I'm a little confused as to what you were expecting when going into Low-Sec space. If, knowing the dangers of the area, you decided to go anyway what were you looking to accomplish? How would your experience in Low-Sec needed to be different for you to have come to a different conclusion?
You say you were looking for the good part of the game but I'm curious as to what your idea of the "good part" was supposed to be.

Regardless, I guess I'll take the time to share my short experience in EVE Online. This is the story of Gregory Seldon, a wide-eyed young capsuleer looking for a little danger. I, like you, got to a point within my trial where I decided to take a field trip to low-sec space, if for nothing else than to satisfy my curiosity. I knew the dangers, knew what I was putting at risk by putting myself in low sec, but also was attracted to the rarer minerals in the area that I could mine and sell back in the newbie area. The risk was, in my eyes, a worthwhile one. So I set up my ratting ship with 3 mining lasers (I know, lol) and went off to collect some ore. Of course I wasn't conditioned to check things like my local scanner so I was caught unaware when I was warp scrambled and promptly killed before I knew what was going on.
Rufis Malone was the villain I had met this day and his friend were taking light jabs at my predicament. I was a little Rabbit who'd wandered into a Wolves Den, they had initially thought that was a Scout/Bait ship for a larger fleet but with no one showing up in local after me they had dismissed that possibility. We got into a conversation sometime afterward and I took their pokes in stride, I knew the risks and had payed my price and I explained to them that I didn't blame them. A moment later I check my wallet and see a 10m ISK deposit straight into my account. Rufis Malone had gifted me, a complete stranger who's ship he'd blown up mere minutes before, for completely unknown reasons. Before I can respond he says something I'll probably always remember from my experience with EVE, "I like your attitude". If there were sunsets in space, I'd imagine he'd be walking away in one while saying that.
I guess that's the fundamental difference between yours and my first step into the wilds of EVE online, I took the loss of my ship in stride and realize that such a thing is a fundamental part of the game. My aggressors are just people playing the game not "Youtube trolls". In response the people that blew up my ship treated a newbie like me with some advice, some ISK, and gave me a far greater opinion of the community the game fosters.
Such is life in EVE Online. |
