I gave EVE a try --cannot recommend to new players

Solstice,
you are mistaken about what BDSM is about, that could be part of your problem…

Hey, you might know who this is?
She was arguing like this one and always put the first name at the beginning.

Maybe I just need to search for Solstice… lol

The funniest thing about this whole argument? A true “new player” wouldn’t care if they lost their corvette and pod - they instantly respawn in a new corvette and pod.

Solstice,
ahh, so you make a habit of making assumptions, and operating on the assumptions without knowing the true situation, so noted…

I think you are right

Xeux,
your logic doesn’t follow…
a negative first experience is still negative…

Solstice,
and when you find out you are wrong, will you aplogize for acting as you do?

There!

Solstice,
so using the person’s name who you are replying to, in a thread where they don’t keep things sequential, so you know automatically who is being addressed is your ‘evidence’ that I’m someone I have no idea who they are?

Well spotted. I totally missed that one.

This guy’s just a toxic griefer who takes it personally.
Should we flag him for being an asshole?
Can we actually do that? :smiley:

Solstice,
so honesty is -toxic- in your world, quite fascinating…
Feel free to “report” me… I’m sure the mods would love to see how you treat new folks who don’t agree with you…

I’m now cutting this short.

Do you truly believe newbie griefing happens in a significant capacity and without CCP knowing, or caring?

It’s a simple Yes/No question.

so,
it’s only something -significant- if it effects you?
so consideri8ng it did happen, in an example of 1 out of 1 experiences, it would have to be a solid -yes-

Okay.

What makes you think that it happens in a significant capacity?

Solstice,
because of a few simple facts…

  1. they -know- where they send new folks on rookie training missions
  2. they -chose- to place a major NPC war situation in at least one of those known areas…
  3. they -chose- to make it possible to kill/pod kill brand new players in a rookie/tutorial area…

You can not invent a “They” into this conversation, because these “they” do not actually exist.
You just assume “they” exist.

I’m asking you why you believe that there’s an actually significant amount of newbie griefing going on.

Why would CCP not do something about it …
… if it was actually significantly harming the retention rate?

ha, i messed up my own post. i need to slow down, doing too many things at the same time.

Solstice,
so ‘CCP’ is now an individual in your world?
last time I checked, proper terms for multiple individuals who you do not know their make up is ‘they’ or did the rules of English suddenly change?
and CCP is incapable of making a poor decision to do X in the name of making things better for ‘vetran’ players, without overlooking the effect it may have on new players?

You believe that CCP does not know about significant newbie griefing going on.

Okay.

CCP is the name of a company.
Just like literally all of the rest of the world I address a corporate entity by its name.

This is getting really boring. You don’t even manage to actually answer simple questions directly.

You’ve joined this forum a few hours ago, solely to rant about a personal experience you disagree with …
… and that massive narcissism of yours inflates it into a huge problem affecting a significant amount of new players negatively.

It doesn’t.
It’s just you.
Really.

Just get over it …
… or quit the game.

I can savely say that CCP does not care if you don’t like the experience …
… because there’s plenty of other people who don’t have these issues you seem to be having.

There is literally no evidence of newbie griefing going on …
… because othewise there would be a wealth of evidence readable on the forums and reddit.

There is no evidence. Not because people just outright quit …
… but because CCP has well established that this form of newbie griefing on a big scale does not actually exist.

They know this, because they’ve spent many years learning how to actually gather behavioural data …
… so they can algorithmically analyse what’s actually going on in the game.

All of this …
… is because you’ve gotten ganked by someone who didn’t know you’re a new player …
… and you not simply reporting him and moving on.

No, for you this is personal.

Congratulations.

I hope you’re a proud adult in real life …
… because here you’re a sensitive crybaby.

Seriously … in all the friendliness I can offer …
… just get over it …
… or quit the game.

Solsice,
because you don’t like the answer, it’s not 'answering your questions"?
and as I said before, there’s a difference between it being significant to -you- and significant to the people it is happening to.
so far I made a comment,
you responded to the comment,
I responded to you…
so how is that me “going on and on about something” unless you feel that you should not be responded to?
