Sometimes, these things happen, you get caught in a situation by a Pirate BS that you can neither fight fairly or run away from fast enough (usually running aint a problem for me but not always).
Said Pirate then kindly teaches you to be more careful/better prepared next time.
Now up to this point i dont have a problem, but as the title says, why do they then Podkill? If you are not at war with their corp, what benifit do they get from you having to pay out for a new clone?
What benefit do they get from there being X podkills in last hour in the system they are 'working in'.
Not a flame, i'm just curious as to the reasoning.

I'ts the corpse. A kind of trophy if you will.
It can also serve as a way to remove you from the local channel, to stop smacktalking, or to prevent you from disclosing the location you were killed at.
Or they just like to be mean.

because we are egomaniacks and need regular self estieme boost via podkilling 
...or its just fun (and the pods keep nice sound)

Maybe you're an alt, and your clone contract is at a station 10-20 jumps away.  Not saying you, or anyone else is..but, if you blow up a ship.. and he comes back in a bigger ship... you'll say to yourself. "it all could have been prevented.. had I shot that damned egg."
That's the best reason I can come up with, that doesn't involve flames and bad words that start with 'g'.

Orestes is now an authority on the minds of pirates?
Maybe you should write a book .

LoL, quick responses there! :)
I would guess its more the ego side of collecting the corpses then.
Reason i ask is my mate was running round in his BB, a Scorp then appears and locks him down so he couldn't run. He wipes away shields etc.
Now if a Pirate wants to make money at this point the better ones issue their demands.. X amount of ISK, or they demand u drop all cargo.. whatever.
This guy just destroyed the ship, podded my mate and wandered off.
It's just i couldnt see the logic.. all he really gained was a corpse and a couple of standard mods.. he probably spent more on ammo! :)
He must have just got a bit of excitement from an easy kill.. what was essentially no contest for no reward.
I dont meen to sound whiney or anything as was just curious.. oh well its another name for the list, one day we'll be big enough to start ticking names off it!

We have moderators from all kinds of corporations in EVE, not just mining/manufacturing corporations if that's what you thought. Obviously we will never reveal who we are as players, but how do you know Orestes isn't a pirate in game?

Orestes might do it for the reasons he listed, but I do it simply because I enjoy griefing other pilots.
Plus, you get the best hatemail from pod kills.

I've never understood the urge to pod someone you don't even know. If you're killing them because you don't LIKE them or because they are talking smack to you, then sure... give them a trip to the clone tank. And if they stay in-system in their pod to scout, I could see blowing them up. But podding someone after you blast their ship for loot? Why waste the ammo?
Then again, a podded player is more likely to post a bounty on their killer, so I guess if a pirate wants a big bounty as a status symbol (or to split it with a corpmate ) podding is a good idea...

Polaris are new forum spammers, they relieved us regular ones, the forum *****s, of duty recently.

kopite a number of pirates I've worked with didn't pod kill, but that number was tiny.
On the whole "pirates" are slaughter monkeys rather than pirates, and they will kill anything they can shoot at. Proper pirates will ransom your ship or your pod instead, but they are few and far between.

Hmmm.
I know I posted this once, but I didn't save the thread (Have we a search feature yet? ).
Pirates do not toll. Pirates prey on innocent, unsuspecting and defenceless targets which can offer high rewards. And they blow them up.

Also, Miz, that's the second time I've seen you admit to griefing. You are aware that griefing is a bannable offense and that the GM's might take exceptional pleasure at me forwarding those statements, right?
Thought so

It was normal during beta, but became more rare after release. But now we're trying to post a bit more again.

Thx for the responses guys.
Like i say I dont mind the pod killing.. i'd just like to be able to understanf=d the motives.. as has been said most of the podkillers are just in it to grief.. they get no extra benefits for doing it.
Why is it so many people get their kicks from doing what they can to spoil others enjoyment?
You think i'm a threat or may have good loot? Then hell.. have a pop at me and get me floating in my easter egg, but think.. what do u actually gain by podkilling before u do it.

In every encounter where I have destroyed a ship I try not to pod. I have had opportunity but since I realize that at the point the ship explodes I have won and podding the individual only serves to make their life really miserable. I try not to take things personally so I dont make it personal as well. Destroying a lot of really expensive implants and/or possibly catching someone with an out of date clone to me is personal and those who take delight in said are of low character plain and simple.

I think most of them do it because they have small *****es and pathetic lives--you know, they're either 40 and living in their mom's basement, or a teenager who's never talked to a girl in their lives--and have to make up for it somehow by causing others the pain and emptiness they constantly feel.
It's sad really. We should pity them and offer them a shoulder to cry on.

You keep on believing that, if it makes you feel better.
