Within the game? Yes.
IRL? You can’t judge people by their ingame activities if those activities are specifically allowed and no rules are broken.
and hunted by CONCORDE.
No, he’s actively hunted by the faction police, Concord ONLY respond when a crime is committed; neither are there to protect anybody, both are there to provide consequence for either a low security status or the commission of a crime.
Yes, as an official ingame criminal he is still a coward for me. It’s like in real life. You can do a bank robbery but than you’re still a criminal with no reason for glorification.
You’re a fool because you decided to do the equivalent of wandering through a city with 3/4 billion isk in a paper bag; worse still you did it in a place where X-ray specs (cargo scanners) are commonly available.
He took advantage of your foolishness, which is completely within the rules of the game, and has no relevance IRL.
Its like a pickpocket. For a good one the risk is very low. Buts its still stealing. I personally don’t like criminals
Stealing ingame !=stealing in real life.
I he want a fight with me - he should give me a PM. Then I can decide and perhaps then I’m the coward
That’s not how Eve works. You consent to PvP when you connect to the server.
5.3 SOME PLAYER JUST SHOT ME; IS THAT ALLOWED?
In EVE Online, any player may attack any other player if they choose to, no
matter where they happen to be. This is because EVE Online is essentially
a PvP (Player versus Player) game at its core.
7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?
No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be
completely avoided. The safest systems are the ‘rookie systems’ where new
players start their journey in EVE. In high-sec systems, you are less likely
to be attacked since CONCORD will exact retribution on pilots who attack
another pilot without good reason. But, for example, if you are flying a ship
with a high value cargo, a player may attack you to destroy the ship and steal anything from the wreck if they think that it’s worth the effort. Such attacks are known as ‘ganking’ and if the profit they’ll make is sufficient, pilots are willing to accept the expense of losing their ship to CONCORD and having their security status lowered for their crimes. So it will be up to a pilot to remain vigilant wherever they may be flying and be ready for anything at any time.
Ganking itself, and Eve crime in general are explicitly allowed.
As in real life, if you’re smart in your habits you reduce your risk of being a victim; unlike in real life the punishment for crime in New Eden is passing in nature, because a prison sentence isn’t good gameplay.
