Once again minding my own business rep grind and kill rats in an 0.8 system when once again some pk'r ( think having a high bounty isk don't mean your a total badass or have a huge e-pen) in a t2 ship decides that he's bored and will blow up some lower lvl player for the fun of it.

CCP you are loosing so many new players to this it's not even funny any more. I don't think you guys relize how bad it is out there for new player getting gate jumped, mission hunted down etc in your so called safe systems.
I should be able to fly around safely to your 0.5 system without getting f**ked over by a flagged player unless i FLAG ASWELL. this will protect players learning the ropes of eves gameplay. If you have a botting account don't ban them, force flag them, give the new players something to pvb at.

Fix the bloody wanted/bounty system, it's worse that a joke and everyone in eve knows it.












For those forum trolls and code c***s i'm not a carebear. i do enjoy pvp but i also enjoy pve and mining, but prefered gameplay without the getting reaming in the arse by some bored flagged player since he dosen't have the balls pvp in low sec cause it may shoot back make him loose his ship.

this thread will probably be moved to c&p, which will be awesome when it does.

that being said, there is no safe place for you anywhere in game except docked in a station. which is my suggestion for a pleasant gaming experience if you are risk averse.

dont fly what you cant afford to lose.....and always always expect to lose it.

EDIT: oh yeah, happy valentines day!

It sounds like someone isn't completely clear on what type of game this is. I would suggest you take a look at the New Player FAQ (http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/communityassets/pdf/EVE-Online-New-Pilot-FAQ.pdf) paying particular attention to sections 5 and 7.

Best of luck in this thread though - you are going to need it.

Wait I'm really confused here...

So the OP is mad because a flagged player showed up near him and when he shot said flagged person he lost?

How about you just ignore them instead of shooting them?

Where is your proof that they are loosing new players other than just speculating on what you think is going on?

Also crimewatch is way better now than what it was in the past. CCP improved it quite well.

I'd move this to C&P BUT OP is in an npc corp. So, no can do. I'll just close it instead.
