Did you just indirectly compare the exploding of internet spaceships to forced sexual intercourse?
You sir/madam have some serious issues with reality, the explosion of pixels is in no way anywhere near the physical and mental violation that a victim of that particular crime is subject to.
I find the comparison extremely offensive, and suspect that you've deliberately played that particular card in order to troll, especially in light of the recent events in India that resulted in the death of a young woman, and the reaction from the populace.
Always bet on stupid, CCP can't patch stupid.
The measure of success in Eve is not monetary worth,
it's how effectively you can bend others to your will. |

I have really got to wonder what these people are doing to have everyone trying to kill them. I've been playing off and on since 2006 and only had 1 person shoot at me; he thought he was in a low sec system (of by one and got concorded)and was looking to get into some pvp fun (talked with him in local for a bit then gave him 10 million to replace his rifter and buy extras for longer pvp goodness).
Then again I did spend about a week researching the game before buying it and one of the first things I learned is how not to make myself a target (only took about an hour of research to learn it). |

why every where in EVE, people always want to kill you? is this all EVE is all about? who can kill who first?
even if your ship have no defense or offense you are targeted and and quickly destroyed and usually by 2+ players...
what is the honor of attacking a ship that can not fight back? for killboard stats? but how can your killboard look "good" if it is full of defenseless ships?
is this all EVE is about?
Yes. Eve is about PVP. Lots of idiots on these forums will suggest otherwise. The folks who understand the game call them victims. |

As a gamer, I always had a code of conduct of sorts. For example, if I stumble onto someone fighting NPCs in another MMO, I don't jump on top of it and yell "Gangb***g!" I'll politely wait until he's done killing AND looting. Why? Well, he did all the work, might as well make sure he gets the rewards, in case I win. We then duke it out. It's nice, clean, honorable. And it means something if I win. What meaning does it have to beat someone down who is already on the verge of possibly dying to a bunch of NPCs?
Same goes for attacking "lowbies". People who can't effectively fight back. Or "ganking" (Nv1 fights where the victim has no chance of winning, and only a slim chance of escape). I just see very little point in it, nor do I have much fun doing it.
Now, in EVE, people will tell you none of this applies, because of loot and ISK. That is a fallacy, and an obvious one at that. Because what is ISK? You can BUY ISK in EVE for crying out loud, legally. Something you can't do even in a carebear game like WoW. Want to become a billionaire in EVE? Dump a hundred bucks into the game, and viola, you're a billionaire! Congratulations, you win EVE! Credits roll, uninstall?
But hey, that's just me. I'm crazy and quirky like that.

and you my friend are not alone.
Contrary to what outward appearances may lead one to believe, there are a great number of folks just like you and I who view things the same way AND play EvE.

Hehe, I remember UO, walking through the woods with my fledgling sword man, suddenly some guy stepped up to me and gave me lots of valuable and powerful combat equipment. I was grateful and asked "why do You give all this to me?" and he replied "So You can actually fight back  " just before killing me.
Good old times :)

Also, when it comes to the game of eve, I found it a good thing to stick to what the sniper said.

Reasons why someone might want to kill you in a completely defenseless ship other than being a jerk.
1. You are invaded their territory. They invested a great deal of effort in chasing out the pirates, gankers etc. and now you're taking advantage of their hard work and reaping the rewards that they consider are rightfully theirs.
2. You may be a spy for a hostile party. Suppose I wanted to go miner hunting with my friends. I might send a completely unarmed and defenseless miner ship in my fleet to scout out the belts in the next system over. And once I knew where those juicy targets were warp to that fleet member and blow up everyone.
3. They are being altruistic by teaching you in a less expensive ship that you can't fly without defenses and/or friends and/or strategy and/or tactics. Face it, the game itself says over and over again, "Don't fly anything you can't afford to lose" and yet people tend to do it until their ship gets popped.
4. Mistaken Identity. There are so many names available and some of them are hard to distinguish, "Was it XxNecroBabyXX" that ganked me last week or "xxNecroBABYxx"? Aw who cares, kill 'em all let someone else sort it out.
Plenty of people just want to start a fight with a player, because they want the challenge of an opportunity that at least occasionally does something unpredicted. Even people who really get into playing market games or mining or mission running, burn out on those activities and want a new challenge. In Eve Online, social interaction is where the challenge is.

My dear and wonderful pubbie, my innocent, disenchanted pubbie: Honor is an illusion. EVE is where our most cherished abstractions are allowed to vanish, like fog in the summer sun. Just so ethereal they are. Just so fragile. Now we answer only to impulse and to violence. What a glorious world we have made, no? |

please note: i would prefer constructive responses, otherwise do not waste both of our times
You know how people try and get tears in forums posts? EvE does it with ships. I know quite a few local people that have mains just for ISK collection (missions, market etc) and their alt just camps gates for killmails.
Watch a few vids of people ganking players and you'll get why they are doing it pretty fast.

Honor got nerfed a while back, I think it was done in 2004 to help reduce lag.

There are certain jokes that are appropriate for the forums. There are many others that are not. I have deleted posts containing and implying ones of the latter type.
