Why is it only shithole players lose at the game? ---

Everyone loses ships in this game. The difference is some players also lose their mind over it. My recommendation: don’t. Learn, adapt and get better with every loss. I think that link Mike wrote earlier was a nice story on this topic! ---

> [@Kassandre\_Monroe](#): > > DO NOT ENTER THIS SHITHOLE losses in this game can cause real emotional pain. It’s a survival game. If you can’t progress, it means its not a suitable game for you. Just play other game genre. 🙂 Even some of the famous ruthless big players in this game quits when time comes. ---

**Q:** Why is this posted in Photon UI? > [@Kassandre\_Monroe](#): > > Not because i loose millions, but because i can’t play. > I can’t progress if i loose everything because of assholes. Not all of us, just some. This post is a prime example of why we don’t need a safe haven and just better instruction. This user might not ever read this post, but my hope is some new players will see it. **The 11 Commandments of John and Not the Crap** 1. Not one of the video trailers are accurate or insightful. Pure falsehoods 100%. 2. You are a target on day one. 3. You will lose ships and people have a meme “Never fly what you cannot afford to lose.” for a reason. 4. Alphas and unskilled pilots are pinatas for the veterans to blow up. Learn not to be their pinata. 5. Never buy into any game, without testing the waters. A fool and their money are soon parted. 6. I recommend all new players to skill train one character for a month, while they play smart doing simple missions. 7. After a few weeks, if you believe this game is a good fit, then buy your omega, so you can train faster and fly the better ships. 8. Still don’t know what you are doing wrong? Join a corp and find out from others. 9. There are quite a few carebears mixed in with us assholes. They are not hard to find. 10. Most PvP games bring out the best and the worst in us all. 11. When I get blown up by a player, to me it feels no different, when I get blown up by an NPC. This doesn’t seem like a “good fit” for you and you may want to look into other games. Fly safe o7 ---

Good advices. I’d add, if you want to learn the game fast, join EvE Uni, it’s kinda their whole thing. ---
