Amamake is blob land, mostly non-blinkys that don't know the meaning of solo pvp live in there and think they are hot shit. They stick a bait ship in a belt hoping a pirate(who is usually alone or has very little backup)will attack him so they can gank him, ultimately boosting there e-peen.
Most of the time it is FW players, because I have learned Minmatar/Amarr FW don't plex?, so I ask why? There usual answer, "we were waiting for a fw gang, you showed up at the wrong time"(Just be honest and say we are dumb fucks who don't know shit, but yes fc, orbit, f1, f2, f3, etc).
Whatever, FW fights do not usually occur in belts, they occur on gates and in fw plex's(but they don't plex). I spent alot time in Caldari/Gallente FW space, and those guys actually plexed, and I very rarely found ANY of them "baiting" in a belt, with a blob on standby. I did find large gangs on gates often, but I never found them baiting in a belt. This not only happens in Amamake, but the surrounding systems, which sucks! Because you see a ship in a belt, a reasonable amount of people in local, and you want to move in for the kill. BOOM, local spike, is it just the random fw gang passing by or is it bait? Its bait, shit.. GTFO.. Too late.. Pod time.. Lame..
Another occurrence, which was too obvious, me and a couple of corp m8's were sitting in station when a hostile pilot from a neighboring system came into local and docked with us. He immediately undocked, knowing this guy is not a hauler, I smelled something "fishy". I had also noticed a few unfriendly pilots quickly pass through local just a few minutes earlier, also indicating trouble. Lilly said that he was going to undock his domi to check it out and I promptly told him not to return fire if fired upon, that this smelled of a trap.
Sure enough he was sitting outside station in a mega waiting for us, he promptly locked Lilly and opened fire, Lilly docked right up as I told him too. I have seen this too many times in high sec wars. So I undocked my vaga, Lilly undocked right behind me. I smashed my microwarp drive the instant I undocked and locked him when I hit 50km, and engaged!
My 220mm Vulcan Autocannons rained fire on him for 0 damage!
Nope, he was not blinky and nope Lilly did not engage, I was under sentrys but this is exactly what I wanted. Being the poor bait that he was, he called in his troops, I laughed, why? Because I was 50km away in a vagabond and Lilly was safe on the station and had not engaged. He had NOTHING!! What a moron! Sure enough multiple battleships/battlecruisers arrived to find Lilly docking and me leaving safely. Smack commenced in local after I lol'd @ them. We killed nothing but I got much satisfaction knowing that I had pissed on the hornets nest and didn't get stung.
Why do I bring this up? This seems to be the constant in eve now, bait with a noob corp player, or sit solo in a belt alone, bring in the blob to gank... But its like fishing, if the bait is tasty enough, you will get a bite.. So is it win? Does everyone really think need to bait to get a fight? Or is it just the area? You decided.
