So I rant about PLEX scams, defend new player retention and try to take a look at how we can make Eve more dark and edgy and dangerous and at the same time draw in new blood and energy and ideas.
Over the last few days I have seen the feast of the unknowing, the clueless, and the just plain incompetent:
-One girl was asking in help the best place to sell a PLEX. *I convo her, and of course she is planning on moving it.
-An 8 mil SP guy wanted a 1v1 to try out PvP, I make a SS drop a can and fleet up. He takes the can and shoots me.
-And just today I have this level 3 with a ton of wrecks, I ask on help if anyone wants to salvage it. Guy says GÇ£yes pleaseGÇ¥, so I put the location in the hanger and contract it to him. He flies out in his Noctis picks up the location, flies to the not-abandoned wrecks and steals the loot, while IGÇÖm in system doing part 2 of the mission.
I am beginning to wonder if the Eve gods are speaking.
This is a youtube playlist going over my first 30 ship losses. Video sucks but the audio came out well.There are some good lessons, and if you know the game there's some funny stories. |

I've played EVE on and off for eight years. Off more than on as the years go by and I have never had the desire to screw someone over. I hope I never do. |

Hmmm, Battleclinic only goes back to 2004 for me. I probably didn't really pay much attention to posting kill mails before that point in time.
Probably the first time I seriously got into blowing up someone else was on Armageddon day, but that doesn't really count I suppose. 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. |

Succeeding, or winning, when other people are involved trying to do the same thing does not by neccessity mean you have to screw someone over to do so.
Success shouldn't be somethiing to be ashamed of.
This seems to be a point of confusion among many of this generation.

Probably within my first month or so.

On day god will punish everyone in this thread.
On the day of judgement, as you are being cast down into hell, you'll gnash your teeth and decry "Why lord! It was just a video game!"
And the lord sayeth "I did it for the lulz!" "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

first truly satisfying moment, watched a hulk try to kill an alt of mine that had massive amounts of kr's against him with his drones. Guy didn't look at the patch updates, so he never activated the kill rights. Watched concord kill a fully t2 fit hulk. :D, popped an orca pilot once just chilling in his pod, he lost about 800 mil in implants (1 week). Had a few satisfying moments so far in eve. |
