EVE General Discussion

The only rage quit that comes to mind right now, is when I lost a Drake to a level 3 mission because I didn't read up on the triggers for the mission. So I rage quitted over my own stupidity.

Someone spoke on Teamspeak, I haven't logged in for two weeks.

It wasn't anything bad, I just don't like people.

From what you post anyone can tell your stupidity is actually getting worse every time you adapt to the new depth of it. Can we expect you to finally quit anytime soon?

About me, I unsubbed about 3 weeks ago due to ship loss issues. With tens of billions in the wallet, losing a cruisers still hurts too much to be tolerated. And since there will always be lazy stupid no-life people who will over-abuse any killing mechanic no matter what, for reasons too stupid to understand without using some substance which will bring me down to their level, instead of playing for fun, they are just going to kill the fun for everybody and then kill eve.

what is this rage you speak of? Worst case is I get bored then do something stupid and decide to pass out after.

But yeah, for just "ragequit" for like the evening? has never ever come to that, ever. However, I have had to log off to give myself enough time to reassemble my keyboard.

Although I've taken several breaks from the game, I've never ragequitted it. I was about to do it with my first char after losing my first Megathron in my first Level 4... I didn't knew what had gone wrong but I assessed to the best of my knowledge (then) what I didn't liked from the experience and decided to start a different character with another race.

Say, a Khanid female because Teh Cute + Lazorz...

Drunkenly derped a SNI back when I was still mission running.
It gave me a sad that lasted over a day, because it was my fault.
I got better.
Not at the game, mind you, I just sobered up.

I have rage-logged off only twice, both times due to my own stupidity.

1)First time was on my hauling alt. Was transporting a lot of enyos(quite a lot of isk for me back then) for pew in an cargo optimized indy, with no stabs or cloak. Destination was set to my lowsec home system.

I was in a highsec- lowsec border system, and wanted to Dock up and change to something stealthy.

But for whatever reason I was distracted (or not thinking) and just kept following the yellow trail on the overview. I realized this as I am in warp into lowsec, but can't do anything at this point. Besides everything will be fine, what are the odds of the system being camped?

When I land, I have this "Ohhh F^ck moment" when I see all the flashies gatecamping. I keep hoping they leave, but ofc they don't. when i uncloak I barely manage to align before I am in my pod. Was so annoyed by own mistake(I had the stabbed bloacade runner in station and everything) that i logged off for a couple of days.

2) Second time I had bought one of the first jackdaws(80 mill+) and was roaming(fitted for kiting). Was reading up something about missile explosion radius, and forgot to keep an eye on overview.

A neuting algos lands on me, and locks me. completely surprised I panic pushes some buttons, but as I can't pull distance I die with him in hull. After that I also logged off for a day or too, so stupid not to read in station or in a safe position.

When ever I loose my pod(with mid grade pirate implants as i am always space poor), i also usually log of for the evening(but it has nothing to do with rage, I am just very tired all of a sudden and i didn't want that pod anyway :D).

yesterday,

i had logged in and my old corp had joined an alliance, i hadnt even realised what that intailed, i set off to go grab a few skillbooks and think 'i'll take my new shiny navy drake that i totally shouldn't be flying'

so im flying through caldari space and spot a load of flashy reds as im on my adventures, i think to myself

'crazy ass pilots flying round with their safeties off lol, mad heads' 'hahah silly pilots.'

half hour goes by and as im about to approch a gate and theres a cute stratos heading my way, 'hmm' i think to myself, 'what a nice site scanning ship', then suddenly alarms start going nuts and im wondering where the rats are that are obviously targeting me, keep in mind ive never done Pvp, so it turns out that the strats is targeting me and i just flap as the sheilds on my drake slowly peel away. i activate shield boosters, try warping away then remember i can lock back duh, so as im half way through my shields im trying to lock her up, i realise im doomed by now and activate self destruct and eject as theres a big bright boom where my drake used to be, i warp the hell out of there and dock in a nearby system with my head firmly up my butt.

i look at the kill mail and think 'how the hell can this happen in high sec? so i mail her and ask 'why did you blow up my ship?' to which she replies 'were at war your alliance and my alliance, you were a red flashy lol, fly safe o7.' then it starts sinking in, my alliance? oh man all those red flashies where war targets and me a PvE wannabe is at war with marmite after playing for a month and still suffering from noob syndrome. Then i get mad like ultra butt hurt mad and log out like it's going to erase all thats just happened, either that or start looking for a chat channel that gives therapy.

after a while i went on youtube and watched videos of players getting ganked and other stuff to cheer me up and then logged back in and pulled my pilot out of the corp until it's sorted out or whatever, but looking back it was pretty funny and im slowly getting over it.

Many years ago. I've learned wisdom since. If you don't enjoy something, why do it repeatedly with the same bad result?
