So the idiot tried to shoot me on the undock but i had an insta, then he follows me around being annoying.
Had a talk to coolguy ceo, shrugs all round, he made me ceo and split, i got an out of corp buddy to move all the corp assets in many orca loads while the jackass slept.
See he thought all the new recruits had no hauling or fighting ability, so acted the fool.

His stuff was delicious, probably one of the few times a jerk directly paid for it.
OP has no imagination or patience, definitely not leadership material.

Last month I was spamming the recruitment channel a bit and talked to dozens of folks only to get a couple of them recruited, you know how this works.

So this little guy in a trial account got interested by mining and I taught him the ropes: what ships to fly, how to properly fit his vessels to resist the rats, and kill them with the appropiate drones, and whatnot.

We made some mining ops

We ran a session of lvl1 and lvl2 missions

I wasted my time and isk doing such poor-man activities just for the nice feeling of helping a new EVE Online player. Finally he subscribed for 6 months. Yay!

It was all nice when suddenly, hey, I got this shiny idea:

How do I introduce this little carebear to PVP? What if I scare him? LOL

So he was trying his brand new Retriever - epic moment as he described it - he worked a reasonable amount of hours mining in Venture to afford it. Well I popped in belt with my Caracal and blasted his shields. Got no response.

I talked in corp channel and fleet channel. I loled. Nothing. AFK?

Suddenly his ****** retriever is moving aligned to station but the miserable was scrambled by myself. Still no response in chat. LMAO...

So as I consider silence as an insult to my intelligence, I decided to excavate the armor. Scary! Now the little guy decided to talk:

"WTF is this? Im placing a huge bounty on your head!!! This is not a joke!!!!!"


I loled a bit more and finally let him go in a perfectly white structure, only after explaining him he should trust no one and that this was only a demonstration of how harsh EVE can be.

To be fair he probably isn't cutout for eve, but you were also a bit of a ****

Dude docked and dropped from corp, blocked me. I noticed he blocked me because I was offering some ISK to repair his armor... but message couldnt get delivered.

He still in NPC after 1 month. I think he really quited EVE Online. Waste of 70 bucks, LOL!!!I I have mixed feelins about this.




He obviously isn't cut out for eve, you were also a **** though.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Pathetic

And CCP wonders why it has trouble keeping new players.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

From how you tell the story it seems like you were doing a bad job of explaining the situation to your "friend". You mentor some guy for a while, then you suddenly attack them and instead of explaining that you wanted to introduce them to PvP and never actually meant to cause any harm, you say "you can't trust anyone".

It's not just what you did, it's how you did it. Unless of course it all went down differently from how you're telling it.

To create some balance here I should mention a case where a new player, who was bored out of his mind doing PI, got attacked in lowsec by a pirate and decided to pursue a career in PvP. As a result he didn't quit EvE which he was ready to do before being introduced to PvP in this sudden and unexpected manner.

You're supposed to teach newbies that they can trust you, and only you, not that they can't trust anybody. Terrible move.

If my CEO shot at me I'd drop corp too. Why would I stay in a dumbass' corp?

I wouldn't join a new corp, though. I'd join FW and go PVP. :P

So this one time, I got my friend to sign up for a trial account. I had him skip all of the tutorials, including the first one where you get your rookie ship and instead travel 18 jumps to me. Then I had him dock and told him I was gonna give him a great ship when he undocked. Instead, me and my 20 alts podded him bro! He was so mad he quit EvE right there! How hardcore am I bro! I was all like "L33T PEW PEW *****!" And he just couldn't handle it. And that's why I have no friends! I'm too l33t pew pew to have friends.

Great job at creating player created content.

Except you hurt CCP's bottom line.

Its ok we hate them all anyways.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Any newbie who is suddenly under attack will be quite busy with everything but... typing in chat. Expecting said newbie to reply to the OP's whims while being in a stressful is says more about the OP than it says about his target.

nah, that's the thread about the patch notes. This is clearly a stealth nerf AFK cloak thread.


How wrong can you both be? This is obviously a nerf hisec thread.

I usually just cruise around high sec in my ganking alt (t2 catalyst) and look out for shitfits and young characters. So if I finally spot one I immediatly open fire and smacktalk them in a convo afterwards. Because youknow they should know that EvE is a harsh place and EvE players are assholes. Then I direct them to the forums and show them the number of likes I have and that EvE players actually approve of persons like me. If thats not enough to make them quit EvE I place a 10m bounty on their head. They dont actually know that this has minimum effect on their gameplay and is no incentive to gank someone. Yea thats my daily EvE life.

Sounds like he took your advice about not trusting you. What did you expect?

And no it doesn't sound like rage quitting. Actually he made a smart choice. You don't sound like someone anyone would want to fly with.

This is what a good EVE player does. Get Even. Bad players rage quit, or worse, run to the forums and ask CCP to make what happen to them impossible.

If the new player desribed in the OP truly did quit because of a corp mate taking his ship into hull, he didn't belong in this game to begin with.

Hrm... Isn't that something that people of a certain caste of players do since they feel they aren't making enough isk compared to other people?

I'm not naming names unless you want to go there.

Anyways, this behavior only reinforces the idea that never leaving NPC corps is the way to go. Is that what you really want? Everyone in NPC corps?

You're just a liar. Well, that or your screen name is more descriptive than you are telling us. I personally make plenty of money, and you can't point to a single post where I said I wanted to make more than I do (or more than someone else). This is why I really dislike you, you don't have an honest bone in your body.

I don't care what corp people are in, it has nothing to do with me. But you are incorrect, what the OP did doesn't equate to "never leave NPC corps". It equates to "be mentally tough enough and creative enough to swim with the space sharks OR never leave an NPc corp (or high sec)".

You seem to always fall on the side of the weak minded, and I don't get that. Is it really too much to expect the players of a video game to find a way to make it in the game's virtual society? Why play EVE (a game with nothing equivilent to the real worlds "gun control" and where it's ok to shoot bullies) if all you're ever gonna do is let people bully you?

End of ******* story.

How long do you really think this carebear would have lasted if losing his armour was the final nail in the coffin???
