See Kirith's blog about trusting another player to lock and web his Orca. http://www.ninveah.com/<br /><br />This kind of thing would be far more common if more players could feel safe interacting with each other. Since the negatives get hyped, the pygmalion effect is in full swing, i.e. we all expect the worse from players we do not know. I would say there are actually far more players just going about their business and willing to help out than would be expected based on the hype.<br /><br />Me, for instance. I just like flying shiny spaceships on the computer. I have done so, off and on since Elite. Doing so in EvE is just a far different experience as you can truly trust nobody. So, I am more than willing to help...but very, very cautiously.Latrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788342809089685009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-2049450877274489142010-09-21T07:58:36.176-07:002010-09-21T07:58:36.176-07:00On target as usual.

Explaining to him, that there are many facets to the game, not just those discussed in the open. <br /><br />Frankly, my main (Latro) doesn't do anything interesting. He's a mission runner and I started my blog around him to comment on the game and push out some poor fiction as I felt the need. <br /><br />Now, hypothetically speaking, if maybe, I kinda had other potential theoretical accounts/alts, they may or may not be doing other things. I would have no desire to draw attention to them or their activities and no in-game relations would exist between them and Latro...hypotheticaly speaking. If I comment on the blog about non-missioning stuff, you can bet that hypothetically speaking it's because those hypothetical characters are involved...or not. :-)Latrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788342809089685009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-54999692918355559832010-09-20T21:19:20.675-07:002010-09-20T21:19:20.675-07:00Love your article!

When I do, it's easy to avoid them (or blow them up if that's your game). I am definitely not a big online game player, but I log into EVE every day when possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942519373045197838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-25432560042839315732010-09-20T21:12:30.554-07:002010-09-20T21:12:30.554-07:00Shhhhhh!

We makes our monies, flies our ships and keeps our heads down and people fly right by us.<br /><br />We tanks our Hulks [even in high sec], scouts our routes and keeps our Stront reserves at 100% + reserve.<br /><br />We keeps quiet in local, blogs about our corporate lives and makes deals with others for mutual gain and benefit.<br /><br />When we lose [fortunately less and less as we get more experience], we fly away. We debrief, we learn and most of all we keep quiet.<br /><br />FWIW, EVE is still a relatively small world where it is not uncommon to run into people that you have seen before. Keeping records can make a big difference.Kename Finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116212305577417333noreply@blogger.com
