Pardon me for not reading 11 pages in order to reply...not even sure if the OP is still playin/reading.
Eve is a tough game. Even the "carebears" that love Eve dont want it to be made "more friendly". Whether you hunt players, hunt NPC's, or hunt Isk, the risk is what makes this game. If you do not want risk, then this is not the game for you. CCP know exactly what they have created.
Two things happens to noobs when the are confronted by gank/arsehattery:
1. They emorage and quit eve and go back to WoW...I mean srsly...many actually do go back to WoW. Its not just a saying.
2. They emorage, get angry and (here it is) try to learn what they did wrong. In other games, you mainly lose becuase of what other people do. They get to the bossmob first and get the shiney sword of ubergeekness first, or they log in for hours at a time to grind levels in order to gank you with their massive level advantage. In EvE...it is the opposite. If you get ganked...it was your fault for walking into the gank. If you get scammed, it was your fault for being foolish with isk. If you lose your fancy fresh ship to a mission, it is because >you< did something wrong.
In a game where >you< are punished for what >you< have done, there is no room for people who want to constantly blame others for their failures.
Failure is a given, what you do next makes the difference between win or phail.

Naive...whatever...+1 for you for taking a shot at me. Good job.
I admit after reading over that it didnt come across as I intended. The point I was trying to make was that many mistakes that are made in EvE are in fact avoidable. The trick is to learn from your mistakes and move on. Even if it isnt your fault then you >still< have to learn from the experience and try to mitigate the possibilities of it happening again.
Those who can learn from both good and bad luck prosper. Those who can't dont last, whine on the forums, or quit...or any above combo.

Awwww I sense nerdrage I act on these forums as I act in this game, I don`t attack anyone I only retaliate. So when you act like a douche I`ll threat you like one. Check out the thread again, do you see me "insult" (lol? anyone actually gets insulted from forum posts???) someone who didn`t "fire" at me first?
You fired a few across my bow first there Bazuka with the whole "naive" thing a few pages back...so dont go gettin all self righteous on us now.
Aint nothing wrong with being a raging forum prowler seeking out posts to pounce upon using your razor sharp wit, shocking knowledge, and divine insight into the human ego/mind.
Just dont try to fall back on any "I only react" stuff. You took a shot at me...a weak one...but one none-the-less.
