You already can't read any overview about Eve without mention of suicide ganking or "griefing". Just how much hand holding do you want here Gevlon? I have zero sympathy for people mewling over losing stuff. Live and learn.
Or you could channel some of your goon rage into educating the masses about these easily preventable situations in highsec. Unfortunately, we both know it wouldn't make a lick of difference, and neither would plastering it on the gate billboards of every system or blasting it all over the TV in the CQ. There is no logi in this game for lazy ignorance. Disagree entirely.
The tutorials do a terrible job explaining the risks of being suicide ganked, and mention little to nothing of traps, baiting and scams. There is little to no indication of any sort of metagaming in them. It simply shows you basic game mechanics and prepares you at best to lose a couple more in NPC missions as you get the hang of things. A simulation of the player experience in EVE is what should be largely represented in the tutorials.
There are many players who do not know what EVE is all about before they play as well. Yes, many of us read all the stories before we dive in. Many others simply see a space MMO and think "what the hell". Someone with a wife, a job and some other major hobbies is only going to have limited time with the game. They will spend most of this time reading up on game mechanics and how to do things. There introduction to the metagaming will come 3 months in when they lose 40% of their assets in a T1 hauler thinking someone exploited the game against them.
If you don't think it would make a difference anyways, why even have a tutorial then? Maybe we should get CCP to just tell new players to use Google. There was a speech at Fanfest for the New PLayer Experience, and they specifically stated they wanted to adapt the tutorial to represent the true nature of EVE closely. Under that guise Gevlon's idea fits in perfectly.
