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.
High sec is only safe for morons lacking of pvp skills to go there where they have to take some risks, witch they obviously don't like to.
They hide behind concord aggression mechanics to waste your time playing and just think they're better at the game, it's a bullies game, ignore those bastards and find your way to do something more interesting.

Its a player vs player event so its pvp. ...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 and I guarantee hitting targets will get a lot harder right away. Pfffft, their hemmed in by fences, they won't get far. 
You'd be surprised what the boom stick can do for fuzzy animal ferocity and vertical leap.

Yep OP, it's a pain in the arse but you can learn to avoid it pretty much 100% with some care and attention. It's a question of learning the rules, strategy and tactics for survival. The first thing I ever did in Eve was get scammed. New to MMOs, it didn't occur to me just how common scamming and scammers are. So, those 6 hours of mining in my n00b ship gained me precisely nothing. |

It's not about sandbox or PVP or PVE or hardh game and s**t like that... As in RL, sometime is dangerous even to step out in the street - but you still go out, dont you? Do not take this game too seriously - there always be someone to mock you, one way or another. Just try to play the game as YOU like and try to protect yourself best you can, read the guides (there are bunch of them), read the forums from time to time and you'll be OK.

I get your drift, but I thought this was a fun game, not real life, nothing fun about that. Actually, since you mention guides plural, I didn't expect to do a dissertation to just play a bit either (that's actually what I was doing, mining afk to make some cash to buy and try some things, while trying to read up on what to waste it on next - so far all the docs have been poor, ironically the ones on mining were the most reasonable, which is a laugh).

It's a fun game because you have to pay attention, because there is "danger" .. obviously not to your person, but having to spend significant time on acquiring things you can lose is what makes those things worth more to you, and obviously what makes the loss of them hurt more.
But that also increases the excitement.
I've never played a game where I got a feeling of accomplishment simply by -running away at the right time- and thus being able to flee a situation with odds stacked against me.
I don't want to miss that. It's not about "being like real life" .. it just seems if you look for relaxed fun without the risk of losing something it's not the right game, since exactly the possibility of these things is what other people, me included, like about this game.
And no, I don't think giving people the choice to be completely safe would work.
"But you wouldn't have to use that option!" <- too many would (and would be bored as result, but still would prefer the safe way and then quit. It happens in so many other games..).
Sometimes you have to force such things onto people for their own good. |

No, by spoiling your fun, they are creating fun for themselves. You could spoil their fun by not being such an easy target. No one cries like an elite PvPer when he misses a chance to get on a kill mail or loses his shiny ship. Nah, come to think of it that won't spoil his fun, either. But maybe you'll both have fun. |

Far less interesting to listen to tears.
I'm not going to claim that everyone who plays the game ISN'T a moron, but here's a news flash: to post you have to be playing the game too.
"You aren't playing the game the way I want you to be playing the game" does not equal "You're playing the game wrong".

I'm surprised no one has told the OP how to turn off pvp. Come on guys.
Hit the escape button to bring up the menu
Assign a hotkey to toggle PVP under the hot key tabs. I don't remember what exactly it's under, navigation I think.

Silly OP. You need to start a conversation with the assailant and then link your Multipass. Then they can't lock onto your ship for 30 minutes.
You're all mean trolls for not just telling them.

Just a noob. The dotlan thing is quite useful, wish I had that two weeks ago. Mind you, I'm not taking this game that serious, just trying it out, it's supposed to be fun. But I'm getting the distinct impression that everyone is rather serious, focused and intense, you know, the sort of thing I'd expect at work. Then again, I never could figure out, when someone is doing role playing stupid talk and when it's just real person moronic, may be that's were I go wrong. Bring back games without a chat option!

No, spaceships are serious business. EVE is only fun when you crap on someone else's sand castle then kick it in their face. |
