But it does leave me wondering, certain agents in [redacted] have made the claim that its people like me, you know, the ones that pvp, that are the toxic sociopaths for “causing an emotional response” and yet, they actively ignore the attempts of these carebears who try to illicit a counter emotional response in me by issuing RL death threats, curses, illness, cancer, covid, etc.

Not quite a death threat, but I’m sure people here will at least get a chuckle out of this one:

Gawd…if that’s someone’s reaction to losing a 823K ISK ship, they should maybe leave Eve before they lose a 30m ISK Moa or something.

On the contrary, they need to stay in Eve and keep experiencing loss. It might eventually teach them a valuable lesson that they can then apply to their real life.

I’m a weird, cringe piece of garbage, for saying that most of you are toxic. yep, exactly my point. thank you for verifying that. side note, it’s a public forum, i don’t need to always present well thought out, meaningful posts. However feel free to take your own advice maybe? aside from calling me names, what did you contribute exactly? another liberal unity, equality, tolerant fellow i see.

I could be misreading what you are saying, but what I am hearing is that you are suggesting that they learn to deal with the fact that people will take what they want. I don’t know where you are from, but where I am from, the “gankers” don’t make it home for dinner. I wouldn’t suggest any real life application here. Learn to separate video game role playing with real life. It has a function in a video game, it has none in the real world. The mindset that you or anyone else is going to teach someone something through a violent encounter won’t end well for you.

You are the one who is roleplaying. There is nothing actually violent about your ship getting blown up in Eve. It is more akin to getting a parking ticket. I can imagine that some people lose their mind in real life when they get a parking ticket, which would not be healthy behavior.

People loose their minds in real life when they loose a pixilated spaceship in low sec. I kid you not.

I’ve gotten death threats for pvping in low!

Mostly from entitled FW LP farmers and the odd new player that wanders into low sec and fails to carefully read the warning that pops up on their screen.

“I don’t read those! I’ve been ignoring it. Why would kill a noob? Because it’s an easy target? You’re so bad at pvp you have to kill new players, yadda yadda yadda.”

It’s low sec.

My personal philosophy, you cease to be a noob the moment you jump out of a starter system.

And instead of asking questions, or even listening (where I would be more likely to replace the ship with a bit of extra isk to get then back on their feet with a bunch of links on how to eve better and survive in low) they just melt down and issue death threats.

It’s insane.

They give you death threats and whatnot just for shooting the rats in a hisec anomaly they were there before you’ve arrived.

(Too lazy to find the link to my related post but that’s the sum of it.)

OMG! I forgot about that!

Jumping into a combat anomaly and sniping the loot drop out from under them, or more infuriating to them, ninja looting it!

I used to do that, back in my ninja salvaging days\*

\*which, TBF are still here, but only when I want to switch things up.

Uggh. This game really isn’t for some people.

Also, I’ve been meaning to Eve-mail, and get the low down on how to pick up some of your kill right contracts. Something that I haven’t done but would like to try.

- Run a locator on them.
- Get to the same grid as them.
- Click their ship so it is shown as the selected item which will show a crosshair icon through which you can activate the killright.
- Lock them then activate killright and scram them immediately once they become suspect due to the activation.
- Pew pew them.

That’s it. 😉

I’ve had someone curse at me for mining ‘their’ asteroid. Never mind that they’d just sucked the entire belt clean with their Orca and I was just in my piddling Venture. Next time this happens I’ll be giving Aiko’s crew co-ordinates.
