hey everyone,
before i started playing eve, i have been reading a lot about eve.
in general, eve is considerd one of the most harsh games out there.
i'm wondering if we can get a threadnaught going on, disproving eve as a very mean and harsh game.
Because even after encountering scammer number 9213 or awoxer number 4527, there are random acts of kindness in eve.
so please, post here your experience with random encounters of kindess, which can reach from an pirate honoring a ransom, to someone helping you out form day 1.
lets hope people read this, and that it can help people find their way in eve, and its harsh, but sometimes very pleasant community. |

I was about 200M from plex when a mate from the swe-chat sent me 350M, I would have bought game time if I would get my money earlier this week but he saved me the trouble of not spending a week without eve. |

let me tell one of my encounters.
i was planning on going to nullsec, but really really low on isk, so i couldnt buy the dominix i wanted for ratting, one of the people in an incursion community i run with, asked me what i wanted, and give me the money not for a normal domi, but for a navy one.
also, 1 time in dodixie, i was there for shopping and 1 guy randomly handed out millions of isk to people in local, some people recivied 500 million, some 400 mill, but everyone got something from the guy. |

That's SO unfair! :O
No matter if I talked about giving kindness,
or receiving kindness ...
... it'd get me banned! :(

Those people are not being nice.

I had been playing EVE maybe 2-3 weeks. I was pecking away at some Veldspar using an industrial, this was way before Ventures came along. All of a sudden... whoosh!!! Rawr!!! bright orange beams from a Hulk, didn't know at the time what one was, shot over my nooblet head. Scared the **** out of me at first. I then convoed the pilot of the ship asking what kind of ship he was flying. He told me then proceeded for a few cycles of mining some ore for me. I would eventually have a Hulk of my own, but now I have forever left the carebear way of life behind.
I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen. |

Uhm
NO
Before the Venture the way to mine was using racial frigates bonused to mining (ooh, good old Bantam mining).
If you mined with an industrial you were just doing it wrong.

Agent Blizzard. Will never forget the name. Guy gave me 2 million isk during my first week of eve along with some advice on how to spend it. For me at the time, that was a LOT of money.
Since then that character hasn't been active in ages as far as I can tell, but if he ever comes back, I'll return the favor. |

I think I do. Thus my w0t.
My random act was less than 2 weeks into Eve during Revelations II. I fell in love with the Hurricane. Someone from UoC noticed my interest, tossed me 50mil, and only asked that I pay it forward.
I never forgot that, and to this day I do the same thing he did for me.

Every single time I convo'd someone who had just killed me, I got advice, fits, even corp invites.
I also noticed that the kindest dudes tend to be the ones with the most impressive killboard. |

The kindest thing you can do in EVE is be harsh early. Dash their hopes when they were barely there in the first place, so later they can be wary and avoid it happening when they truly have something to lose.

After playing EVE for a couple months I decided to try my hand at some pvp so i went to a low sec "island" near where I did missions. Jump in in a rifter and started flying around. Tried to fight a guy in an Atron but he warped off.
I warped to a station at zero and was just sitting there when a freaking BRUITX landed on me. I was zoomed in (as noobs tend to do) so seeing the Brutix up close next to my Rifter was almost like a Scene out of JAWS where the Great White was about to chomp on a guy lol.
And i did get chomped on. I warped off and the brutix guy in local told me to dock in the station. I did and he gave me all my loot plus 10 million isk (a fortune to my noobish self lol) and said 'good fight'. He didn't have to do that and i don't think I'll ever forget it. |

Just because eve is harsh and unforgiving doesn't mean it can't also have a good community.
The EVE community has always amazed me with its capability to (usually) separate in-game animosity and real-world good times. Those guys who ganked your freighter? They're having a pub meetup and you're more than welcome to come and party.

No, this was one of the options, although it was primarily the AFK way to mine if you couldn't get in a proper exhumer. So, in the sense that he was actually paying attention long enough to notice the Hulk in the belt with him, he was doing it wrong.
Now adays, with CODE., you just don't do this. |

call me crazy for it, but i still mine in a battlship sometimes, 8 t2 mining lasers, 3`upgrades in the low, and a bigger tank then any exhumer, also, 5 medium drones, works fine, you only got to stay within 2km from the orca and drop it in the orca at the end of every cycle, works better then retrievers/humers/barges.
but back to topic i geuss XD |

A few months after I started playing EVE, I was carebear mining in Poinen I think and was taking some damage from rats. There was this small mining fleet minding it's own business taking care of the rats in the belt when I notice this hulk had locked me. Having no pvp experience, my heart went into high gear and I started to align to station when I noticed I'm taking no damage and my shields have been completely repaired. I didn't know about repper drones. I messaged the guy and thanked him for his kindness and after a bit of chatting I joined my first player corp.
A few weeks ago I was looking for and running data/relic sites in whatever nullsec systems I wondered into. I notice the only other person in the system strikes up a conversation in local. After a bit of chatting I realize he doesn't visit the forum often, if ever. He was a newer player so I can't blame him for that. The reason I say that is because he was complaining about the old loot spew mechanic. So, I explained the new mechanics to him. He did want to join me but when flying a Buzzard with no defense, I tend to fly alone. He was a friendly enough guy so I helped him out by giving him some pointers when exploring 
I have more stories but two should be enough.

I provide random acts of kindness all the time. I show CEOs what they are doing wrong in recruitment, and miners that they should get a permit and follow the CODE, What is more kind then that? |

When I had just started in EvE, I decided to do some courier contracts to earn some hard needed Isk. After a few days going back and forth in Domain and The Forge, I had made 20 million+
So I decide to do a 'bigger' contract. (Mind you, 20 mill was a lot of Isk for me then)
Amarr > Jita 600k Isk with a 18 mill collateral, not bad! Not bad till BOOOM that was.......
Only moments after failing the contract I got a covo from the contract issuer. I explained what happened, and apologised for not completing the contract.
Next thing I know he had set up a contract to me for a brand new (better)fitted Sigil and 18 million Isk. He also send me a rather long mail on fitting hauler ships, how to plan routes, how to avoid getting blown up and a lot of other good advice.
Needless to say I was a bit stunned at that time as he had just given me 18 million Isk and tanked hist lost cargo.
I have 'paid' him back several times by doing the same kind of thing, give new players a slight isk/goods boost and advice when they cross my path, as I have never forgotten I was helped the same way when new.

I was doing pretty fine, running L4s in a faction-and-deadspace fit Tengu. I had just spent my last bit of ISK on a PLEX for gametime, so I was rushing the missions and got careless.
I managed to derp a Blood Raiders mission and lost my Tengu.
A guy pointed me towards the FC of TVP's fleet and he and the FC got me into a Drake and in fleet doing stuff. The fleet was awesome and sent me enough ISK to get into a Raven, and I managed to earn a Nightmare in no time. Without that guy I wouldn't be playing now. |

There's this really nice lady I've met in Jita on sunday.
She's really nice, but shy.
I'll be really kind to her today. (:
I think she misses that a lot!
I'll make it feel real, I promise. ;)
I thought this belongs here,
because it's an act of kindness. (:
