Crime & Punishment

Ya know......when I started this toon in 2010 and I was noob noob beyond noob, I finally got my mining Osprey and a Badger. H'geddon was not that old and I had no clue what was up.

So I'm mining away in my Osprey and THIS happened:

Clueless I got my Badger to get the loot and my ore out of my anchored can, and this happened:

I had next to no money and it took me a week at least to mission enough to get a mining Osprey again.

I'm stiill here.

You live and learn as in life.

As you skill up, read, learn from Corp members, read Hulkageddon Kill Mails and all that later, you learn a LOT.

And things do become either manageable or survivable.

And it's really hard to not find something to do in EVE besides mining. If that's all you are doing, you are missing the entire POINT of the game entirely.

So man up, and deal with your loss and play.

I was so mad, I was determined to get back in my Osprey as soon as possible. And I had to mission to do it, again, not mine.

I did not find out what H'geddon was for another few months.

It is YOUR fault you lost your Hulk. And if you can afford that, another one is not far behind IF you work for it. Or do you want to be given things easy ?

If so, this is not the game for you after all.

So harden up or GTFO.

We don't want to hear it.

If everyone did just that, doing something else than mining, then you'd run out of ships to fly pretty fast. So do not tell me that I miss the point of the game entirely.

What happens here is griefing par excellence. And this has nothing to do with htfu. Would you go and beat up a third grader, knock him sensless, knowing, he has no other possiblity to defend himself and then run around in the street yelling htfu?
Why do not all the griefers htfu and choose a real opponent? Like shooting Goons out of their space or something. Oh wait, maybe there the enemies might fight back and the oh-so-hard destroyer pilots might be send home packing...

Why do you think that pressuring your idea of fun onto others is making them having fun too? I totally lack the time to do more than a couple hours of recreation in front of the PC a week. I like to spend those mining. I wonder who is the carebear here?
Those who know they can grief with absolutely no risk or those who put weeks of gameplay on the line?

So go someplace else with your htfu... As stated before Risk/Reward/Punishment is blown totally out of proportion here.

Well aren't you cute.. How many languages do you speak perfectly?

Picking on someone whos first language is not english is kinda lame.

But let me guess, you are just "hardening me up", aren't you?

I find Hulkageddon a great experience for me as a player. Just because I can't fly my retriever does not mean I can't play the game. Understanding how Hulkageddon affects the market leads to profit if you know how to read the graphs. I also mine but not with my retriever.

Most important, you learn. A chance encounter with a player (I won't mention his name but he knows who he is) helped me understand how to build a better tank that will benefit me when I start getting serious about mission running. I also got a better understanding on what skills help with what kind of damage resistance on both shield and armor.

Ragequitting not only makes you look like a baby, it also means you lost the opportunity to learn from and experience this great game

RR

You are indeed slow.

Mining PLUS other things, not either exclusively. I don't know where you got the idea I said don't mine at all. you put words in my fingers and I don't like that at all.

And if we run out of those ships (which will absolutely never happen), that would be their problem then wouldn't it?

I don't even dare confront the rest of your post. All this for the first two sentences. We'd be here all night.

Yes folks, a CareBear is laying into a CareBear !

If it did not take so long to get back on the feet, then maybe "ragequitting" would not be the option. As I usually have not more than 3-4 hours a week, we are talking about quite some time getting back into the ship.

That being said, after that time, I can have 3 guys in ships, that are earned in like 30 minutes blowing me up again.
As I said, maybe I am a wuss, maybe I look like a baby. Maybe I just want to take my hard earned cash somewhere else for recreation. Geez. Same as I said before. Can't you imagine, that pressuring your idea of fun and entertainment onto someone else does not mean fun and entertainment for them?

We've ALL been there. This is NOTHING new. It's been this way for 9 YEARS going.

It's something you have to think your way through.

And after May 29...................do whatever.

This is a valid point actually. It should be 1 toon per account. Grow a pair, don't hide behind recyclable alts.

Oh, and OP, Eve really isn't the game for you.

Seriusly, I dont want to look harsh of something like that, but everybody knows and you knew before you sing up that EVE is a hardcore game. People plays eve because they can **** other people, PvP and there is no secure area. I mean High sec is highly situational...
To sum up part of the EvE sucess as a game is because of it's ruthless nature, other way people would be playing softcore mmo's like WoW and etc.

What are you doing losing ships in nullsec then complaining about losing an imaginary w/e it is you lost?
