Hi,
I recently managed to lose a Myrmidon in a L3 mission, so I buy another Myrmidon to fly back and get my loot...wierdly the 2nd Myrmidon does the same as the first...the screen locks in only 1 little section of the map.
I think mmm odd mebbe my connection, so I buy a 3rd Myrmidon....I fly 10km past the lock up point... ships fine....I warp away and come back 20kmn away...ships flying fine....I warp to the 2 wrecks now....screen locks up 45 seconds....dead....
So I page a GM thinking heh Im 4 months into EVE, 1 monthon my mission runner and they will recognise a bug if 3 ships freeze my screen in 1 location in a mission.
Wierdly the GM's say ; -
Hello,
thank you for contacting the customer support.
We are sorry to hear about your ship loss. Unfortunately we are unable to reimburse the ship as our server-side logs do not indicate that a bug/error within the game or a server related problem was the reason for your loss. This does not mean that we doubt your description of events in any way but I'm afraid it keeps our hands tied in regards to reimbursement.
Our reimbursement policies are very strict and we can only reimburse if we are able to verify that a bug or server error caused the loss.
We hope that you understand our position and that you will recover swiftly from the loss.
SO I reply - stop messing about I want my 3 ships reimbursed.....But of course they wont, this goes on for 4 days wherby I eventually tell them heh stuff it i'll reconnect my wow account, afterall thier GM's are sorta fair with u and there is now wai on this planet am I spending 2 hours more setting up another ship after the glitchy game kills me 3 times.
And their response LOL ;-
I am sorry we couldn't help you any more than we did, I will close the petition for you now. Eve is not for everyone many people prefer easier games such as WoW, as Eve is a harsh place. If there is anything else we can help you with during your time in Eve please file a new petition.
LMFAO
The only Harsh thing Ive found in EVE is the GM's, the rest of the game was OK, a little laggy and the servers seemed to drop alot but heh it was OK overall, im a mining demon on my alt..700m isk in less than 3 months
Anyways I will wish you all goodbye - I have played MMPORGS for 7 years and even though eve only has a few hundred thousand players I thought I had a future playing this game - the GM'S have made sure I have not.
Its now wonder tbh with these GM's the subscription is so low.
Adios

I am just curious what WoW would say if it knew it was called an easy game.
btw - is WoW easy? I only ask as this is the only MMORPG I play and refuse to leave. ________________________

Sucks... I'm new to the game and I have already had a few ship explode. So many wannabe pirates hang out in numbers near the schools, ganking lone n00bs as they are still getting used to EVE... anyway I know the feeling of loss well by now.
As I get further into the game, buy more expensive ships, and spend a lot of time grinding to get there, its very hard to lose a ship of value... especially if its because of glitching or lag, which I have noticed happens with some frequency in EVE (probably because of the sheer numbers of connected peers.)
Your end or their end, it was a glitch that caused you to lose your ships, I wholeheartedly believe you when you say this. Unfortunately, see it through the perspective of the GMs. How many "scammers and griefers' that EVE accommodates to would abuse that petition? I assume many hundreds have tried and failed.
If a game caters to the bottom feeders of the MMO culture, (griefers/scammers/farmers) then expect to get shafted if you're a legit player.

The reinbursement system is a bit harsh, but it keeps the subscriptions down. I find this as a good thing atm tbh. Can you imagine if there were 60k people trying to connect to TQ? ---

This reminds me of a certain Futurama episode. The brains attack and everyone is stupid, a train crashes, so the governor decides to help alleviate the problem by sending in more trains, which crash into the first train. Seriously, after the 2nd ship loss, you walk right into the same problem again. Nothing harsh about that GM response, its as simple as there is no evidence to support your claim, and they can't give you a millions and millions of isk just because you lost a ship. If you were going to petition, you should have done it the first time. I feel bad, but honestly, if you don't realise by now that you can actually lose assets, and that gm's don't just give them back because you said they should, you need to move on.

I agree
But if the game kills me i expect reimbursement, Id even settle for the first ship back - I told em - They wouldnt do this....
Eve was pretty kewl till this, now the Gms attitude has made it suck so hard tbh.
Wow i may not play your right, too many kids these days, but I gotta find some new game....

For those who missed the gm text, I'll give a brief summary, because it was pretty damn funny.
Guy: OMG LOL IM A FREAKIN NUB GM: Sorry, being a nub is not grounds for reimbursement. Guy: OMG LOL IM GOING BACK TO WOW GM: Probably a good thing, you clearly suck at eve.

1. LOST SHIPS
Please note that the insurance payout received when a ship is lost will be subtracted from a playerÆs wallet if the ship is reimbursed.
Ships may be lost during combat with non-player (NPC) pirates or police forces, player-vs-player (PVP) combat or by self-destruction.
1. Ships lost in NPC combat may be replaced in cases where a bug has been verified through GM investigation as the cause. Such reimbursement would only be done at the discretion of a GM. 2. Ships lost during PVP combat may be replaced only in cases where a bug has been verified as the cause of the loss. Such reimbursement would only be done after an investigation and at the discretion of a GM. 3. Losses caused due to disconnection as a direct result of a server node drop or an unannounced server downtime may be reimbursed pending investigation by, and at the discretion of, a GM. Ships lost due to lag or non-server related disconnection will not be reimbursed. 4. Ships destroyed by use of the "self destruct" feature, whether intentionally or accidentally, cannot be reimbursed.

You are not permitted to publicize any private correspondence (including petitions) received from any of the aforementioned.
I wish I could pay you in kind and post the petitions you sent, but sadly that's not the way society swings. I can't speak for the GMs. Never walked a foot in their shoes. But surely you can understand that we need to have log confirmation to reimburse anything. Otherwise we'd have to reimburse everything and that wouldn't really work.

I had a the same problem in missions. Most missions were fine but every now and then one mission would freeze eve. I finally figured out my sound card isn't supported by eve and every time I was shot by any blaster, the sound effect would freeze eve.
Works great with sound disabled now.
I never tried to get reimbursed, I thought, this is why they had insurance in the game.

What you are describing is your game client locking up 3 times on a certain mission. This could either be your computer or a glitch within the game client. If you had read the rules on reimbursement, you would know that neither of those is a valid argument to get your ship back.
The GMs can only look at the server side to see if there are any errors, not your client, so it's absurd to expect reimbursement. If they reimbursed under these circumstances, then everybody would claim their ship was lost due to a client glitch, and ship loss would be meaningless, a bit like dying in WoW doesn't matter that much.

Games are buggy :/ It sucks. I've never encountered a bug like that, but I believe you. Thing is, a) it could be a hardware issue brought on by eve, rather than an eve issue and b) sometimes you just have to accept these things and move on, if you can't, then well move on to something else 
You effectively threatened to quit eve if you didn't get what you wanted, GMs don't respond well to threats though I'm sure they get them all the time. Doesn't matter that your threat was true

Character sales make that not quite true, and it's only true in any sense if you're talking about "advancing" as getting more SP.

It does suck to lose ships when its caused by lag or game bugs and after 3 ships anyone's gonna be angry, But next time try to use some restraint in your petitions as GMs are only human performing essentially a more stressful version of customer service.
And regarding customer service CCP is fairly decent, try SOE or EA and you will know what Im talking about.

There are fewer skills required to dominate in EVE as say, any FPS game to date. I think its more to do with your SP and wallet size than anything else tbh.

No, it is not a must it is a choice you are willing to make.
I recommend, hanging out a little while longer. Next time you get that mission turn it down. Continue working on your skills and eventually you can take that mission and any other mission by yourself (lvl 3 on down).
Also, next time you take a mission go to eveinfo.com or ask in the mission area of the forums about other mission help sites and it will help reduce your losses. ________________________

If the screen freezes in the exact same spot everytime screen shot it and send it with any other information you can when you file your petition. Be precise as possible. If it is lag that is causing the screen freezing then you don't get the ship back but if it is a different issue that between your information and their logs it might help get it back.
Also, with the mission help sites sometimes players will say if they experienced lag or not as well as how many ships they are going up against. There were a few times when I first started I kept dying in the same spot everytime - rookie mistakes - usually it was heavy lag and it appeared as if the screen had frozen just before I blew up...that really sux dying in slow motion. ________________________

At some point, it's doesn't give you an advantage over newer players anymore, except that you can choose from a bigger variety of ships. Nevertheless you can only fly one ship at a time. I could rather need a few billion isk than 10 or 20 mil more SP and sadly my wallet doesn't fill itself, while being more or less inactive.

There are fewer skills required to dominate in EVE as say, any FPS game to date. I think its more to do with your SP and wallet size than anything else tbh.

Originally by: JamnOne I am just curious what WoW would say if it knew it was called an easy game.
btw - is WoW easy? I only ask as this is the only MMORPG I play and refuse to leave.
WoW is easy if you're familiar with the assumptions made in a typical fantasy setting. Pretty girls heal, ugly guys wreck. You want to be a Pally or a Thief, you know pretty much what kind of items you want to equip, even if you don't know exactly what they are.
With EVE it's a complete learning experience. Even if I decide the role I want to play is a role typified in the normal fantasy setting, the path to achieving that role is not obvious in the selection of modules. ----- TANSTAAFL

I added up all the damage i took and it was less than the amount of hps I had on my pod. I shouldnt have died right? well GMs dont care about this as they tell me they didnt "log" it and they cant reimburse anything they didnt log.
WOW CCP what a good idea to solve the problem of annoying petitions, If you just dont log anything, nothing is provable so you can just spam everyone the same "we're sorry bull shi.t" message.

I would rather see Lylz stay in the game than just about any of the people who have replied, tbqfh.
Anyway, the point of me posting was to agree that the 'we have no logs' excuse is just about the lamest thing I've ever heard. I've lost dozens of ships to lag and bugs but never submitted a petition until one day I got ganked by some pirates who had camped a station with cans. I undocked, got stuck, they warped in with 5 or 6 BS and tanked the sentries for the 20 seconds it took to kill me.
Long story short - "We would give you your ship back because that's an exploit, but we can't tell because we don't have logs"
What in the wide wide world of sports is that supposed to mean? Am *I* supposed to keep logs? Do they actually log anything ever? Or do they just delete them 'cos disk space is soooooo expensive these days?
I didn't throw a tanty and threaten to leave. But I've spent a lot of time since then setting up a trader character so I can pay my accounts with ISK instead of RL money with about 5 minutes work a day.
Seriously, if they only keep logs for like 10 seconds, the very least they could do is have a 'keep a record of what just happened' button so players can flag certain loggings as perhaps being worth keeping.

Unfortunate that you got screwed but how can you say the system is fail if you only have one instance with which to judge it by? And why didn't you petition the dozens of other losses?

Edited by: Disco Flint on 17/11/2007 08:44:27 What were you doing in that mission if your Myrmiddon can't even tank it for 45 seconds? And seriously, wouldn't you rather shoot the rats first with a tank that fragile before wandering off to loot?
And why try it again and again with the same approach that got you killed before and before?
Sounds to me like you either lagged or your pc froze for a bit, both problems not on the CCP end, both not verifiable by CCP. Would it be fairer if people got ships back they probably didnt even have in the first place just by whining loud enough? How could CCP know if they're lying or telling the truth if the logs show nothing? Would it be fair if only YOU got such a special treatment?
And be a bit nicer when you want something from people and you might just get a response that's not ... wait, you actually threatened the GM to leave EVE and reactivate your WoW account if your demands for a special, preferred and not at all fair service were not met? Oh damn that just made my day :D

I really don't understand people who when seeing that something doesn't quite work go ahead and do that same thing second, third, and even fourth and fifth time. I think the most blatant case of this was a post I read long time ago made by some newbie who kept jumping in a cruiser into the same gate camp over and over again and then came to complain on forums about getting killed each time. There was also that guy in my old alliance who kept jumping into different 0.0 pipe systems without scouting or checking the map, and after ending up in a cloning vat he expressed his acute indignation on the matter in alliance chat on each occasion. Then there is this guy who flies exact same ship into the exact same mission where the ship didn't work and got promptly killed not just twice but three times. Whatever they are smoking when they do this must be some pretty potent stuff ...

Listen mate. If it's sympathy you're looking for, you won't be getting any from anyone, so drop the posting and quit already.
1. You did something stupid and lost three ships. 2. You petitioned and they rejected your petition. 3. You were rude to them and tried to coerce them into doing what you wanted. Didn't work. 4. You posted petitions on the forum hoping for community support and sympathy. Didn't work. 5. You've posted repeatedly that you're quitting and yet you are still haunting this thread.
You have lost and Darwin has won, accept it and move on.

I've been playing for about a year, and I've played almost daily for most of that time. Aside from daily scheduled one hour downtimes, extended downtimes for patch deployments, and server trouble that tends to happen in the 24 hour or so after a patch (or a few days after a major expansion), there's been maybe 3-4 total instances at most of server trouble over this last year.

Leveling Improvements
Many leveling improvements have been made for the old world. o The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60. o Level 1-60 dungeon quests have had their experience and faction rewards increased. o Many elite creatures and quests in the level 1-60 experience have been changed to accommodate solo play.
