I wonder why CCP does not treat newcomers with more care?
I wonder why newcomers, who pay as much per month as veterans, are not given some protection that allows them to grow.
There is such protection, I hear you say.
Lemme recall today's events.
/me was doing a mission (lvl 3, Blokkade) in a Raven.
A player Davlin Lot'ze shows up in a Kestrel, and starts shooting at my target. So, I target him, to show that I don't appreciate his intrusion. I also invite him to a personal convo, without response.
Then he loots a container, and is all red flashing.
/me, upset with this theft, launches missiles at him, to protect MY containers.
In short: if /me (noob) does not fire upon the thief (veteran), the thief will get away with his theft.
His ship gets destroyed, and he flies off in his pod. Justice done?
NO Because EVE says: you killed a thief, hence the thief may kill you. An eye for an eye...
The thief (veteran) comes back in a fully equiped Scorpion (for PVP) and starts warpscrambling, and attacking me with T2 drones and torps. I stand no chance, and see my shields, armor and hull go down with each new second.
A buddy of mine, Drako Krakin, whom I had ganged up with, comes to my rescue, but does not get any killrights. Having his warnings set off, he rushes to my location, to engage the veteran thief, only to get killed by CONCORD.
He loses a HAC and precious stuff, worth in total: 550M ISK. No exaggeration.
In short: WHY are veterans treated to a win-win situation in highsec systems?
... Allowed to either loot containers unpunishedly, or get killrights to show up later with a hightech vessel, equiped for PVP, to kill the newbie defending his containers, and loot his ship's modules?
If you've been in a situation like this, contact me.
If there's enough of us, we may acutally sue CCP, for not treating all customers alike, by giving the veterans unfair advantages.
Unless CCP takes care of this noob bashing. My suggestion would be: if the aggressor who loots containers, and gets attacked by the owner, changes ship, he should lose his kill rights. Then all the bashing will become impossible.
agree 100% he did it to me to i was only in a ferox luckily, hes done it hundreds of times and yes i think kill rights should stop if u change ship, my corp have him a -10 now and hes a 1 man corp so if u war deced him u could kill him whenever ur corp saw him ;-)
Still its an old trick and i shouldnt have fallen for it and realy neither should u, imho.
