You will have the good people, but as soon as you warp out of hisec you're going to find yourself ganked in short order by people who only really do it to be jerks or are trying to pad out their bounty profile.

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.

That sounds cool.

B) Those who had wanted Dust on PC and are jealous.... they got their wish anyway. C) Those that feel that Dust did nothing but slow down progress in EVE, and hate it for existing at all. For the most part all those people are assholes anyway, and not the majority. They would be assholes to you no matter where you came from, and New Eden is full of them. They are already established and feel that everything that doesn't directly benefit them, like helping new players and expanding the player base, is something that hurts them. As a Dust player you have some experiences and stories that Eve players can relate to and may even be interested in. Also being established in both games makes you a valuable asset to a lot of corps looking foward to possible future interactions. I'd recommend E-Uni if you don't have a corp in mind already. My EVE character was with them for my first year and they're great at answering questions and teaching you whatever you need to know (and there is a lot to learn).

That sounds cool. Yes one thing New Eden isn't in short supply of is people who will kick your ass, and then help you back up and tell you how to avoid it in the future. Heck my alliance went on a roam in Gal FW space and we reimbursed all the pilots we destroyed who were less than 2 months old. People want fights, so they'd rather you be ready for a fight than run away.

Even the ones that just blew you up. I have been in fleets where pilots reimbursed victims for their ships after we found out they were new; then they were directed to safer zipcodes. It really kind of depends on your attitude. I can almost promise you that if you come off as arrogant or immune to advise then the big-boy-rules will automatically go into effect. And if you like to make big statements or truth-claims without supporting your position with a reasoned argument - you will get your face eaten. Then you will be bombed with links, and spreadsheets and graphs.....and then real bombs...and then more links... Which game has the worse sociopaths eve or dust? I'd say that the PC and the console communities have the worst sociopaths you could ever find PC gamer here, and I agree. It should be no surprise that some of the biggest Dust sociopaths came from EVE (including myself)
