Scenario:
Someone sets a lethal trap. One that kills people. A day later someone dies in the trap. Can the person that set the trap then claim to the judge that they didn't kill the person, that the trap actually killed the person, and they should not be charged for murder?
Something tells me the judge is not going to buy that argument. I wonder why.
Forget it, he's either too dense to grasp the use of tools or just unwilling to concede |

Quote:This is the winner of the bad real life comparison award for the day. Being in the army and sent to a war zone whether you are in a combat branch or not means you stand a good chance to be shot at. Standing there, in front of enemy soldiers, wearing the uniform of their enemy, but shouting "you can't kill me, I'm a civil engineer, not infantry" is an almost foolproof way to not get shot, you should try it sometimes lol.
Joining the army is consenting to be put in danger regardless of your job. Undocking in EVE is consenting to pvp (unless you are a rookie in an off limits rookie system). Period." You seem to think that everyone who serves in the military during wartime is on the battle field. There is far more to fighting a war than charging at your enemy with a rifle in hand. You would be amazed at how many people serve in situations safer than walking down most public streets. The only danger is from terrorists who have extremely difficult hurdles to overcome in order to attack. I served in the Air Force for 12 years. Much of it was during wartime. There was only one point were I was in harms way and that was from a terrorist bomb in Saudi Arabia.
CCP has the difficult job of balancing the harsh enviornment with the necessary safety required by players who don't want to spend all of their time looking over their shoulder. I don't envy that job. As a carebear, I expect there to be relative safety in highsec. I expect Concord to provide me with a place that someone has to sacrfice much to attack me. So far this has been the case.
When the actions of one player group cause others to leave it is CCP's best interest to nerf the activity. That is what appears is happening. If I had to act in highsec like I would expect to act in lowsec in order to protect myself, this game would cease to be enjoyable. As of now that is not a problem for me, but I did my mining in Solitude.
The bottom line for me is that I expect to be extremely safe in highsec. Not immune from attack, but I should be comfortable moving around without having to look over my shoulder. If this ruins your game you have my appologies, but I don't pay $15 a month to provide you with entertainment. |
