Horrible Game attracts Horrible Community.
If you want to have a different experience, start communicating with players who either lean toward the PvP aspect of the game, or at least maintain a balanced play style between PvP and PvE. Like for example, this person: https://steamcommunity.com/app/8500/discussions/1/3102389184718226013/, who posts here often.
Oh, and real vets are actually quite thankful for anyone who buys PLEX from CCP to sell on the in-game market, because it helps keep it affordable.
I see why everyone hangs out in Rookie chat, all the new people tend to not be jerks as much. I asked a question in mining about a rig slot and was ripped a new one by a fanboy who was in goonsquat or w/e the corp is, grown people kissing some fat kid's butt, sort of sad tbh. I will just get my info from youtube vids when i have questions.
cheers
Doing your own research via Google and YouTube is always a good start (you can learn 99% of the game from https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Main_Page for example). Anything that you can't get an answer for within a few minutes of looking yourself, just post a question on the forums, either here, or on the official ones. I have an AMA thread somewhere near the front page, for example, feel free to ask anything game-related there.
I wouldn't shut yourself out though. Those people are small, in many ways. Once you move to more sensible channels/Corps, you'll rarely see ♥♥♥♥ like that. There are actually mature people that play this game too, believe it or not. It's just that the wise are mostly silent. But you hear the simpletons all the time.
The worst things I've ever heard in the game came from high-sec miners and mission-runners. They verbally abused me as a PvP player while I was hunting them, and they verbally abused me as a PvE player while I was (pretending to be) one of them, just as they constantly verbally abuse each other. I've seen cancer wished on other players just for mining in the same asteroid belt, death on family members wished for touching someone's wreck, and even threats of real-life rape and murder for the most trivial of offenses.
About the worst thing I've ever heard from other PvPers is some light smack-talk when trying to goad their targets into undocking or making some kind of operational mistake. And overall, PvPers are extremely verbally benign, and in fact very helpful. As I pretended to be a carebear, I've had them offer help and advice even though they were hunting me. In fact, I myself have been doing that too (often without even noticing it), by pointing out mistakes and offering tips when I see that someone is doing something incorrectly.
Players who fight understand the value of friendship and brotherhood, because it helps keep them alive in the trenches. Carebears like you, who are only concerned about their own profit and well-being, are the worst individuals in the game, by far.
And as everyone else said, it tend to be carebears who are purely for the profit and not the friendship or fun.
I was not talking about your personally and if you expect to be praised for helping peeps, dont help. Also, its not profit. Its not Entropia Universe where game money can be converted to real cash. Its isk, its like WoW gold coins and no different, and its dirt cheap to buy, and the majority of players does it. Thats why Eve Online is still available.
Look, you're going to have to decide whether you want to put in the time to find good people with whom to play. Though most EVE players are completely normal, regular people, an amicable multiplayer experience isn't guaranteed. The best advice we can give you is to ignore the big public channels, and instead focus your efforts on finding a corporation to join - one that will nurture you through the initial learning process. And if you have any questions, to ask them on the forums, and/or get in touch with veteran players with an established reputation.
But if a few trolls in a public channel have soured your entire experience so much that you're willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater, so to say, then maybe it's fine to cut your losses early, and move on from the game. Though I doubt you'll have a much different experience in any other game, as all games have their share of trolls.
Also, based on your posting in general, I highly doubt you've engaged in PvP in any significant capacity. Most likely showed up to a fleet op or two, and think that it makes you an expert on the subject matter. But it doesn't. I've never met a single real PvPer (from any preferred area of space) who shared your viewpoints, which coincide quite a bit with those of the high-sec carebear, or the null-sec krab. Basically, you wouldn't be railing against PvP and PvPers if you were actually engaged in that sphere of gameplay.
So it's not profit, but it actually is a profit. Can you be a little bit more coherent here?
People profit when they earn ISK.
People profit, or gain satisfaction, when they're trolling in mining chat.
Anyway as I reiterate, stay away from mining chat unless you're looking for something similar to a global chat in your typical mmo complete with shietposting.
