I retract my previous comment about him crying. Going back to a post I made earlier about how I would love to move my PVE operations to lo/null, are there actually any corps/alliances based in these areas that would welcome a PVE player who wants to continue with PVE, has no experience of PVP but would be willing to learn even if it's only as cannon fodder/hero tackle? Or am I still a worthless pubbie who deserves to die in a fire? I'm a carebear yes, but I'm willing to expand my horizons, I know this isn't recruitment, it's a hypthetical question  I think the problem is that if they want a primarily pve focused player in nullsec, they're better off just getting a bot. They're less whiny, less prone to spying or corp theft, they work longer hours, and they're less likely to die to stupid ****. If this is everyone's answer, why should non ship to ship PvP'ers even want to join the rest of the game? |

Or am I still a worthless pubbie who deserves to die in a fire?  Yes, yes there are. My last null corp had a guy that could barely fly a BC. I myself joined it when that character was about a month old and could also barely fly a bc. We joined at about the same time and were the corp "newbies" together, although I had experience already and just had a new character. He was completely new at the game, but both of us were out on PvP roams with them in under a week after joining. They even let me use thoraxes at first because I didn't want to have to replace more expensive ships yet and we were too small to have a reimbursement policy. On nights where we did group PvE in the complexes they even let the two of us newbies keep the salvage for ourselves. It was our job to kill the cruisers and frigates to save the battleships the annoyance of trying to hit them. The only thing keeping you from going to 0.0 is yourself. Hell even goons accept newbies in frigates as long as they hang out on the something awful forum. His question seems more focused on PvE'ers and industrialist that new players. |

Hell even goons accept newbies in frigates as long as they hang out on the something awful forum. His question seems more focused on PvE'ers and industrialist that new players. I thought my answer made it clear that if a month old newbie with less SP and knowledge of the game can go to 0.0 then it should be extremely easy for an experienced PvE player. I meant it as a "if he can do it so can you" kind of thing. I was trying to show that people are quite accommodating and helpful as long as you show a willingness to learn and participate. Maybe I'm misreading the intent of the question then. What I'm seeing is a question of "If my primary activities are not PvP, am I welcome by people who live in PvP space?" This is considerably different from asking, "I'm new, can I PvP with you guys?" |

I read it as more like "I'm mainly interested in PvE, but am willing to learn to PvP with you guys too if you'll teach me." It did specifically say that he was willing to learn PvP. Willingness to learn PvP on some level would be necessary in both situations. Both should be willing, in the case of null, to join HD fleets and CTA's to contribute, but what about the guy that would rather scan for cosmic sigs than go on a roam? |
