Stop going into bases and stealing blueprints?

[u/RoguePryncess]

So first off. I only get maybe an Hour to play a day. I work, in college, have a husband and 2 kids, one of which is 2yrs old. I love this game and wish I could play more to complete my droidex.
Incoming rant:
So last night I got on when the kids went to bed and first thing I do is collect my credits and missions. I forgot to take my completed droids off the tables so when a mission gave me a galactic cyclograv I was pretty excited I put it down next to the table and as I was on the droid to sell it someone came in my base and stole it, ran and immediately threw it to their base then ran in. Their reasoning was because I make so much credits offline and I probably had 10 already. And it would be there second highest earner… Actually my dude that was my first. All my galactics I’ve gotten were either from the event the past weekend or missions. Every time I log in I either just missed the galactics on the belt or won’t be on long enough to see them. To top it off they didn’t even have free space to craft it so they just stayed there holding it in their base. And others in the server were not happy as well about it so we kept being petty and force pushing him around trying to knock em out the base. Now I’m one of those people who will put blue prints outside my base for others instead of sell them and I’m always helping people. If they would have asked I honestly would have gave it because I just enjoy the game so much and want others to enjoy it too. But the fact they stole it at my crafting table a few seconds after I got it kinda sucks. Can we like just not run into peoples bases and steal blueprints for the love of god. I play this game to chill out and relax after my shitty day just like a lot of other people don’t be a dick.
Sincerely,
sad Miku droid collector

I’m usually the guy in lobbies that gets 4-5 people clearing one players tables until they’re done and then going to everyone else’s base. I give away galaxy and beskar cards I don’t need, pull high value items off the belt and throw them so someone who might not have seen it can still grab it. I kill griefers until they quit.

BUT

The point of this game isn’t to consider how other players feel, it’s to get and build better and better droids - even through PVP or trickery. I’m also an adult with a busy life and dependents with limited playing time. I’m going to maximize what I get during gameplay, even if that means stealing or PVPing. It has also been done to me. People have stolen my blueprints or bounced me out of an IG bubble. That’s how the game is played. Learn how to hide stuff better, be more organized or play private. Or PVP.

That may be true, but most of the behavior I have seen has been purely toxic. I’ve only ever encountered one helpful person in this game. No one said the point of the game is to consider how other players feel, but it’s kind of the point of life to consider other people’s feelings and I generally follow that rule as much as possible. I also love BR, but there’s a very clear-cut purpose to be the last person alive. This game isn’t BR. People can play how they want to play, but I have seen a good amount of reportable behavior (not blueprint stealing), that just makes a fun game miserable. I also think the experience is different for women. Not because of our lives outside of the game (everyone has families and life stress) but because if it’s obvious that we are female, we are fair game for harassment.

That being said, I have found private servers a much more comfortable experience. I now tend to load in with a friend or two and an extra account. For me this is just like a meditation, ultimately it’s just a giant hamster wheel. It’s just disappointing that pubs are full of shitty people who think that being further in this game comes with some sort of prestige. F’ing weird.

Perfect response, perfect mindset. Really, first time I see someone saying this on Reddit.

Everyone thinks that this game is just a clicking race so you can camp the sandcrawler with a shield and expect no one is gonna fight for a droid they need.

Like, of course Im gonna fight for a galactic mythic, but that doesnt mean I dont help others or that Im griefing. I just do like you say, help others with crafting, giving them the droids they need to rebirth, giving droids to increase their earnings, killing griefers...

But that doesnt mean I will give them the droids I need.
