Let me give you an idea of what it REALLY feels like to be an Eve Online player.
Imagine a world where you can do anything. And I mean "anything" as long as what you do is within the confines of the game and use only the tools given to you. Basically what CCP did with Eve Online is give you a sandbox, a shovel, and told you "do what you like" as long as you're not cheating. And by cheating I mean using third party programs to automate everything you do (ie: using bots). As long as you don't do that, you're A-OK and you can do the following without any consequences.
1. Scam players any way you like via contracts, trade windows, and even ISK transfers.
2. Steal the assets of your corp and then disband that corp on your way out.
3. Use that corp to fund your schemes.
4. Corner the market or at least try.
5. Attack mining vessels without provocation and force them to buy your mining vessels.
6. Disrupt mining operations and mission runners.
7. Steal loot from someone else's wreck.
8. Forcibly take territory and use it to create your own empire.
9. Create a galaxy-wide spy network that is so sophisticated that the CIA and KGB will be jealous.
10. Attack and burn the economic hub of New Eden for three days non-stop.
11. Catch any lone player in low-sec and ransom their ship or pod for ISK.
12. Bribe Concord (the space police) to let you attack another corp without Concord interfering.
13. Hunt and destroy players with bounties on them.
14. Accidentally start a battle that ends up in an article posted by the BBC, Forbes, and others.
And that's just the top of my head.
You will never find a more hostile game anywhere in the world.

Yeah, but my Domi is a few jumps away. We'd need to get over there so I can switch up.
