not empty quoting

This about covers it. Eve is meant to have very few boundaries in order to enable a viscerally competitive playground. That includes big fish preying on little fish.

However, there are rules against harassing new players in/near starter systems. In a limited set of locations around Eve, taking advantage of newbies is prohibited. I don't know where your altercation happened, but if you believe it to be cause for CCP to take action, please file a support ticket to get a CCP game master to look at it. The rulings are made on a case by case basis, so I recommend courtesy and providing all relevant information.

Good luck, and welcome to Eve!

This is why EvE's Population is low, just look at the morons chasing a new player away.

What are you morons going to do when CCP has to close up shop due to the population dying off?

To the OP, yes the EVE community is made up of mostly bullies

It's a dog-eat-dog world, don't wanna get eaten? Better start eating.

I've spent years coming to this forum offering advice and encouragement to players with a genuine desire to get better at Eve. This is not one of those cases. This is just another rant about how after a couple days of playing Eve, someone with an over-inflated sense of entitlement has decided that he knows how to 'fix' Eve....fix rules that have existed the entire time Eve has been in existence.

Nonsense like 'open PvP is okay....but' should be called out and mocked. Basically saying- 'the rules everyone has played by for 12 years are fine...as long as they don't apply to me'. I have no tolerance for that. We all came to the same game, with the same rules. If you don't like those rules then don't play the game.

It's not an insult to suggest this isn't the game for some people. If you can't survive a trial account without taking to the forums soaking in tears, then clearly Eve is the wrong choice of games. Thats why they offer a trial account. It's only going to get worse once you have something valuable to lose. It's not my fault if that honest appraisal hurts some gamer's ego too much to admit that maybe another game is more your style than Eve is. Nor is it the responsibility of the devs to alter a game from it's very core mechanics simply because some people cannot go a couple days without crying like a school girl with a skinned knee over the same mechanics that tens of thousands of other players managed to survive for over a decade. Eve is easier now than it ever has been...and still it's not enough dumbing down and hand holding for some.

Being extorted, scammed, or blown up is not unique to any one player- yet tens of thousands of us manage to play Eve without having to cry to the devs when someone actually engages in multiplayer online gaming..in a multiplayer online game. Don't cry when someone role plays, in a role playing game. Even if the role they choose is 'bad guy'.

What is insulting is the notion that difficulty and adversity is a 'problem' with Eve. For many players it is exactly this concept that attracted us to Eve in the first place. For many of the longest term and most dedicated players- Eve is a destination. It's where we came to when we got tired of swimming in the shallow end of gaming with kiddie games like WoW. If that's the type of game you want- there are lots out there to choose from. But there is only one game like Eve Online. If you don't like the game that Eve is...fine... but don't assume that your inability to handle the rules and mechanics is universal. Way too many of us managed to survive and prosper under those same (or harsher) rules for over a decade.
It's not the game...it's YOU.

Trolling or not, it doesn't matter. You should not tell someone in the new player forum to leave the game. Hell, you shouldn't tell someone to leave the game period. You should be ashamed of yourselves for doing so.

You are not superior. You are a person playing a game. Nothing more, nothing less.

Many of you should get warnings from CCP. Three warnings and you should be banned from posting in the new player forum.

Pathetic.
