I'd prefer it if this thread would stop being bumped as it's being viewed with the wrong attitudes.

I'm a 5 day know it all who's opinion is completely invalid and counts for nothing.
-
I'm a "fake noob" PvP alt hell-belt on trolling carebears on the forum.


I'm competent with my belief that both of the above are wrong - but as this is a public discussion, aimed at you guys... the community, I'll wait until I've fully established myself within the game and evolved from noob to player, then I'll make another thread on the discussion which may hold a little more worth and credibility.

Don't let the babbies get to you. Just laugh at their pathetic attitudes and carry on.

Nice try but it's a troll. Post with your main since you aren't new. Thanks for playing though. :)

I don't know Dar. That statement there leads me to believe they haven't spent a lot of time around Eve and it's players.

Here we go again...

Go join your fleet of 50 and gank lone cargo carriers while saying carebears have no place. Pretty sure that hi-sec miner is taking more risk than you.

BTW, how much risk does a scammer take right now? Maybe when bounties come out, but really no reprecussions atm. But by all means let us idolize them.

I look forward to your future epic posts OP, on all your alts.

I'm less than a week old myself and honestly disappointed it's been so hard for me to find any PvP. I've yet to be ganked, and other noobs like me out right refuse to pvp with me, to afraid of loosing anything, even when I offer Rookie Ship fights. I was talking in EveRadio chat the other night and thought someone might put a bounty on me, it was kind of exciting, I was hoping it would cause someone to come after me and make for a fun fight, death, and story. But alas, they never actually did it.

Honestly, once I train up a bit more I might just fly out to low sec or null sec and start picking fights, gonna head out that way to train with Agony Unleashed eventually anyways. Why not leave a trail of bodies and ship wrecks in my wake?(my own and my opponents).

Soooo....OP admits she understands EVE is a sandbox, then proceeds to suggest people who play a certain way should be censored and marginalized.

...Kay.


I fully agree with the posters who call this an alt of a null sec main.


Hey Nullsec, want to make Nullsec more interesting?

Stop f**king Blueing up everything.

FIGHT.

You complain about have no targets, yet the thousands of targets around you are missed because you want to hold hands and sniff flowers with them.

...don't you have another toon that's a few years old or somethin? Regardless, can you really fault "noobs like you" for not wanting to PvP? They just started playing Eve. it's not exactly the easiest thing to pick up for most people.

Yup, it's all good, but I'm yet to see any "carebear whining" that isn't bold trolling attempt. You guys are hunting ghosts.

If there are such people, then I don't know what to say... EVE's hisec is safer than most places IRL and basically everything that is stupid to do IRL, is stupid in EVE aswell.

I hope you don't carry all your swag with you through some district at town's outskirts at night and don't sign some papers without actually reading them.

When i was five days old i already knew more of the mechanics than
people who played this games for years.

There are, unlike most of you, actually intelligent people out there who know how to find information,
read that information and even understand it. They are actually interested in finding this information,
because they like to learn and understand the things they use ... unlike most of you.

Just because the average is idiocy, doesn't mean that everybody is an idiot.

No actually I don't have another toon that's older. Just started playing this game a week ago. I had friends who played/still play though, so I learned a whole ton about the game before I ever even picked it up. As for picking up PvP, well you kind of never will unless you start somewhere, might as well be now rather than later imo. Also if it's with Rookie Ships there is literally no risk, you get those things for free.

Ah Well....

Just because you have a voice doesn't mean anyone should listen.

After all, pedophiles have voices too.


And after they've paid their dues, just as much of a legal right to vote (although I'm not sure how that works in the US, but in Australia, voting is not just a right but an obligation, and failing to vote will get you a big fat $160 fine). Regardless of what they've done, what they're guilty of, or what they've achieved, the merits of a voice don't fall on the merits of the person delivering it, they fall on the merits of the voice. A pedophile claiming the earth is flat can be ignored, but one arguing the earth is round has merit.

What a person has done or not done is no measure of the merits of their opinion. Would you ignore a pedophile that is calling for world peace just because he is a pedophile? Perhaps, in your anger-biased way at the things he's done, and just to spite him, you'll go and start a war?

Don't let emotional bias cloud the merits of an argument. It's usually how things like progress end up going backwards instead.

BITTERVETZORZ!!! HAI GUYZ!!! I HATEZ TEH NOOBZ TOO, DERP DERP!!! I HATEZ TEH CAREBEARZ JUZ LIKE U!! I'MZ A KOOL KID TOO!!! SCREW TEH CAREBEARZ, MEEP MEEP, MEEP!!!

Dude, please go back to WoW/WoW Forums.

I will never for the life of me understand why some people feel the need to degrade others in order to validate themselves. Racists, Sexists, Epeeners, all the same in my book. You feel inadequate so you seek to compensate by tearing someone else down. It's f**king pathetic actually.

If you like PvP, then PvP dude. Some folks don't want to PvP. So what? Let them do what they want to do.

I read the Title, the first bit of content, and looked at the name... forgetting something are you? A past life in EVE maybe?

..where'd James 315 go? *looks around*

okay, maybe not him, (maybe), but somebody. Like everyone else, I'm having a little trouble believing that you are a 5 day old player that knows exactly what to say to get some peoples attention.

That said, I ..well.. I don't know.. *mesmerized eyes*

I think the OP is absolutely not worth the time its taking me to write this, that being said I don't believe it to be a forum alt since I saw the character in space yesterday. I could guess if he-she is misrepresenting him-herself, but I don't care enough about it to bother with.

Five day old alt is noted. Anyone got intel on the five year old nullsec main pulling the strings?

Good and vauable posts created by (few day newbis) always get a lot likes and people pay atention on it.

To OP. Well played Sir. The most important thing that you mention is that you got few day long adventure in EvE, if any old player wrote similar post like your, nobody will read it ;)

Well damn, I'm slightly over 6 months into this game and I'm still considered a nub. If you can accept that, you'll fit well in this game.


Also "fishing" is hilarious. Watch the small little fishes swim by and if you see one that is slightly too fat for it's species, BANG, you kill it. You then pounce on the carcass and gut it before some other alligator tries to steal it from you.


Delicious...
