Having the top post on a page makes others look up to you.

Literally.

If others destroy your ship in an unfair manner like ten players vs you, you can shame them in local or other chat channels. Once you do that, everyone will look down to these players since they are cowards who cannot fight 1 vs 1.

- The guy at Jita saying he will double your ISK is totally legit and not trying to scam you
- Always warp to gates and station at 0, because tacs are a waste of time
- Hauling plex between Jita and Amarr is always a good idea
- Leaving plex in your mining barge while you mine so you don't lose it is also a great idea
- That person saying he will move all of your crap for free if you use 0 collateral is totally your friend
- You should always warp to 0 to the sun when you lose your ship

The Null Sec minority really matters, fear them and never challenge them.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Do not bother flying a freighter unless you can fill it with at least 20 billion worth of cargo. Recommended value: 50b+

There's a good example here: https://zkillboard.com/kill/46242566/

Also if you want to be a real pro - always announce your cargo value in local. In fact - post it on the forums with exact location and time of undock details. That way people will be able to protect you from the new menace: the drifters.

Papier profits are everything - never sell an asset that has gone considerably up in price, it can go even higher!

...And they all crave one thing - ISK. ¤

When carrying PLEX, always name your Badger "50 PLEX Courier". People will leave you alone because they know how bad they would feel to lose that much investment.

Also when going to PVP, name your ship "Bad Guy." People will be too terrified to engage you...

Always complain in the forums for anything you don't like, calling out to a DEV or ISD to help you.

If you have an issue with forum moderation, or an ISD in particular, complain about it / them by creating a thread. Be sure to use capitals, along with a liberal sprinkling of profanity and personal attacks. You can bypass the profanity filter by swapping out a letter for a similarly shaped number.

Once your thread is created, maximize your exposure by recreating it multiple times.

Using smartbombs in your mission pocket in highsec i completely safe.

Flying a bigger ship asap is efficient enough without support skills.

Highsec is safe because Concord will protect you.

There are legit ISK doubling services in Jita.

You cannot survive lowsec alone.

There are pre-set proper ways of playing this game, you need to comply with those.

In this thread, we give each other bad advice.

New to Eve? Take notes, this won't come in handy! Seasoned vet? Pay attention, you just might not learn something!

I'll start:

Prior to warp, fire those afterburners. You'll go faster!



Dear sir,

If you use an afterburner prior warp this indeed speeds up travel time and you'll go faster in time between gate to gate provided your align time is longer than the AB cycle (such as Battleships)

As initiator of this thread Oops

Well obvious is obvious:

Go to the forums for competent threads

PS: Please do not take this serious Lol, i am a bad forum troll
