10 year player coming back to nothing but ganks and scrubs. I spent billions trying to set up a citadel. Long hours gathering and consolidating my assets only to have pieces of **** destroy all what you've worked for. I know the risk, but obviously when you can't even haul fuel without getting ganked... well I'm glad to quit once again.

I'm sure I'll get backlash from you all, but this post isn't for you. It's for me and the hopes it reaches someone at CCP. Your game has gone to the wayside. I'm so glad I sold my old toon for $1000 on eBay. Well worth it. At least there are people vested enough in this game to pay that.

Cheers all... and fly safe.

This post contains enough salt to last us for years to come. That will be your legacy, and I thank you for it. Roll


You should have chosen your construction site more carefully. This loss is your own fault- no one else's. Loss is a necessary part of a persistent universe. You should know this if you're such an old time player, which I highly doubt.


Carelessness means death, 10/10, game is working as intended. Wayside my ass.

Nah. It's the people who play this game. It's a gank fest of scrubs. Not the game I want to play. Not my fault YOU the people who make up the game are scrubs. But hey... tell yourself what you want to make you feel better about my opinion.

I always find it adorable in any game when someone loses because of their own incompetence and blunder and resorts to shouting names at the people who defeated them as their only recourse. This failure of a player should stand as an example to actual players; Be careful when planning to undock with billions of ISK in assets. Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure your course is clear and your construction site is at least modestly safe or better yet protected by your alliance.

And now to address the abject lesson in the room's latest attempt at insults...

Every loss is our own fault. No one else's.

Hope you find a game that holds your hand enough to keep you happy.

Sorry to hear about your game experience.

I agree, this game isn't like it was back 8+ years ago which is why I rarely log in now.

Accept that there are counter arguments in the scenario you have presented and there are different styles of play that can avoid being ganked. If you couldnt be bothered to haul you could of contracted it too someone who is bothered for a surprisingly small fee. You could have made your loads smaller or used a cov ops hauler for a better chance at survival.

A ganker could turn a small profit from your loot at a small loss to themselves thats all that really happened here. I think you were hasty in selling your toon and that you could have talked to a few more people before building the citadel.

On your way out, can the person who bought your character give ISK and stuff to poster below me?

I love it when they crash and burn and it's everybody's fault but theirs. Yes, I've been engulfed in fiery anger and even quit (30 hrs!) once but the thing is for every loss there was a reason, something done or not done, focused one way when I should've been paying attention another way and something I should do the next time.

This place kind of reminds of the time so many years ago when I was a dirt track racer. You took your licks, give'em back and there was always next Saturday night. Although I ran up front most of the time I never won a race, just like here in Eve I've few kills amongst multiple characters/accounts. I'm not going to say I love it, but I'm going on year four and I'll probably be around for a while yet. I'm hard core space opera, and this is like living the life.

This is a very good idea.

I've always thought that EVE should graduate the risk levels out more broadly, to accommodate more playstyles.

Stuff like citadels, needs a low risk option and then graduate out to higher risk, because people love building houses in virtual games. As it is now though citadels are later game content, not for new players, even though they are a perfect piece of content for attracting new players.

Yeah Eve sucks. If you don't want to sell yourself out to some fascist alliance your pretty much out of luck with this game.

Eve is a game for the weak minded who prefer monotonous activity with someone telling them what to do.

This game is not for people with a will of their own.

I am confused. I was told Australians did not want fast internet?

Guess I missed that memo!

I've been playing the game for myself with occasional cooperation with real world friends for years without selling my soul out to fascists. Where do I need to go to get this apparently mandatory fascism in order to keep playing?

I've always respected your knowledge, helpfulness and positive attitude on the forums.

In what way do you feel the game is different now?

PS- I had nothing to add to the topic, just lurking.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Honestly, Citadels aren't really all they're cracked up to be at the moment.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
