well maybe someone do something with this. today in few amarr rookie systems located wormholes and guess what. several pilots were entering w-space there as i did enter in next 15 minutes being cloaked inside so far 9 magnates and herons did enter the hole , two warped at sun others left wormhole while later i decloaked and local went active , some newbies got stuck they tried scan down the way back and was watching them on sun i came there and fleet warped them to entrance one was ok other guy instead of simple thank you deployed 3 drones to attack me

so theres my simple question .
can be wormhole spawns excluded from spwning in rookie systems or create some rookie wormholes so they could learn the wormhole basics since in game theres no any wormhole tutorials atleast even basic stuff, i am tired of rescuing stranded pilots but its still fun.

So they are newbies pure breed.
They have pretty much value for people in need of pets.
Sell them all.

i came to one wormhole with devoter and bubbled it, guess how many newbies got caught (but not killed)
18 in hour. that could be potential 18 kills , mainly frigates but there was one stratios and one vexor one zealot tried his powers but neutted his ass and he runned like rabbit

so ccp please either exclude wh spawns from rookie systems or somehow do a wormhole tutorial for career agents and some wormhole training site like other traiing sites. . let new plaers learn wormholes not so hard way.

what is the game? fkn hand holding online?
jesus CRIST WHs have become soft if you want to coddle newbies this much... no wonder you all want fkn clone swapping and zero effort scanning.

PS: if you kill a total rookie, just send him some isk to cover his loss if you feel bad about it. I do this all the time, it's not like you can't afford a few mil...

I feel dirty doing it, but I agree with this. There has been several times I've been in a Wormhole that has a rookie system as it's static. Kill them and ask questions later...
Convo them after, explain what happened, give 'em some ISK. If they don't accept or get ****** with you or abusive, Eve obviously isn't the place for them...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Rookie wormholes?!?!?! Thats a terrible idea! The point of whs is that they are hard, really hard (if your a newb).

The fact that WSpace is taught to people by others that live there is what makes them great. And lets be honest, a new player to EVE has so much more to figure out about EVE before they start trying to learn what a WH is and how they work.

I moved into a wormhole before I even finished the training missions. I had to go back out to finish the exploration mission to learn how to scan.

To be fair, there is a big warning before a newbie jumps into wspace that says they will not have CONCORD protection after they jump in. If they choose to ignore this warning and go in anyway, I consider them fair game. If I pod an actual newbie out I usually congratulate them on their courage, give them a couple million ISK to help them get started, and wish them luck in their adventures. I don't think "rookie wormholes" are a good idea because it takes a certain sort of person to jump through a wormhole at all, and I think making them safer would detract from the sort of endearing but often suicidal courage these newbies (who may one day become members of the wormhole community themselves) display.

I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way.
