Oh, fuck you.
Cut because I'm ranting about an online game and it won't make any sense to anyone else. I just wanna yell.
I don't want your fucking money, you twat, I WANT YOU TO FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE.
How fucking hard is it to see someone, merrily killing robots/digging up rocks, and LEAVE THEM ALONE? I mean, I know it has to be incredibly difficult, based solely on the number of times I've been killed for doing nothing more than MINDING MY OWN FUCKING BUSINESS.
It's not like I'm out running around in a tier-2 ship, blowing up other people. I'm in the next step up from an entry-level boat and I'm CLEARLY NOT FLYING AROUND LOOKING FOR PVP FIGHTS.
I like the game, I really do, but sweet Jesus in a fucking flaming peach tree do I wish there was a way to fucking opt out of PVP. I don't care if it would cost 10 billion in-game dollars, I WOULD FUCKING PAY FOR IT. Even if it meant that I could never, ever change back so the character would be useless for faction warfare/guild wars/guild PVP swarms/whatever, because I DON'T CARE*. I don't WANT to go around being a marauder, I just wanna blow up robots and/or dig up rocks and do my soloing-a-MMORPG thing.
To loads of people in the game, this makes me "a whiny bitch", I'm sure. But you know what? There are hundreds of thousands of players who AREN'T GETTING BLOWN UP BY ME, and they're having FUN.
I think it's FUN to mind my own business and blow up robots/dig up rocks. By myself**. I DON'T think it's FUN to get blown up by assholes who think it's funny to wreck other people's's good times. So no, I don't fucking want you to reimburse me for my loss. What I WANT is for you and everyone like you to fucking LEAVE ME ALONE.
* This is not entirely true, primarily because the character in question isn't in a guild at this point in time, and because one of the few reasons I would join a guild is to engage in PVP with people who are all on the same page WRT being blown up, etc. That, however, is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than "blowing up randoms because I fucking can/think it's funny/need to compensate for inadequacies in the rest of my life".
** I don't mind running missions with a group/group grinding/random parties for dungeon crawling, not at all. I just don't generally participate in them because I'm pretty asocial, rather than not wanting to share loot or anything silly like that.
