> [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > Ha, curious - does it mean that you always have to strategize to fight a lesser opponent? No not at all, though if you go into an unfavorable situation it rarely ends well. 🙂 It still can be fun though. 😉 Winning or losing doesn’t really matter, the experience is the fun part. If you learn to embrace even your losses you will not be restricted of the full enjoyment of the game. > [@How does one remain calm and not 'salty'](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-does-one-remain-calm-and-not-salty/332022/3): > > The best way is to change your mindset by realizing and if needed reminding yourself to recognize this is just a game, losses are part of the gameplay experience, the time you spent on your space pixels just as the space pixels themselves are meaningless and have no worth whatsoever thus nothing of value was lost. Think of it as reading a book or watching a movie where sometimes bad things happen but it is all part of the journey, just embrace even your losses, learn from your mistakes if there … > [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > real people behind avatars Who are playing a vid’ya game. If you get attached to pixels, take a game seriously and get offended by an MMO it is fair to say you either learn to let virtual things go or for your own sake better find a game more suited to you that you actually enjoy playing. EVE is a PvP game from the ground up, with meaningful losses, but still on the principle it is a game and not to be taken out of context, such as taking it personally nor as if it was real life, it is a game you play for fun and all aspects of the experience including losses are part of it, you either can handle this or EVE is not for you as you will only have a bad experience. In the end it is you who decide to take it personal or not and yourself are the only reason if you have a bad experience over losses and whatnot. > [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > moral code for online interactions there Which still will not change the fact shooting space pixels in a PvP MMO is intended gameplay. Unless you suggest shooting people in an FPS game is somehow immoral. 😉 There also already exists a moral code for online interactions in all games including EVE, the EULA has rules regarding harassment so if some behaviour is breaking any rules just report them so support / GMs can handle it just like in any other MMO. On the other hand if something is not falling under that and one just takes offence in getting his space pixels blown up then he is the one being unreasonable. > [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > That’s what it makes so thrilling - so far the most exciting part of the EVE for a newbie like me Exactly and that is how it’s meant to be. > [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > It’s like stealing from a safe which you found in a wasteland inhibited by hyenas You can do that in hi-sec too by the way… > **[Fishing in Jita](https://kherub.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/jita-fishing/)** > > A short summary about fishing in Jita. 😉 > [@Ogeko\_Nightwolf](#): > > Just I wish the probing business was a little less tedious… Agreed I hate that scanning minigame as well. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/halloween-fireworks-screenshot-contest/333064)._
