Needing a break from wow i tried a free trial of EVE Online and i was so mad after just 2 days that i didnt even finsh the damn trial.

It's basically a space mmog where you fly startrek like ships and npc hunt, trade, mine or mission run or build your own empires and stuff. Sounds fine and like a standard game right? Wrong..it's full of griefers....adult griefers.

I went looking for better asteroids in a slightly lower security system than i started in and within 5 seconds of me mining, pirate players warped in, killed me....and took my ore. FFS i'm just a newb in a crappy ship what was the point of that ****?

So I appear back in the station with a kill message and in the basic ship. So I fit some guns and go back this time without mining lasers so i can fight, i get to the system and ask them why they are killing newbies. They told me they didnt know and invited me to thier gang so i could warp to them for my stuff back.

I did then we started talking about the game, they were both in their late 20's and they asked my age. Before i even finished typing they locked me and killed my ship AGAIN. I escaped in my pod and warped from moon to moon trying to loose them but they kept chasing me trying to kill my pod too.

I logged off, **** it and im not going back ever. Worst thing is the developers and GM's ENCOURAGE griefing and say its part of the game!!!!!!????? People can kill and steal from you and they get a pat on the back from GM's? WTF!!

I'm all for concentual pvp but random killings and constant griefing is not fun.
Dont EVER play EVE Online, it's a griefers game far beyond any reasonable limit.

Well, they do have a point:  EVE is total shit.  Sure, WoW is just as bad, but that's no excuse.

That's why EVE is crap only a handful of people play, whereas WoW is a market leader.

EVE sucks for a lot of reasons, but some guy getting iced for being stupid and ragequitting because of it isn't one of them.

MMOG's often teach a principle lesson of humanity.

That men only do what is right out of fear from the law.

Newsflash: in a computer game any rules are built into the world. If you can do it it is OK. If you're a child (physically or otherwise) maybe you shouldn't play online.

The law and sometimes God(which is another form of law anyway).

Martinus as an advocate for WoW is all you need to know about WoW.

From what I know of EVE, it's a game where you need to be part of a group/guild or what ever it's called, and alliances. So that griefers, or other guilds, get their smack down in return.

I played a much older game for a while, based in space. My guild was fairly strong but also part of an alliance of strong guilds. And there were opposing strong alliances, some of them just out to take what they could, but they had to tread carefully before taking on strong alliances, as did anyone. Fun stuff, giving a more wide open aspect to the game.

Not really, you can survive fairly well as a freelance, as long as you scout properly, check local and so forth. While there are a lot of dangers in EVE, it is an enormous place.
