Elite: Dangerous - Jerk Moves - Ep. 1 - The Kill Steal

Pirates are not specifically trying to annoy other players, what they do may have that effect or may not, your video shows only one purpose and that is to annoy others.

Shame you had to add an insult to your response...

Annoy others and take their stuff. Pay attention.

That's what I'm asking though.

If you see another player interdicting a ship, why would you decide it'd be a good idea to tread on their toes, and why would the other player let you?

His video commentary says it all. He aims to annoy other players, he wants to make them angry.
That is his attitude.

He has been on my ignore list for a long time for a reason.

ok can someone please point out the irony of this reply to him? no?

Ok I'll do it.

You state IN CAPS that you don't care that this type of scenario causes other people to decide playing open in certain circumstances isn't for them.

Then in the NEXT LINE tell the guy that if he does that to you "YOU'RE DEAD!", presumably because you would be annoyed at the loss and want retribution.

So just to make it clear..... you are saying you DGAS that other people are not happy with this situation in open (because last hit = bounty), and then declaring that if this happened to you, YOU WOULD NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS SITUATION - which means you care, because if you didn't you would just go...ho-hum and move on, instead of deciding to spend the next X time chasing down the offender to exact revenge for the move.

Irony, idiocy or hypocrisy; lets let the viewers decide, but either way, it comes across as foolish.

I dont think you got it.

He just says that if someone does that to him it calls for a fight. Or the OP has to run fast.

That is actually the whole point of open. Random encounters that often are cool and sometimes lead to a fight (or a lot of running away )

Basically no one really cares about 16.000 bounty. Worst scenario case you lost 5 minutes. But stealing from a player calls for a reaction.

Trust me I got it. I agree he is saying that if it happened to him it calls for a fight - meaning he DOES care if it happens to him, otherwise as I CLEARLY said, he would have no reaction of any kind and go do whatever.

He's not talking about the loss of the bounty, (probably) it's the certain principle, and it could well be a mission required NPC, or some other reason other than a random NPC gank.

So to repeat, he's claiming he DGAS about this happening in open, while also saying if it happened to him, he's going to do something about it.

Generally people don't "do something about" if they DGAS..... (don't give a S***)
