is this allowed ? what good reason can you possibly have for allowing puss filled kids with little weenies to make people decide not to sub to this otherwise fantastic game ? i mean its not like it would be difficult to have a field of protection around warp gates, or is it not historically accurate ? (inside ww2ol joke) 
i guess you have good reasons for allowing such lame game play, i just cant seem to understand them, maybe someone here could enlighten me ?

Ahh some one got ganked,
Yes this is aloud, if you dont like it learn to avoid them or stay in 0.5 or above.
Ganking gates to guard system or just for loot is one way people can and do play eve

Just stay in safe space (0.5+) and you'll be fine.

Destroying ships give loot and profit for gate campers. It funds pvp combat. People also belt pirate but it is harder to find targets there which means gate camping is the more popular option for many people.
I imagine you were heading through some sort of chokepoint from a high-sec to a low-sec system?
There are ways to avoid gate-ganking and minimise it and it's a better move to learn these than complain about it. Later on, if it still annoys you, you can hop in a good combat ship and hunt them if you like.

They mainly do it to protect their system or to get your loot or just because they can. A side affect from that is they get to come to these boards and get a kick out of people's reactions when they get gate-ganked. I would suggest using the afforementioned instas, wcs, balls and luck. I have used those to great success. I get to laugh when I warp out out of a gate camp with the campers trying to figure out why they didn't warp scramble me or, when I am in my frigate/shuttle, why I am long gone before they can do anything.

my lesson to you is whenever you go into space below 0.5 don't have auto pilot on if you junp in you are cloaked for about 30 secs which gives you time to find an insta or escape route

no this weenie had the space you jumped into covered, it was a valuable lesson and one day he'll wish he'd never done it, i just wonder at why its allowed to happen, its about as lame as you can get.
on a slightly related note a friend was approaching a warp gate in safe space and watched some weenie lock on him fire one shot and get splattered by concord :)
whats an insta btw ?

It's allowed to happen because players can be pirate types in this game. It comes at a cost in that they get a lower security rating, but that is actually part of the beauty and freedom of this game. Also, don't hesitate to write down the players name and corp who gate camps you. One day, you will be all grown up with your very own battlecruiser, hac, bs or whatever you prefer and you will cross paths with this individual again only this time you will be more experienced, skilled up and ready to fight. Then you can happily return the favor. Of course, most pirates don't keep track of who they kill and will have no clue that they wronged you six months ago so be prepared to be added to a KOS list.
Good luck

Errm,
Please dont pretend to know that all people that shoot you are filled with zits and have small *****es.
It makes you look stupid(er)
If you dont want to get shot then stay in high sec space. See, thats what a smart, risk averse person would do. Theres 1500+ "safe" systems for you to play in. Dont want to get shot? Stay out of lowsec.

I counter your question with "Why are we not allowed to shoot people in space higher than 0.5?". If you can answer that, you have the answer to your own question as well. +0.5 is for people who wish to mind their own business, lower than 0.5 is for people who wants more than just a singleplayer game with built in IRC, unsovereign 0.0 is for people who wish to build their own kingdoms.
Actually, there is a field of protection around gates, and they are the reason people are KILLED instead of RANSOMED. People like you whined about being killed and ransomed in low sec empire, so CCP put incredibly powerful sentry turrets around all low sec gates. These sentrys deals so much damage that only battleships can snipe from outside the sentry range (or perhaps tank the damage dealt by the sentrys), and battleships are not that good at tackling. Tackling is not very preferable when sentrys are firing at you.
So, instead of just grabbing you and squeezing a little cash from you, they just shoot you before you get away, and hope for that you drop some good loot. A wonderful world, isn't it?

It's basically players who've been on for too long and are bored of mining/running agent missions etc. They set up a gate camp and shoot people for sport.

gotcha thanks lustre, guess i was a bit shocked, but i can live with it, not my modus operandi by a long shot, funily enogh the game i've been playing for 4 years has a design where spawn camping is an integral part of taking land, i've camped and been camped hundreds of times, after 2 weeks just this and no first person are my only complaints, both of which i wont lose any sleep over, apart from that what a great game this is.

Yes - some of them are possibly women. 
But it's a fair bet that they've got some deep-seated desire to jump people in a game because of a real-life inferiority complex or a need to "punish" people for some wrong they suffered in their formative years.

I don't gate camp (hah, like I could) but I see no problem with doing it.
It looks fun, it's profitable and it either discourages noobs from flying around your space or leads to PvP against better armed opponents.
1 day into the game, a friend of mine convinced me to fly down to Malden Heath to hang out with the rest of the corps. I told him it was going to be 36 jumps (I'd bothered to play around with the auto-pilot and told it to keep me out of pod-killing zones).
He insisted I turned the settings to minimum.
2 minutes later I got podded entering Ammamake.
Immediately I started mocking my friend ruthlessly for his "advice". 2 mins later, MH-Sec turned up in the area and a few minutes later, the Pirate was short a Tempest. All for the loss of 0 skill points and a Noobship on my part.
Lessons to be learnt:
1) If you're a skinny white boy, don't walk through Compton. The homies don't like it.
2) Having some people watching your back is what EVE is all about.
3) I now have my first long term objective in EVE. Podding the guy who got me.
4) Life is unfair. EVE is unfair. The only person who can MAKE it fair is you (or the MH-Sec gang, thanks guys).

Well I had great fun this weekend, trying to a hauler through the gate camp at ec-p8r without instas, I made it into EWOK, but by this time I had 4 ceptors a zealot and a buzzard on my tail.
I managed to get out to a belt and cloaked with still some armour left, and if I was sensible I would have remained cloaked and logged off.
However I was up for fun and my goal was to see if I could get through without insta's. local thined out, I thought waht the heck lets go for it, on arrival at the stargate a buzzard decloaked and I assume called for the ceptors etc.
This time my wcs was not enough for the warp scrambling.
I died and was podded due to lack of autopilot setup, but it was the most fun I have had in EVE for a while.
I am now free of my implants and gonna look for a 0.0 corp where I can have some real fun.

On the other hand, the fact that you didn't expect it to happen in a relatively unrestricted PvP game, which you knew EVE was, and with your previous experience with other PvP games... what does that say about your smarts?
I mean, you expect to be handled with care, and when you don't, everyone else has small genitalia?
Why should they have prevented gate camping? Because people are leaving because of it? Are you leaving?

And, don't pretend to know that none of these people are socially handicapped. If pirating players were smart and truly in it for profit, they'd go after ships that might actually yeild a profit and they wouldn't bother podding you.
There are pirates that do it for money. But there are also pirates that do it to stroke themselves. I haven't polled to see which is in the majority.
I don't dislike pirating, but I do dislike gate camping. It isn't because gate camping is bad, but because there is nothing better. It would be nice if there was some level of realism in the game. It would be nice if you could disable a ship. Once striken, the pilot could bargin, or eject, or self-destruct.
It would also be nice if you could forcibly escort someone. You can use webbifiers and stabilizers and bubbles, but you can't tow a striken ship.
Anyway, I don't hate gate camping because of it, I just hate that the better alternatives aren't implemented.
Oh, something that I do hate... people who use two accounts to snipe you. Why should they get an advantage just because they are willing to pay for two accounts? It is worse different than buying ISK or modules off of eBay. I can understand eBay because one might not have enough time to farm for good modules or mine for good ships. Why should the guy without the social life have the in-game advantage? But multiple accounts goes beyond using real world money to balance things. It uses real world money to create a tangible advantage.
If you want to amend the EULA to forbid eBay, then you need to forbid multiple accounts. If that sniper wants a boosting buddy, then he needs to find a player willing to sit there and do it. Pirating becomes less profitable like this when you really have two mouths to feed.

i am a complete newb to this game. just got on half a week ago. the reason i came is so i can kill other players and actually make an impact on them. Just wasted six months on wow where pvp is pointless. i want to destroy your ship, rob you, and blow up your stations. this may take awhile for me to achieve as I'm still flying a frigate with civilian modules, but i am eager to one day be just like that person who ruined your day. because that is the only reason i see to play mmo's. to be a complete bastard. thanks.
p.s. i know it is only a matter of time until i get a ship blown out from under me. i look forward to it, as then i can see how it is done.
go play a single player game.
thanks again.
