I'm obviously not the first to point out the stupidity in your actions. It really didn't matter if you where carrying a PLEX or an Officer mod, you where destined to get popped coming out of statiion. People have cargo and ship scanners for a reason. But I digress. There is no reason whatsoever to haul PLEX unless it's loot you picked up from a wreck. You should've researched this before moving something so valuable and expected the possibility of losing it as soon as you clicked "Undock"

Eve is not like other games and nor should it be. It rewards the clever and heavily punishes the uninformed or stupid. My favorite ancedote is "In other MMO's when you lose something the developer gives you a hug, pats you and the head, and gives it back. Eve laughs in your face and then kicks you in the nuts."

Now, had you been on the other end of this great gank you would've been praising how awesome this game was. You just would've scored hundreds of mil worth of loot and been set. Instead, you where the victim...so you chose to cry about it expecting sympathy and for something to change. Perhaps you should've undocked in a more agile ship, or had an "instaundock" bookmark that you could instantly warp to after leaving station.

Nevertheless, you live and learn from your mistakes. I know I have.

Something you never need to do since you can activate a plex from anywhere in the galaxy, all you got to do is contract it over and all is well in the world. Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Hey,

I finally decided to rejoin the EVE community after a year hiatus, the idea of bombing people from space in dust was pretty appealing. So my friend and I reactivated our accounts and with the 3 billion or so isk we had we had I went and bought 2 plex in jita. I used one myself and undocked to deliver the other one to my friend. Probably some of you are already snickering. I was instantly popped upon leaving the station before even having time to react. I'm not here to qq, I believe that games are just code which set rules on play, players will exploit the code for the most gain possible. However, the game seems to be, if anything, more slanted toward griefing then ever. I don't remember being instapoped very often in jita. Unfair pvp matches aren't really enjoyable experiences, when you lose because the load screen takes too long and you can't align because some big ass tug boat is bumping you, you don't think to yourself 'man, I ****** up' you think, 'the mechanics in this game suck.' Needless to say, we decided to just let his time for plex timer expire and go play starcraft.

So with that, I bid you ado. Perhaps in another few years I'll try again, good luck and fly safe.

No you did not 'just undock with the PLEX.' You had to go through some courier rigamarole first. And I notice how you do not say what ship type you undocked in, therefore you did not.

Post is a lie.

Thank JESUS you are gone. Roll

I finally decided to join the crack game agian after a year hiatus, the idea of selling crack to people was pretty appealing. So my friend and I took out a loan knowing we could pay it back after we split the crack and resold it. Probably some of you are already snickering. I was instantly cought by the police after buying a pound, right before I even got into my car. I'm not here to qq, i believe that crack game is a trap and the cops are just there to arrest inoccent poor people. However, the crack game seems to be if anything more slanted toward arresting people than ever. I don't remember being instally locked up in LA very often. Unfair police tactics arn't really enjoyable experiences, when you lose because the car door takes too long to open and you can't put it in drive because some big ass semi is infront of you, you don't htink to yourself 'man, i **** up' you think "the mechanices in the crack game just suck" needless to say, we decided to just do our time and go back to day trading.

So with that, i bid you ado. Perhaps in a nother few years i'll try agian, good luck and smoke safe.

The rules of Jita:

1) Always undock to an insta.
2) Assume you'll be ship/cargo scanned at the Perimeter gate and in any 0.5 choke systems, and fit/plan accordingly
3) Pretend its lowsec and use cloaky haulers whenever possible

As for losing your PLEX, yeah it sucks but is it really worth quitting over? That's like 2 HACs. Sure it stings, but its hardly the end of the world.

DAMN... unlucky!

The chances of that happening in Jita off the station isn't very high. HOWEVER... it happens. To cancel after one incident though... is pointless.

I guess eve isn't for you.

But, it's very short sighted to say that the game is 'geared' towards griefers, as CCP is making very concerted efforts to clamp down on griefing in high sec. (take note of fanfest 2012).
Also.. i suggest you look over other threads from griefers complaining about it.

So, if you want a 100% chance of not getting killed in high sec, play another game. IF you want the THRILL AND CHALLENGE of a good MMO.... learn the mechanics, learn to survive and play eve!

.................It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger...............

Why would anyone ever leave a station with a plex onboard, you can use the redeem system to bounce it "virtually" anywhere, or you can just contract it to ur friend who then activates it from assets. So this is either a troll or a super fail.

It's a sandbox, not a game. you weren't griefed, you were ganked for someone elses profit for being a tard. Think before you act & don't undock with stupid crap in your cargo hold on un-tanked ships & you will find your experience in eve much more enjoyable.

The other players are just here to continually remind you of that should you dare speak about it. Most annoying thing of the week: You failed to dock/jump because you are cloaked (in your Deep Space Transport).
