Yeah, good luck with keeping that little Frigate intact after jumping into a level 4 mission pocket that has Neut's, Web's and Scrams active from NPC's that quickly switch target lock onto other ships landing on grid.
By the way, most 'Carebears' won't engage a 'suspect' with their bling fit Battleship. They'd just warp out letting the 'Suspect' get full room aggro and come back in their PvP fit ship to 'Game On' with whatever is left of the 'Suspect'.
Won't be getting much Faction / Deadspace loot but hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

I came across Feyd's blog about 2 months into playing EVE and have a great laugh playing about in peoples missions pockets, It pretty much kept me interested in EVE until I had more sp and moved onto other things, it wasn't about the ISK and I never even shot at any of the mission runners.
But some the reactions you get when you shoot their mtu's, salvage & loot their wrecks \ mission item, is priceless, I've had 3 different guys in battleships shoot at me, and proceed to get their BS blapped by concord because I wasn't flashy yellow, one of the random guys I was repping in my osprey, I have no idea what he thought I was doing
From over 100 missions pockets I've jumped in, I've been scrammed once by npc, and the bear shot it before it got me and yeah, alot of bears will leave the mission, but they generally come back 20 mins later once they think your busy with something else
Either way, point was, for a new player, it doesn't really have to be about the ISK, but more about having a bit of a laugh, also, the salvage and mission loot still pays better than lvl 1 and 2 security missions

Mission baiting and all that is legit gameplay and can be good fun, but i would never encourage new players to stay in high sec like the op is doing because they would miss the best part of this game.
That advice deserves the scrublord award of the week. |

Jaded and Grumpy?
Just because I mentioned some of the issues pertaining to this thread topic outlined in the Blog doesn't mean I'm a bitter vet.
If you're gonna post advice for new players in this sub-forum then you need to post all the info pertaining to that subject, both positive and negative instead of just focusing on the positive side and over sensationalizing it.
And yes, everyone else who posted disapproval of what I stated and praised the Blog with replies saying how good it works also bypassed the issues I listed, thus intentionally misleading new players into thinking this is a win/win situation.
Mr Epeen wrote:Isn't there a proper sub-forum for shilling your blog? Code can't get away with it in here. Why can the OP? Mr Epeen I agree. Just on the first page of this sub-forum alone I see 5 different threads started by the OP all linking to his Blog. I haven't really checked the other threads like I did with this one. I can only hope the OP has included all info pertaining to those thread topics, regardless if it's Pro or Con.
In my opinion referencing the Blog in answer to a new players question is fine but making a new thread topic here just to promote the Blog goes against the description for 'Eve New Citizens Q&A' :
Quote:Info
New to Eve? Use this forum to ask, or answer, questions about the game. I highly doubt CCP would want or allow everyone with a Blog to start creating threads here in order to promote their own opinions which ultimately influence the viewpoints of new players.
I'd say that's definitely something to seriously consider.

You mean like the newbie corps promote all styles of play right?
I agree on paper, but in practice newbies only seem to get the positive advice on the forums (not everyone reads them) or from the occasional vet making an alt or passing through a newbie system. Hell I only met ONE person in the newbie corp who was supportive of me and the newbies I convinced (tricked? duped?) to join me for low sec shenanigans. They need all the positive advice surrounding these kinds of non carebearing activities they can get.

Feyd, your writing is unimaginative and your blog is terrible. Stop desperately trying to increase viewership with your rampant stealth advertisement threads.
Also, new players should be taught to embrace all aspects of the game and find their own niche. I respect mission baiters and gankers as much as anyone, but your sperging promotes a toxic and judgmental mindset towards a large proportion of players.
In a game that is supposed to be a sandbox of multiple gamestyles and career choices, your kind are the last people I'd send a new player to. An adult who judges other adults for how they choose to play a video game does not need more recruits, he needs a life. Hey guys. |

Some say losec, null or wormholes are the only zip codes where you can be a pirate, or experiment with pvp.
I respectfully disagree, and wish to ensure new players are at least aware of other options, which while giving us personally many hours of unrestrained pleasure, is a viable PSA.

Actually, there's a lot of stuff missing in that blog and/or just silly. There's far more details and granularity, even for starting Asshats, to understand and make use of. On top of all that; telling people to use ships that do kin/therm damage when the majority of missions runners tanks exactly that is, at best, questionable. |
