As far as gameplay goes, losing 3 T2 cruisers in the space of 24h was pretty bad. First was to a good 1v1, the second was to being over-eager to catch up to a gang I'd missed by 10 minutes, and the third was due to letting the FC warp me with the rest of the fleet.

Could've used that fleetwarp exemption thing back then.

My most bitter experience is when I lost my very first Rifter to a Tengu flown by, what's his name? Turbular Knight or something?

I intend to pay him back for that loss some day.

I've derpped more fleets than I can count, but that's not the worst stuff, that's just part of pvp you get used to

My worst experience with EVE was when I was CEO of Kudzu Collective and having my left and right hand pilots leave the corp and take some pilots with them all while I was away for the weekend without any internet access.  Felt pretty stabbed in the back.  Came back on Monday and found the corp basically in ashes.  I took that pretty hard.

Ouch, understandable. I'm going to remain rather bitter about a similar thing I suspect.

my most disappointing experience would possibly be the outcome of a player created event, dating back a few years. It involved delivering items of importance to a place where they were needed. Medical supplies, that sort of thing.
Turns out, the receiving player(s) sold the items, to buy things, OOCly of course.
Dunno, just kind of feels a bit of a let down, or some kind of breach of trust or something.

This is one of those, "Fucking CCP!" sorts of situations.

I-RED had been wardecced, which was pretty usual because we have plenty of folk poking around HS doing their thing. It was a one-man alt-corp, one-day-old alt. The week ticked by, and there was nothing-- the alt never logged on, never had an uptick in numbers in the alt-corp. About an hour before the war ends, I've got some hauling to do before an appointment. I still had the guy on watch list, checked the corp and saw only the one offline character in the corp, and decided, fuck it, there's no way this could turn south. He'd have to log in to accept applications, right?

I undock in a JF, warp along the pipe toward our staging station, and five jumps down: scram. WHAT? WHERE? HOW? Little did I know that the trick with this wardec was that the applications had already been accepted, so all they had to do was get ahead of me, dock, accept the app, and then warp to the gate. There's really no way to know who the potential hostile is, and no way to hunt them down.

That really, REALLY pissed me off-- because even if I'd noticed the very moment they accepted the invite to their wardec corp, I was already locked in the warp tunnel to the gate they caught me on. I managed to slowboat back to gate, but there was already a guy on the far side, who'd accepted the application after I'd been pointed.

I know, I know-- never fly anything shiny while under wardec. That's on me. But-- seriously, CCP? That's a good game mechanic?

I very nearly ragequit and unsubbed over that.

Ouch. Not many game mechanic things make me rage, but that would do it.

[Morwen Lagann]

It's a pretty dumb mechanic, I agree, but the only way to prevent it is to not allow corporations to take on new members during a wardec, which is... well... just as dumb?

Unless maybe the restriction were limited to the aggressing corp/alliance only. Then it might be ok. Too many variables with wardecs. :\

[Mizhara]

Make corp applications take ten minutes to process. Voila.

[Makoto Priano]

Or restrict aggression for 24 hours after entering a new corporation. That right there would completely neuter that wardec mechanic.

I've had fun while flying my Providence unscouted 5 systems through low-sec, and then 8 systems high-sec while being in FW. Survived with 25% armor.

i remember this. i logged in, saw it, and was like 'wtf Mak, you should know better than to fly stuff like this during war!' then felt like an ass after you told me what actually happened....

As for myself, I don't think I've really had any horrible experiences....i've had foot in mouth experiences though. few huge raging arguments with close friends. luckily we're still close friends though.

[Halcyon]

Cloaky wormhole scout interdiction null legion, built to survive a few frigates and maybe a strong sneeze.
Chased by hostiles, jump through wormhole.
Kronos or vindicator pilot (forget which)
"Dude we can take them "
Ok fine, jump back through the wormhole, get pointed. Several points, webbed, etc.
"Dude, there's too many, I'm jumping back"

[Cmdr Baxter]

I've had a couple bad experiences. Top of the list was probably getting burned out and leaving SYNE flapping in the wind for a couple months, before Ninavask took charge and pulled things back together.

Second-worse experience was my second-ever PvP fight. I had just undocked from the Mordu's Legion station out in 5ZXX-K - this was when I was flying with CAIN - with a couple guys, I saw a Chimera sitting outside the station ... and like an idiot I panicked and opened fire. On a carrier. With a Ferox. (This was back in the pre-Drake days when Feroxes stood in as battlecruiser missileboats.)

[Cmdr Baxter]

I think I can replace my prior one. I logged into Thera post-patch and the game worked fine. Then it froze up my computer and I had to do a forced restart. This is a sampling of errors the repair tool found:
