EVE General Discussion

Long ago I made an Khanid character. I breezed over to Amarr in my noob ship to pick up some +3s and was promptly destroyed upon undocking.

Wrong place. Wrong time. Good lesson.

In any case, it's the only time I've been SBed in high sec in my eight years playing. The odds of hitting a smartbomber before he's Concorded are so slim that it's not worth worrying about. Even with a billion in implants.

Funnily enough, yesterday I had my leopard hit by that exact same set-up along the Dixie-Hek corridor (probably in Uttindar, as Lloyd mentioned), thankfully it was only one pulse so I made it through the gate intact. If this becomes a common theme then I'd just switch to a tanked frig/inty to get around, it's not a huge loss of time.

And in regards to the behaviour of this latest generation, then I'm afraid people simply need to develop thicker skin, or just block them. There's always been cases of individuals hiding behind screens, spewing out whatever vitriol that fills them, or just winding others up for the pleasure of it. The problem is that this sort of behaviour has become, dare I say it, almost fashionable of late. Unfortunately, people get wound up far too easily (I'm thinking of those select CODE victims), so it's not going to go away until people learn to take a deep breath before putting their fingers on the keyboard.
