And for the guy playing next door to you. And for the thousands of folks playing across the world.<br /><br />"Then there were those times in LowSec when my friends and I would bump capitals away from the docking rings of stations, demand a ransom and then destroy their vessel regardless."<br /><br />It doesn't need an organized group to hurt gameplay, just enough people doing the same thing because, in their opinion, they are hurting just "a few individuals".<br /><br />Those individual victims add up, though, leading to a situation where (using this particular example) gameplay like ransoming is no longer truly viable. Some players may still honor ransoms, but they are outclassed by the folks with victory tales of 'SUDDENLY BETRAYAL!' in their eyes. Of course only very few people pay ransom anymore, since in all likelihood they get shafted anyway!<br /><br />Your criticism of the handling of public roams was spot on - but you, too, are part of the problem.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982757704821633457.post-74726066742072428472016-12-23T05:40:46.820-08:002016-12-23T05:40:46.820-08:00Finest examples of gaming evil?

A few individuals might get stung, sure, but that's EVE, baby.<br /><br />I just don't like seeing public roams targeted in such a way that it might deter newbros from getting into PvP; talk to some of the guys in the Bomber's Bar channel and there's plenty who will tell you that's where they got their first taste. Do you think they'd have gone on a roam in the first place if they thought it was a death sentence?<br /><br />Losses are always acceptable, I have no issue with people actively engaging public roams. It's another thing entirely to target them to the point of trying to make them extinct.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272139570626370166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982757704821633457.post-73401964705354367032016-12-23T03:48:51.675-08:002016-12-23T03:48:51.675-08:00It always amazes me how the view changes on the ot...It always amazes me how the view changes on the other side of the fence. Does not matter what the item/topic is if the thing you like is interfered with you will rationalize it to make the person who is interfering with it bad and thus it should not be done. "It might damage the game if we allow this to continue!", really... that's your best defense? You! one of EVE's finest examples of gaming evil and ass fuckery now says "this inflicted buggering is bad for the game" or just bad for your preferred game play atm?<br /><br />LOL you make me laugh Bex,<br />SLy<br /><br />PS still love your blogging.
