The bullies and gankers come out in force on the weekend. So Friday through Sunday, if you're a miner, you might want to think twice about bothering to play the game. Also, evenings after about 4pm EST until about 2am EST things get rough. Note the time zones, North American prime gaming hours are the worst.
Of course, if you don't mine, or transport goods as a career, this won't affect you as much. But mission runners should keep their eyes open for thieves and those that will try to trick into aggressing them for PvP battles, which mission ship configurations tend to fair very poorly for PvP.
That of course raises a question... If your main playing time is North American peak hours, and you want to be an industrial or mining player, is it even worth playing this game? Of course that answer varies for each player. Many miners simply move between different regions. Just like in a real city, if one area becomes a gang bang ghetto, people who are able move to another district. That happens a lot in Eve Online with the miners and industrial pilots. Of course, the bullies know this and do tend to follow where the miners go, so be prepared to move fairly often to avoid harassment, bullying, extortion, and general abuse including getting everything you own repeatedly destroyed by players who's only thrill in life is to ruin other people's game time.
Until the next time, Fly Safe :)
