Absolutely not. Besides, gank 'em back.
I support legion. - it's more of a theoretical support. Depending on the feedback I get, it may become actual support.

Yes there are sociopaths but many people in EVE are very helpful and supporting of new players. 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...

I had made a post a while back with my now biomassed alt that predicted these particular forums would be extra nasty due to the collision of EVE players and MAG vets.
I have to go with EVE though for the win. The mechanics of that game really allow people to indulge their inner sociopath. -so they're more evident.

Is it like proto stomping or is there always a risk of it but mostly you can get in and get out fast enough? I would like that sort of tension but if it was constant non stop grinding stomping every time i left high sec for a mission then that would be annoying
Well its more about choosing a friendly corp that sticks together and trains their newbs. Its a steep learning curve but like in our case if you are part of a big alliance you are not abandoned to the wolfs. Still it took us sometime to find a place and we drifted a bit. The mistake we made is we started in hisec space, where all the newbs start, and mostly run missions and did mining. We got wardecked ( challenged into a war by other bigger corps) all the time and it was frustrating. The only way to be safe in EVE is to jump into the deep end, learn PVP and be part of an active and well organised corp. Once you learn the ropes and have some skill you can do anything you like, industry, solo hunting, exploration etc. My thinking would be to take it nice and easy in high sec for a month or two then maybe ease into a corp and get fully into the game. After dust and other fps i dont play enough to get good at. Nice and slow would be a nice break. Ill probably just mine in high sec for the first while. don't do this. please. go out and get into fights in low sec as fast as you can high sec is for shopping. the advantage that people have is combat experience. go get experience.
Yeah, don't do that. Or don't do it exclusively or for long. I did that and was about to quit the game/take a long break.
-Then I met some crazy hair-on-fire theorycrafting PvP'ers named eatsbabies cienfuegos and Johnny Freedom and 3 or 4 other people. We did a thing. One of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had.
