You have my sympathy.
Failure isn't about falling down...
It's remaining where you've fallen If your liberty is won by others then you are not free, you are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic and you suck the honourable man dry. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood |

You are doing your job here, I cannot blame you for that, and please don't take it as a personal attack. But I hate how all those threads always end up here, feels like OoPE is a toxic waste dump for terrible threads.
You see, there is a thread here about a guy who just realized that he doesn't like eggs now as an adult quite as much as he used to like them when he was little. Good stuff. Highly relevant to OoPE. You keep flushing those constructive threads off the frontpage with all the GD sewage that we get. Please don't feed me. |

Welcome to OOPE, GD's trash overflow bin. It used to be a nice place until the powers that be decided that one sub forum simply couldn't handle the excessive amount of **** that builds up in it. |

Problem here is greed.
OP apparently considered the loot "his" and didn-¦t take it kindly when it was "stolen" from him instead of just ignoring the intruder.
Oh, and not knowing basic game mechanics (the consequences) like aggression timers and killrights didn-¦t help either but there is still hope that some lurking soul learns from this story.... Forum-unbanned since 2011.10.20.

I wouldn't say greed. Just a combination of ignorance of mechanics and EVE culture - and lack of a healthy 'flight' reflex.
I can 'get' popping the lootzninja. Completely understandible. What I don't get is why he didn't abandon the site immediately and run like hell for a Safe. That's not greed, that's lack of concern for protecting one's hard(?) work in acquiring such an expensive (if laughably-fit) ship.

So let me get this straight : after 5 years of constant hardcore carebearing (not leaving highsec often or at all, seldom if ever engaging in PvP, etc), the vast majority of your assets were represented by a single mediocre fit-for-missioning ship you ended up losing ?

Really, you removed my one-line comment about what safeties are for? It wasn't mean-spirited, just bluntly honest.
The post was clear and concise, without a shred of deception or name calling. Think of all the lives that could be saved if only people could've read my comment about safeties! But now? Sadly, I fear the OP and people like him may misunderstand further, thinking that safeties will protect them from themselves.
It's all your fault Suvetar!

People tend to forget that for "everyone can shoot a player with a suspect flag" to be a detriment to such activities there has to be other people present and motivated to take advantage of that.
Even then you can always come back in an appropriate ship and with remote repping/boosting friends to take advantage of those players if you think you can take them.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Well, I read that entire thing.
And while I was confused on different occasions, which you yourself didn't clarify for what ever reasons. I guess all I can say is good luck on your new endeavors. But maybe a break from EVE is a better step than quiting outright, I myself have been playing for atleast half a decade, and can never really stick with EVE for longer than 6 months before an even longer break is required.
I guess I can agree that the amount of alt accounts in EVE Online are staggering and ******** though. But the game has always enticed players into having them, CCP has just recognized that they can't really prevent that, so instead, are supporting it. |

I'm quitting for a completely different reason, yet in a way, it's somewhat related.
I like to PVP, but have found it ever more difficult to actually get a fight. I do not mean that I cannot find engagements. What I mean is that many of those engagements are not fights. Some common "leet" things I run into:
1. Everyone's favorite ship, the falcon - Nothing like being completely unable to do anything. Best case here is being able to flee with your tail between your legs. So here we have run away, if possible (no fight) or die being unable to do anything whatsoever (no fight). This relates to ECM in general, the falcon of course being the biggest ridiculousness.
2. The age old gate camp - A pain in the butt of the past, which seemed to disappear somewhat, is back in full force. I normally don't mind most gate camps, but there seems to be more and more of the insta-lock, multiple web/scram variety. Again, you end up being almost completely unable to do anything. Gate burn? Nope, you are moving at 10m/s. Warp off? Web/scrammed upon decloaking. Fight back? Only if you have numbers.
A. Can also include the fun of number 1, which makes this super awesomely fun.
B. Alpha gate camps totally eliminating the only viable option you have, which would be fight back.
3. Off-grid boosting leetness - Nothing like seeing all these parked booster alts. I love getting pointed at 40km, and then having some form of electronic warfare make be unable to do anything, but futilely try and evade the boosted players leet skills. Again, no fighting here.
Add to that the slow wasted time of actually jumping a series of gates to find a fight, only to run into one of the above situations where you cannot actually fight, but instead, the best case scenario is to get away, makes for nothing more than a waste of time.
It's become so annoying, that while I have about a year's worth of plex sitting around, so I could keep the sub open w/o paying a dime, I just don't see the point.
And in closing, no, you cannot haz my stuff. |

It looks like he just wanted some kind of special treatment because he's be carebearing in his little bubble a long time and how dare someone come interfere with his gameplay. Someone with less time in game than him, no less!
With all due respect, that fit is so bad you deserved to be killed.
Also, why in hell did you shoot an obvious bait? I'm not the smartest player around, nor the more veteran (less than one year playing) but I used to get probed a lot when I was doing L4 in a CNR, and, while an annoyance, just keep going and finish the mission. Let the griefers and the can flippers bore and go to poke another guy. Is not that you will lose more than 10 or 20 mill.
Better than a 1.5 bill SNI
Anyway, at current prices, you can fit a better SNI for like 1/3 of the money you lost, so you can keep doing the happy carebear and killing red crosses.
Just don't shot the obvious bait.
If not... can I have your stuff?? |

There is no way to fit the hull correctly... its a bad ship.
Well its not. It is a nice stepping stone between the awesome drake brick, and the CNR / Golem gank for a Caldari Carebear. Awesome tank will allow you to taste your first L4 without fear of getting destroyed. Also when you jump into your CNR, all the fit is still valid.

I have been playing for 5 years as well, and I don't really see any of the negative changes OP is talking about. All I see is improvements. And now, as always, the most rare and most valuable in EVE is trust and loyalty.
And do I really have to remind people to "never put all your eggs in one basket"? You got to have heard that saying countless times since you were a kid? There is a reason for that, more so in EVE. |

Spawne32,
Get up, dust yourself off.
I lost a 2.1B Navy Scorp to the Inf1dels a long time ago. It was the first time I had been ganked (and the last).
In a mission, this little frigate warps in, I warped out. I thought I had left him to the NPCs that were still there. With curiousity getting the best of me I warp back to the accel gate for that mission . . .WTF?! Who are all these guys around me? (and why are they turning red?) It was like 25 sec and poof I'm in my pod.
They thought I had escaped their plan, but then there I go and jumped right into their laps!
I was upset to say the least. It took a long time to make and fit out a 2.1B ship . . . all that work for what? (I still had many other expensive ships.)
After I thought about it for a while, they were very organized, much better than any FW I had been in, and I joined them. I went to null sec for a while, and took part in some ganks on some others in hi-sec. Aaarg, the life of a pirate!
I learned many things with the Inf1deles, and enjoyed every minute with them.
I couldn't devote a lot of time with them, so I went back to hi-sec. Since that ganking, I have made back that 2.1B loss many times over.
God, I know a ganking hurts, but it'll only hurt for a while.

Posting here without reading much because I am psychic
Thread can be construed as total loss of assets (whatever they may be) Fun, Hours, Money, RL Money etc due to not understanding PVP/Flagging/aggresion rules in Hi Sec/Lo Sec/Null/Alliance Space, Repair, RR, Jump Bridging, Sovereign Space, Claimed Space, Illusionary Roleplaying Rules, NBSI or NRDS and/or a permutation of how these work during specific and highly localized environments, situations, dimensions, sectors, thus ruining a several years/months/weeks/days/hours long careers ingame and wishing death and ruin upon CCP-¦s flawed game which could do better under the hands of invisible experts in the sky that know how to do great things and how they should treat their hamsters.
Net Result:
Posts trolling OP Post explaining how OP should have acted Post explaining how rules work in several different ways that only muddy the waters Posts asking for "stuffs" Posts sneering at OP for not HTFU Posts regarding new solutions for mechanic Posts with random comments not pertaining to OPs original intent Posts with ponies Posts with ways to make Lo Sec Better Posts with AFK cloakers Posts with Local as Intel and how it is good/bad to the game, even people inside stations Posts with stealth recruiting intentions Post with lulz, apple pie and derivatives Posts with random eve related flash games Posts with ingame political agendas propaganda Posts with stealth **** Posts with www.zombo.com webpages Posts begging Posts stealth begging to avoid locks Posts with INB4 Lock permutations Posts with 1,2,3,4 Profit Formulas Posts with This way or that way directions to other MMOS Posts with farewell and goodbyes wishing OP luck Posts with classic o7 and o/ Posts with hateful goodbyes wishing OP do well in other games or life and Very rare actually useful BLUE bars explaining how this works Very common posts flaming blue ones with a few defending blue ones Also Life.
