Whenever I get BPC's from data/relic sites, I usually just give them away to whoever is in the system. Also, I tend to sell whatever I find from them, or loot from combat sites/escalations at vastly lower prices at my corporation's namesake for the benefit of those that live in the North Forge. |

I often reimburse new players if I've killed them, providing they don't rage. More appreciation of good sportsmanship and a willingness to fight than kindness. |

Shortly into my career, I was too impatient to keep mining to get money for a Mining Barge so I asked for a loan and got trolled for it. I then was given 100mil (out of pity it seemed) to invest in some equipment. It took me a while after but I did repay my debt even though they said I did not have to.
There was also this one time where a newbie was mining with two mining drones and he warped off without them. When he returned, I gave him two of my backup Hob I and two Hob II from my bay. I then proceeded to convince him that mining drones were practically useless.

During the EVE Down Under PVP tournament last year where I honoured the goon tradition of losing in the first round, I noticed that the rookie system we used was full of Exhumers sucking up all of the tiny amounts of ore available. This isn't really a new thing that I noticed, it was happening when I started playing EVE many years ago. This started a monthly tradition for me where I visit each rookie system with a ganking dude & destroy the Exhumers of these despicable people. New players should have the opportunity to try out EVE's most boring, yet most needed profession without having to travel all over the place.
This is my random act of kindness to people.

I've been known to drop a random 100mil on confirmed, actual newbies. It's always the ones who have a good outlook on EVE, and seem like they'll stick around.
About a week ago, I dropped a Tengu hull on some guy who made a passing remark about just finishing his -gu skills, but not being able to afford the ship. It was cluttering my Jita hanger, and I never go to Jita.

Last I heard, he's still puttering around in it.
I recommend everyone chill in Help at times, find newbies with good attitudes, and drop piles of ISK on them. It's an old tradition that's sadly dying out among the general EVE population. I hear Goons still do it to their newbees, for being cute.

I was a clueless noob trying my luck in low sec ratting. Ofcourse I got instantly killed by some guy that come out of nowhere. I was pretty sure he will pod me.
Instead he gave my all that was left in my wreck back, and told me much useful things about pvp and low sec. Pretty nice guy. |

I lent a fellow in E-Uni chat 8 million for a transaction he was short for. He stuck 40 in my account a day later.
At the time I was running dangerously low on funds, since I liked the process of mining ore (primarily for the planning, the danger involved, and the paranoia), but didn't much enjoy hauling or selling it (in my mind, who'd want to blow up a ship carrying a bunch of rocks?). Yep, broken logic.. but that's me.

Well I just got back into the game 2 days ago, and so far there's been a ton of kindness heading my way amid all the explosions.
First instant of kindness: I've gotten my first pvp loss under my belt, I go to Amamake in an Atron and head to the sun, I double click in space and drift away slowly while practicing finding objects with the D-Scanner. A few minutes later I (finally) notice a guy in a Tristan about 200 + km away from me. There was a sort of silent consensus that yes, this fight is going to happen. So we drift towards each other at a snail's pace, I type in dramatic sounding sounds into local in anticipation and, finally, we are in range of each other.
I got torn to pieces in seconds, I laughed at the ridiculousness of the situation and talked a bit with him, he ended up giving me advice, and 5 million ISK, which was 10 more Atrons for me to lose.
I got a far larger donation of 50 million from a really cool dude earlier today after he vaporized my newer Atron with his rockets. Later I chimed into a conversation in Rens local and ended up getting more isk, a stack of Rifters and some destroyers.
So yeah, I've subbed and am really excited to be back in New Eden. Despite this being a harsh game, people are freaking awesome here. Down the line I hope I can do the same for another newbie.

I remember one time where i was running the SOE epic arc, and could not for the life of me, break the tank of this one NPC cruiser in my dinky cheap-fit Catalyst due to low skills. Every time i go to fight it, I get wrecked. So I asked for some help with it offering a bounty, and some random person came in and helped me for free and just left. |

It was my first month in EvE, a time of wonder, fear, and excitement for what was beyond the initial beginning.
I knew that all great stories have humble starts, so I took my place beside thousands of other players mining hoping to make enough ISK to begin their journey through the large and scary universe which is New Eden.
So, there I was, a simple miner who had made a decent profit and was well onto his way of becoming very wealthy for that period of a players life. I usually just listened to music and chatted in certain channels about a bit of this and that, nothing really important or relevant. I see the Local tab blinking, and I decided to click on it out of curiosity, due to the fact even though the system I mined in had around twenty people, it was relativity quiet, occasionally a capsuleer asking for assistance with rats. Much to my surprise, there was an actual conversation going on, but from skimming the logs briefly, I quickly realize that this was not a simple conversation, it was multiple miners repeatedly ganking and harassing a noobie who only wanted to make his humble beginning as well.
I was enraged, not knowing what this poor person had done to warrant such treatment. I decided to do what was best, I said in local "You are breaking rules, please stop harassing that miner and just go on your way or I may be forced to report you." Now as I was a newbie, I expected that if I reported someone there would be consequences for the harassers. Apparently they thought the same thing, and after a few rude words left the system. I convo'd the poor miner and talked to him about ways he can prevent things such as that from happening again, and what to do if it actually did happen once more.
After a brief conversation, I realize that he was all out of ISK, not even enough to purchase another venture, much less a fit. He informed me that he had the skills to fly a barge, but was upset because at his current rate of things, he believed that he would never be able to afford one. I was sad for the poor miner, and from an impulsive decision, traded him my retriever plus isk to replace any equipment he couldn't use yet. I told him I was off for the night, and that I would check back in on him in the morning.
I woke up to 20,000,000,000 ISK from the very same character, plus a mail that, summarized briefly, informed me that the person was looking to reward those who did good in EvE, and that I was a prime example of the person he wished that all people could be more like.
(I have heard rumors that the very same character has done this multiple times to multiple people.) |

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.
a) 1 week old Nami jumps in wormhole - gets blown up by Tengu. Tengu sends me 5 mils "Buy a new-ship, stay out of wormholes"
b) Nami loses Astero to a-hole Guristas, comes on forums and asks the Yule Lads to give many a Carbon piece to Guristas for Christmas. Communitu sympathizes and sends Nami 3 new Asteros plus a Guristas Shuttle. (2 of the are still warping arround, namely the Columbia and the Discovery - the community-request-named "Damn The Guristas" died to a ceptor in Low)
c) Guy quits EVE and gives his stuff away per request - Nami asks if he has anything he can spare, receives 400 mils (didnt read Bio or anything :P )
d) Nami receives 1 ISK as donation to show support for her crazy plan to buy a Nestor (only 1 299 999 999 ISK left to go)
I don't think "kindness" is the word - more like civilized, friendly and helpful if you prove to have 2 functioning neurons and don't act like the whole New Eden is entitled to you!
People in EVE are willing to help if you're willing to at least try to play this game.

When i first started playing some guy gave me 5-10 mill and that really helped me get going. Later on another guy let me borrow his raven navy issue and run lvl 4s with him which was pretty awsome at the time because i was pretty broke and my income was a lot slower than it is now. I paid it forward by giving an new alliance member 400m after he lost everything in a war. |
