By virtue of dealing with and helping new players every day, which is exactly what J'Poll and others do.

J'Poll is right, newbies generally have nothing worth stealing, unless they decide to try and plex their way to success which never ends well. Scamming and ganking are part of the game, if you don't like that aspect of Eve then take precautions to stop it happening to you. If you can't be bothered to take precautions then nobody is forcing you to give CCP money every month.

I would suggest that you check yourself before you wreck yourself, it's apparently too late for that as you've attracted the attention of some people you really didn't want to attract the attention of.

Good luck with that Pirate

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of learning, and even after 6 years, EVE continues to provide me with ample learning opportunities Oops

Example:

My last loss was because I got distracted while warping to Jita 4-4, from the New Caldari gate to the station. I normally cloak my Crane blockade runner and warp to an insta-dock bookmark, but instead I just clicked on warp to the station.

I instantly recognized my mistake, but blockade runners enter warp quickly, and it was already too late to stop the warp.

It meant I would land in optimal range for gankers poised outside the station, and I'd have to slow-boat the last short distance to the docking ring, and I'd be uncloaked by other ships.

One volley from a Tornado is all it took. I made the loss possible.

Lesson: Don't get distracted when travelling in a blockade runner.

EVE is a sand box where you have the right to build sand castles but the guy next to you also has the right to kick down yours or even use it to build his while you bawl at your loss; after that it's a brawl where anything goes unless the nanny moves in. Bear

The majority of the new players aren't screwed over.

You are among a small portion, which by their own personality made themself a target.




But a TL:DR about the OP:


WAAH, ARGH...You all must play in the way I want to play, otherwise you are jerks.



p.s.

Most scammers etc don't even target new players. Why target someone who has NOTHING, when with the same amount of effort, you can target someone who will "transfer" billions from their wallet to yours. quote=J'Pol]


Dude - You sure are full of yourself. How the hell do you know anything about me or any other new player?

And what are you like 10 years old?

Go try your little cry baby act on someone you want to scam -- you might distract them long enough to plug them.





Lol.

I have yet to scam anybody in EVE.


So, rage and whine more...

From my time dealing with newbies (p.s. You are a noob not a newbie) I know many arent even near scams (or are smart enough to spot them and walk away, only stupid and greedy people get scammed).
