EVE Explained - Why Fight?
Vložit

- Conflict is something I take a great deal of time focusing on in this channel, and it leads to one of the most common questions I get - Why do people even go to war when so much gets destroyed on both sides?
The answer is a complicated one, and is as wrapped up in political machinations and internal scheming for power as much as the topics covered here - FCs have lead invasions in an attempt to secure their reputations over more rational reasons before - but I hope it gives some grounding in what the objectives and forces driving war in EVE are.

Nice vid Jin'taan. I've been away from Eve for years, thinking of coming back.
Why fight? Because we want Good Fight.
We fight because it is our nature to fight. What do we fight for, that is the question.
Also note to anyone watching this or seeing these headlines who doesn't play EVE and is just observing: These fights do not actually cost 300k or whatnot real world dollars. To explain, there is a premium currency you can buy for real world money called Plex. Plex is marketable in-game for ISK, the standard currency, and as such can be bought and sold in ISK and not just dollars. The dollar costs of these battles are, to my understanding at least, calculated by finding how much Plex you could have acquired with the ISK value of all the destroyed assets combined, and then calculating how much that Plex would have costed if you bought it all in real money, USD in this case.
i fite to keep mineral prices up
^losing battle lol
There is only 1 reason to fight: Content™
I fight for the sheer fun of it.
wasn't jump and bridge next to eachothers at that time ??? Think they re-ordered the menu because of that misjump...
when that happend to BRB....the comms fell silent for second ...and then the biggest WTF i ever heard
Everyone in EVE is either an Ork or a Greethin
We either fight or slave away
Fight to uh...fight...idk nobody fights me, I just kinda die on my own.
If it were possible to crash on a planet or burn up in atmosphere in this game I would have fuggin done it bro. Also I love your vids.
i wish another accident would happen. I bought a shit load of minerals a year ago as prices dropped but they kept dropping. fml
Sebastian Junger once discussed on Ted-Ed why war is addictive -- how it gives people purpose, brotherhood, a sense of belonging, etc (czcams.com/video/TGZMSmcuiXM/video.html). I know from the stories that some EVE players definitely felt this: the Russians at J-6 for example. But the question I have is... does this apply to most EVE players who wage large-scale wars?
Another great video!
I've only just started playing and it's everything I imagined and more.
Not what i was expecting. This is more "why there are huge pvp fight in Eve".
"War of Sovless Aggression"
Can't argue that. I flew out dozens of times with Spectre and others during WWB and I couldn't even entosis (no alliance). Still refer to it as WWB though cause the name is too appropriate :D
@@finneire1282 "War of Sovless Aggression" was just a hilarious failed attempt from Goons to influence the narrative back then. Editors on their propaganda site were forbidden to use WWBee and for a while forced to use that ridiculous name until they made an another failed attempt to push through "Casino War" as the official narrative.
I love eve so much. But i don't play anymore.
I fite to promote hull tank
Hull tank is viable and anyone who disagrees can fight my meaty gallente space cock ships
seriousness one Excuse: *[Sword Logic]* .
Jin dont wanna fight me :(
*cough* Casino War *cough*
I think you mean World War Bee
sorry but when was lennykravitz ever in high sec? good vid but theres a lot of inaccurate info floating about regarding this war
so this is basically what happened. lenny approached cfc regarding the keepstar (super highway) network he was setting up. a line member robbed him of the isk while he was trying to get into contact with someone in charge.. he laughed that off. once he proposed the keepstar network, goons took offence to it assuming it was the prestaging of an invasion so lenny funded the war so that he could build it in peace
where did i get this info? lenny was my personal mentor/bank and fellow corpy
There hasn't be a big war since August. It's getting quite boring!
Oh boy
