I also got podded and lost (albeit quite cheap) implants recently on a foolish trespass into LS on an escalation.
It never occured to me to cry about it on forums though, or question why I was podded, or get angry at the game (much less at the players who blew me up).
In my case, as in yours, it was my own hubris, lack of knowledge and how to react, and lack of preparation that ultimately caused my own loss.
I wandered into the wolf territory, unprepared, and got eaten. I cant blame the wolves for their nature, only myself.
I think some of your sec rating concerns, and LS mechanics concerns, have some merit, but not in the context you expressed them in or in connection to the result of what happened to you.
Its just isk you lost, and some pride. Both can be re-earned, and more wisely invested in future, if you learn from this experience.
Take a breather, reflect on what you could/should have done differently, and get back to the game. If anything, you can make it your lifes goal to revenge yourself, which is completely possible and your choice in this sandbox.

People blowing each other up in Lowsec. Say it ain't so!
Either pick yourself up and learn from it, or don't. Sympathy is in short supply here for your bad judgement/misfortune. Perhaps put a bit more effort into researching your route and balancing what is actually in your pod with what you are doing for next time.
I resent your post for making me say something bitter.

I don't understand the thinking behind posts like this. Eve is a subscription game, not free to play. Every sub lost is a direct hit to the company's bottom line. How is telling people to go away and not play going to help short or long term?
Maybe the company should put that in their ads: "The current players do not want anyone else to join!"

Now it is aiming for the demographic highlighted by the posters in this thread. Players interested in fun games should look elsewhere.:( Oh dear, you have been away for a while. Many people would in fact say this game is targeted more for a "general" player base and that as a result, something in eve has died. Eve stands for 'Everyone Vs Everyone' and for my money it's only exciting because my opponents are other real people with real brains and hearts. This game's made me so mad I'd kick a dog and so overjoyed I'd kiss a bloke. It has high stakes and, importantly, jeopardy. It's jeopardy that makes this game great, and if you die, there was probably something you could have done to avoid it and it was probably your fault for not spotting the signs. Still, that said. You're going to get caught by a organised gatecamp eventually. It's a rite of passage. You should be flattered that they brought so much isk to the table just to catch your wee mining frig.
So much this.
I lost a nice Astero and exploration pod to a null gatecamp. Look it up. That one stung hard. Know what I did?
Flew 6 jumps to give the camp a GF in local because, damn. It was a GF. Then I clone jumped to Jita, got a new Astero and plugs and went right back to work.
HTFU, man.
New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.
Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

Early on, when I first started playing Eve, me and my new corpies when on our first Lowsec roam. We got hit by a smartbombing Rohk. The next day butthurt yours truly (on different toon) went to Crime and Punishment complaining about AFK Gatecamps. I'm not posting it as I can't bear to look at that thread again, even today. Lady Spank was the first to chime in and I got far worse treatment that this guy's getting in this thread. Hell, I ever filed a petition iirc.
I did learn a lesson that day, actually a life lesson. Apart from 'stop crying over space pixels', that if you feel you have lost something or been beaten, first ask yourself "has something bad happened to me? and if I feel bad, is it because my expectations were wrong in the first place. What did I expect, and was it fair for me to expect that."
Sometimes my expectations, after consideration were fair, and then I can get mad about something.
But really, that doesn't happen that often.
Usually it's just means I need to wise the f*ck up.

We do want new players, we just don't want the type of player that cries and throws his toys out the pram all because he lost his shiney space pixel pod.
Its a game, a harsh game, thats how we like. If you can't handle loss then you are playing the wrong game.

-10s can fly freely in lowsec, camp the gates en masse and pod anyone (except other -10s lol) who comes through. There is no penalty for them. If you bring reinforcements then they can fly to the station and dock. Both of these are what I object to:
1. -10 can use the lowsec stations even though they are -10 2. podding in lowsec
Ships can be lost np since they can easily be replaced. Don't fly what you cannot afford to lose is fine and I am willing to risk ships. What I am not willing to risk is implants. Being ganked by twenty -10s and then immediately podded after peeking into lowsec makes the game not worth playing.
To those who remain, have fun. I may check back again in a year or two, if the game is still running.
stay / leave -whatever-
But one thing you got wrong, look:
"Don't fly what you cannot afford to lose"
It does not say "ship" anywhere. This includes implants!
You have to understand and accept this fact, if you want to feel better with EvE. I recommend, that you apply to a NullSec Alliance. ...and train Jump Clone Skills, so that you can "park" implants and switch to cheaper clones.

This is basically the question of what's more important: Making a Game that will appeal to as many people as possible, or making a game that is enjoyable to those who play. The former will usually result in a game, that is kind of wishy-washy, a jack of all trades and a master of none. Kind of nice, but forgettable. The latter more often than not brings forth a game that appeals only to some. Many people will never know it even exists, and it will most likely die at some point, but those few who actually like it, will probably always remember the times they had.
Few people ever excel in more than just a few, very narrow fields. Some are great artists, mechanics, scientists or doctors. Pretty much nobody is all of that at once. The same goes for games.
I would rather see Eve die and CCP move on to other things than to see Eve turn into a nondescript, suitable-for-the-masses type game.
In a world, where growth and profit counts above all else, the latter kind is pretty rare, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have a place in said world. |

It is a valid complaint, but not one based on "fairness", but as how I read it, just in playstyle?
I actually agree with that neg sec people shouldn't have empire faction station access in lowsec. What I think is that those in good standings with a pirate npc faction gain access to special pirate havens. These are deadspace pockets with acceleration gates only usable by pirate players. These havens would have a station, and structures like a jump gate that do not show any map.
To enhance the pirate untracability, these points can move about, so always new connections to prevent anti pies from having easy camps. |

Don't be so obtuse. Everyone wants more players in the game. But we don't want players who want to change the game to suit their preconceived ideas of what an MMO should be.

I only had two accounts and unfortunately I resubbed both for one month. Could have gotten several steam games with that money :(
Eve was never targeted at a general audience numbnuts, you could always be podded in low sec, wherever. Try playing WOW, that's more your type of game I think but maybe you are just a poor troll. Sad. |

Who cares about being podded these days anyway? You don't have to buy a new clone, the only loss is if you had implants. I myself preferred the old way, where you had to pay. You took a double-whammy slap up the side of the head. Which made you sort of have a real sci-fi clone transferral experience.
Even better than that was when creepy AURA also used to laugh at you. "Oh, you foolish pilot....!" Sexy babe voice laughing at you, on top of your ship loss, pod loss, clone reactivation fee. Quadruple whammy.
By the way, do you still lose SP if you're podded and your clone isn't upgraded?

Only a Rookie calls Eve Online a ......"Game."
A Video Game is defined as a form of entertainment where the User engages in predetermined acts such as fighting various monsters for better potions and to advance in skill points. Where the only interaction is between the User and the elements of the game that cannot be programmed or altered based on out side factors, such as User X coming in and stealing you coins.
An Environment however is when the User is immersed into a situation where they come across User X in Null and either or destroyed thus causing a Butterfly Effect to occur that would not have occurred otherwise in the static game setting.
Evolve your gaming experience and step into the Environment of New Eden.
