It's almost as if the two groups should stop trying to run each other off

It's the internet bro

The histrionics in here are hilarious.
 
Insane tyrants indeed, how dare the game company act like a game company!
 
NQ is not your friend, they are not here to be leaders, or anything else but a company out to make some money.

You could call him many things, but dumb isn't one of them

It's a game bruh, rein in your delusions of grandeur.
 
This kind of behavior is why we can't have nice things anymore.

I will probably leave and come back a few times, regardless of a wipe. I foolishly bought in for 12 months but I think I've gotten at least 40 hours of play out of it -- comparable to what I would get from a "AAA" game at that price point.
 
My impression of the game is that it seems really neat early on, and getting into space the first time is really cool. Once the novelty wears off though, the digging and industry becomes a chore. I'm sure that being able to devote time to participating in an org would help but I usually can only pop on and switch some industry around.
 
I'm also disappointed that the PvP primarily seems to be "crime simulator" instead of fighting.

When this eventually goes tits up, the people defending this sort of thing will be blaming carebears for the end times.

That's a big part of the issue, there is nothing to be done. It can't be dealt with. There is no recourse or retaliation possible, which is precisely why it's done. It's people who can't do actual pvp and so resort to grief tactics.

Too many years of gaming has shown me otherwise.
 
Countless times I see a 'carebear' (a term pvp'rs came up with mind you), make mention of an unfair or unruly action which boils down to just a few despicable people griefing those who are not griefers. Pretty much like this thread was about someone doing something questionable in the name of lulz.
 
This mention is then immediately attacked by all the pvp'rs, throwing insults, name calling, and taking that mention into new heights of flaming high trolldom. Generally.
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
 
PS: I've done my fair share of pvp, trolling, griefing in my life... I'm just too old to give a shit now.

To the original point: Because it's fun to build spaceships and there isn't much else to do. 
 
To the rest: I haven't been around very long but I do wonder where this game is headed because it seems like two different games slapped together, to me. 

Cool, what about every other new player who has been told by the game that it's safe to do so in the safe zone? 
 
It's just a chickenshit tactic that you and several others are trying to legitimize so you can steal while avoiding pvp in the process.
