting back at the cruel world that would not accept them. They probably pinch babies when nobody is looking and kick puppies too. And they want to spread that hatred for humanity to as many souls as possible. It’s very diabolical. ---

IT’s their little way of getting back at the cruel world that would not accept them. They probably pinch babies when nobody is looking and kick puppies too. And they want to spread that hatred for humanity to as many souls as possible. It’s very diabolical. I think this is entirely the wrong way to look at it. I think they don’t want us to hate other players, they are trying to teach us restraint and perspective. They are posing the question “Why should you get angry when other people profit from your hard work?” which is a deep moral question. They are helping us grow as people. ---
