Generalization and mostly inaccurate, but that's not surprising considering the source. PVP for most real avid PVPers is about having a real challenge, not by fighting an AI, but by outwitting, out maneuvering, and out performing another player/gang.
Unfortunately, (and this is another generalization, but easily seen on these forums) those who are afraid to risk their assets, the carebears, are more concerned about saving their precious pixels, of having more NIC and more toys, with no risk to those assets. What is the point of having gads of NIC and toys, if you are too afraid to lose them instead of enjoying them?
And by carebears, I do not mean industrialists and miners - just because you like to build things, and tyvm for that, otherwise we would not have bots to PVP in or kill, does not make a carebear. I know plenty of miners and industrialists willing to combat bot up when needed. No, it's the ones too afraid to lose anything, of risk, who want nothing but the rewards, and inflate their egos with "look at all my wealth" mentality.
The mentality of insecurity is FEAR. Try looking in a mirror, you'll see a perfect image of it...
EDIT - spelling and revised isk to NIC ( yea, I know, stEVE infected...)
In the gods we trust, all others bring data!
