EVE General Discussion

I was being serious. I actually hate the whole 'delicious tears' **** that's so popular in EVE -- think it's stupid and childish. But this guy was literally so incredibly furious he had to have been tearing up in rage. Also must've broken his keyboard because he started repeating letters throughout his rage fest.

When making claims of epic rage tears, it is incumbent upon the claimant to post logs, or links to logs.

Everyone's tear palate is different, and I'm sure you've encountered some in your time you've found particularly delicious. For a lot of people, the most delicious tears are when they come from someone who gets what they deserved. Nothing wrong with enjoying that.

I'll admit, I raged the first time I got non-consensual killed. I asked the guy whether his mother had given him enough affection as a child. That didn't bother him much. Then I said he'd be hearing from my (nonexistent) Russian merc friends. That seemed to take a little of the gloat out of him, made him a little nervous. It was a low point in my noob career, but still somewhat enjoyable.

Aye but there is no certain path. It's also one less carebear whiner who gets recruited by a nullsec alliance getting sold on carebearing opportunities safely past the gank pipelines and intel channels. They too will whine whenever CCP tries new content to increase nullsec conflict potential or take some of the easy mode aspects out of nullsec that have gone on too long.

We'll never know. But in the end, that kind of aspietard as the noob encountered is probably of no use to any playstyle and this game as a whole. People who just don't listen and go into tantrums like that are more trouble than they are worth.


The first time I got killt in lowsec was when I brought two noobs with me. They were on the verge of a ragequit after being ganked in the same system. So I told them "that's not the right spirit for this game" and talked them into getting in cruisers and joining me to attack the very people who ganked them.

We didn't win but a good time was had by all. One of the noobs even started communicating with one of the "pirates" and got ISK along with some advice on PVP and went into PVP playing styles after that.

I think that the "harshness" of Eve has gotten to some of the posters in this thread. All the "good, he quit, better he did it now than later" comments are incredibly ignorant and short sighted. A sub is a sub, regardless of who pays it. My money smells the same as the next guys.

Given as how Tranq has AT BEST 50k "active" players, you better bet your sweet little ass this place needs moar subs (when factoring in how big the game world is, how much is hi sec etc etc). Of course, in order to better attract new subs, CCP would have to actually do something to attract them in the first place.

Whether they stay after that, sadly, is mostly up to them AND also to us, if you don't like/can't accept this fact, then tough.

In fact, if experienced players continue shrugging off whatever new players moan or rage about, then it is inevitable that this community will get bitterer and smaller and wont that be just GREAT for this game.

As the quote goes "Some people you just can't reach". So I wonder if the ragequitting noob was reachable or not, or even later?


We all know that the NPE is lacking in a few things, though much improved than when I started in 2006. But we also know that a lot of players depend heavily on other players simply not knowing all the facts and they resist measures to improve the NPE.

So the question is, would it matter at all with some of these worst-case noobs who, no matter how much they are warned, will still go ballistic when they get shipraeped?

There are divided camps on that. There are a lot of "quick gratification" types who will gleefully X out every dialog box or click OK just to get rid of it without reading it because it's getting in the way of... well their gratification or something. I don't know why people charge in so mindlessly in a game it's like they want to min-max from moment-1 and get to the farming in an instant. I get the sense that players like this are not playing a game at all, hence the rage over a "game".


So who knows if a service was done or not. I have been in RL situations where some people who "should not have been retained" were retained or taken on as clients and down the road they made my life difficult when they should have been told on day one "this is not for you". Imagine someone being "gank free" until their first fleet and then the fleet gets ROFLstomped. Now you have the tantrum instead of on day one, and now you have someone who will not only ragequit, but maybe even in the process of that cause an FC to give up being an FC and just go back to running missions in highsec to "escape all the drama".

By now you should have been in his corp long enough to be on the cyno chain for his carrier.
Hue huehue.
Oh my, yes, indeed.

annnnnnd you're ganking him right .... now

The Code doesn't control everything. Just miners.
