Originally by: Kennedy Lincoln They wanted ISK which I delivered. They STILL pod'd me!
This is why i wouldn't ever give ISK to pirates.
Despite many of them being fairly ****ish, a pirate still needs a certain amount of honour and trust, people have to know they'll be let go if they give in to a pirate's demands, by going back on their word like that it only gives every pirate a bad reputation and makes people less likely to give them the ISK ransom they want, so in the end it's the pirates that lose out the most from that sort of practice.
Can't blame people for this attitude with all the 'oh lols' 'give me your stuff' and 'hahahaha' morons in threads like these.

Originally by: Kennedy Lincoln Ok. (1)I got pod'd yesterday. I'm 8 months on Eve and this aint the first time but (2)I want to complain. Is this the correct forum? I want everyone to know who these guys are so you can avoid them.
I was ratting in .4 system and a guy enters. I called out to him (3)asking if he's a pirate (.23 sec stats). He says no - it's ok to rat. 1/2 hour ltr a badass shows up and the first guy and badass tackle me. (4)My 1 warp stab was not enough to bail out.
Bolded what you did wrong and added an explanation. (1)Jeez, just spam the "warp" button when you enter structure. (2)Just live with it, ok? (3)Presume everyone is a potential pirate. (4)No, just no, and I'm sure everyone here would agree.

I don't think the OP is serious. He just HAS to be trolling.
In case he isn't, post screenshots as proof, we don't want any idiots ruining the ransom business, now, do we?
I mean, being daft is one thing, dishonoring a ransom agreement is whole different ballpark... but looking at the OP, everything is possible... maybe he payed and stayed around.
So again, proof or stfu.

As much as the OP is a complete fool for believing pirates, I did do the same thing when I first went to lowsec when I was about 2 weeks old.
I was flying around in my Vexor, saw 2 guys in local, one of whom I saw was a pirate (didn't check the other 1), so I sat at a safe spot. The pirate left, at which point the other guy pretended to be ratting and asked me to join him. I, being a noob, believed that he wasn't a pirate, and warped in to him... ... big flashy box on overview ... oops.
Tackled, and soon I was in armour with a thorax and a bunch of hammerhead II's hitting me. I was just able to tank him so long as I kept him webbed (yes I was out looking for a fight), and put my drones on his to keep them out of the fight. He was slowly going down, but then his friend from before warped in and started blasting me from close range. I only had 1 web, no guns, and a couple of my drones were dead, so I couldn't do much at this point. I soon popped, got my pod out, and gave them both a 'good fight' in local.
So yeah, that was my first, and by no means my last encounter with the local pirates in Everyshore region.
Also, as everyone else has said, I suggest you post the names here - dishonouring ransoms is bad for business for all pirates - I'm sure they'll want to know who to blame for their reduced income.

They STILL pod'd me! Ok I am not naive and will no longer trust anyone but I'm looking for retribution. I want everyone to know these guys are liars and cheats. I wnat to post their ID's so others will know.
Can I do that here? Where else then? Why is there no place to complain when some one is a total a-hole? Where are the good people? Why aren't the good people out hunting the trash low-lifes so it has more equalibrium in EVE?
In the world of eve there will be lots of systems full of liers and cheats. In the low sec and 0.0 systems that will say something and turn around and do another. If you see someone warp in where you are forget your cargo and just warp out. Your ship is more vaulable then your cargo. If they say we want isk and we will let you go never take that as a good sign if someone in a low sec system asks you for isk and you cannot warp away the only other option in that position is too figure out whichone is the weakest out of the two and target him first atleast try and fight back and take one of them out with you.

To all of the complete morons replying here, there are ways to rat in lo-sec w/o problems. I've ratted for months on lo-sec after doing some homework and practicing a few guidelines of caution. THis was the first time I was flat-out lied to b4 and after being attacked. I beleived that a ransom was a way out and now I know it is not. I will from now on tell everyone, everywhere I go: NOT TO PAY ANY RANSOMES. EVER. Screw it. To all the babies out there afraid to rat lo-sec, because you think you know more than I - I had 120mil ISK after only 4 months on EVE w/o a Corp. Suk on that!

Obviously, to say, "without problems" is untrue. Else you would not have encountered any.
Perhaps "few problems" would be more accurate? Hmmm?

I like posts like this that seem to make out they are really sticking one to the pirates by getting their ship blown up and podded.
"Yes you blew up my hauler, took all its loot and have my pod locked down and are about to pod me BUT IM NOT PAYING A RANSOM HAHAHA WHOS THE VICTOR!!"

Anyone who reads this forum has run across stories of dishonored ransoms, and pretty much knows there are only a FEW rp-ish pirate corps worth 'trusting.' With everyone else take the ship loss and strive to be faster prey next time.

Oh, if we're comparing carebear e-peens then let me flop mine out. 500M in wallet + assets after my first month. 10B in my wallet + 2 trained alts funded by GTC + a few tens of B in assets after a year.
Ratted once in .4 in a kestrel once while on trial. Lowsec is flyover country, not a destination.

As others have said in general you cannot trust pirates to honour ransom , but there are exceptions.
As I see it never enter lowsec in something you dont intend to loose, be in an empty jumpclone and use a PvPfit for your ship , or at least a fit that allows you to escape(mwd , warp stabs etc)
Ideally you should have a few cloaked recons waiting to back you up but for most of us that is not an option.

After 8 months you don't know any better? First you obviously knew .4 was dangerous, can you honestly say that you expected the truth from a possible pirate?
2nd, how the hell do you get podded in lowsec? Do you really not know that you can warp a pod almost instantly? In the future, pick a spot to warp too after you're sure you cant get away, and spam warp to on the overview, you don't lose your precious pod, and it ****es off the wannbe necros...

Well well well. You complete boob. The point of the whole discussion was whether a ransom was worthy of pyaing.
If you are a pirate - tell all of your pirate *****s two things: 1) More and more people will not pay ransom because it is not honored and 2) I will hunt you and all of your low-life pirate ***** freinds and pod you. Please copy down my name so you remember me so I can enjoy your loss of craft and ISK. I will enjoy it.

Snore. You and all of you girls and boys of limited experince do not understand my rant. I KNEW WHERE I WAS. I KNEW the RISKS. Iunderstood the circumstance. I just thought that once you pay a ransome you are free. I was wrond this time. Guess what meathead? I heard from the ahole pirate a few days ago and he admitted he didn't know I paid the ransom because of confusion between to the two attackers. He paid the ransom back to me.
SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND HOW INSIGNIFICANT YOU ARE AND HOW UNIMPORTANT YOUR OPINION IS. Eventually you will either get this or remain a person that doesn't realize how often people are politely avoiding you in social circumstances. |

Yeh fix'd.
Assuming basically your thread is based on the premise that pirates are evil and don't let you go when you pay the ransom, apart from it was a mistake, and he paid you back.
Sorry where were you going with this? --~--

So when are you going to edit your OP to reflect the fact that the pirate was indeed honourable and true to his word paid you back for an accidental podding. Are you also going to spread the word that pirates are true to their word and make good their mistakes even to a-holes like you? Are you going to apologise to the pirate community for calling them all cheats and liars? Are you going to try to resolve your disputes ingame first in the future before whining and *****ing like a little crybaby on the forums?
I doubt it. Anyone who fits warp stabs on a lowsec combat ship would be far too cowardly to admit they made a mistake. |
