Have to agree on the newbie/can baiting/player retention stuff.
I've always felt that we NEED MORE PLAYERS and not that we should run those just starting EVE off the server. There SHOULD be protection in place for brand new players.
My opinions on this have been the same since I started in 05. |

If you want to coat new players in cotton wool, be my guest, but all your going to create is the next generation of carebears that expect that kind of protection and threaten to unsub when they don't get it. These are, in fact, my favourite kind of tears, so I welcome these kinds of players for entertainment value. However, new players have sufficient protection in their 0.9-1.0 starter systems. Let's not forget that every one of us have been a "newbie" at some stage, and a lot of the older players didn't have the "protection" available today when they were new. It was "here's your pod, now go find a ship" as far as I'm aware.
Actually, there is one thing that I thought of after I wrote my post.
None of the newbie hostility is a new thing in EVE, and the same goes for people acting like jackasses. This has been the case since day 1.
And yet, the amount of subscribers increases each year. |

As a semi-related comment, I do think its kind of cool that the total number of subscriptions right now is higher than the total population of Iceland.
Granted, Iceland population count isn't all that high anyhow. |

This is truly the real reason why highsec should be nerfed, highseccers just chase new players away with their misguided elitism. In highsec you're either in a pimped out marauder or T3, or you're in a hulk or mackinaw or you're worthless, whereas in nullsec t1 frigates and new players who are willing to take risks are actually useful and are rewarded by those who remember the difficulties they had as a new player.
When's the last time you sent someone who's been in the game for less than a month isk for helping you? Or are you too busy racking up the amount on your wallet screen to care?
This is the real reason why we hate you, because you're all sociopaths.
It happens more often that you think. I have helped new players quite a few times with ISK donations. In one case I sent 136m to one player to help then cover losses after they started a thread here on the forums. I had never even heard of the person before that, so it wasn't somebody I helped because I knew.

Normally I wouldn't have, but that player seemed like somebody who would take advice, accept the donation, and know not to make the same mistake again.
On top of that, if you read through that thread, I wasn't the only long time player to help out either. |
