I have been playing off and on for a bit over 5 months. I did join a corp early on, and soon after I joined we were war decced. I lost almost everything I owned and so did the corp because we were smaller and could not outnumber the corp that WD'D us. I became frustrated because there was no way for me to gain the ISK I needed to keep buying ships and gear just to play the game. SO at that time I set a long skill and quit because there was no way for me to play the game in any enjoyable fashion.
After a few months I decided to re-activate my account and try again. I log in and find the Corp I had originally joined had disbanded. Why? I am betting that is was from the war dec and non stop griefing.
Since I was shifted back into an NPC corp I have re-established my self. I have several ships from a Retriever to a Brutix plus several in between. Something I NEVER could have done while being war decced. I have lost a few ships since coming back, because I went ratting and Mining in Low sec. But I had enough resources that it did not hurt nearly as bad as the first time I played.
I have been looking into joing a Player run corp. But the problem is I have just over 1 million SP. But most of the player run corps you so badley want me to join, have a requirment of 5 million sp or more. So it will be me having to create my own one man corp and start recruiting. Can my Dinky lil' corp move out to 0.0 where you want me? No i would never survive out there. Oh wait, I can stay in High Sec and be war decced by some other larger, bored to hell, I wanna grief some smaller corp, corperation and yet again lose everything I have worked towards in this game.
What will happen if I say anything on the forum about it, I will get flamed by the great unwashed PvP hordes and told to go play some Carebear game if I can't take it. But golly gee the OP says that since I have been playing the game for 5 or 6 months I should have to go to a corp so he and his fellows can War Dec me and kill me in High Sec space, because apparently he can't survive in Low sec/0.0 space and has to come hunting in high sec.
I would gladly work for a corp that will not dictate to me how I am to play. If they need me for a mining op, sure, if they need me for a combat Op that's fine too. But tell me what I have to learn as far as skills go, or how long/when I need to play, then screw that. I PAY to play this game. The direction my character goes is up to me, not some high handed CEO.
I don't mind losing a ship now and then, heck it adds excitment when I am fighting for my in game life. But to be repeatedly blown up/podded and harassed so I cannot even leave a station, just so someone else can get thier jollies, screw that too. If you force Players to do something they do not want to do or make the game into a grief fest you will do nothing but cause the player base to dwindle to the point that CCP cannot afford to keep the game going.
I do not mind PvP, I don't want to do it every time I log in, but by forcing me into a situation where I will constantley be hunted and have no chance to get ahead in the game I and others will indeed quit.
