EVE New Citizens Q&A

1. Are newbies what most of you vets seem to agree on, as in they cry, wine, rage, quit when they get killed I would have thought that the majority of new players would come in with more or less the same mindset that I came into this game with. And that is with some exceptions aside, most professions will entail a high probability of dying, and the severity of your death and the number of deaths depends on your prudence and adaptability. I can understand getting killed your first time. But if you are getting killed the same way for the 13th time, crying or wining isn't going to fix your dying problem

2. Are BOTs rampant (you know the ones that work for sites that sell ISK for $) or has CCP dealt with the problem? I ask cause among my growing activities in-game is BOT reporting. Those bot miners are detrimental to real miners especially in the eyes of PvPers who seem to have a tendency to generalize lumping honest miners with BOTs. But if the problem has been more or less dealt with that's one less thing to focus on

1. Newbies are New players. No matter how they act or behave. The only grey area is where people stop being a newbie.

2. CCP tackles bots as best as they can. If you suspect "someone" is a bot, report them. Though I personally wouldnt waste my gametime hunting bots to report them. I play EVE for fun, not to play space police.

1. I think we have a classic sense of New Player interpretation. There is the 'new bro' that has a good attitude and gets bummed when his plans don't work out but adapts. Then there is the 'newbie, noob, insert derogatory statement here.' These are the folks that either want to feel safe while they play EvE or feel that only their opinion and playstyle is valid.
a. 'new bro' - buys a transport ship and makes some money hauling. Finds what looks like an AWESOME deal and has just enough collateral to haul the contract. Exits station, get's suicide ganked by the person that put the contract up. He's bummed because he realized 'it was too good to be true,' learned from it, and quite possibly made friends with the ganker.
b. 'newb' - does the same thing. Rages at the ganker, the forums, and petitions CCP. All of which just continues to fuel the fire. He missed the piont. The content in EvE is generated by those moments. Player cooperation or antagonism is encouraged. You learn that in a game made of excel spreadsheets... the meaningful contact is the other players.

*steps off soap-box*

This is not entirely true, there are places in null where the bears have some semblance of independence and do not bow to any internet gods..

No rent in NPC regions, last time I checked...

You will hear some people who have been playing since day one whine and throw a fit worse than any new player when it comes to losing ships and assets. And as others have said, don't worry about the Bots too much, if you suspect one, report it, but no reason really to go hunting for them. There are much better things to be spending your time doing.
