You mean by going to my local asteroid field which is just a quick warp from the capitol, going out of my way to be out of other's way and earning enough breadcrums to buy a little ship that makes me happy?
Im sorry, but that is the biggest pile of assholing iv'e ever heard of.
Some people would like to play this as an elaborate screensaver. Something that's nice to look at and makes nice background noises. But no, we can't have that. We need twats that go around with some stupid creed, trolling for the sake of it.
**** this, im out of here. Seriously.
Wow...just wow. When I read your OP, I actually had a serious answer to give you. In a moment, I will give it anyway, for the benefit of other newbies trying to find their way in this game. But first, I will advise you, specifically, as an individual player.
This game is not meant to be played as a screensaver. It is a competitive multiplayer game. Just because you don't like that, doesn't make the people who play it "assholes" or "twats". It just means that this isn't the game you are looking for. People who want to play Tetris don't ***** that Super Mario Brothers is a ****** game with ****** players because it lacks falling geometric shapes.
I suggest that you send me all your isk, contract me all your assets, and unsub.
Ok, now to speak to the hypothetical reader who actually wants to play EVE. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, everything in this game ends in spaceships shooting spaceships. The only way to 100% avoid spaceship combat is to not undock. That said, many EVE players have long and fruitful careers in which they almost never undock, because the meta game here is just that deep.
On an individual level, you can play the game with almost no spaceship violence, though, even in dangerous space. However, you can't do that by ignoring PvP or hiding in highsec. Avoiding PvP successfully, in the end, requires many of the same skills as participating in PVP - being attentive and aware of your surroundings, keeping a suspicious eye on neutrals in your vicinity, and having a plan to bug out when the **** hits the fan. In this game nonviolence is an art in its own right, and you will do well if you treat it with that level of respect and try to master it. If you think you can just turn on your mining lasers and go take a nap, however, expect PvP to come to you while you are sleeping.
