You're a loser.

Some dickhead popped my Epithal in Faurulle. What was I doing, you might ask? I was filling up on PI materials at the POCO.
You know who the loser is in this instance? It's not me.

It's the ganker.

People look at zkillboard, see lots of kills and say "X has lots of kills! ISK efficiency FTW!" But if you look closely at those kills, you'll see that most of the losses were unarmed industrials, quietly going about their business. If you're such a hardcore pvp champion, why aren't you going up against RvB or Rooks and Kings? Why not join a massive alliance and take on Goonswarm? The answer is one of two things: either you're just looking for an easy kill, in which case you're nowhere near as swag as you think you are, or you're just a whore looking to pad their killboard, in which case you're pathetic and deserving of scorn.

I spent an unhappy few minutes fetching an Impairor and cleaning up the mess that killwhore made, reloading the remains of my PI cargo back into the POCO and going off to get a new ship. If annoying and inconveniencing industrialists is the only way for you to get your jollies in EVE, you need to chuck in your subscription and find something better to do with your free time, because you're not playing the game properly. Undocked or not, I did not consent to you blowing up my ship, and I won't consent the next time you find me in an Epithal, either. Leave PI haulers alone and find someone who can actually shoot back, you loser.

It's your thread, not the kill. He' s after your reaction. Now he's won. Try to do it better next time.

with reference to the EvE Online New Pilot FAQ, page 15, Section 5, Clause 5.3 and i qoute, "In EVE Online, any player may attack any other player if they choose to, no matter where they happen to be. This is because EVE Online is essentially a PvP (Player versus Player) game at its core". Furthermore from the same reference page 22, Section 7, Clause 7.2 and again i qoute, "No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided".

so what the ganker did was normal. don't be an idiot and use in-game tools to protect yourself and always be vigilant. you wouldn't know if the ganker also sells PI products that you will be competing against, right?

Killboards are stupid. Kill efficiency is stupid. Kill whoring is stupid.

Ganking anything and everything outside of starter systems is just fine and is an integral part of what keeps this game fun. As well, OPs like yours don't hurt either for some entertainment when not logged in.

Lowsec is pvp Mecca. If you are going to go there in a T1 industrial, expect to be shot. No different to if you went there in a pvp fit.

With 6 warp core stabs you really should have been able to get away.

They don't care about individual ganks unless the ganked does something to bring attention to their loss in which case they actually enjoy it more since it is free advertising to like minded players.

Eve is one of the interesting games where individual safety is frequently directly opposite of the advertised security status of the system and directly related to the numbers you fly with.
Eve is a griefer's paradise and many game mechanics feed right into that.

Eve really is designed to bring out the worst in any player that sticks around and many can't get enough of that.

Yeh, whoever that guy was, he should be ashamed of himself.

Absolutely no challenge in doing what he did.

For yours and my sake, I'm sorry people like him exist.

But in all honesty, you shouldn't let the shortcomings of other people negatively impact you so much that you're willing to create a thread to voice your displeasure.

All it does is attract the attention of other poor examples of people looking to apply pressure on what they perceive as a wound.

Be like me, be better than them at all aspects of existence and just go on about your day as if it and they are nothing, because they are.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling.
