So, anybody can tell me either way, is there a setting or something, where I can stop those morons?

No, I wasn't can mining, gave that up last week.

On the stats, so the 325k subscribers Eve reported last year don't ring true then either. Can you trust anyone these days?

I think I'll have a nice game of chess instead, and thanks for all the fish.

Is this game for morons only?

Anybody please tell me, how to play this game without constantly getting harassed by idiotic players, mostly noobs, which are just wasting my time and spoiling any fun. I'm relatively new myself, just getting into the mining and building side of things, and if I want to fight anyone, I'll go into the lowsec. But while I'm not in the mood for fighting, I stay in the hisec and surely there must be a setting or something, that prohibits others to force me into a fight there (well, I usually mine there, so it's just a matter of them shooting me really, not a fight really). It's not even being blown up that's annoying or loosing a ship, it's cheap to replace, but the time wasted in getting blown up (obviously you get webbed and then it takes them 10-20 minutes to destroy a retriever, because they are inept) and wasted in replacing it is really turning me of this game (aside from the fact, that it takes months before you can fly any halfway decent ship).

So, anybody can tell me either way, is there a setting or something, where I can stop those morons? If not, is it actually the intention of this game to do this? If so, I'm out of here, I have to deal with enough morons in real life, and I couldn't be bothered to do so and call it "entertainment". There is other better games out there, some are even free. To think I was even considering getting a second account on the current special offer - uugh.

Show me on the doll where the bad PvPer touched you?

or

You are a PvE player paying for a PvP game and you think the PvPers are moroons?

H e l l o ? ?

Calling a guy who ganks miners a PvP'er is the same as calling a guy who brings a shotgun to a petting zoo a hunter.

Its a player vs player event so its pvp.

For those who wondered about the kill. It was a badger something, he blackmailed me first, 200m or pop,

typical goon pet post. at least give her 1/10.

...and really, have you actually brought a shotgun to a petting zoo? People freak out and go crazy, for one, and that scares the animals. You start getting some shots off shot and I guarantee hitting targets will get a lot harder right away.

lol, I'm sorry that made me laugh.. some "pirate" really tried to random a badger one for 200 million? What were you hauling a PLEX? that's funny... and stupid.

In a game driven by people, you're going to have to deal with people.

Go herp derp somewhere else you anti-social recluse.

After some trash talk later he even gave me 10 times its value, guess he got scared I get him banned for blackmailing me in the first place (come to think of it, may be it isn't allowed by CCP after all).

Dealing with people is great, dealing with morons is annoying, having to deal with morons is the bit I don't care for. And if I'm expected to pay money for it, I'll choose, and I chose not to (although briefly I considered to play a moron too and just randomly shoot at people, but then that sounds awefully boring, and believe me mining already was boring).

PS: and it's not that I had anything worth while looting, may 1k cubic meters of some ore. After some trash talk later he even gave me 10 times its value, guess he got scared I get him banned for blackmailing me in the first place (come to think of it, may be it isn't allowed by CCP after all).
