Let me tell you a story.

I'd been playing for about a year, and had been convinced to move everything I own up to null sec by my alliance. I happily obliged and contracted them all my stuff. It got moved, I trusted them, and thankfully wasn't being scammed. Unfortunately our peaceful time was short lived and White Noise moved in and hell camped our stations for weeks. The alliance I was in died in a fire and everything was falling apart. This was just before PL ploughed through (what was then called) Northern Coalition space and killed everything with a gigantic pre-nerf Titan fleet..

So, I left that space. I managed to put everything I owned in the whole Eve universe into a Crane and got out of system. I did everything right, with a friend scouting for me checking gates. In the last null sec system before I get everything into low sec, my friend scouting tells me there is a small frigate gate camp, but not to worry because there is no bubble and no HIC. So great, I jump through confident that I will be able to cloak before they lock me. But when I get to the other side of the gate, I am sitting 500m from a Dramiel. Game over. I click warp, but I can not cloak. I get locked. I lose everything.

Do you know how I felt? It felt bad. Do you know what I did? I shrugged it off and got over it. Went back to highsec in my pod and started again from a n00b ship. Borrowing a little money here and there from friends.

So, the moral of my story is that you say that you've been playing for 10 years, and imply that perhaps your a vet. But this bitching doesn't seem 'vet' like to me. Until you've got to a point where you could lose everything and carry on fine without bitching and whining, your still just a n00b. Man the **** up.


The right attitude for surviving EVE Online.

Anyone else think the OPs avatar is hysterical?

It's like he has a pea-sized head (and matching brain)

Excuse me?

Just why is it a problem if CCP employees want to act and look like me?

Oh, except I added the change in brackets...

Someone I know got a tengu reimbursed with a screenshot after it got stuck in a collidible, the first GM turned them down but they escalated it and got reimbursed. You need to keep on pressing and see where it goes, though after this post, it's probably not worth it now.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

CCP respect the right of our players to privacy and as such you are not permitted to publicize private correspondence (including petition responses and emails) received from any of the aforementioned parties.

30. Abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers is prohibited.

CCP operate a zero tolerance policy on abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers. This includes but is not limited to personal attacks, trolling, “outing” of CCP employee or ISD volunteer player identities, and the use of any former player identities when referring to the aforementioned parties.
