Very creative and thinking post. Shows so much intellect.

EVE is by far not harsh and totally not PVP environment. EVE is a walk in the park with BLOBS that by mistake or intention somehow called PVP. Just take a good look around. The rest not deserve any comment.




EVE is a PvP environment. And it is not dominated by blobs unless you are doing ns/ls roams or warfare. obviously you got ganked 1v1 to a guy in a frigate because you're a noob and don't know how to properly mine.

All the newb mewling strikes me a funny now that my job title is 'Pirate Scum' and I have just as big of a whine about NOT being able to kill people.
The war dec mechanic is broken. Any corp can shed a war dec with no penalty to them and no gain to the pirates they 'surrendered' to. (yeah- if you surrender, why don't you actually lose anything? And if we 'won' then why don't we benefit?)

The only newbs getting ganked in belts mining are dumb and lazy and sit in market hub belts. I'm a pirate, and let me tell you that Eve is just too big for me to fly to every belt in every high sec system nearby hoping to catch some newb in a Retriever humping roids. But I sure can swing by the belts in a market hub while I'm there anyway.......

I'm not a very good pirate, so my security status still allows me in high sec. But anyone that is dedicated to space crime isn't even going to be able to move in high sec before very long. If a can flipper scares you, best quit Eve now before you run into a truly dangerous pirate.

Can flipping is a newb activity. There is nothing in it for actual players. It's just a newb hoping another newb will be dumb enough to give up a KM for e-peen purposes. I've never heard a gang of actual, adult, dedicated players ever suggest flipping cans on newbs. People will sit around bubble camps and gates for hours on end- and no one says "this is boring, let's go flip cans in newb systems." You'd be laughed back into an NPC corp.

It might all seem dramatic to a newb- but believe me newbs, it all teaches you the game mechanics you need to know. It really isn't that long before you are simply past worrying about such things- or you might even find yourself on the other side, a bad guy yourself....
It's a steep learning curve, but it's fairly brief.

Interestingly you want to see all the Ninja activity going on around the SOE arc.

Plenty of players flauting their epeen in that system, bad mouthing and dueling to see who is top honcho.

Whilst at the same time simply preying on newbs just out of the tutorial missions. Likley an early exposure to realities, but its the way that they claim to be so amazing PvP experts as a result.

Local in Arnon is awash with epeen "smacktalk". Still it's one step up from the banable can flipping activity in the tutorial systems I suppose.

This thread is everything eve isn't, except of course the bits where it is.
