Speedy Banana	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:36:00 - [1] I put 150 mil isk worth of parts on my hauler, and auto pilot it to agil through secure space, only to get ganked in high sec by a few battleships while their friend in a hauler waited to loot my wreck. That was basically all the money I had. The idiots who did this lost more money in battleships then I had on my ship in cargo, but it doesn't matter to them since 100 mil loss each (x3) isn't anything for them. Now I'm left with 4 mil isk, which is like starting over with a trial account. I lost all the money I made since I subscribed to this game (2 weeks). Great way to keep your customers paying CCP. Would have helped if there was a warning somewhere about stupid crap like this happening, as it's not obvious to somebody who just purchased the game.

Phil Carter	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:40:00 - [3] Can i have you stuff aswell as all other stuff ingame from ppl who don't want to play anymore and start of a "i hate CCP" thread in the forums?
Mr Mirage AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:40:00 - [4] it's a harsh reality. I bet they had their BSs insured so they didnt lose money from it. you live and you learn ;)
Leonardo Sabrioski Caldari Leviathan Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:41:00 - [5] Edited by: Leonardo Sabrioski on 26/05/2007 01:39:56 sorry for your loss m8 although.... they necessarily did not lose 100 million each... 3x bships = 3((108 million insurance - (90 something buy price) +(30 million insurance)) price) So its around 12 million loss for each bship so they only around 36 loss without mods. Also, why were you autopiloting... this game teaches you not to use a flimsy autopilot system when carrying large amounts of valuable goods. Its no one else's fault but your own. Sorry but thats the truth (sorry for your loss ) Edit: Gosh darnit you guys post too fast - I was gonna be first ----------------------------------------------
Speedy Banana	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:41:00 - [6] Originally by: Phil Carter Can i have you stuff aswell as all other stuff ingame from ppl who don't want to play anymore and start of a "i hate CCP" thread in the forums? What stuff? there is no stuff left, because of game design some guy can lose 2% of his money and cause you to lose 99% of yours. Ya gee, wonder why only 20,000 people online still even after all these years.
DubanFP Caldari Four Rings D-L	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:42:00 - [7] also note that after insurance that's more like 20 mil loss for each of them if it was a tier 2 BS. More like 10-15 if they were Tier 1. Obviously they decided your loot was worth taking. Next time fit a tank and WCS. ____________ DubanFP > where ever there is a player that's getting too rich, wherever there's an industrial with too much loot, wherever there is a noob with too much smack we'll be there...
Leonardo Sabrioski Caldari Leviathan Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:43:00 - [8] Originally by: Speedy Banana I lost all the money I made since I subscribed to this game (2 weeks). Wait are you in Trial or are you Trial + 2 weeks? Oh by the way I just wanted to reafirm this previous statement: IT WAS YOUR FAULT kthxbye ----------------------------------------------

Gojyu	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:51:00 - [13] No offence, but I've learnt two lessons in eve that might help in future 1) Never fly anything you can't afford to lose (that includes cargo) 2) High sec space isn't invulnerable, if you have every isk you own wrapped up in a ship, if it's undocked you need to be at your computer
Sorum Daemoth	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:51:00 - [14] actually, there are about 180,000 players not including trial accounts ( dont count those like WoW does) and not including eve china. and boo hoo to your ship sorry to say, suck it up and make back the money.

No I think I'll just find another game to pay my monthly subscription to that is not built from the ground up on the concept of griefing people.

(sorry about the stupid comment, after thinking about it, I realize not everyone has tons of experience in the game). Your mistake was in not using the right tool for the job. An industrial is not the tool to use when hauling precious cargo through high-sec. Myself, I use a freighter or a transport ship for that. But, but, but I don't have the skills for those ships you say? Well, there are people like me who offer freighter service for very reasonable rates. One never need be in your situation if one takes advantage of the tools available to him or her. Oh, I won't be paying for next month's subscription either. I'll be paying someone else with ISK to do it for me. Best Regards, --Necro ------------- "Isk is cheap. Life is cheaper. This week, they're having a sale on both."
Speedy Banana	Posted - 2007.05.26 01:58:00 - [18] Edited by: Speedy Banana on 26/05/2007 02:02:00 Edited by: Speedy Banana on 26/05/2007 01:57:43 Originally by: Necrosmith 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.
Sorum Daemoth	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:01:00 - [19] if i were the police, i would shoot you first

Cammulos Magnetar Ltd Dark Synergy	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:02:00 - [21] Ummmm, could we revisit the 14day trial+2weeks sub=150m? How did you do this as a nub (excluding GTC sales, which is prob what it was otherwise)?

What's worse is the criminals insurance company filling their claim. Best Regards, --Necro ------------- "Isk is cheap. Life is cheaper. This week, they're having a sale on both."

I think some cheese would go nicely with the whining, but I do like the logic and reasoning with your above analogy.

Oh no! When I lay down to go to sleep tonight, I'll think of this and cry for you. I think there's games more appropriate for you on the Wii, check those out.

Stakhanov kleptomaniacs	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:08:00 - [26] Phew , the OP got me worried there... sounded like it'd be due to the dev conspiracy thing.
ArtemisEntreri Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:09:00 - [27] I lol at the gankers needing 3 BATTLESHIPS to kill 1 hauler
Cammulos Magnetar Ltd Dark Synergy	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:11:00 - [28] Highsec does not guarantee the immortality of your ship, just the eventuality that anyone who attacks you in highsec will lose theirs. Its a PvP game after-all, so... don't be daft mmmk.
Sorum Daemoth	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:11:00 - [29] if you kept playing insted of *****ing on the forums, in another month you will be making that in a day
Necrosmith Gallente Eth3real 3asy Company	Posted - 2007.05.26 02:11:00 - [30] Actually, in this game, it's the getting, not the having. It's easy to make money once you know how. Have the fun is figuring it out. But you have to realize Eve is a very unforgiving place, and people like it that way. This isn't Candyland Island adventure. Nobody is going to hold your hand here, and that's why the fanbase is as rabid about the game as it is. Best Regards, --Necro ------------- "Isk is cheap. Life is cheaper.
