I just paid $15 to try this new Retribution expansion and when I logged in all I did was say hello I get a two million bounty slapped on me, when I ask what I did wrong everyone laughed at me. I always knew EVE was a game for bullys and griefers but damn why make it even worse CCP? I feel like I have just wasted my money and I have zero intentions of ever playing this cyber bully's paradise of a video game again.

You just lost another potential player CCP, I hope Dust 514 fails miserably.

And we also told you time and again, bounties don't equal killrights. And that people wont gun you down solely because of it.
Also haha.

2 million bounty? That's it?

Here let me add another 5 million to it, that should make things more fun!

EVE might not be appropriate for the excessively sensitive.

I really should have, and what was I supposed to read? I just installed the game and said hello, has this really become such a cyber bully filled game that one has to avoid even speaking to other people? Wow that sounds very unsocial for a social video game.... man screw EVE.

Having a bounty doesn't flag you as a free target. No one is going to suicide gank you for an extra 2M if they weren't going to do it in the first place.

Of course, that's why we need to put him into "gankable" range.

No one curses Dust, no one.

Wrong, there are several corps and dozens or people who literally just suicide gank people who aren't paying attention or on autopilot just because, even though it runs no profit.

I don't care about the amount, its the fact all I said was hello, you know trying to be polite, maybe make a couple friends to make the social mmorpg game I'm playing more enjoyable, and what did I get for my troubles but a big fat troll. This just isn't a game for good people, this is Evil Online.

Clearly not cut out for internet spaceships.

5. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.
