Hands Off, My Loots!

Well, for like the 3rd or 4th time…I’m no longer a Ninja. I’ve gone over to join up with Velocity Prime with the Misfit Toys. Don’t worry…I’ll still hopefully be posting plenty of tears…as soon as I start getting some…been kinda slow for me lately because I’ve been on vacation.

———-

I’d been thinking about leaving the Ninjas for a while, possibly making my own one man corp to dec mission runners…but I have such a strong connection with the Ninjas it has been a rather hard thing to do. But with some personal stuff that came up recently, and the fact that most of the time when I log in I either spin in the station…or flounder around for hours waiting for someone to shoot me…when no one ever does, I decided it was time to take the leap again. As always, the Ninjas are the reason I’ve stayed in EVE, and the group that made me realize what I enjoy most in EVE. So it’s bitter sweet to be leaving again, but it’s just something I had to do.

For those of you who haven’t heard of the Misfit Toys, we are a high sec wardec corp (for now…) and just love having fun killing people when we can. It was started by Velocity Prime a little while after he resigned as CEO of the Ninjas…and it’s been going along very well.

If you’d like to know more about us indepth…click the link up there in the first paragraph…it’ll explain a lot.

Now, hopefully I’ll have some tears for everyone soon

First off, read this, and then read this…and then my comment I made on that second post you can read below where I’ve quoted it. Stabs, over at Stabbed Up recently lost his Caldari Navy Raven due to his own fault. While I enjoy reading his blog, and have nothing against him personally…what everyone should realize here…is that his ship died, and it was his fault.

Here’s my quick response to his second blog post…

I’m extremely upset that you got your ship back. You were killed by valid ingame tactics, and one that ninjas use every day. Extending aggro is not an exploit, nor is it cheating. It is a functioning game mechanic…if you shoot me, I extend aggro.

Your aggression timer was still showing….so you still KNEW that he could kill you…so you made two mistakes. You shot a ninja, and then you undocked when you KNEW he could kill you.

I will be making my own petition to ask about this, as well as linking your blog here in C&P (hope you don’t mind…) to see what others think about this.

I have no qualms with people getting ships back if stuff was exploited…but in your case, there was no exploits used…and you should NOT have gotten a ship back.

As a lot of people probably know, you can extend aggro by aggressing someones wrecks or cans in space. This is an included feature of the game, and in no way an exploit. When you take a shot at someone…you need to watch your aggro timer, because…it will always update. So if it’s 2 hours later, and it is still there…simply don’t undock if you don’t want to be blown up.

If you don’t agree with the fact that it’s possible, then that’s your prerogative…but the fact of the matter is that it does exist…and the fact that a Senior GM reimbursed someone for their own stupidity pisses me off, especially when previous GMs (and I’m sure the Senior GM himself) know there was no exploit used. Next time a mission runner blows me up, I’m gonna petition it and get my vigil reimbursed by linking to Stabs’ post…by all accounts, it should work right?

What’s your opinion on the matter?

(p.s….I’m not a ninja anymore (again), expect a few posts shortly been busy ingame and on travel the last 2 weeks)
