I was playing Worlds Collide in Gallente Space, and a stupid salvage theif starts stealing all of my wrecks.

Didn't mean to shoot at him, just locked him (you know, to scare him) but accidentally ended up firing at him. Whoops. Overview is tricky sometimes with a slow internet. LOL

Police blew up my Raven, and the theif took all of my fittings. I saved and mined in my Osprey for weeks to buy it, especialy the cruise missile launchers and shields. What? I'm mad about the theif, but that isn't the worst part.

The worst part, is I paid like 20M for insurance - but I never got ANYTHING back???? So I'm starting over from scratch. Cry I petitioned, but apparently that is how it is supposed to work now, which doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, stupid mistake, but why am I punished so harshly for it when I got tricked by a salvager? And why offer insurance at all, if it doesn't pay???

Now I have to mine for weeks again to get a new Raven. This really sucks, and its probably not worth it. I'd give away my stuff, but I don't have anything to give. I literally have 2 Million left. I hope CCP fixes this soon.

"Accidentally shooting" people now has consequences, deal with it.

Hahaha. Fitting.

CCP tries to nerf suicide ganking, but instead delivers a wrecking shot to nooblet Carebears running missions. -1 Sub for that guy I guess. Tough when you lose it all to a misclick, especially with a laggy overview.

Gankers win again, because CCP is incompetent. Lol

what did they won ?

We all lose the only resource we have, time. If you having fun in that time i guess it can be considered as winning. If you dont, you did not lose you just have to take an break.

Don't you get the right to shoot if the thief steals your loot?

Send me a msg ingame and I'll hand you some ISK to start over.

Your "mis click" should have popped up the "you are about to be naughty and will get punished" warning, why did you ignore that? Or did you turn that handy feature off? And if so, why? Can you then blame CCP for ignoring the safeguards put in place?

It's like taking out insurance on your car and then totaling it on the race track. Insurance will not pay out as you were using it outside the rules.

Tough, but working as intended.

Or, semi-good troll.

EDIT: If you are really down and out, contact me in-game and we can work something out to help you get up and going again.
EDIT2 : Seem it's a troll. Offer for help invalidated. P

You, Sir, are a filthy criminal. You tried to murder a poor man just for taking some scrap metal out of a wreck! So you were punished by the police which is in the best interest of us law-abiding citizens.

It only makes sense that insurance companies don't spend our premiums to recompensate criminals, doesn't it?

I laughed, thanks for the story bro. If you only have 2m Your playing the game wrong. Eve is a game that making isk is so easy, when people compain about having none, what they mean is, "im too lazy to go earn some" or "Im too stupid to earn alot". Isk is easy to come by.

FYI 2m is enough for a Merlin, go run L1s and start back up the ladder.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.

Sensing someone trying to get CCP to undo the insurance change. Must be an alt of someone who likes to suicide.

I'm a softy so I almost fell for it.

Then it occured to me, if he was flipping your wrecks, how did you get concorded? You should have had kill rights on him.

He wasn't stealing, he was salvaging. This is perfectly legal within the game mechanics, whereas you shooting him was a criminal act. The fact that you 'THINK' he is a thief is irrelevant.

Salvaging wrecks doesn't cause aggression. That being said, you ALWAYS get a warning when about to get CONCORDed. I always found it annoying when suicide ganking... or maybe you could turn it off and I just never did.
