As you may have seen from my earlier post I am quite genuinely trying to find something interesting in game to do and to that end joined a low sec corp to try and find something worthwhile....
No, you didn't, you joined Fleetworks which is in Primary., a nullsec-based alliance. Why were you in Frarn? There were tons of alliance mails sent out by the leadership as well as postings on the alliance forums to stay out of empire space as we were wardeced by Privateers (which is why 'CONCORD did nothing'), and that you were safer in nullsec with your alliance. The fact that you failed to pay attention to any of these warnings and got yourself ganked is your own damn fault.
I have no ****ing clue why Fleetworks recruited someone as whiny as yourself, as from this thread it's evident that you just try to blame everyone else and the game mechanics for your own failings and lack of imagination on what to do in a sandbox-type game such as Eve.

But I think my point stands, I lost my T2 fitted Raven to a bunch of jerks in high sec.
No, you practically gave it to them by ignoring repeated warnings and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you were just trying to move it out of highsec and into Scalding Pass then either wait for a lapse in the wardec (about every other week, Privateers tends to lose interest quickly) or pay a competent corpmate with a jump freighter to haul it down for you. Fleetworks handles most of the alliance's logistics, ffs!

Now I saw the comments on the triviality of my loss, but to me it was a BIG ****ING DEAL. I sweated blood to get that ship and equipment and I resent its loss. If you don't feel my pain its probably because its generational (i.e you have been playing EVE forever and are way ahead of the curve in terms of skills and ISK).
I joined in January. Of this year. I've lost 40+ ships in IC and previous corps, mostly due to my own inexperience or stupidity. I learned quickly not to fly what I couldn't afford to lose. I learned to expect losses. I learned even learned ways to avoid losses, like staying out of major hub systems when we're wardeced!

For us noobs (Oct 2007) its still a struggle and we don't appreciate you tossers destroying our ships.
If you're a noob then what the hell am I? Joined in January 2010 because I had friends from an IRC channel I hang out in that played. Granted, maybe I had an advantage because from day one I was surrounded by friends, many of them playing since 04-05 (did I mention one is a former Privateer?) and they told me not to do and corrected my failfits and such. Apparently you've had no such support and you're clueless like a noob when you've been around for three goddamn years.

Maybe Eve isn't the game for me? Probably, just trying to determine whether the game has anything that I can connect with before I cancel my accounts. I really, really want to like it but there is so little to love. It is everything that Elite, Freelance, Privateer, X2 should be but in reality it's a bunch of entrenched players that feed off of the less skilled. The basic problem is that in the absence of real in game content the only thing for legacy players to do in game is destroy what less skilled players have created and thus you have a generational game.
Not really. And if you're looking for "in game content", why did you join a nullsec-based corp/alliance? Nullsec is arguably the most sandbox-y part of Eve! No missions, no NPC police, and most everything is player-built and player-controlled!
The "entrenched players" in organizations such as Privateers feed off of the less skilled if you *let* them.

Only if you lack imagination and ambition.
