Initiative in the Farms and Fields (about the collateral damage of carrier changes, by Asher Elias) | CZ

So like hear me out here. I totally get what you're saying about that gameplay style. There was like 2 or 3 week period in BL when Brave were there where we had exactly the same thing going. Tons of ratting Chimeras all ready to jump, supers if desperately needed, and all doing the afk-gecko-ecm-burst thing where you'd just frag bombers ez yourself if they dropped less than 20. It was pretty cool for a few weeks until everyone had made enough money to keep themselves in ships for the next 6 months and was bored of it.

Here's the thing though, your article absolute wreaks of victim complex. Like first off you're talking about inties as if it's possible for a single Crow to A) get past a 4000 scan res gatecamp (they can't) and B) kill an ishtar by itself. It can't do either of these things. If you're mad about Sa Matra that guy's multiboxing for real like an absolute hero because I remember talking to him about my ISBoxer set up about a month before it got banned and he didn't want to use it.

You're also talking about "our enemies" again in this "us vs them" CFC vs the universe thing. It's not, "our enemies" are "5 random guys roaming for fun in interceptors". How you can possibly hold that a group who unironically drops smartbombing titans on <10 man fleets with impunity is the persecuted victim here?

Dude they're changing some stuff, yeah it kinda sucks for you and I don't think carrier ratting was a problem, but come on. I know how much money you guys are making doing this and I'd be fairly confident that most of you have so collected so many space shekels you'll never need to earn a single ISK ever again in your EVE career after this change.

If you want something interesting to do, leave your big blue donut and find something. I don't even mean actually leave your corp, just get out of that space, take your huge wallet and a few good men and throw them at a problem without constantly trying to batphone. Fuck, just take your insta locking camps to Querious, get some scouts and have a jolley old time farming inties kills for days and reading tears in local. Why not go to BWF and do the same thing?

If you've got nothing worth logging in for, that's absolutely on you.
