Six Years' Worth of Game Time Destroyed in Pirate Raid in EVE Online

  Im still kinda confused though, what was the guy doing with the stuff, why was he transporting it? Who attacked him (if thats what happened)? And why would they destroy it?

  If I ever played EVE online, I definitely be a pirate or bounty hunter.

  Most likely he was about to sell or trade it off for epik win. Pirates just scanned his ship and saw his amazing goods and jumped him, yet they were unsuccessful in safely retrieving the goods and instead destroyed them by accident most likely.

  The guy was really, really stupid. Not having escorts and all :3

  I blame both the company for being idiots and making this a destructible item, and the player
  for transporting it in a weak ship. And yes, this would be a wonderful time to raegquit.

  
  
  I really do like this player.

  Or maybe they're epic trolls and thought it'd be funny.
  Wouldn't you be way more pissed if some mugger beat you up and burned the $1000 in your wallet instead of running away with it?
  If they don't even care about the game, the PLEX would be useless to them unless they could trade it for real cash somehow.

  Oh wow $1000.
  Good Lord that's a lot to spend on a game... especially all at once.
  And just to sell for in-game money.
  
  
  This whole situation doesn't sit right with me.
  So wasteful.

  Who exactly said all at once? It was built up over time and you can earn it ingame. (Probably)

  God I love pirates even more than I already did now.
  
  That guy deserved getting it all taken away from him. I mean it's like walking through the ghetto with stacks of money sticking out of your pockets while you look like a frail little wimp.

  At first I thought it was a bunch of hackers that raided the game due to the title.
  Oh god this game seems fun :3.
  1000$ is alot of money too.

  And this is the same game one Mabi friend of mine left Mabi for.
  
  Stupid system though. Seems like gachapon except there isn't any word of forewarning this can happen to a player.
  
  By the way, are the pirates NPCs?

  I can't believe that the game allowed them to have a way to destroy something with so much value. o.o
  
  That...really sucks.

  That's awesome.
  
  That one particular game function has got to be the best method of separating the idiots from everyone else that I've ever heard of.

  except it's more like a normal looking person in the ghetto with stacks of money inside his pocket and the ghetto had X-ray vision
  
  though I realize that person might've tried putting it on a "weak looking ship" or something to AVOID pirates xD

  I played EVE for a while, and I got to say, why the HELL would you even be in Jita with ONE PLEX? I only played a month or so, and knew to avoid Jita 5 like the plague when possible with high value cargo, let alone one of the most high valued item in the game. And why in a frigate too?
  
  Come one, I was quite the noob, and even I would never do something like that. Cant tell who is the bigger idiot though, the guy with the PLEXs or the pirates who destroyed them afterwards XD.
