Ah, there's your problem. This is TEST squadron!
I never said at all costs. I believe you are putting words in my mouth. I am just saying rewarding people for their efforts, whether it is supporting killboards, trade and industry, mining or simply improving the website is a good thing. But I certainly am not going to sit by and cry about how people play the game. I will use whatever game mechanic is available, especially if I see other corps using it. And if you think this is a dickag way of doing things then so be it. I have no problem with that, but this dickbag will be defending your ships.
Ships will need less defending if people don't see TEST and think "what a bunch of dickbags, lets kill them."
We aren't putting words in your mouth. This is what you're saying. You may not be saying it directly, but all of your posts emphasize the "win at all costs" strategy. If you'd listen to what we're saying, you'd know just how much that will hurt the game in general if everyone plays like that.
My strategy is to use the same mechanics other corps are using. Besides, what is winning? That would depend on your definition of winning. For me it is amazing a fortune. But hey, I have heard arguments against Killboards and how it will 'hurt the game' all over the forums but guess what, CIG thinks its a good idea and so do I. Perhaps you should listen to yourself because it sounds like this game may not be for you. Moreover, if there is a mechanic that hurts the game then I am sure CIG will put an end to it. In the meantime I am not going to ignore a legitimate mechanic until CIG decides it really hurts the game.
CIG does not agree with this kind of shit. Ask anyone on the forums and they'll tell you that. This isn't EVE, CIG is trying to build a much better community from the start instead of trying to fix it later like EVE.
And you know what really hurts the game? People who demand other people play a certain way and makes demands on others. This not only hurts the game but creates an atmosphere of elitist who look down on others.
I applaud their efforts and will play what ever mechanic they put out there. But given that some people think that spying is a dickbag thing to do, does that mean CIG is going to attempt to stop people spying? Nope, in fact they are actually encouraging it! So you might want to reconsider what is shit and what isn't because that will be CIG's final say - not yours.
I never said I had any say in the game, Overlord. I said that CIG has already stated that they will crack down on players like you, who are focused only on winning, even if it means exploiting game mechanics or generally being an arse.
We never told you not to play how you want to. And this org isn't a dictatorship, no one is going to tell you what you can or can't do. We just said we don't want to worry about killboards, and we don't want to use tactics that lead to us being branded as assholes across the 'verse. and as turns out, we can play as we wish; even if CIG does enable unsavory tactics, we still have the choice to not use them.
Well, all I can say is if CIG actually punishes people for using certain game mechanics I have no problem with that. In fact I would prefer it that way instead of CCP letting people run a muck. But if they DO NOT I am going to use game mechanics to my advantage - that is all I am saying. It would seem you are getting pretty upset and bent out of shape over this simple statement. Remember, it's only a game.
