I thought I had seen all the griefer pirate tactics until today, Here's the newest one to watchout for.
Mining in High sec, I was approached by a player with a sec staus of -.1 or so. He proceeds to start a conversation up about where he may obtain an item for cosmos mission he just taken. Being helpful, I told him that the item dropped from rats in the asteroid belts, and if he was patient, i would get some from my hanger when i took back the next load of ore.
After returning with some of the item he needed to complete his cosmos mission, he thanked me many times over for my generosity. A few minutes pass, and he offers to thank me with a gift. The wanna-be Pirate flys out of system, returns minutes later, jettisons a can, and warps off out of the asteroid belt.
I wait about 2 minutes to open the can (being cautious, but not cautious enough) and find a bpo and some other items. Not seeing the player nearby, i thank him in local, and take the items out of the can. At this point he warps back in and pods me.
Guess thats what i get for trying to make the game a better place for someone needing help. Next time someone asks for help, I probaly will have to just ignore them.
If you are are curious as to wanna-be pirate, it was Gindar of Wreckless Abandon (WR3CK), Triumvirate Alliance.
Save yourself any hassles or headaches by just turning them red now.

I'm not disagreeing in that fact that is was my fault for trusting someone I just helped out in the game. The point I was trying to get across was this.
For those of you here to test your ability vs all aspects of the game, I ran across a n00b attacking unarmed ships.
Turn him, his corp, and his alliance red so you can avoid this same problem I had.
How do I know it wasn't a player of any experience or ability? His fragile Myrmidon managed to take out an ever so threatening Mammoth moving minerals for 2 miners. Such a challenge it was.
Had it been a real "Pirate", I assume he would have at least tested his ability vs a frigate that might fight back.

ok your wrong....I am a pirate yes, but I'm not a d*ck. I may shoot 1st but if you take the kill well and ask what can be done to avoid it or even ask in general about the game I will help you.I had plenty of help when I started EVE and will give the same opportunity to others...but I'll kill em 1st. It is not my fault if they don't pay attention to or heed the lowsec warning.
Your short sighted view of EVE is what turns the commuinity iton a "yahoo chatroom". What just because I'm a pirate in EVE I am a jerk in RL. Get a grip dude.

Wow, you should have aligned before taking the can, I would have suspected a trap as soon as I saw the BPO in there.
Align, nab the loots, warp off and dock. Then wait out the aggression timer.
Never trust anyone when it comes to flagging and the contract system. Both are great ways to get screwed if you're not careful.

well dood i hear ya but you can still help the "new" people (this guy was obviously just baiting ya tho) with just avoiding all the ways to get you flagged aka shootable in highsec. next time someone wants to give you a gift, tell them to contract it to you or trade it at the station ^^...and your fine.

You know who I am, Aahz Zorin. I am responsible for any previous, present, and future deaths you have or will receive by pirates.
The only way to stop the deadly chain now is to send me all your ISKies post-haste!

I fail to see how this is a "new low" considering its neither new, nor out of the oridnary as far as ethics go in this game.

I believe this is why they allow you to trade from player to player in stations. You should have had him follow you back to the station you were hauling to, and just traded the item to him there. If he honestly wanted it I dont think it would have been a problem. If he refused, he's obviously just baiting you.

Frankly, it's crap like this that keeps me out in 0.0.
I can't imagine the haul of minerals was worth very much. And if you wanna kill mail, join a PVP corp and get out there fight.
Killing enemy haulers is one thing, doing lame flip tactics in High Sec? That's the LAME.

Crap like this is what makes Eve the most dangerous, hardcore and amazing PvP game of all MMO's.
You can't do this in any other MMO out today. The art of scamming, betrayal, the threat of all even in the most secure enviroments. The ability to put trust in individuals that matter.
True friendships, and true rivalries. If you're not careful you can lose alot of investment in Eve, and if you aren't smart in mind not just in the gear you have, then you stand to die in this game.
No game out there challenges the PLAYER as well as his character. Eve would not be what it IS if not for this kind of threat.
If you can't spare help to a new individual without being mindful of possible betrayal, then don't help him. If you find that a cold statement, then welcome to Eve online. For that matter, welcome to the real world.
