Eve players are awesome and ill tell you why...

So I made my first visit to low sec today to pickup some skill books I bought on market, all was going well I arrived in 0.3 space and noticed a player stationary outside the station I wanted to dock with so I approached cautiously.

At first the player micro warped away about 100km then started coming back so I just docked quick as I can, when it came time to undock the player was right outside about 2km away so I paniced and locked on the drones then fired only to be defeated quite quickly with the use of warp scrambler and webifier (plus better skills I dare say).

So I lost my ship and pod then got ready to regroup when the most surprising thing occured the guy who killed me messaged me and started giving me advice on how I could of done things better including fittings and tactics... I was amazed but at the same time humbled.

This is why Eve players are awesome!

Thanks for reading :)

one of the few MMOs whose playerbase are so helpful, and where players look for, and congratulate each other after a good fight, despite any permanent losses.

Yes, their are greifers but also many, many helpful people; one of the things that keeps me playing

Chatting friendly and discussing an engagement after a gf is pretty common in lowsec.

The pirate scum is usually more friendly than the sov-nullsec crowd (mostly because politics is so important there, and destruction of morale is part of the war, while lowsec-pvp needs their "marks" to come back to shoot at them again P).

Eve is a hard outer shell with a soft centre.

Pvp'd for the first time last night and was surprised how nice everyone was and even got some tips out of my killers. Honestly im not much of a pvp person but I gave it a shot as a preemptive measure to brace myself for the inevitable loss of expensive ships later in my career, but everyone being so nice about it has encouraged me to keep at it. +1 eve community

So I guess the moral of the story is ye you may lose a ship but may gain some valuable advice in the process :)

Sadly once you understand how to play station games they become a lot less fun.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Honorable Pirates.... I'd have done the same thing, except I'd have also paid for your hull, since you decided to stand and fight...

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Contrary to popular care bear belief, PvPers in Eve only play sociopathic thugs on TV.

PvPers LIVE to geek out on fittings, skills, and tactics. Be cool after a loss and chances are you will get your ear talked off by what isn't really some swashbuckling Blackbeard, but just another gamer dork with cheetos stains on his shirt.

When I was a low sec pirate I had some newb come in and ask for a fight, after going Rifter v Rifter and slaughtering him, I explained how utterly fail his fitting was, discussed his skills, then contracted him my T2 fit Rifter so he would know what skills to work on -- train till you can fly this-- then come back and fight me in it.

It's not personal when I ram a full broadside of Fleet EMP up your tail pipe. It's just a game. It's more fun when people actually fight, so most PvP'ers are only enemies until one side is in a pod at a safe and there is time for GF's and chit chat. I've chatted fittings with fleets camping me in somewhere. In a truly good engagement the battle for best p0rn spam in local is as heated as your rack of Gatling Pulses.
Even those giant battles in null with billions lost per side almost universally end with GF's in local.

See, it's not about a Win or Loss, but a Good Fight.

PvPers love Good Fights more than they love internet spaceships.
