Hello,

Gonna make this short, new players, do not subscribe to this game for the ubers will **** you and the asteroid fields, giving u no chance to play.

Harrassment by players putting bounties on you for no reason is no way to welcome new players who have a hard enough time learning the game.

Like all games, EVE is too old with too many grumps having free time to screw other players.

I have uninstalled the game, and will follow up with a detailed explanation of why this skinners bag is too full.
That will be on my forums.

GL you old ubers, there will be no new blood for this game if i can help it.

Why don't you tell us what happened and ask for help in handling these situations?

Did you acquire enough stuff for me to ask if I can have it?

I appreciate you not linking "your forums", saving me the trouble of ignoring the link.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

show me on the doll where the ganker touched you

(EDIT: HTFU. It's good you quit now. If this kind of minor stuff drives you to unsubscribe and then whine about it on the forums, you would have HATED Eve.)

The player harassing you wasn't named James by any chance ?

Beware you will get a lot of **** here, however I do take a different view and players who are new to eve shouldn't be subjected to this crap.

Your criticisms of the game aside, this is a really stupid place to reach the audience you're trying to reach.

Go post this somewhere where prospective players might actually see it. Then they'll come here and activate the trial, having determined from your post that you are a whiny *****.

Im sorry to hear that your experience with game has been disappointing.
However it is a real shame that EvE, which is probably the least competitive environment I can think of, was the one to make you quit gaming.

Come come come play the game
This is your life - don't play hard to get
It's a free world all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game

It's a PVP game. Clicking "undock" is consenting to someone else being able to ruin your day. New players already have more then enough safeguards in place to make things easy for them to at least get a basic grasp of how the universe works. Also, as a new player - there's nothing you own of enough value to even worry about losing. If that's not the case, then perhaps we should focus on brand new accounts flying blinged out Navy ships with faction mods? :P

Bounties are, for the most part, inconsequential.

In fact many players put them on themselves for amusement or to look 'cool' somehow.

Don't let it worry you mate. Smile

Having said that however, if such a thing has irked you enough to leave then maybe EVE is simply not the kind of game for you. It gets much tougher and rougher than a bounty Blink

This is incorrect.

By the way, did you report these supposed “harassments”?

So because you didn't like the game, you're going to (fail to) ruin it. You really are a pathetic little twit aren't you? Good riddance.

This. Fast heads up, OP - a bounty on your head only pays out a fraction of itself to the people that destroy you, and that amount is based off the value of the ship you are in at the time. No one cares or even worries about bounties, they are a mostly meaningless system. :)

No no its not consenting, consenting is invitation to duel. As opposed to a character with many millions of skill points facing a nhew player with say 500k SP max. Sorry but eve is ****** up in that respect. Other MMOs have a levelling mechanic so that the new player has at least an equal footing to the older character/player.

pretty much.

it's like putting a killright on someone below -5 sec status.

i laught everytime someone does one or the other (i like the combo of both, ultimately when it comes with a mail telling how it will ruin my game etc..... because i'm a very BAD person).

of course i'm, i'm a PIRATE, not here to be kind.....

Bounties are not harassment.

I have a pretty big one by newbie standards, and it just doesn't matter.

Not entirely pointless. The -6 I grabbed on a gate camp in low sec the other day had a free killright on him that I could activate, which meant the gate guns wouldn't shoot me. He died, I laughed, and we all went our merry way.

EDIT: And yes, I've only just realised why I never needed to activate them at all. You're right. Go ahead, rub it in Lol

Actually, it is consenting. It's a free-for-all open PvP environment and if you undock into it, you have to accept the fact that you can be shot at for any reason at any time. You may not “consent” to in the sense of “wanting it to happen” but rather in the sense of “accepting that it can (and will) happen”.

As for other MMOs, what they have is level restrictions that simply disallow interactions if the players are on unequal footing. They most certainly don't have any mechanics that equalise old and new players — they just separate them. EVE solves that problem by not having much in the way of unequal footing to begin with and by making sure that any inequality is actually fairly trivial to work around or outright reverse. Being an older player in EVE isn't nearly the same advantage as in those other poorly-designed games.

Do something other than mining and you won't get ganked. Something about eve makes people instantly gravitate towards mining.

I'm aware of no MMOs that have mechanics that place a lower level character on equal footing with a higher level character, since the point of level is to quickly illustrate the differences in power.

Also, you can be at 50m skillpoints and your retriever or hulk will still get ganked.
