and if your smart it will teach you to be either more of a team player and put to use these rare things that glow blue and bodies appear out of them if your team just so happens to spawn..
DROP UPLINKS \o/ who woulda thought.

it teaches people to spec into things that are needed rather then just gun game tanks ect ect.

The first 2, definitely, but I never really thought about the third one.

Sometimes, however, I need to think faster for my moral code to work. Yesterday I ran into a logi that was using nova knives. My shotgun scout killed it, and THEN I realized that we could have signaled for a melee duel.

Remember the RPG fanboys that you are asking this question to. Video games, Most Players, and sometimes those who develop them have NO ethical standards. As you can see by the way it is possible to rob a corp if you really wanted. As you can see by the flaws in design that allow chicken squirts to do the things you outlined. As you can see by the several other flaws and issues that fanboys vehemently defend. As you can see in OTHER games where the Devs hack and run hacks on the people that they supposedly make products 'for'.

You will hear a bunch of these RPG gutless wonders and REAL shooter rejects say anything they can to protect their little advantages and exploitations. You should just try to post all the possible solutions to the things you outlined. The gimps will still try to shout you down but at least you can say you gave CCP what they asked for.

Then CCP can decide what they want to do. Maybe they will gain another 1/2 mil EVE players in 10 years. You know, the brainwashed loser children of fanboys.

Spawn camping teaches people not to spawn at camped uplinks and CRUs.

Things I won't do are things like tea bagging, sending hate mail or generally being a wanker.

I think by spawn camping, the OP (and me as well) means the redline spawns. Certain corps have a reputation of sniping people as they spawn in the redzone.

Don't know if it's a code or not but I like to make sure the snipers realize I'm sitting next to them before I kill them.

You know.

Watch them squirm.

And watch them fear for their lives.

You haven't lived until you see a sniper frantically try to snipe you from a few centimeters away.

Or jump off a cliff to their death when they're trying to escape you.

Or pull out an SMG as if they have the advantage.

Ahh. It's so funny.

You sir have style. I like that. I'll be doing that next time I see one of them.

I try not to get my "game on". If I ever tried playing Dust to get my adrenaline going (nope, not happening on a game) then I'm basically a one man army, most proto users would not be able to beat me without reinforcements. I did it 2 times before and it kind of felt unfair to the people I faced in Dust. Same applies to other shooters, I just want to play for fun if there's any.

wow. ethics dont enter into game design.

thing of all of those things as intentional game mechanics.


your objective as a player is to learn and use game mechanics to win the game either by doign these things, or countering them.


there are two objectives to srim, first is MCC other one is to clone the oponent. farming kills at CRUs is a valid and important tactic to the second objective

Of course it is if the games design allows it. The CRU is not the real issue there as one can look at the overhead map and see that its a camper zone. If a developer gets on here and says that they intended for people to spawn camp the CRUs rather than capture or destroy them, then a lot of my suspicions will be confirmed.

The dead spawning is weak either way you look at it. Its weak because it cost you a fit that MAY have cost AUR which is REAL $. Mostly it is weak because the guy spawning never had a chance to see his attacker, much less the slightest opportunity to defend himself.

Now, all that GARBAGE(tm) is great if one is the pitcher and not the catcher. That's where I go back to why on earth does anybody actually want it like that? Cuz its slacker/glitcher play. People can claim that its ''fun'', but we all know its just exploitation. Even if some people genuinely think that spawn camping etc. -killing defenseless spawns anywhere- is actually fun, that not who you want to listen to if you want the game to get ''better''.

You would listen to those people to make it even more ''nerf'' than it has already been.
