Sinking NEBIES default ships: Am I missing something ?

If that was the case why board?

Critical logical flaw in your reasoning:

1. Everyone assumes level 1 fallback ships are the least safe way to transport goods.
2. Therefore everyone assumes nobody would move valuable cargo in a level 1 fallback ship
3. Therefore everyone therefore leaves fallback ships alone
4. Therefore fallback ships suddenly become be the safest way to transport valuable cargo.


That logical loop alone is sufficient validation for sinking level 1 fallback ships.

I'm with him. "All warfare is based on deception" and all that.

I've moved ship deeds in a fall back, it was the closest ship at the time of the purchase.

I've moved gold and cannons in a yacht as well.

Exactly..... The Economy in this game is PvP. Welcome to the War! Now what is that saying?

Some people might consider boarding the newbie as giving them an opportunity to strike back.

Not sure how it works in PvP as I've never actually tested it, but in PvE you get more loot when boarding.

There are many reasons one might board as opposed to just laying on the HRS and sending them to the bottom.

I didnt bother reading half the idiotic fighting and bickering,

the reason is simple;

Players in this game will pick on lowbies, for the same reason a lvl 70 hunter will one shot level 10s in a newbie zone, enjoyment and a smile on the smug face of a 12 year old. Its called griefing, and is very popular in any mmorpg.

Griefing is the act of someone getting enjoyment out of making other people not enjoy their game. there is no skill envolved, there is no l337 h4x, its someone with a low IQ who has the initiative to pick on someone in an online game much like bullying in the real world.


And Ill repeat this for those who did not read the entire post i made;

This is called griefing, griefing is bullying just in a game. It is a big fat kid who gives you noogies and wet willies for the soul enjoyment of doing so.

You're way off; I would suggest going back and reading all the "bickering" - as with any forum thread there are some really good posts that explain it a little bit better - and also demonstrate how infantile you sound.

Spot on Lilith, spot on. I don't have any problems with those that do attack them or with those that don't but it's just plain untrue it's just bullying. The Jackal is an idiot for not even considering the reasons why fallbacks and lowbies are valid targets.
