I like both, I'm good a following directions but there is something appealing about being solo.<BR/><BR/>The part you mention about keeping a positive outlook and assessing where the fun comes from, well that was just plain good stuff.<BR/><BR/>I have a group of friends in hi-sec who are in a corp with an alt of mine. We tried hi-sec wardecing and invited some great players at PVP that we knew from what we started. <BR/><BR/>Why is it I hate hi-sec pvp vs low sec piracy? I thought it was the mechanics or the difference stations play, no that's not it.<BR/><BR/>The key was, pirates (well my pirates, bastards and hellcats) have a positive outlook on killing and being killed, we seek fun and if that means a ship is lost, oh well. Yet with my buddies in hi-sec, they were wrapped up in worries about KB stats and lost ships, often yelling or insulting others in fleet for things they in fact were the issue and not everyone else.<BR/><BR/>So when I'm asked why I like low-sec and piracy better, I say it's all about the positive mental attitude I have to losing a ship and the easy going folks who I run with. <BR/><BR/>Fun is the key, stress is at work, don't bring it to EVE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932080706590351719.post-72804140475031384302009-03-07T01:10:00.000-08:002009-03-07T01:10:00.000-08:00Glad you folks are getting something out of this. ...Glad you folks are getting something out of this.

I'm thinking over the summer I'm going to look for means of learning on my own, sort of as a side project to college.

What I have noticed is the stronger I get the more cautious I get. Why is this I wonder? No matter my skills, just stay in a ship that I used to think of as disposable. I used to think of losses as chances to learn, so I must now embrace the pop yet again.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I could not agree with you more, thanks for the tips!<BR/><BR/>VenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932080706590351719.post-64300554491604963472009-03-04T01:22:00.000-08:002009-03-04T01:22:00.000-08:00Greetings from far away Germany!I found your Blog ...Greetings from far away Germany!<BR/>I found your Blog some Days ago and I really enjoyed reading it competly :)<BR/>A really great Blog!<BR/><BR/>This Post is great too.
