It's really not that hard to avoid PvP in low sec if you know what you're doing.

I have no ******* clue how people get killed by pirates all the time. I have been auto piloting through 0.1 to 0.5 dozens of times, while eating for 10 minutes and I have never gotten caught. I have been flying a ****** cruiser that maxes 260 m/s. This game isn't focused around exploring, it's focused on PVP, it's what you mostly see of in the trailers. It's what attracts people to this game. If you can't handle yourself losing some ****** frigate you're not made for this game.

I'm always puzzled by posts like. I've lived in 0.0/low-sec 90% of my eve life and yes on occasion when I'm drunk or being lazy I get killed in a camp but it's probably happened less than 10 times in what 5 years.....If anything 0.0 is fairly easy to live in as long as you don't mind moving once every 6 months depending on who your leadership is at the time has pissed off Big smile

Eve is like natural selection it weeds out the lazy and the stupid.

You fit a prototype cloak. To a Stratios.

You sold everything you owned to buy a Stratios and you did not even try to put any thought into how to fit it or examine how the ship works, and then you set off to lowsec with your only valuable possession.

Eve is a PVP game, including in hisec, where you can get ganked. If you don't like that then maybe you should just quit. Or, perhaps come to terms with the game being the way it is. It's what makes Eve special.

Yep, definitely baffling.

Your biggest mistake is not learning a real life lesson that most people learn at a young age.

Mainly that, when things don't go your way, you step back, examine what you did, why things didn't go your way, and think about what you can do next time to even the odds in your favour a little.

What you did, however...I just don't get it. Every time you got caught was a learning opportunity, but instead of seeing it as such, you threw a tantrum, spewed some excuses, and rage-quit.

No amount of raging or poorly-thought-out 'fixes' (honestly, you basically advocated for a PvP switch in your OP) will help you not get caught in a gate camp next time. No matter how many times you whine that other players ruin your fun, that will not force you to fit a covert ops cloaking device on a covert ship.

So (as I learned luckily in month 2 of my eve career) you should take a step back, find out why you got caught, and what you can do to not get caught next time.

If, instead of rage-quitting, you do this after each loss, I know you'll soon find that even the most brutal multi-dictor nullsec camp can't hold you. It's really not that hard.

P.S. If I was in a gate camp and saw a stratios warp through un-cloaked, you can bet I would chase it to hell and back, since that player is obviously clueless.

This game is the constant threat of PvP, in one form or another. If you really do want to enjoy this game, you'll embrace that.

Quitting EVE because someone pops one of your ships is like quitting chess because your opponent takes your bishop.

How did you die in a covert ops ship in 0.4? oh wait. Next time learn what the ship is and does before flying it mate. You died because quite simply - you was doing it wrong.

All my views are my own - never be afraid to post with your main, unless you're going to post some dumb shit

TL;DR OP left Eve because it's a PvP game not a PvE game. OP came back, expected CCP to have changed the game just for him and his ilk, liquidated his assets, spunked the lot on a shitfit SoE ship which he promptly lost in lowsec.

Yes there were tears, of the finest salinity.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
