This is a stereotype Carebear mentality.
Most of those guys who will "gank you in short order as soon as you leave highsec" are actually some of the most helpful and friendly players in the game. Pirates aren't the badguys, and we don't "do it just to be jerks"..... we do it because hunting down and killing a player's ship is more of a challenge than insta-blapping hundreds and hundreds of NPCs.

This is actually true, I was ganked on a gate (auto-pilot shopping) and he sent me a mail asking if I was new, which I admitted of being, so he invited me into a private chat and walked me through pretty much everything from traveling to pvp. I also got invited into a channel for pirates ( I was interested) and that channel was awesome, they were very helpful and wanted me to be good at the game so I could enjoy the EVE universe.

Would we need to hide the fact that we prefer gaming on a different platform? You're only going to get treated like crap if you come in with this kind of attitude. Seriously, dude. What is with this "racism" against PC gamers? You DO realize that most of us also play games on console, right? In fact, many PC gamers, like myself, have MULTIPLE consoles. Silly Infantrymen...

Confirming. Sometimes, I share fits with guys I kill. If he turns on me and actually puts up a good fight with his PvE ship, I can occasionally be inspired to pay for his loss and give some advice to help him improve his fighting-back ability. Every now and again, when a noob REALLY impresses me with his ability to defend himself and accept a lossmail with a smile, I'll recruit him into SMERG. In any case, as long as the guy I kill doesn't rage out at me (as most actual carebears will, sadly), I always let him know that I really want him to grow, improve, and come back with a bigger/badder ship for revenge, someday. Every player that quits EVE is one less target, and I'd rather have a good brawl than a one-sided insta-blap, any day. Silly Infantrymen... CAS Requests are for Forward Observers...
