> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > The only one here being dishonest is you… After doing the Tutorial and Career Agents, brand new players already know about NPC’s being in High Sec space… More importantly, you can’t get revenge on AI NPC’s… So new players are aware of NPCs being in high sec space! And how exactly is this different to them knowing about PvP also being in high sec space? You seem to imply there is a difference. That new players know about NPCs but would not know about PvP. Why? A new player will likely have seen one of many hints that EVE in HS does have PvP. For one, that big number top left of 0.5, 0.6 up to 0.9 could raise questions, which are then answered by any helpful player or tooltip to explain that this is how fast CONCORD will arrive to attack players who illegally attack you. In fact, the explanation of the name “high security space” includes that CONCORD exists there to punish illegal attacks. At which point anyone who is not slow would realize that **illegal PvP attacks in HS space are in fact possible!** And that is just one of many ways to get to know about PvP in high sec. Another would be when a curious new player sees the safety button and reads what that button does. Or when they ask in rookie help or their corp chat. Or when they read the tooltip of HS systems in the map. Or when they attempt to shoot another player like they shoot NPCs and gets explained that PvP exists in HS under certain rules. Why do you imply that new players do know about NPCs in HS but do not know about PvP? Do you think new players are stupid? ---

My first real taste of eve was ratting and getting one of those sansha drops thats worth like 90m Then I had my first critical loss out in null it was my maller, I thought that ship at 10million was beyond my wildest dreams. My corp mates laughed and gave me a stack of 20hulls after that I learned about my fitting mistakes my lack of situational awareness the imperium gave me 200 mill to fit them and we went roaming looking for that kikamaru. It’s not about the ship, it’s about who your flying with. ---

Still arguing if pvp has to go in high sec? Pathetic because it is already coming and there is nothing you can do about it…even the announcements in every channel on the list have only the meaning to slowly get people used to this ‘poison’…simply look at the subtext… Clear as ice what this should spark in anyone…excordium will become the ‘norm’ in high… You do not see or understand it this way? Well i would call this a job well done fc…planting a subconscious message into everyones brain without you even realizing it 😛 I wish you a happy ragequit the moment you realize it… 🙂 But this is a ‘YOU’ problem…you will rage because you will feel ‘tricked’, beside the fact it is -as i stated- clear as ice even now at this moment… ---
