There certainly were when I was playing. Gate camping does happen and
the big guys do kill off the little guys in that game when the little
guys first start to venture out of safe space.

This might be less of an issue when you aren't a noob with no clan in
the starting space but it does indeed happen.

Granted EVE is one of the best implementations of non "twitch (read
player skill)" based PvP. The clan v clan thing works very nice for
those who are into that sort of thing. It is very un-friendly to those
who don't.
