Crime & Punishment

You are not wrong.

Eve is full fof asshats and morons.

It also have thousand sof players doing the 'day to day' stuff like mining and missions and sell cheap stuff.

You my friend have had the unfortunate pleasure of the company of some of the more underhanded players. Now if you think on what you would like ot do more of in EVE then go and speak to players who that you will find that EVE does in fact have huge potential for whatever game play you desire.

Just as you accuse people of forcing 'thier' gameplay onto you you are complaining that you can't force people to do what you think they should i.e. leave you alone.

EVE is a free world so to spoke. Guess what? you get asshats and douches in all free worlds. Just look at our own little earth and tell me the majority of people aren't asshats or douches.

YOU have to find YOUR way in eve. Not be handed it on a silver platter.

The harder you try to understand.... the worse it will be.

This have been said many times in eve, to both young and older characters that prefer to just do stuff in high sec.

What you forgot about what you said, is that thoes mechanics don't only go against you, it goes for everyone.

If you're flying a freighter and you're scared of people catching you on a gate, use your scouts with webs on it, you can make your freighter almost insta warp out of there.

Besides saying it takes half a year to fly a marauder properly, would be and understatement, last time i check i got 12M SP in gunnery skills, and i wouldn't put my ass in a marauder yet.

It takes time to train stuff in eve, and that's the beauty of it tbh. Stuff takes time in eve, if you don't like that, maybe you should fly another game. Eve isn't for everyone.

I'd like to state that the reason that people dec corps where it's one sided is just a flaw in your corp. As someone else said, you can choose to not fight during that period. Your barge got blown up in a war? well were you watching local actively or were you afk mining?

Being in a corp in eve is really the fun part, doing stuff with other players. Get out of the NPC corp and get started in eve man, AFK mining and running missions 24/7 for isk is plain out boring.

Blah blah. In essence, you don't like the people who make life miserable for you and complain about the nature of the game.

Let's face it, Eve, like any game, gets boring after a bit, and since people don't want to go to another game, they start to look for new ways to entertain themselves. The nature of the game invites a certain subset of society that likes to gank/interfere/annoy--typically actions that would get them banned from less forward-thinking MMOs--and that's who shows up. Not everyone, just a good portion.

Ignore them, or factor in their interference in your profit margins, or allow it to bother you. Your choice.

Enjoy the choice!

(P.S.) Choosing to complain in C&P is probably not a good choice.

Every good story needs a villain, and any good villain needs to be able to hit his victims where it hurts. The great thing about EVE is that it gives the villains tools that they can use to impose themselves on other players.

Yes, it may suck that you lost your marauder, you may rage about it, but I think if you reflect on the experience honestly, you will realize that the EVE universe is richer and more interesting because these kinds of things can happen.

Also, there have been a lot of these threads with pretty much the same message. If you want your thread to stand out, tell us a good story. What actually happened to fill your little heart with such hatred? Links to kill mails, chat logs, etc are also appreciated.

I think the problem here is people see an ad for EVE and think oh, a spaceship mmorpg. They see the fact that there is pvp and looting but having played the current brand of mmorpgs they think pvp is consensual or in a special zone. When they get in and play a little they may think oh hi-sec is really safe, and lo-sec not so safe and i will stay away from null cause that is where all the bad guys lurk. They figure it being sandbox means they can play the game exactly the way they want to, which they can. However, there are many other people in this game and they all can plaay the game they want to. Some of them want to kill your ship, loot it, kill your pod and do horrbile things to your corpse. Since it is sandbox, they can. There are consequences to all gameplay choices. If you choose to be a miner and do some afk mining you might come back to see you expensive exhumer burning in space and someone in local chat laughing about it. They will have lost their frigate(s) but the cost comparison is in their favor.
If you like playing consensual pvp or arena pvp you might not like the pvp here. If you like safe little games where you follow a set path, you might not like it here. I mine and mission, but I do so with the acknowledgement that these waters are SHARK - INFESTED. There be danger here. Also I know that if my ship is taken it is usually because I did something wrong as much as they did something right. I own up to it. I don't rant and rave here - cause the the posters here, for the most part, drink those tears and enjoy them. Your little rage post just made their day. for those of you who are new and reading this... and I do advise new players to read C&P to get an idea fo what goes on, pay attention. Bad people lurk here, which is why EVE is sucha good game.

Nailed it. This is Eve, sooner or later an explosion happens.

I came here to sing "NO ONE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES". Thank you for doing this, before me.

It will take some time to learn how to defend yourself in EVE. Some people will never learn and either spend their time in highsec or quit playing.

But if you manage to learn even the basics, trust me, EVE will become MUCH more enjoyable
