Wow, you're stupid.
You don't carry $100,000 in cash around the bad part of town do you?
Ohh you wan't realistic comprisons? Ok ill give you a realistic one. I'm walking down the street with 150 million in my pocket, with police officers right beside me. Somebody shoots me, and the cops shoot him. We're both dead. Now his friend comes and picks up the 75 million that's left on my corpse, which happens to be 2 feet away from the police, but they don't do anything.
All CCP would have to do is make concord destroy anyone who touches that wreck. This would completely eliminate the stupidity of suacide ganking. But hey.. then again, this game was built from the very start to **** people off more then entertain. Hence the reason why there about as many people playing runescape as there are playing EVE.
First, as a relative newb myself (and only a partial Eve fan), I fully sympathize with and feel your pain.
Yet, before you leave the game, let's acknowledge a few things:
1) This game isn't perfect, and unfortunately, a LOT of people (Devs included!!) appear to like it that way. It's unfortunate, but so is life.
2) You are a newb. Does this sort of thing happen to more experienced players? If not why not?
3) With your new and painful knowledge and experience, a) would you do the same thing precisely the same way? b) What could I have done differently?
4) I dunno know, 2 weeks and you made 150 million plus!??? I've been playing more than 2 months and only have 100 mil in the bank----though I've probably spent 3 times that much! But, then, I'm not a Miner!
BTW, I took 4 mill and made it into 100 mil in about a month. My point is yeah, maybe you're starting over, but this time you're starting with FOUR MILLION!!! Things should go a LOT faster! Try to look at the upside.
5) Admit your own failures. Yes, *griefing* exists in this game. Nothing to be done, except learn to deal---that is make yourself LESS of a target for griefers.
If you can do this, then you must admit:
a) Putting ALL your money into one ship run was the SECOND WORSE thing to do playing Eve; and
b) The FIRST WORST thing was using *Auto-pilot* with everything at risk.
d) Less than two weeks worth of forum reading would have taught me the cardinal rule of Eve:
DON'T fly what you can't afford to lose; and, probably the second cardinal rule (maybe third or fourth!):
Don't use Auto-pilot!
BTW, you're analogy isn't realistic, because what you did was to run down the street carrying 150 million---buck naked! screaming ROB ME, ROB ME! Sh*t, in my town, NYC, the Police would have robbed you!!! :)))
From, one noob to another noob, suck it up and keep playing....
[Is Speedy Banana you're real in-game name? If you decide to stay in the game, maybe a little charity might be arranged. I'll pledge 500k and a module or two--what do you need? Anyone else?]
Oh, and look up the corp, Eve University, they help newbs like yourself learn the game. Probably get a bit more sympathy there.
Luck!
