The whiners on this forum are really _not_ representative of the majority of Eve players. Most medium to large size corps that noobs join do ship SRP for mining barges…so all this whining about ’ I lost my ship…how will I ever survive ’ is dreadful over-dramatization of the actual reality of Eve. We’ve all lost ships. Most of us don’t go into meltdown over it. ---

> [@Ax\_l\_Thorne](#): > > but also one that should land the ganker in real life jail? Actually, somebody claimed to be a real life criminal lawyer, and would have everyone tracked down and sent to jail for ganking his pimped out Navy Raven worth £3000. He spent another £3000 on an identical Navy raven, got scammed out of it by the goons, quit EVE then went back to WoW. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/c/c/5cc177ccf94af6fbf016ca38224e9cd268b89842.gif) ---

- WoW player buys a shed-load of plex and fits Navy Raven worth 44bn for hi-sec ratting. Unsurprisingly gets ganked. We know this already. - The kill mail goes viral and suddenly everyone is inviting him to join their corp. Reverse AWOX anyone I assume? - The [Mittani.com](http://Mittani.com) ‘interviews’ him. - He admits he is hunting down the gankers in reallife and that he’s a lawyer and that he’s already replaced the Raven with the same again! - Later a Goon ‘recruiter’ convo’s him, convinces him he’s helping and that the gankers are waiting for him to undock. He offers to help and tells him to give his new ship to them so they can “move it safely” for him (If you don’t know what’s coming next, I can move your 44bn Ravens too. Convo me in game) - WoW player gives the Goon his brand-new replacement shiny officer-fit Raven Navy Issue which is worth tens of billions of ISK… but wait for it… here is the best bit… - The WoW player also fills the cargo hold with nine plex and other juicy things to make it up to a cool 60bn before handing it over to the Goon to ‘move’ for him. So that is well over 100 billion ISK down in a single afternoon between the gank and the scam. That is a Titan…ic loss! ---

@Zaera_Keena found it: [ALOD: GO BACK TO WOW - INN](https://imperium.news/alod-go-back-wow/) (old website is down, old articles etc now collected on inn) Perhaps not the best of “criminal lawyers” if he makes real life threats, lol. ---
