Veteran EVE players just use this website to recruit newbies to slaughter mercilessly while they spawn camp every system with decent resources. If they do invite you to a corp its just to get you to slave away mining for them so they can kill other newbies. If you are new dont bother... TERRIBLE SuperLeetDudeSlayer community. I will say it has nice graphics though they are starting to show their years. Dont be fooled this game sucks unless you been playing it for years and/or know people in a very large guild that can twink you out from the very beginning.

Unsubstaniated opinions, cynicism, and trolling all in one package.
Why should I take your opinion seriously. The EVE community on the whole is completely different that what you state.
A. tried to enter lowsec or 0.0 wich can get you killed the larger the risk the larger the rewards
B. joined a corp that was in the middle of a mandatory mining op (some corps do this most dont make the ops mandatory)
In general EVE's community is very helpfull and nice. and isnt nearly unfriendly to new players as hes making it seem. ive got 2 or 3 people in the corp im in who are 2-3 months only now and there having a blast and they fly with all the rest of us with no problem.
also ingeneral EVE's playerbase is better about helping new players its not like alot of other games where you ask a question and your reply is a "stfu noob"
while your at it tell me why you dont shoot a frig with a torpedo, and what transversal velocity is
ROTFLMAO
This is a really funny post. I have been in the game for 5 months now. Had a few characters till I got the hang of it. Started again in Revalations. I have been in Hi Sec, Low Sec, 0.0 space. Been blown up by Pirates, run away from Pirates. Killed Rats been killed by Rats. Been in 2 Corps now in one that I helped start and have never seen this.
Most corps that mine tell you that up front.
BTW if they spawn camped every system we would need a hell of a lot more players.
Just to see how fast they will gank me.
To my soprise. I just had a chat with some people. That told me that they hunt pirates. Which they later did.
They were not even remotely interested in destroying my ship
In L2 for instance. People would come to newbie starting area , and just kill everyone for whatever pleasure they get from it.
In eve you will at least be killed with reason

This does happen but what about all the good things?
When I was a noob:
If you are going to post please do it constructively. Postive and Negative.
Well, he doesn't want to post anything positive, even though he's played "for years".
For the Tinfoil Hat II crowd: He might be a vet wanting to discourage new people from joining and getting all the good stuff.
For the rest: The answers to the two questions are easily located in EVE-O forums within a couple of minutes of searching. Even less if he happens to notice the handy Eve-Search site. Now, Warhawke, list to me the original members of the [23] society, and quote the very first ever Dark Shikari post. That'd be credibility.
Well I can't speak for others but being a veteran player myself (3 years of playtime now) I can say that my corp does accept new players and we train them up, give advice and such... we are a freelancer corp and nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to do.
They want to do some mining, no problem we buy minerals at marketprices, they want to go killing people no problem... just don't ransom or engage in piracy ... but kill pirates are allowed or being a hired gun also allowed.
Lost a ship ? no problem.. we got great industrial skills (several of us anyway) so we can help getting newbies into a new ship anytime.
im not lieing through my teeth i never said we just sit around
and
yes newbies get killed going into lowsec
yes they get occasionaly killed by someone dropping cans telling them they can pick them up
yes newbie corps do get scammed and stolen from
but
People Help newbs all the time
Antipirates like myself go around breaking up prat/outlaw gatecamps
The gatecampers dont just target new players most of the time
even pirates are willing to give advice to new players
not just newb corps get stolen from and scammed
some people go pickup the cans the newb killers drop just to kill them and get them outa system
suicide frigs hurt your sec standing if they do it to much they become outlaw
everyone has instas now
there is a warning popup telling them they can get killed in lowsec befor they enter it
Welp im off to to play other games but you should try your own advice if you are going to spout that nonsense. Post both sides of the equation. The examples you cited are so far and few between that I can only assume you work for CCP are just here to spout that crap.
When I was a noob:
Sorry I dont believe you. Vets dont hang around in 1.0 newbie space much less help them.
Well isnt that all warm and fuzzy...
Something like:
BOOM
Pirate: Haha stupid noob welcome to EVE
Noob: Why did you kill me? It took me a week to build that ship...
Pirate: Cause I can and your stupid...
Noob: But your in a battleship and Im in a frigate...
Pirate: Yeah cause your a stupid noob...
Noob: Hey stop shooting me im only in my pod...
Pirate: Stupid noob shoulda jumped when you had the chance - while we were laughing at you....
Noob: Someone help me...
Pirate: lol
Im guessing he had a bounty on his head and you jumped away before he could lock you too
I hear some cannibals are friendly too
Noob: Im out here trying to mine but I can't target the asteroid right can someone help me?
Noobhelper: Sure - what belt are you in?
Noob: 01
Noobhelper: Ok im on the way...
see conversation above for conclusion...
New player players that start corps not the NPC corps newbies start in.
Yeah it doesnt take them long for them to figure out thats what you do in EVE...
If you are going to post please do it constructively. Postive and Negative.
Yeah you posted your negative thoughts along with your BS...
Please refrain from calling me a liar!
You really have either NEVER played or played a LONG time ago. There are plenty of Vets in Hi Sec. Also there is this Corp Channel when you start. Quite a few Vets stay in that "Newbie Corp". And Chat in there.
I did agree with some of your negative points before listing the positives. I really do not need to justify myself to you.
You are either very young or very immature. Please grow up. Your game experience is probably very different to mine.
And everything I said is 100% true and accurate. I don't need to lie, I do not get paid by CCP and the more people in game the less space there is for me to move around.
edit: Sorry spelling mistake again.....some letters on my keyboard are slower than others
Put simply, I think you're just looking back with shit tinted glasses. Like a record you bought, loved, and played so much it drove you bloody mad, these games were never meant to last forever.
But shouldnt you already know this with your extensive EVE knowledge?
I think your a liar, you played EVE for a few days, flew into 0.0 and lost your ship and now you've come to whine.

This is EXACTLY why i tell people to play the game.
He talks about how newbies are treated, and some of this is true, but not to the extent that the OP claims. And I challenge the OP to name one open PvP game where new players never get ganked.
I will say this, and this comes from someone who has played a few open PvP games, I have never had less ganking problem in ANY game than in EVE, and the community, in terms of helpfullness and support is better here than in any MMO I have played.
Sorry the OP no longer likes the game, perhaps he should realize it is time to move on and leave it to those who do enjoy it.

I like EVE, a LOT! If that makes me a drooling fanboi with no sense and no perspective, then, all I can say is I hope the OP can find a game he likes as much.
Oh, and I don't go to other forums bashing games that others enjoy. That's just immature and childish.
