Much tears and crying

Eve is a great game

too bad a few bad apples spoil the bunch in this case.

Ignoring for the moment that you posted your goodbye post in EvE New Citizens Q&A - which is against the rules afaik - without even asking a question I'll take the time to post some remark since other new players might read your post and get a false impression of the game.

Yes, PvP is a large part of the game. And unless you are out there bringing PvP to others you'll often find PvP when it's being brought to you.

In such a situation, if you don't know what to do - especially as a new player - you can come here and ask for ideas.

And actually there's a lot what you could have done. I assume you were in a corp operating in high-sec that was being wardecced by some other corp. Especially as a newbie corp you could simply dissolve your corp and reform. The wardec won't carry over and since declaring war costs isk it's not unlikely that the agressing party would look for easier prey.

Or you could wait and sit it out. A wardec takes a week unless prolonged. It's likely that the agressing party would look for other targets if you and corp mates are not available.

Or do the unthinkable and fight back.
Get your corp mates into cheap frigates (everyone can fly these after the tutorials) and try to bring the fight to them. Find a single target and blob him if you can. It's likely that you'll lose. But it's also likely that you'll have fun in the process, feel the adrenaline rush, get your blood pressure up.

You could have done all this and many other things.
Yet you choose to come here and whine.
You shouldn't be surprised when people tell you to HTFU.

...
After days of trying to mine I found myself completely out of isk due to the actions of one corp that found it fun to target a corp full of new players and blow them up until they were completely out of isk.
...
I could leave my corp but I don't think I should be forced to because someone has too much free time on their hands.

Is there no one in your corp who has enough experience to give guidance on how to handle wardecs?

Mostly this.

Before joining a corp, ask them how they would handle a war-dec. If you get a blank stare, run away. (Or, alternatively, join and kill them yourself.) The first time I got wardeced, I got great advise from my CEO (e.g. put the members of that corp on your watchlist), and didn't lose a ship to that wardec.

Furthermore, if you are in a dust corp, are you then also in a FW corp? Perhaps that would explain the aggression you are experiencing.

Why would you post a goodbye thread in New Citizens, but didn't post a "can someone give me guidance with this wardec situation"?

And how much isk are you really out? If you had the right attitude, I'd bet you'd have received donations and offers of assistance that would have made the losses more than worth the experience.

His troubles are with Marmite, they've lost a couple of destroyers and ventures, hardly crippling.

Uhm. Not sure but last time I checked (rage) quit threads are not allowed here.

So newbies on trial accounts are not allowed to tell us why they are leaving?

Why would marmite wardec a noobcorp? I thought they wardecced large nullsec alliances to gank nullbears in highsec.

Seems I made it on time:

Can I have your stuff?

I'm a bit sceptical of the whole thing. Marmite don't seem to be the type to target newbies, so I think there is more to it than we have been told.

Most likely one member of the corp did something obnoxious and stupid, like post a "HALP SOME CHEATER GANKED ME WHEN I WAZ AFK MINNING CCP PLEASE BAN!!!!!" thread.

I forward posts like that to Marmite at times.

32. "Quitting" posts are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience channel.

CCP recognize that during the course of gameplay a lot of friendships are made between players and that sometimes if a player is taking a break or departing from the EVE universe that they would like to say goodbye on the forums. Posts of this nature are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience forum, and must be civil and well worded.

Well first off lets be honest. A reputable organization like Marmite collective really has their heads in their arses if they are declaring war on newbie corporations. Lets be honest, Marmite exists for GOOD pvp and shooting up trial account ships ain't exactly pvp. So shame on the utter moron who thought that would be a good idea.

That being said, if the OP and his friend's ever get over their collective butt hurt and decide they want to play EVE again, you may contact me and I will assist them in getting placed in a corporation that actually has ships bigger than newbie frigates and industrial ships.

Didn't he say he was still Trial? If so would explain why he posted it here.

Come back Bruce. I'll give you a free 60 minute date with Erica at a reputable highsec station of your choosing as a reward. Together we can discuss highsec war mechanics and the value of joining a proper corp whilst sipping some synth-coffee.

If you subscribe to prove you're of age I'll even bring spiced wine.

You can thank me later CCP.

[quote=Oraac Ensor]Mr Oraac, the patron saint of pulling forum rules when ever something is borderline breaking rules in his opinion, but when something is ACTUAL forum rule breaking he suddenly plays Mr. Innocent.

He posted here because it was the only spot where he can post to try and convince himself and hopefully others that it was the game's fault for not changing to his needs instead of just acknowledging that maybe EVE isn't the game for him.

I really love to help new players getting into EVE, but people with the attitude shown by the OP. Why would we even bother and waste our time.

Also, amazed how even though as pointed out the OP breaks multiple forum rules, ISD hasn't padlocked it yet.

They probably like to wait because it trolls all the backseat Mods beautifully.

Take it how you will which I'm sure it will get quite a few side remarks as all things posted of this nature on MMO forums generally do.

After days of trying to mine I found myself completely out of isk due to the actions of one corp that found it fun to target a corp full of new players and blow them up until they were completely out of isk.

No foul comments said, no attacks on them made, no anything other than declaring war on us and repeatedly hunting us down and blowing us up every time we leave station.

I know PvP happens but hell I would at least think things would favor a new player from being stomped by vets non stop just because they can.

Nothing lost as I haven't subbed and do not plan to. They won they ran off a group of 10 new players from Eve.


I'm not angry just disappointed I never got to flesh out and try more of the game but when you can't even leave dock without being blown up because of people camping you at all hours of the day well it just isnt worth the time.

I could leave my corp but I don't think I should be forced to because someone has too much free time on their hands.


On another note losing stuff is part of the nature of this game and I accepted that before I even made my account based on what I read so the deaths are the issue much less the total inability to play.

Well I wish you all luck in Eve and hope you had/have a better time in the game than me and my friends did.

First of all.

- "Griefing" NEW PLAYERS is against the EULA and can be petioned. So your fault for beeing an idiot and not petioning it to CCP ... this of course does not work while beeing in a corp with veteran players as they can and should protect you.

- Your own fault for staying with a obv. horrible corp.

- A lot of players. including PvPers kinda look down on these kinda people i.e. assholes camping newbs into a station 24/7 blowing up their rookie ships and then calling themselfes PvPers... It would have been easy to get help from by far more expierenced players. A majority of the eve community is very helpfull when it comes to helping out new players.

- If you are such a sissy EVE might not be the right game for you in the first place. Time to go kill some NPCs in Azeroth I guess.

You and your friends are obv. not a loss to the eve community as you prolly would have turned into some horrible carebears in the first place anyway :)

Seems I made it on time:

Can I have your stuff?
