Last month I was spamming the recruitment channel a bit and talked to dozens of folks only to get a couple of them recruited, you know how this works.
So this little guy in a trial account got interested by mining and I taught him the ropes: what ships to fly, how to properly fit his vessels to resist the rats, and kill them with the appropiate drones, and whatnot.
We made some mining ops
We ran a session of lvl1 and lvl2 missions
I wasted my time and isk doing such poor-man activities just for the nice feeling of helping a new EVE Online player. Finally he subscribed for 6 months. Yay!
It was all nice when suddenly, hey, I got this shiny idea:
How do I introduce this little carebear to PVP? What if I scare him? LOL
So he was trying his brand new Retriever - epic moment as he described it - he worked a reasonable amount of hours mining in Venture to afford it. Well I popped in belt with my Caracal and blasted his shields. Got no response.
I talked in corp channel and fleet channel. I loled. Nothing. AFK?
Suddenly his ****** retriever is moving aligned to station but the miserable was scrambled by myself. Still no response in chat. LMAO...
So as I consider silence as an insult to my intelligence, I decided to excavate the armor. Scary! Now the little guy decided to talk:
"WTF is this? Im placing a huge bounty on your head!!! This is not a joke!!!!!"
I loled a bit more and finally let him go in a perfectly white structure, only after explaining him he should trust no one and that this was only a demonstration of how harsh EVE can be.
Dude docked and dropped from corp, blocked me. I noticed he blocked me because I was offering some ISK to repair his armor... but message couldnt get delivered.
He still in NPC after 1 month. I think he really quited EVE Online. Waste of 70 bucks, LOL!!!I I have mixed feelins about this.

So wait, you recruited a guy that expressly stated his interest in industry, taught him how to improve his industrial capability and then decided he was a dirty carebear? Schizophrenic perhaps? They have medication that might help you.

You should have just blown up his ship and bought him a new one. I don't blame him for blocking you; I have no time for people who do things half-ass either. |

I'd also drop corp if the CEO started shooting me and then tried to claim it was teaching me a lesson. Especially when it's a CEO who was teaching me, but left that very important lesson until after I'd paid for a subscription. Especially if the CEO did this to a shiny new ship that took so long to afford.
If you want to introduce someone to PvP, start by introducing them to fun PvP. Don't just gank them because you felt like it.
In fact, I think you weren't teaching him a lesson. I think you were trying to gank him, failed at it, then made up an excuse to make yourself feel better. |

so.. you recruit some kid who wants to play the industrial side of eve (before he finds it's boring on his own) you take him under your wing, give him tips, pointers and fitting/ship tutoring.. then he mines for who knows how long to buy a retriever which is "epic" in his own words., then you try to blow it up?
then you go to GD and brag about what a badass you are? yeah.. kick that kid off his trike.. you are hardcore dude.. the baddest of the bad.

So, instead of profiting off him via corp taxes you decided to... what, exactly?
Hell, even goonswarm recruitment scammers do better (by a lot) and that is actually quite sad.

Yeah i joined this corp the ceo seemed solid. Turns out he was made ceo by the founder who was an assbutt. Cool guy had to do all this work while the founder acted like a 200% tool. Shooting new guys, ripping em off selling em cheap things at crazy high prices the usual.
So the idiot tried to shoot me on the undock but i had an insta, then he follows me around being annoying.
Had a talk to coolguy ceo, shrugs all round, he made me ceo and split, i got an out of corp buddy to move all the corp assets in many orca loads while the jackass slept.
See he thought all the new recruits had no hauling or fighting ability, so acted the fool.
His stuff was delicious, probably one of the few times a jerk directly paid for it.
OP has no imagination or patience, definitely not leadership material.

To be fair he probably isn't cutout for eve, but you were also a bit of a ****

He still in NPC after 1 month. I think he really quited EVE Online. Waste of 70 bucks, LOL!!!I I have mixed feelins about this.
He obviously isn't cut out for eve, you were also a **** though.

From how you tell the story it seems like you were doing a bad job of explaining the situation to your "friend". You mentor some guy for a while, then you suddenly attack them and instead of explaining that you wanted to introduce them to PvP and never actually meant to cause any harm, you say "you can't trust anyone".
It's not just what you did, it's how you did it. Unless of course it all went down differently from how you're telling it.
To create some balance here I should mention a case where a new player, who was bored out of his mind doing PI, got attacked in lowsec by a pirate and decided to pursue a career in PvP. As a result he didn't quit EvE which he was ready to do before being introduced to PvP in this sudden and unexpected manner. |

You're supposed to teach newbies that they can trust you, and only you, not that they can't trust anybody. Terrible move.
If my CEO shot at me I'd drop corp too. Why would I stay in a dumbass' corp?
I wouldn't join a new corp, though. I'd join FW and go PVP. :P |

So this one time, I got my friend to sign up for a trial account. I had him skip all of the tutorials, including the first one where you get your rookie ship and instead travel 18 jumps to me. Then I had him dock and told him I was gonna give him a great ship when he undocked. Instead, me and my 20 alts podded him bro! He was so mad he quit EvE right there! How hardcore am I bro! I was all like "L33T PEW PEW *****!" And he just couldn't handle it. And that's why I have no friends! I'm too l33t pew pew to have friends.

Great job at creating player created content.
Except you hurt CCP's bottom line.
Its ok we hate them all anyways.
"Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".
If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down.

Any newbie who is suddenly under attack will be quite busy with everything but... typing in chat. Expecting said newbie to reply to the OP's whims while being in a stressful is says more about the OP than it says about his target. |

I usually just cruise around high sec in my ganking alt (t2 catalyst) and look out for shitfits and young characters. So if I finally spot one I immediatly open fire and smacktalk them in a convo afterwards. Because youknow they should know that EvE is a harsh place and EvE players are assholes. Then I direct them to the forums and show them the number of likes I have and that EvE players actually approve of persons like me. If thats not enough to make them quit EvE I place a 10m bounty on their head. They dont actually know that this has minimum effect on their gameplay and is no incentive to gank someone. Yea thats my daily EvE life.
