EVE General Discussion

This post is pretty long, if you don't feel like reading the story-ish part, skip to the *-----*


This week, My corporation has had much difficulty with one player. I won't name them for now, but this is what happened:

Basically, I was set to recruit for my corporation, and my first or second recruit played like he was enjoying the game. Then a few days pass by and he suddenly blocks everyone in the corporation except his real life friend, and quits the corporation.

A few days later, I see a person in the local chats while I'm looking for plausible recruits and notice someone was about that had switched corporations over 10 times in one month. So I told my corporation owner watch out for this guy.

Well, it just so happens, the next morning, that this guy applies to my corporation. Then seconds later, I see the player appear in the corporation chat.I immediately tell my corporation leader to take him out on the spot, but it was too late, my leader didn't have the ability to kick him because the player wasn't docked.

(apparently my corporation leader miss-clicked or something, because he never accepts applications anymore)

Around this time, some of my corporation members were returning from an operation, and get blown up by that rogue player.

Now, during this time, that player admits he was the previous player that blocked me and my whole corp and left.

After proceeding to Dock-trap my whole corporation (which consists of mostly new people, which will be explained later) he goes on to explaining that he was doing it because my corporation was a care-bear corp and that he's trying to scare my members and give them an idea of how the game really is, (which they had a good damn idea of how the game really was).

This really annoyed me thousands of times over.

(And the player's actions were petitioned, this includes spawntrapping, quickscoping and spamming of the corporation chat)

Yes, the corporation I'm in has many new players, it's not bad they're new, anyone who has a problem with that should remember the first days they started playing (you had a childhood once, if you are too good to think about the statement I said, refer to that)

I recruited all 33 Players from June 11th to June 20th (you can check the corporation member count, and I can screen shot the joined dates for you if you don't believe me, and send me a pm if you seriously don't believe me.)

Now, the reason the player was saying My corporation was a care-bear corporation was because we aren't exactly a CORPORATION like you might find some other corporations in the game resembling those of real life. And those corporations take things WAY too seriously for new players to handle.

I am trying to get a group together that can make isk, and "work" although they are really playing, along with other fellow players. The pay is fair, but there's no bribe to get them into the corp, or over payment.

If you've played other games, you'll find that their game mechanic is called a clan or guild or some legion-like system.
You don't join those to be forced to repeatedly do an action, you join them to have fun, and that's something I'm not seeing many players, old and new, having.

I'm trying to emulate that environment into my corporation, because I think it's not very cool to cause that much stress and obsessiveness over a GAME.


I'm not really seeing much of the universal player game etiquette in this game, and it's kind of sad.

If you don't know what a universal player game etiquette is, it's where old players help out the new players, or players interact with each other in a decent way. You can still pvp, because it's part of the game, just don't be a jerk or destroy them repeatedly without a good cause.

BTW NOT ALL PLAYERS WERE LOGGED IN AT ONCE THERE WERE 1-9 AT THE TIME, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO BUY A SHIP AND FLY IT WITHOUT LEAVING THE STATION TO GO GET IT.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of CCP's philosophy on player interactions.

Please point out the fundamental misunderstanding.

Also, your CEO should reimburse the victims and reenable the "are you sure" pop ups ...

If the guy was killing everyone for no personal gain or profit, but rather to just "show them noobs", then yeah it can be considered griefing.

You have a very high option of yourself understanding of what is or not grieffing. What about let CCP and this person set what is about in this particular case?

My opinion is not better than yours but at least I'll try to give Op an option to set things straight about his concerns witch is obviously not your case.

So unless your GM yourself, witch I doubt, you should try to answer Op concerns the best you can (witch I doubt too)

This.

Working as intended

the reason he is killing you and you deserve to die is that you thought that was griefing

you've earned it, best of luck

Not empty quoting.
