I've been playing Eve for about a year and a half and have taken breaks, mined, missioned, warred, 0.0. I'm bored. I have tried to get people in my corp/alliance to pvp but they don't seemed to be interested. I have always detested pirates but have began to take a different outlook on things. Basically, i hate rude people and have found that they are on both sides.
I've tried looking for pirates to hunt but there aren't as many targets as the other.
I'm thinking of going to the Dark Side but the thing is I find it hard to be mean to someone unless i'm provocted. So my ? is should i be or should i not be a pirate?
I am seeking advice from both sides. So, if you have time give me three reasons i should and 3 why i should not

You pay your subscriptions and are old enough to make your own choices. Do what you want to do. It's your subscription and your enjoyment.

By all evidence, I think you will make a fine pirate so long as you can keep getting people targets, to offer you advice.

Well, you say you are bored? By all means try pirating and then decide. Better than quit the game and regret in a couple of years you maybe didn't see all of its aspects. And its a -game- so being "mean" is an arguable term. First kill is the hardest, if you wan't to kill again then you know your answer :). Gl

heh mate dont worry it gets me sometimes too, my first time out we got a apoc mining alone in low sec, i felt so guilty that i asked blitz0r and the rest of gang to leave him alone and just ransom him.
But on the other hand you kill someone and you feel bad only until to see what the little pr1ck wrote in local, trust me then it feels so right hehehe.

One weekend I killed every single membering of a mining corp in 0.0. All battleships. All sucky mining loot. Was it fun? Hell yeah! Do I feel guilty? Do I hell.
The question is not why should you be a pirate, its why shouldn't you be one?

well rather than pirate, why dont you pretend to be a merc, pick a large mining corp, and then pretend like someone hired you to kill them all. Its like a concord endorsed form of piracy, and if you lie to yourself, you wont feel bad.

Well if you're even considering doing it, then you might as well give it a try. Been doing it since I started the game and I must say there is nothing more thrilling then killing folks and having them try and seek revenge for the terrible wrongs you have done. It's you money so do what makes the game fun for you. Who care what the majority of Eve players think of pirates, they're the ones missing out on all the real fun. ARGH!!!!!

I seem to be going against the grain but don't do it Dubya.
It is hard to get into PvP without enough people to head out into 0.0 to help you but it's much more satisfying.
There are many corps that only do PvP in 0.0. I've been invited to join them a few times (sorry can't remember the names) but I have a fledgling corp with some freinds and we are trying it out ourselves. We are not recruiting just now but I think we may be soon so drop me an Evemail ingame if you want.
We had righteous plans to hunt empire pirates but it is boring as boring gets. Out in 0.0 everyone is an enemy and a target. It's getting into fights you can handle that's the problem as before you know it 10 ships are all hunting down your lone ship. Fair fights you will not get but PvP and fun you will.
Just head out there in as fast a frigate as you can get to get a feel for it. Doubtfull you will get a kill but you'll get an idea what it is like.
Any activity should be fun for all parties involved in my book. Piracy is often only fun for the pirate. If your happy with that (as many people are) then by all means go for it.
You have played this game long enough to hopefully know the "it's only a game" statement pirates love so much is a load of tosh in relation to Eve. By definition correct but in reality totally wide of the mark.
Your a much more experienced player than me so hope I haven't wasted your time but that's my 2 cents.
Don't become a pirate - do it the hard way and gain respect, not hatred.

I felt that from the point that I turned pirate (from being a miner), I played a completely different game. A definite do.

On topic: Piracy is fun, shooting people and stealing their stuff is not mean when you do it with STYLE. No smacking, swearing or abuse, just business.

eh how would you know? have to try something else to compare you know
For the original poster.
Just remember this, for every sucessfull pirate there is many unsucsessfull ones, for every plunder there is a victim. any pirate that tell you tales about brotherhood or great pirate groups that work together lies.
A pirate pry on others, also other pirates, sure some might pretend to be your friend for a while, but only as long it take them to get the chance to take what is yours for themselves. thats the hard truth, thats what make them pirate!
ok now all teddybears with eyepatches can tell me its not like that at all, that pirates are cuddly nice people that never betray, steal or cheat Anyone at all....

My excitement is real, I can feel adrenaline, and with a bit of luck I gain something out of the kill. My target's suffering is limited to zeroes and ones as far as I'm concerned, because if I wouldn't think like that I wouldn't be able to pirate.
The definition of a sociopath. Yours is real.....But there's is not..Mmmmmm. Does this mean that Eve is more than just a game to you, but just a computer game to others..
The choices that I make in Eve are flavoured by who I am in real life. They have to be, I am the only filter by which I can make these choices. lets see ...To put it bluntly...I think pirates are a great part of the game, and I want them there (just to boring other wise). But if I met you in real life and you where a pirate in eve, well it would effect how I trusted you...Just how I see it...

I think sociopathy more accurately describes the certain individual relationships between or amongst individuals moreso than the actual psychologies of the participatory individuals.
Internet communications.. and communities.. are a subfield of the study of the intersubjective in its own right.
Classical definitions of sociopathy, especially clinical definitions, are generally flawed. Normally such are based on an evaluation of end-state ethics. The history of it from the eighteenth century is fascinating on its own.
The late political philosopher, Eric Voegelin, has an incredibly provocative (and lengthy) volume of work on the political and ethical implications of the metaxy (the in-between) throughout the core vitae of the philosophies of the polis from time immemorial into the present. I recommend it highly if you want to be utterly fascinated by something you will almost never have the words or capacity to relate to friends and family (or strangers on the internet).

You're way too psuedo-intellectual for this game.
