Out of Pod Experience

Working as intended, this situation could have been avoided with vigilance and some better planning. I know what it's like to lose pretty much everything but it's no reason to leave.

Came back to the game after a 3 year hiatus and had given everything but a few mods away and a thorax and had a completely stat gimped character before the days of attribute mapping with horrible skills from rushing directly into the first battleships to see themselves in the game.

Spent a week doing level 1-3 missions and spent nearly everything on a +3 clone and went into lowsec in a crap fit execuror and wound up blown up and ransomed for the last bit of isk I had left yet here I remain. It's your choice to leave but it is in no way the end if you chose for it not to be.

It was a wholly appropriate punishment purely because you gambled everything.

If I go to a horse race and bet $10,000 on a horse, I stand to lose $10,000. If I don't feel that losing 10 large would be fun, I should make a smaller bet, not complain to the bookie when my horse doesn't win.

Thanks for posting OP. Let CCP know why they measure subscription in the thousands instead of millions but its basic game theory. Predator/thief/aggressor beats victim every time but the system as a whole loses. Only collaboration brings real gains. Been true since the first herder sent his flock to eat a farmers crops and then there was the hunter that thought a herders flock were prime pickings. Round and round they went till they learned getting along was better for them all. Nothin spaceage going on here 'cept we just ain't as smart as cavemen.

Transferred som ISK to get you back on your feet.

Now, find a good corp where you can learn the ropes and who will support you.

You made yourself an expert in games that can not be won by playing game where you never going to lose anything.



It's the excuse for PvP. Get rich quickly. Anything else is just chest beating.



You where outsmarted. He knew you where coming. You could have red the handbook. You still went that road. You lost he won -- perfect PvP.

As a side note, if you make only 300M in two weeks as a new player you suck at making ISK. We don't want bad players. Please leave quietly.

OP check your wallet, you should find a small gift of ISKies, pay it forward to someone else when you get the chance.

Folks, I think we can stop now to feed the troll.

So you were stupid. Have you ever heard that "don't fly you can't afford to loose"? At least you should have heard this. Have you ever take the time to read after how secure is to haul expensive stuff in EVE? Have you ever read anything about EVE at all? This is not WOW, you wont survive if you are not smart. You came here because this game is hard? Now you can see it is. In real life you carry millions in a transparent paper bag on street? You can't do this in EVE without consequences either. You didn't know that? Now you know it.

But the most important: why you opened this topic?

One of the good things about Eve (yes! there's more than one) is that I get burned out / bummed out / raged out / cheesed off (and out) and I can step away from the game for a time and I'm still really "playing" the game - the skill queue keeps rolling on and my character developing. Other MORPG's if I'm not assuming the position between KB and screen my "off" time is dead.

So, set skills on long and step away. I've done this many, many times since Eve bit me at launch and my biggest regret was not staying sub'd over long aways and losing skill time.

For me, other games come and go but Eve remains - and with each game I pass through and leave behind, the more I appreciate the uniques nature of Eve.

Buy a gtc, sell it for 930m, buy a basilisk for incursions for 400m, do incursions and make a few billion, buy allot of tech 1 cruisers and frigates, join eve uni or rvb. Problems solved.
