Yeah, the place has an edgy fear permeating it that I fell in love with.
The risk of loss ,hell even the thought of it adds a lot to the game experience in my mind.
No other game has ever made me nervous but eve still does so regularly, thers weight and consequence to actions here.

The truth has been laid out for this guy time and time again; he refuses to see it. Even when confronted with hard data by CCP he still turns a blind eye.

And people dare call us trolls.

You've been given the exact reason(s) gankers gank. Read them and accept them then adapt or die, or leave. It is really easy to get me to either fail against you or pass you right by. Really easy.

If you think you've won, think again.

It is just a misunderstanding of how combat in New Eden takes form.

When you undock a steath ship, when you walk around a rogue, thief, spy or whatever in other MMOs, what you do ?
You go sneaky, you cheap shot, you stab in the back.

When you undock a massive BS tech II for infanty, or a Warrior, Fighter, Marine, or whatever in other MMOs, what you do ?
You go head on full frontal on combat.

You gotta play your strenghts. non-armed pilots are as able to fight their way as combat fighters, you just have to learn that:
"You have no guns, so dont give your face to be shot on."

The warrior pilots will come with honor, courage and ofensive talking, that is their counter to non-combat pilots, and that the only weapon they have to draw you to face them in THEIR strenghts. Most people fall for it, and die for it.

There was a scene in the tv show "12 Monkeys" when Remy is in Jail abroad and a big hulking guy who doesnt speak english shows up to beat and kill him.

The dialog goes like this:
The big guy: "Do you think I have forgotten you ? Did you think you could have peace ? Little man, I am your master. "
Remy stands up and goes to the center of the yard, until then never spoke to the crowd. Then he talks fluently in local language.
Remy "For years I have endured this man. Never once revealing that he works for the guards. He is a snitch who has undermined you. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
Remy goes to the big guy and whispers closely in english when he knows the guy actually understands:
Remy: "I killed you, without lifting a finger."

People often complain about CCP oblivious to the fact that CCP gives all the tools needed for you to combat in any aspect of the universe, true to the idea of sandbox and player driven content. Average people just dont know another way of fighting that is not shooting in the face.

Dear EVE,

I have just started eve a few days ago, caught on quickly, love this game.
Am on 30 day trial and doing tutorials on windows 10, fast quick no problems, as with all my games.

Today only playing a few days, close to the end of my tutorial i came across a problem i was warned about, code extortion.

I am in .8 space, academy, Clellinon, local chat: Codebandit to Cusin Boneless "10 mill to mine", "prmise i wont pew ya"....

Well, got to more reading on the forums, alas i am now very disappointed in the community of eve.
Other games have pvp/pve, BUT they have consentual and/or areas where new player will have to go eventually for open pvp.

Open PVP is ok, BUT to extort new players in or near new player schools, when others like me on trial see this, guess what, i will not be subscribing, dang it.

BTW, i have a screenshot of the hud and conversation window.

Thank you all, and good luck.



This is how EVE works. If you cannot adjust to this or accept this condition then EVE is not the game for you as you will only get frustrated and angry.
