Hi.
Congrats on making me and my second char My Joke leave EVE.
I'm sure CCP will be proud of you.
The less highsec players, the merrier, because they're a thorn in the eye of lowsec players and contribute their monthly fee and make CCP healthier.
Varia Net had only been playing like 14 months.
My Joke had only been paying 3 months.
But I did get some ETCs to get some nice goodies and at the same time support the further development of EVE, or are ETCs free?
I pimped a Nightmare with Core X hardener stuff,
so did spend 2b on loot stuff from lowsec. The people selling weren't complaining.
I didn't get scammed.
I didn't get concorded.
I didn't get wardecced.
But I and a corpmate did help a stranger on a mission in Laah, near Motsu.
After less than 1 minute a pirate Machariel showed up,
nosing and scrambling. I held out bravely, until a second dropped in.
In short: I stood up and fought, but just didn't have any chance.
No sign of Concord.
Well, why don't you get rid of the 'highsec and lowsec' as it clearly not matters anymore. Ganking is happening everywhere. It killed me, and surely kills others as well, who probably don't bother to post in these (hardcore) players forums.
To allow these gankers and griefers in highsec to force carebear players and their monthly contributions out of a game, is a bold move.

I quite agree. Its a pretty reoccuring topic, and rightly so. High Sec should be just that, high sec. A safe haven for those without low sec rating, those who do not wish to participate in PVP.
To have PsVsPs (Player ship vs Player ship, since CCP apparently considers selling items to be PVP) rammed down your throat by gamemechanic twisting gankers is enough to make you steam. That CCP completely ignores the fact that a large segment of their customer are getting exploited out of the game is just bad business.
But then, belief in CCPs ability to handle the situation is rapidly diminishing, just like the belief in CCP to handle their employees is diminishing.

So let me get this straight... you spent $300 on GTCs to buy yourself a single ship. Since you didn't get the ship legitimately, you didn't have all the previous experience to use it right, including the knowledge of high-sec mission pirates. And I wouldn't be surprised if you clicked "yes" to the "you are joining a gang with a pilot involved in a war" message too.
Looks like you learned a fundamental rule of EVE the hard way: NEVER TRUST ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW IN REAL LIFE.
And by buying your way to power, you learned another one: ONLY FLY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.

Please CCP .. pretty please: make a feature where people who click on a link in this forum are willingly contracting all their stuff to me. Please?
To OP: Contract all you stuff you have to me, no point in having it go to waste as you leave.
Cheers and have fun in WoW.

how do you think griefing in missions will be with kali 2? share mission rewards, team up? lol? smart people never ganged with anyone but their alt to run missions if they had a kickass setup.
now with group missions you're supposed to team up - and can legally be ganked by corp mates anywhere without concord and without killrights. so you're forming a gang in high sec, corp mate goes afk, wipe him out, steal his faction stuff, transfer to main, ca-ching.
or form a carebear mission running corp with the intent to invite people and farm them?
lots of ideas to exploit this... unless the rewards will be ridiculously high (which i doubt) noone will run the high end pve content.

if a pirate got u in a Machariel, you couldnt have been in highsec at all im guessing (who suicides a faction bs in empire for a crap insurance payout?), meaning in reality you were fair game in lowsec and ofc concord doesnt exist there at all so theres no problem here. Things happened as they should, were all happy.

If this was indeed in high-sec (0.5-1.0) and you DID NOT join a gang at any time, file an exploit petition. If you DID join a gang, tough luck I suppose.

You don't need to be in a gang to shoot your corp mate. You are and have always been able to shoot at corpmembers at anytime you like.
It was even possible to shoot at gangmembers of different corps for a while, without any war going on for any of the gang members. That got removed.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say in a way is: if you're afraid of stuff like that happening by your corpmembers, then you are in the wrong corp.

He could have taken loot from a wreck of the other corp as well.
Anyway, as the OP says "But I and a corpmate did help a stranger on a mission in Laah, near Motsu.", then it tells me he joined that guys gang and most likely a war target joined the gang after him.
Easy to avoid... if you want to help a guy in a mission, YOU set up the gang, YOU check if he's at war, YOU control what happens.

In short: I got a Ferrari with money I didn't earn but found on the street, I didn't do my homework and had no drivers license, and I wrecked it in a crash.
Sorry, you are not a carebear, you are just ... uhm, well, the kind of person that makes people think all carebears are fools. You deserve exactly zero compassion. Even more so since you rather whine on the forum than see how you erred and learn from the experience.
And this is from a carebear who is proud to be one!
Thank you SkyFlyer!

As far as I know it's got nothing to do with gangs or wardecs, concord just simply does not respond to things going on in deadspace... that means missions and or hidden belts etc. Not even in highsec. Working as intended.

Why do people equate so much of their in game worth to very expensive things? I mean, it should be pretty clear that in Eve, what makes something special isn't the billions of isk you paid for it, it's the chance that it might get destroyed.
For instance, if your Nightmare was totally indestructable in hisec, how special would it be? Every other kid on the block would have one, and much like WoW, it would become a /shrug "so what?" sort of thing.
So, knowing that this is what sets Eve apart, I just don't get it when people decide that losing something means their game play has changed too much to stand.
I guess alot of people play this game with pretty strong misconceptions.

Well - I enjoy PVP just as much as the next guy.
BUT - I respect people that dont like that asspect of the game. They simply play another aspect of this game.
This game SHOULD be multi sphered right ? Not just UT in space.
Well in that case if high sec doesnt work and Concord didnt come to assist OP - something is SERIOUSLEY wrong !
As to - whats the point of this game ? What ever makes you happy and enjoy playing ! If its missions - you SHOULD be safe in high sec space.

The OP was in a gang (no other way to help someone with a mission, you have to be able to get there) and the gang leader brought in friends who popped them.
This is part of the game.

Cut the OP some slack, please.
Yes, knowledge of game mechanics could have saved him, but this stuff is simply not important enough to CCP to be written down. Does it really serve him right to lose his ship just because he failed at forum whoring?
Common sense does not exist in computer games.

No. You should never be totally safe. If anything, people are too safe as it is. There's so many ways to stay safe in Eve it's rediculous.

So in 14 months you didn't make enough ISK to buy your ship properly and had to use RL cash.
You then made a nob mistake and got ganked.
Face it you're just not very good at EVE. Someone has to lose.

Hmmm someone seemed to say something here, and I'd like know if it's true.
If you join a gang with someone that ISN'T at war, and take loot from one of their wrecks, do you get flagged as a thief, either to them or their corp-mates?
Anyone know?
