One thing I can give EvE is that PvP-wise, it is the ultimate game. Nothing like taking down a Titan...especially when you realize Titans are worth thousands of dollars in RL cash. Grief knows no bounds in EvE; I'm surprised people haven't committed suicide over the grief in EvE. Maybe they have, lol...[/URL]

And people want to play this? Sounds like the opposite of everything I play games for.

In all fairness you can play empire space and never see a lick of PvP. Trading, missioning, mining, playing the economy...you could play for years and never PvP.

I'm not against PvP whatsoever. I'm against the ruthlessness the game seems to encourage. I never care about dying in Battlefield 3, I never care much about dying in EQ's PvP servers, or DAOC, or when I played on a WoW PvP server, but in EVE I'm sure I'd care too much.

EVE allows players to do things to each other that other MMOs have the good sense to not allow. Some of the things I've seen on youtube would be cause for permanent bans, but in EVE they're practically celebrated.

I'm a casual gamer who does it for fun and relaxation. Not sure EVE fits my style.

EvE is a harsh game...but you have to be smart. The only time you can be griefed is when you allow it.

Never fly a ship you can't afford to lose. Never fully trust anyone...no matter how long you've played with them. Never invest ISK you you can't afford to lose. Expect the unexpected. Don't let someone con you. Watch your trade window. Know what you're buying. The list goes on and on, lol.

Most of the grief comes from players that only play the "blue" side of EvE and get smacked...flying a load that has enough worth for suicide gankers into Jita for example. Or in the case of a previous link of mine...mining in null or low-sec and thinking no one is going to bother you. Taking that "shortcut" through low-sec.

If you play smart and understand that something can always happen to your pretties...you're invulnerable. If you play long enough to venture into playing strictly in 0 space...you won't need any advice anymore.
