“Go grind for days on end in null space you have no access to, it’ll be fine and you won’t lose ships and time at all. Grinding till your eyes bleed is fun”.
These threads always come down to “stop telling other players how to play, if they find something fun, let them do it!” but no one bothers to stop and find out whether these players genuinely find their grinding activities “fun” instead of merely trying to convince themselves that they do.
Grinders are very much susceptible to the buyer/sunk cost fallacy. They’re so invested in the time they spend on grinding that they feel personally attacked whenever someone questions the validity of grinding in general, and will lash out at anyone who questions anyone’s decision to grind, even if it’s not their own. And then inevitably anyone who poses these questions is a “griefer” etc., instead of someone trying to help people understand that there’s more to the game than a “mining for Omega” loop.
Because I’ve met a lot of carebears that when questioned, admitted that they did what they did because they weren’t aware of any alternatives, or that this was the first thing they did in the game and it stuck, and many of them admitted that they didn’t necessarily enjoy it as much as it became a force of habit.
So rabid grind advocates/enablers are actually hurting players by preventing them from experiencing more of the game just to feed their own egos.

The Punisher is by far the coolest looking frigate (unlike the hideous looking inquisitor). Anybody who flies a Punisher gets off-the-chart style points. He was right to fear you. You would have skewered him like a bullfighter in Madrid (or have they gotten rid of that?).
