You are obviously more used to simpler, less demanding games. Perhaps EVE is not for you if you can't accept the nature of the sandbox and decry suicide ganking as 'pathetic' and 'disgusting'. |

And here, dear viewers, we have an example of the species absurdus maximus in its natural habitat doing what they are fondest of doing, blaming the environment / circumstances / others for its own shortcomings.
Learn from your mistakes and take revenge, use that kill right you have. If not good bye and good riddance.

Someone should make up a saying about not putting all your chickens in one box or something like that.
Also,
Tornado = 60mil
with guns like 70mil
so shooting at a 300mil+ ship is a viable way of making isk and valid pvp.
Fit a better tank next time. |

I'm not done with you yet.
Remember this guy? Your first kill. A peaceful miner, pretty defenseless against your gank fleet. Or this dude, peacefully hauling some mods for himself or his corpmates. And here's a noctis pilot, peacefully salvaging drone materials. None of those guys had a chance against your non-consensual pvping. Who are you to whine and complain that your situation is any different?
Oh but that was all in 0.0 where anything is allowed. They were fair game because they were in lawless space, right? A lesson that should've sunk in by now is that everyone in every solar system in Eve is fair game. You don't get to cry when it happens to you, you miserable sack of ****. |

It's good you decide to quit now because if you aren't able to handle the reality of a sandbox game like EVE then you shouldn't stay expecting it to change. You either accept that you did a stupid thing and rebuild,or give up and we can tank a Ganker for weeding out a weak link in the gene pool.
Either way don't act as if you "can't" continue to play as you can, but you are choosing the opt out.. |

Why do all these stories have a "I stopped watching what I was doing and decided to do something else for 'just a second' and when I came back..." in them? Seems with 300 mill on the line it would deserve some attention.

I bet you tab out to switch music when playing LoL too don't you? or DotA?
When you're shopping you leave your purse unattended in the cart when you wander off to look at shoes don't you?
When you're driving you probably turn around and dig in the back seat for a snack.
When crossing the street, you scoff at the suggestion of looking both ways and boldly step out, then stop to tie your shoes in the middle of the road.
Pro-tip: When playing the game, play the game.
Welcome to Eve.

Oh
Well in that case you should probably realise the kill was done for profit not sport, you had a lot of ISK in the cargohold of what was apparently a very thinly tanked ship.
It goes like this, pirate has ship that costs 50mil to replace,
pirate scans ships passing by, if a ship has say, 110mil of loot on board, there's roughly 50% chance of that loot dropping if the ship is popped. 50% drop = ~60mil, take out cost of ship loss, 10 mil profit for the pirate, plus he may be able to recover his guns/dmg mods further recouping his costs.
If you carry 500mil of stuff in a ship that would die to a 50mil ship you will get popped if you go afk for any amount of time, and if your ship aligns slowly you may get destroyed regardless of being afk.
If you carry 500iml of stuff in a ship that would take 10x 50mil ships to destroy, you will probably not get popped, as it's not profitable.

You're going to complain about having to go on another two weeks scrimping and saving to engage in more pvp, but you're totally overlooking the fact that while you're doing all of this, skills are training. And I bet you've seen the two-week plus skills. It's all about time. Oh and staying at your keyboard until you're docked. Then you can tab out.

Really dude this is a non issue and i wouldn't have it any other way. This is a game and in games you can win, lose or draw. It just so happens that you have lost and you have chosen to let this be game over for you. This is a good thing because if we were all successive in EvE and things went the way we wanted all the time, there would be no game.

Hey OP, you didn't lose anything.
You gained a sub-standard understanding that you can do the same thing.
So, find yourself a destroyer, fit a cargo scanner, and pop industrials like the guy did to you. As you noticed, there are idiots out there that just give their isk away in crappy tank industrials. You need a second alt or another player to loot, but a destroyer can cost about 3 million while popping an industrial worth 300-400m plus (yeah, I have seen a guy I know who should of known better to not have that much in an Iteron...he lost it a few months ago and is still playing). |

I understand I made a gamble, but losing everything I had worked for doesn't seem like an appropriate punishment for looking away from my screen for a few seconds. Its hard enough for a brand new player to make isk as it is, now I have to deal with people killing me just for sport?

ITT the OP got ganked and felt that everyone in Eve was a sociopathic low life who like nothing more than to collect tears & gank haulers, then people stepped up to help him out with advice & ISK/ships. He'll come back later today to find his wallet & assets have increased through others goodwill.
Looking back at the OPs killboard he's killed some defenseless ships, now he has become a victim and doesn't like it, there is a lesson in this if you look hard enough.
TL;DR we're not all people who RP at being bastards, don't put all your eggs in one basket, and avoid Jita like the plague, there's a reason that it's in the avoid list by default, it quite literally is Somalia in space and the surrounding choke points are full of pirates.

The 'real life" thing has to die (pardon the pun). There are no real repercussions.
In "real life" when we give a mass murderer the drip (or when the mob kills the bully, for those of you living in non-DP jurisdictions), he doesn't re-spawn with his bank account and possessions intact. When you wreck your car in the commission of a crime, the insurance company doesn't reimburse you. Those are real repercussions.
This is a game, and the analogy is crap. |

So, in real life, instead of being put to death for murder, the government just empties your bank account and blows up your car. ZING.

ok... so you got suicide ganked.
tornado pilot locked you, scanned your cargo, realised your stuff was worth more than his ship, and popped it.
this happens more often than you seem to realise. hell, GOONS spent quite some time suicide ganking ice miners 'just for lulz'...
but seriously.. 300 mil and 2 weeks, is nothing. it's a drop in the ocean.
my worst loss to stupidity... not watching what my drones were doing when a ninja looter stole from me then locked me up. he had neutral orca support (something i gather CCP are considering fixing) and swapped out to a slepnir when my drones aggressed. and i proceeded to lose over 750 mil worth of ship and fittings.
I cursed mightily, considered my options, looked at the insurance payout and cursed again.
then i bought a new battlecruiser and ran level 3's to make some isk back so i could get back into a battleship.
give it time, train some more, and then, even just runnng missions to make isk for throwaway PvP ships, you can make that 300 mil in a short time running level 4's. loot and salvage everything in the missions and you'll rake in the isk.. (or train up for an incursion ship and make ludicrous isk, if you can get past the 1337 wall) |
