I got robbed, blown up, scammed and lured into nullsec flying a mining Osprey within 1 week of playing.  
Learned a lot that week 😉

People will be fine imo

Would you have fared better with an extra week or two of “ghost” time to figure out how the game worked without being disrupted?

Your question is ■■■■■■ up and potentially trying to put words into my … fingers.

1. People don’t need to be protected from most things.
2. Less rules = better.

There are too many legal and social rules regarding human behaviour and freedom of expression in general, which lead to the situation we’re living in nowadays. At least one whole generation of thinly skinned princesses lacking self-responsibility. If you know 1984, then you know that that’s a great base for a totalitarian regime just waiting to offer protection and safety to all these people.

Guys, he’s trying to lead the conversation by adding things that fit his narrative.

You, for example, fell for it.

He’s _implying_ that what happened to Yarda was a _disruption_,  
which was not the case as far as anyone knows … not counting her, of course.

Why not both? ? Or, how about this one: would he/she have learned more or more quickly with an extra week or two?

Where am I leading? I think I made my position pretty clear in the OP. And, if I am “leading”, then what are YOU doing? Where are YOU leading?

For me that was part of the reason I kept playing. The first container I dumped for mining was scooped up within 20 minutes by random Badger. That dude actually send a message with a thank you for my “donation”. I was like; What just happened? and “You can do that?” I just laughed. Hard 🙂

So I learned about anchoring, sec-systems and jetcan mining.

What happened to Yarda Black was a disruption. Yarda Black’s reaction to that disruption doesn’t make it not a disruption. Someone disrupted his/her mining operation and probably a few other things.

So, push the events of that new player experience forward 2 weeks when the player knows more and has more material resilience and tell me: is the game better or worse? How?

No, of course. Unless you are defining learning in terms of SP.

I would say that @Yarda_Black learnt more from the experience of having their can jacked than they would have if it hadn’t happened.

What would stop me from creating an ALT and using this period of immunity for other uses? There are many reasonable protections already in place including a criminal consent flag on your console. Teaching new players a false sense of security and that the game will ‘look after’ them undermines the very thing that makes this a unique and amazing experience. Be whomever you want to be - how many times are we promised that and very few times it is delivered.

Just wondering, what is the ratio of ship loss due to triglavian scouts vs. ship loss due to non-consensual pvp in hisec for characters younger than 31 days ?  
Any real reason why anyone feels one is “acceptable” and the other is not ?

@DeMichael_Crimson thanks for reposting the eula, made me read it again, saw the new list. If there ever was a dev post about this on these forums, I never saw it…

Gotta love this constant stream of threads about how bad pvp is for “the game” and “the New Players”, otherwise you start to develop a rash with every new one. 🔴 🔴 🔴

I already showed that the time stamp was updated due to a change in the text of the article. How about you show proof of what you claim.

If you can’t look at the other information I posted (eg. the presentation from CCP Quant and his direct quote, or the other post in the forum fro Rise explaining that they’ve tried and tried and failed to show there is a problem (paraphrasing)), then there’s really nothing else.

Not just one thing from Rise, but knock yourself out with whatever crusade you want to head down. I don’t have any interest in it.

I know CCP’s views don’t sit comfortable with people that want to demonise pvp, but such is life.
