DadebluntsI have a question for all the people complaining about gankers killing people and what not, and ignoring that they teach new players not to stick around in populated areas without a proper ship.

Why dont YOU do something about it.

Make a PvP build, go to starter systems or hotspots, start defending people.

Well, for starters you have the catch-22 that the gankers tend to hang out in the very systems that noobs need to go to in order to build a "proper ship". Also, at the point that a noob has invested time, effort, credits, and materials into buying and building and engineering a "proper ship", I don't think I would call them a noob. Still plenty green, but they should be savvy enough by then that I wouldn't worry about them catching a gank.

As was ArtifactHunter mentioned, yeah, there are people who defend noobs. But you know what? It's not my job to go fix every broken thing out there.

Serious question: what is the fun in seal-clubbing? Why build a finely tuned and exhaustively engineered FDL, master FA-off, etc, and then attack players with nowhere near the means or knowledge to pose even a remote threat?

Player - "Why did you destroy me? I was minding my own business."
Ganker - "I'm a teacher and it's my duty to teach you that you can't fly wherever you want. Get a better ship."
Player - "I was on my way to do engineering."
Ganker - "I'm a teacher and it's my duty to teach you that you can't fly wherever you want. Get a better ship."

Player - *Uninstalls ED and installs a game that's newbie friendly, where great communication occurs, where PvE and PvP can be enjoyed with robust populations in an MMO environment, and it is his choice to engage in PvP if he so desires*

I've literally seen griefers and gankers use this exact argument in Shinrarta Dezhra, Engineering systems, and CG zones.

Ryan Murdoc. There are plenty who say they do so but only camouflage their selfish needs to dominate others due to their inadequacies in RL.

The obvious solution is to do the engineering in solo and switch to open when it's done. Worked for me.

Aleksander MajjamHow many hours have you invested total in ED?

Aleksander MajjamHow many hours have you invested total in ED?

7 weeks and 4 days, according to the stats page. That includes some time spent afk though, with the client running in the background.

RenraikuThis tells you absolutely nothing about the person in real life at all. You are deluding yourself if you think this. Playing a video game is automatically not reality and therefore the same rules do not apply as the real world.

The very moment you play a game which has other people playing it alongside you it becomes Reality for everyone involved. You as well as everyone else are responsible for the things that are said and done and will be judged accordingly by others. Same as what you do or say outside of any game that involves a community of people. Trying to play it down or making it sound as if that doesn't apply to you doesn't change one bit about it being fact.

And regarding how certain types of Personalities of people are reflected in the way they play games you might want to check the Internet. It can be quite enlightening.

Aleksander MajjamOut of the 1200 or so hours you've played, what % has been spent in solo vs open?

Yeah, sure, because the word "should" that I used does not imply a suggestion... oh wait, it does!

Please do NOT twist anyones' words around.
