Hardcore Eve players

If there’s one thing in Eve that annoys me more than isk farmers and ore thievesm it’s idiots who think just because they pvp, they’re the lord of everyone in the game and demand respect whether they deserve it or not

Some players have been known to act like this in 0.0

Well guess what, people? Acting like a dick and saying “I’m so great because I can take 50 million pvp’ers in BS’s in a frigate and kill them all with one shot” is only going to prove one thing to me:  that you actually are a dick and you don’t deserve my respect

The pvp’er who turns to me and says “Yes, I do think I’m good at pvp because I’ve managed to kill 2 or 3 cruisers out of 6 while in a frigate, but they got me in the end” is going to earn my respect even more because

a) He/ she fought back against odds that were unwinnable

b) He/she managed to take down a few enemies before going down him/herself

c) He/she admiited that, in the end, the battle was unwinnable, admitted that they did get killed and did not act like a whiney baby because they lost their ship.

Also, you are not going to earn my respect if

a) you ONLY kill people who are flying industrial ships and mining barges

b) you take 10 friends along to gank a single frigate/cruiser

c) you pirate to ransom players for their ships/pods, take their isk and blow them up anyway (even pirates in real life, while committing criminal activities, honour their profession by letting ships go after the ransom has been paid).

To this day, I have only pvp’d a handful of times, each time either finding no one to pvp against or losing my ship. And each time, the opponents have been gracious in victory, never saying “Ha ha, you lost your ship, go back to high sec loser”.

I prefer to hear that from the hardcore players no likes or respects. Because then I laugh and think to myself “At least I’m in a player run corp and not in some npc noon corp because I act like a jerk all the time”.

So, there you have it. Acting like a jerk in Eve will only earn you enemies. Being gracious both in victory and defeat will earn you more friends than you can count.

Until next time
