EVE General Discussion

So

I started EvE Online a few months back. I was told by a friend who lives in deep null that it was an awsum game and since we both quit WoW when cata came out i thought hell ill try it

So...

Every corp i have joined has been war decced within 2-3 days of me joining it. What im told are griefer corps

I wanted to be a miner - why can i not play how i want to?

I am being forced into war and pvp

Im done

CCP your game is a pile of **** and ill be publicly slamming it on every website i am a member of

Pathetic

you are correct.

That is the reason why so many people like it..

And to be honest.. Mining .. as an active action is not really good.. Its terrible in fact.

You keep spamming how it's a game that doesn't protect people from themselves, how it's everyone vs everyone, and you have to be on your toes all the time, and you'll be a big walking advertisement to the people who are going to "get" EVE when they give it a try

So keep at it! :)

I do that all the time, regardless of how I may or may not be feeling about it at that moment.

Matter of oppinion...

...but yeah, even we miners are complaining that it needs some kind of overhaul .


@Lady Vella
Sorry to hear that you had so many problems. Sounds like incredible bad luck.

The sad thing is, that those "griefings" (in fact, it isn't griefing by definition of the developers) are a big part of the game. The good thing is, that this is a sandbox and you can find many ways to avoid those "griefings". For a new player this might not be obvious. Planning and trying to avoid this and lower your risk is something that many people like me actually enjoy. It makes the game interesting to play and you are actually feeling that there are other players who have an impact on you and others.
Of course this isn't something that everybody likes. Either find your place in the sandbox and give some thought to it or realise that the game might not be the right thing for you. Or the right thing to just relax after a hard day of work...

You know when you spend a lot of time at the cinema watching films and them some one tells you "the books way more awesome"

So you decide to give it a go, you head out to the book store, pick up a copy, get home and then ***** about all the reading that's involved?

That's basically what you're doing here.

If it's wardecs you're worried about the solution is quite simple:
1) NPC corp that cannot be wardecced
2) a respectable corp that wont be wardecced because they're too much of a threat
3) grow some balls and fight back



You can.
And so can everyone else, that's the whole point.

Eve is a sandbox, unlike wow.
CCP may not be perfect and they've made some pretty nasty mistakes, some of which are still fresh, but Eve as a whole is not one of them. You're the one with the problem, not CCP.

OP: You know those "griefer" corps you talk about? They post each and every kill they make on their killboard to show off the size of their e-peen. Why are you not listed on any as a victim?

the two of you have one thing in common

forum alts

that or he never undocked during wardecs?

So basically you're a risk averse carebear, you joined up with other risk averse carebears, who probably told you to stay docked for the war, and this is somehow CCPs fault?

Cool story bro, WOW is --->, etc
