EVE General Discussion

In the Rookie systems rookies are supposed to be protected. Yet there are people baiting and griefing on the systems that connect the starter system, to the career agent system..

Take this guy for example -- http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Alejandrom777

Almost all he does is bait and grief noobs.

Even in Noob systems, he was providing Logi for other members of his corp trying to kill rookies outside the Clellinon gate (against the rules.. nothing seems to happen) just a few days ago.. And his he's got loads of kills in Clellinon over the past few months.

He gets reported all the time, by myself, and others. Nothing seems to happen.


As it stands now he gets himself all flashy yellow, has a noob alt/friend shoot him in a noobship, and target locks the new players as they head towards the gate..

So whats the point of the rules ? Rookies need to leave Noob systems to just get to the Career agent system, not to mention to complete the career agent missions ( belts are mined out in at least Clellinon after just a few hrs.. ) and they are being baited and griefed.


So pick a side. Either Rookies are protected, or the sandbox rules apply and they aren't. Cause what we have now is a half-assed system that does no one any good. They still get baited, griefed, and killed completing rookie missions. Or just heading to the career agent system for the first time.

Honestly I don't care which way it goes, I just want the rules to make sense. Because currently they don.t

inb4 thread hijack oh...

Instead of hiding in his impeneterable fortress of NPC corp and simply standing idley by and watching this happen, OP has decided to take matters into his own hands and form up a corp to combat this scourge and in the process further the EvE community by recuiting the new players he helps and/or giving them friendly advise or actively helping them to avoid this kind of bait.

oh wait.... he kind of went with the complete opposite and posted in GD.

This is the part where you- as a concerned citizen, take matters into your own hands

Can baiting noobs in a noob system is off limits, pretty much everything else goes (including suicide ganking them, etc.).

If they are getting baited next door, then they aren't really just innocently going over a couple of systems to get to a career agent... if they were then they wouldn't be falling for this. No, they are venturing out on their own for the first time... which is great... but they have to learn not to be stupid at some point. Or at least learn to keep their safeties on and pay attention to the warning messages that pop up until the get a handle on what is going on.

At worst it's simply pathetic, but likely not a major issue in the grand scheme of things.

Hmmm, but don't you think that would lead to dense populations of "Super Carebears" in those systems?

Instance NPE.

I just read the title of this thread and thought "that sounds like fun, ill give that a try" . I could not be bothered to read your posts tho.

Fair points.

I do hope some RPers notice your post and form a Space Ranger protective society to hunt down the miscreants. Sounds like a fun job for some new-ish players in cheap frigates.
