I’ve been in other corps, I’ve been in major alliances in Null, I’ve been in smaller alliances renting.
I’ve been in Low.
Now I prefer where I am minding my own business and enjoying being solo rather than sitting in a corp mining to be able to afford the rent, or sat on a gate camp, or running Sanctums and Havens then salvaging for the corp to go sell it for the ISK.
If you enjoy how you play, well done. But don’t try to criticize others for how they play.
Any player can play exactly how they like, especially as they pay for their sub, not you.
Hello everyone, First of all, thank you for all your responses, both positive and negative. I lasted only six days after deleting the game… unfortunately, I’m both a loser and an addict.
Secondly, some of the guys here are really bullies.
No one asked what I was doing in 0.4 with a 3 Billion worth of ships and characters. I know that
If you enter the low-sec with an expensive and big ship, you will explode, and I definitely don’t enter low-level areas without keeping security at maximum levels.
The reason I went to low-sec was because of a Crimson Harvest special mission that suddenly appeared. I wasn’t wandering around aimlessly or getting myself blown up for no reason — I spent about 20 minutes searching the area to figure out how I could check the mission without getting into PvP. I was doing radar scans and watching what ships were doing near the station, staying close in case I needed to dock quickly. Then out of nowhere, someone suddenly teleported me somewhere else useing “booshed”. Since I have nothing to do with PvP, it was the first time I learned about that mechanic — if I had known, I wouldn’t have stood there like an easy target.
The main issue I want to say here is that a person like me who does not want to do PvP is forced into PvP in every possible way.
I play this game for fun (and apparently I can’t play any other game either ).
2.-I like how big the ships are in this game (and I die when I use a smaller ship in most missions.)
-I don’t want to play with small ships (I’m currently improving my Carrier skills. I hope to use a Carrier in 2 months And yes, capital ships is only used in Low-sec, so I’m screwed. )
In my opinion, PvP should be on equal footing and optional. I mean, I don’t want to fight a ship that’s superior to me in experience and experience and also designed for PvP. Especially when my ship is equipped for PvE…
In the country where I live (Türkiye), the USD-TL exchange rate is 42x. So, unlike most people, buying something with a credit card is 42 times more difficult for me. (I only had to use my credit card once for Omega.) I earn all my income by performing tasks and quests. The reason I deleted the game wasn’t because I lost the ship, but because of how I lost the ship.
For me, 3 billion is a week’s worth of work. 3-4 hours a day is easily enough. I understand that some players don’t know how to play this game. They think that money can only be made with credit cards.
You forced yourself into PvP by installing and playing the game. EVE is first and foremost a PvP game: Everyone versus Everyone.
The PvE part is just for the market and industry to keep feeding PvP playstyle. You can learn to avoid PvP but eventually someone will succeed to PvP you.
Sorry, EVE is not a ‘PvP-opt-in’ game like some other games. There’s PvP everywhere in EVE and it’s up to you to create the circumstances in which you can stay alive.
Knowing that PvP is part of the game, try to fit your ‘PvE ship’ such that it can survive and run from a fight! Better agility, burst jams, cheap, ECM drones, warp core stabilizers, cloaks… there are many tools players can use to keep their PvE ships safer from other players.
Flying fast agile cheap ships is recommended, at least until you know how bigger ships get caught and destroyed.
So what you are saying is that we should run locator agents in December to find your carrier in LS?
I probably won’t, but others may. Don’t overshare!
NEWSFASH : EVE is a PvP game. Like real life, EVE is not fair, it is survival of the fittest off which you are not as you are the PREY.
Now if you don’t want to PvP, play something designed for carebears like Final Fantasy XIV where you can run around looking like a bunny and hurty words are forbidden such as YOU SUCK.
We are not bullies, we are just having a good laugh at your expense.
So does everyone else. Thing is, games usually stop being fun when you only lose and never win, and I think it’s safe to assume that you’re not actually experiencing that much fun if you frequently rage quit. The advice people are giving you is advice on how to lose less, win more, and have more fun.
For me, 3 billion is a week’s worth of work. 3-4 hours a day is easily enough.
Even if we assume that’s accurate (which it could be, but seems unlikely at your general level of skill and game knowledge) I think that’s more expensive than you’re giving it credit for when you’re just pissing the ISK away to become a killmark on a loki’s hull. That’s basically an entire day out of your week just getting thrown into a hole, and an even larger fraction of your waking hours.
You should meditate on this thought for a while imo.
EVE: Everyone Versus Everyone.. PVP and CCP means it. Any time you are undocked. You are consenting to pvp.
Events always bring out the people that who may not otherwise gank. Feel real free to do so.
Yeah get the reason why you grind. Turkey, from what friends and other have told me, is a beautiful country. But the exchange rate from Turkey currency to any world currency can suck hard.
Still I will stand by what I stated. Deleting the game is not going to give you the experience in flying those ships you want. You are literally setting yourself back. You really should look into joining a corp. Also just an aside. Flying those smaller ships really will help in flying those larger ships you want to fly. As you learn how to adapt to overheating and changing out ammo.
Also pvp is optional. Just never undock. EVE: Everyone Versus Everyone and unlike other games. CCP means it. With the only exception is an account of under 30 days.
Even then sometimes it happens as CCP asks, not stops or out right forbids it. CCP does not even have a code that can stop one player from shooting another that is under the 30 day threshold.
But a corp could help you get the experience in flying those bigger ships. Skills are just one small part of the equation of flying any ship.
If you want an even footing then like everything else in this game. Gain the experience and knowledge. Because there are no shortcuts to that experience or knowledge.
You got booshed. How unfortunate. I probably would be sitting there wondering what just happened like some bemused newb myself. As I got blown out of the sky.
Remember. Some players are just 16 years old and not very mature.
I think Eve Online is rather uninteresting for many young people, but there are a few who are. So forgive them if they’re hot-tempered.
And yes, capital ships is only used in Low-sec, so I’m screwed.
In Null too. Just in case you don’t know that. You can join a corp.
If you want to fly “big ships” without PVP how about other games like X4 for example? Super big ships and no PVP at all.
In my opinion, PvP should be on equal footing and optional.
In most cases PVP is not “fair” in eve online. Almost everyone tries to maximize their chances of winning.
Have fun (with any game)
and don’t talk about a lonely carrier in low too much. There are too many people who are bored and want to shoot down a carrier.
When I played in white wolf WOD. I played a Bone Gnawer garou that hunted vampires LOL
He was my favorite character.
And if my grand daughter can talk me into the game that she plays.. I might roll that character out again. But that depends on whether I can get back to the old house to get the sheets and books.
What sheer nonsense. The entire basis of EVE is that nowhere is safe and PvP is not ‘optional’ anywhere. It’s been that way for over 20 years. Likewise the basis of the game is that you learn how to counter this. If you go charging off into lowsec in 3bn worth of blingy ship, you can and should expect to be attacked at any time. It’s not a game flaw…its how the game works.
Ya know…30 seconds worth of scouting the lowsec system would have saved you a ship loss.
