So some buy a game and play it a certain way just to run the game into the ground, great logic that.
These guys need to get over themselves and thankfully the universe is bigger enough to the point were these fools can be avoided.
FD: Apparently Elite got noticed, not in a good way

I actually like the idea of Fugitive status for the factions giving the fine when murder is done. It might need some more thought as to how long the status lasts and how you can finally rid yourself of it, but it's an interesting concept with some grounding in current Elite lore.
Agreed... it should be tested thoroughly first, but some kind of fugitive status would make sense. The pilots federation shouldn't be the only party that reacts to murder, after all.
The key part of "fugitive" status, rather than larger fines, should be constant interdiction and attack by swarms of police Vipers - at least in "secure" systems.
True "serial killers" should be chased hard by security forces - and those who are JUST interested in griefing would soon tire of the constant PvE

Right... they should also be hunted by special security forces (think FBI
) if they are especially notorious. I see many options the crime system could be adjusted to make the life of criminals a living hell, up to the point they get interdicted by cap ships, if all else fails.

Personally I think this is just a flame bait troll thread that has no basis in either common sense or fact. I wonder if the OP's real name is Hans Christian Anderson, as that author was good at fairy stories too.

If this is true I think it is great, especially if a LOT of EvE players are doing it. The sudden drop off in players of repute there will indicate to the player base that EvE is in decline, thereby hastening the process. Meanwhile, although the EvE players are here with ill intent, they ARE here and I think some of them will stay. They come here not understanding that ED has methods of avoiding their griefing ways, this is not EvE after all
Be sure to thank them for spending their money thereby helping to secure the future of the game.
It's actually quite a few more than that, in the 4 days we've been on Steam we've gained around 35,000 new commanders according to the backers app.

+35,094 commanders at time of adding screenshots.
+35,094 backers, but only +£26,121
Thats 75p per game...?
This is awesome news. Hopefully it will make Elite Dangerous... you know... dangerous!
So what is being said is that certain EVE players are paying £40/$/euros etc etc to wreck ED? I find that quite hard to believe and if is is true it will be hard thing to achieve considering how huge the unverse is in Elite. Okay they can hang around Leesti, Diso etc etc but all that will happen is players will move on.
Also who said they will be any good at playing Elite, because unless they are dedicated players they are soon going to get their asses kicked by the hardcore Top Guns in the game, flying Vultures and FDL's.

So why again do you hope that EVE dies? Live and let live since you don't have to play the game.
You think I should turn the other cheek if my game is being attacked?

They join the gams as experts.
Pathetic attempt to frighten players away. Had you said "targetting our played base" you might have been thanked for the heads up.
Request a mod closes this thread as its too feeble to be allowed to continue.

As far as this comment and the others like it go, this is going to be the only reply. I'm honestly not interested in spending my day to day monitoring a thread and replying to everyone who doesn't like what was posted. There is no attempt to frighten anyone away, if this is going on and the group of idiots from over there are doing it there is nothing the players here can do about it here anyway. There is already griefing happening in Elite so this shouldn't be a new revelation for anyone. This was meant mainly as a heads up for FD, maybe I should have simply emailed them the notice. As someone previously posted this is technically hearsay I have no proof of anything but I believe the folks who mentioned it. If FD sees a significant uptick in griefing over the near term then they'll at least have an idea as to one of the factors. I'm honestly not thrilled at the idea of them over here if that's what they are coming to do but if FD handles the griefing well I don't think it will be an issue.
.
And on the semantics of the our/your. Its FD's player base, not mine - I don't run the game.
Warned them Jeff did. But no-one listen to Jeff.
Yeah, its easy to ignore the metagame if you pay little attention to the forums.
Bring it on... Let them grief me if they can. I suspect they'll run out of money and interest and quit Elite before I do.
I would love to see that i did not even know eve players could fly a craft leave alone leave there world of spread sheets in space wow that's amazing.
Thank you EVE players we know you have so much time on your hands and now this confirms things also thanks for further contributing your kind donations to Elite Dangerous i am sure the DEVS will use the 40 pounds wisely and us players will get the better deal, more meat for the grinder and more content ect.

The raised cash total likely only includes direct store purchases with steam sales not incrementing the value.
"A large group of players from multiple corps on EvE"... How many evil players can there be in that game? And why would they organize themselves and focus on griefing ED players instead of playing their own game? What would their gain be? Good for us to know though that EvE-players are contributing to the development of this game by buying it. And still... How very pathetic and childlike it all sounds... Kids will be kids i guess
