as we go about our journey in EVE Online, sooner or later we wind up taking a corner we may wish we didn’t.
Be it because of a personal experience, or maybe because the system itself is just a terrible place to be - from null, low or high sec, let’s hear your story on the most awful one you had to deal with.
I’m really excited for this one!
J115405, aka Rage. Except I never got in for the fight.
I was in a Lazerhawks rage roll fleet for over 30 hours trying to get in to help Hard Knocks defend against the null blob invasion.
The fleet connected within a couple rolls of me logging off.
Twice.
I was still in a rolling fleet when the writing was on the wall and HK called off the cavalry.
It was chaotic. As a highsec to null border system, it was constantly filled with “1337 pvp”-ers looking for cheap kills on one side, and F1 nullsec monkeys who were ignoring constant reminders in alliance coms NOT to get involved in M-O “pvp” on the other side. Both sides had no clue what they were doing, but there was a lot of killmails, often hilarious. The local was often filled with low-quality trolling and/or mentioning family members of the opposite side in various fornication scenarios.
I had seen this topic last night before bed and thought that I couldn’t think of a system that was ‘the worst’, but you’re right. If there was one system I did not want to visit, it was Jita. I liked Dodixie (before its decline), though. A lesser hive of scum and villainy I could get to know. Got scammed, bought stuff, had some laughs at my own expense. I do like a bit of duplicity and caveat emptor even if I am the one falling for it, but at Jita scale it’s all too impersonal.
Yup… it’s Jita. Although some of the brighter sky-boxed systems are also rather unpleasant (I would love to be able to toggle over to just a plain old starfield background so I could switch depending which I fancied at the time).
