EVE Explained - Why Fight? 

Nice vid Jin'taan. I've been away from Eve for years, thinking of coming back.

I fight for the sheer fun of it.

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.

Why fight? Because we want Good Fight.

when that happend to BRB....the comms fell silent for second ...and then the biggest WTF i ever heard

There is only 1 reason to fight: Content™

i fite to keep mineral prices up

Everyone in EVE is either an Ork or a Greethin We either fight or slave away

wasn't jump and bridge next to eachothers at that time ??? Think they re-ordered the menu because of that misjump...

Fight to uh...fight...idk nobody fights me, I just kinda die on my own.

I've only just started playing and it's everything I imagined and more.

Another great video!

Sebastian Junger once discussed on Ted-Ed why war is addictive -- how it gives people purpose, brotherhood, a sense of belonging, etc (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGZMSmcuiXM.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?

i wish another accident would happen. I bought a shit load of minerals a year ago as prices dropped but they kept dropping. fml

Not what i was expecting. This is more "why there are huge pvp fight in Eve".

"War of Sovless Aggression"

I love eve so much. But i don't play anymore.

seriousness one Excuse: *[Sword Logic]* .

I fite to promote hull tank

Jin dont wanna fight me :(

*cough* Casino War *cough*

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!
