OK...so my first cruiser went down in a mission that sent me to a low sec area....I wore that with good grace.... I didn't understand the implications and it set me back a week. I skilled a Battlecruiser and kept running level 1 missions until I could aford the upgrade and stayed in high sec doing missions. Pretty standard learning curve I expect with new players.
So I am mission running in my BC in high sec and other players are poaching my kills... I scan one... when he turns red on me.... I outclass him by ship type and fire upon him..... he leaves the encounter area and I continue to farm my zone. It seems he either refit for PvP or jumped ships and came back, froze me in place and took me apart. Now I don't mind the learning curve. But it is not fun for a struggling new player to be deliberately poached upon in high sec areas and lose 9 days progress because someone with 3 years of skills can change out a ship and re-enter the area in pvp mode. If such senior players poach on new players and the gameplay allows it.... Soon there will be no new players....and a fun game will die

I understand the idea that predators won't care much for complaint.... My disappointment was that the game seems to allow a player to refit ship after starting a fight. If he had not refit to pvp I might have escaped.
Instead it seems he refit and came back at me, salvaged my wreak and set me back 9 days in a high sec starter area.
Not a fun gameplay experience in any MMO.
If the game hadn't kept him red-flagged after he had refit... It would have been a new encounter and he would have had concord to deal with for piracy.

I have seen it on other forums in other games...... Fools trolling to say that someone is crying
In fact I made it clear that I lost a ship in a pvp zone by accident and wore it in good grace.
My complaint is that people of 3 years experience can patrol a high sec player starter area, start a fight, change to a pvp spec that outmatches the 1 1/2 month old player and rejoin the fight. There is no fairness in that. Any fool that thinks it is just part of the game for a new player to be set back by 20% of their time spent in game by that is simply trolling.
My point was that a player should not be able to provoke a fight in a pve spec, run away and change to pvp, then return.
It is simply not fun for a player to work so hard for ship and equipment gains to have a 3yr geared player beef up and take it away.
Sure....If you have been playing for years and know the tricks....you can get through.... But new players, the lifeblood of any game.....are set back 9 days in reasonable attempts to keep their loot, having a player of 3 years change to a pvp spec after deliberately provoking them to allow for combat.
Sorry that us new players don't know all the rules yet. Perhaps if you help us rather than laughing at us you might have a chance at keeping your game alive.

To those that replied genuinely, I thank you. Much of what you speak of I learned through that encounter. It is the ability to change ship or equpitment in high sec areas that I was bothered by.
I am sure I will keep my current ship longer.
I am sure that one day I will punish the pirate or those like him.
My dismay is that noob players can be preyed upon within the game rules. I feel simply that in high sec, or at least certain systems, a player should be restricted from modifying his ship if he/she is going to return to battle. In low sec areas the idea that "All is fair in love and war" applies.

Then you're labeling all the Dev's fools, because this game is specifically designed this way. It means HTFU or GTFO.
If you were a dev and believed this way. Yes.... I would label you a fool. Any Dev that believes the game should be stacked against new players.....Yes.... I would label them a fool.
A game only survives by replacing and increasing its player base. Make that game un-fun or unfairly stacked against that new player base and the game will die.
I don't believe the games intention was for players to sit and poach upon new players. I simply state that this is an area in which players do. In fact I believe that the designers would correct it if they knew it made for bad game play.
But YES.... I label you a FOOL.  ...Have a nice day:P
