Chill peeps. Its just a game!
We have players in the game, whose family are seriously ill. My mother included. So face it, things could be alot worse.
We play games as distractions from RL. Some of you seem to use this game as a replacement for RL.
YNC, is playing the game, his way, which is within the rules. Maybe some of you think its not within the spirit, and maybe, you have a point. However, it comes to a simple point, of either put up or shut up.
Rank is great. We all want to strive to be as high as we can be, however, it is no longer as inportant anymore. It hasnt been since the change in NPC last year. Easy for me to say i know, as my rank can only realistically go down, and would i be pissed, if a group of players passed me on probe rides? Yes possibly. But it is what it is.
It is no differant inflating rank from dsp, as it is having 2m probes as a fleet.
As i said at the beginning, life could be far worse.. just enjpy the game for what it is.. A GAME!!!!
