EVE New Citizens Q&A

Want to make ISK by partnering with a fellow new player? Please add me in game if you want to capitalize on the opportunity. MUST HAVE GOOD ENGLISH.

Corporations will do that FREE!

I understand where you're coming from but everyone in my corp is already a well established player. I am looking for someone to train and befriend as they will be fairly new to EVE. They will gain ISK by helping me mine and I will help them become a good PVE player by protecting me while I mine. All the while they will just sit on their nice little bottom and watch out for minor pestering done by NPC. Getting paid to erect themselves down the path they wish to follow, which by most observations of new players is wanting to battle others or their environment. It's always nice to have a friend when starting a new game to learn the ropes. Quite sad this was misinterpreted as a ploy for a scam.

If you really are a new player you are in no position to be teaching others the game. The blind leading the blind rarely works out well for either party.

ganker meatshield for miner escapes
Of course the newbie with the gun could be out making a lot more ISK than a miner could make for himself alone.

I have to agree with the other posters. You are probably better off isk wise to drop the minning lazor and just run belt to belt killing rats yourself.

Granted isk per hour isn't the only thing in this game and making friends is important. So while I agree that making friends is important I don't think that you are doing any new player any favors by paying them to watch you while you mine. Team up with other players where everyone is acting as equals and the game will be more fun for everyone.

Well you do understand that is what you are asking of a new player, to be a meat shield for ganks as miners do get ganked. You seem to haven't yet, but you will. If you are new, I'll give you advice here, form up with an experienced corp that protects their mining ops. If the two of you are new, you might both wind up ragequitting over what will happen to you. I see no hostility here, just realism from vets that understand how things work and are willing to provide realistic counsel. Don't be surprised by a protective attitude here, there are all sorts of "helping newbie" scams and such drifting around. Lucks!

i get it mate,
you want to take someone on board and healp out, its noble, genuinely it is.
however a s someone that clubs baby seals ( much like yourself ) for fun in down-time between contracts i can tell you that you should be able to defend yourself and/or enable your potential newbro to defend themselves from someone like me

again, sorry for setting the tone here and getting you on the defensive,

sincerely i apologise,

what do ye do, what levels of experience are present in your corp?

I'll be a little more clear. This started out as a post looking for someone to ally with on a buddy-buddy level. It was suspected I was scamming then I was told I shouldn't be helping anyone as I am new myself. If my post had no information why was it quoted so much to expose illogical methods. I just want someone to talk to in the game as I feel too much like the new players try to fend for themselves. I notice two active people in my corp and are both far ahead of me by having multiple characters and knowing what to do already. I am not trying to be a **** to anyone but I didn't realize asking for a friend was so hard.

I'm not trying to continue this and if you want to become hostile then so be it. I will have no rebuttal. All I was asking for was how I should help them. Still yet to receive an answer.
