jjjjk.
I dont understand what made you go there if you didnt expect that?

They make it sound like its far enough from the “■■■■” but it apparently only takes 1 player+ alts to make the game incredibly difficult for any new player to do anything that requires undocking.
Were you with EvE-UNI?
I mean, its a fairly wild west place out there.
Probably checking Dotlan and even the in game map would tell you a lot about a place.
I operate around Boystin sometimes, it’s no better or worse than anywhere else. Set up your standings, keep an eye on local at all times, use dscan. That applies everywhere.

Anytime someone makes a location public like that, and then proclaims how profitable is can be, someone will find it and use it to hunt unsuspecting victims. I’m not sure why you didn’t expect that to happen.
This statement makes it sound as if the characters you have listed in your post have specifically targeted your friends.
Are you saying these characters specifically hunted your friends until your five friends quit?
Is this the accusation you are making?
You started in January, presumably your friends started after you did.
(Please correct me, if I’m making a false assumption as to their start dates.) Specifically harassing new players can be a bannable offense. How many times were your friends blown up by this player(s)? And did this player(s) follow your friends? By that I mean, did your friends try moving several systems away and did their persecutor(s) follow them and continue ganking them?
CCP takes a dim view of new player “harassment”, and will act on it if the situation is reported to them.

I don’t get the point of this thread. You are talking about LOWSEC here, right?
Sucks for you but thank you for posting some experiences about just how easy ganking is. It will help to disspell claims saying otherwise. 
It’s a hisec pocket, Boystin is where the EveUni campus is located. It’s actually a relatively quiet area but of course like everywhere else there are local pirates.
So as you are in EveUni, have you talked to whoever is in charge of the campus about collective defence? Or how to adapt to the situation?
Did everyone have permits?
and don’t forget travel permits
and its a high sec island , so , maybe a nautical transport permit
Solitude has the reputation for being a haven for bot-aspirant behavior. I am happy to see that somebody is working to correct that situation.

Because players work defence together in null. If you were doing the same in hisec you’d be pretty safe too.

I looked thru several kills in boystin. Firstly, don’t use a Retriever unless u know you are safe, obviously not the case where u are (Mackinaw def a no-no). But there were even a couple of Procs and Skiffs killed, these were all yield fits. Use a Proc and learn to fit a tank, mine with other players, use local/standings and dscan.

Your friends were ganked…once? While mining? By this/these character(s)?
That makes it sound as if they were ganked once while mining.
I can’t tell from this statement, so…how many times were they ganked, while doing anoms?
Did they try moving from this area?
The same character(s), which you believe are controlled by one player (and I’m not contesting this assertion, it could very well be one player), “contested” their presence in “his space”.
So, I ask again, did they try moving? Or fighting back, in any way, at all?
You are a member of EVE Uni, did you try asking your corp mates for help?
You say their aggressor is one player, EVE Uni is very large. Did you ask for help?
Hm, just caught up reading on the thread.
Did you friends quit actually quit? Are you referring to your friends here? Or are you speaking EVE Uni here?
You should check out highsec islands in Aridia. One caveat, though, the biggest island may be a focus of the forthcoming Trig. final chapter.
lol, yep, just today, moved all my crap out of Chibi
I realize it’s disappointing to have friends quit a game you’ve recommended to them.
But, without further information on the challenges they faced in Solitude, i.e. how many times they were ganked, if they moved, and if their ganker followed them, there is no way to understand whether they faced normal or extraordinary challenges in the game.
One player(s) attempting to maintain or gain control of a highsec territory is normal gameplay. Right now, rumors abound regarding the Hog Collective trying to establish dominance in Osmon. As I understand it, the locals are contesting this.
This is normal gameplay in highsec.
If you friends were repeatedly ganked, and were followed and repeatedly ganked by one player(s), then that is an extraordinary challenge and may merit attention from CCP.
But, from the information you have provided there is no way for any of your responders in this thread to know which circumstance your friends faced.
