Most? There are some very loud cries here and there that you describe, but the vast majority of players does play in open and therefore looking for a bit of adrenaline rush.
Well whether it's actually the majority or the minority is hard to tell.. Bad reactions to random PvP encounters are pretty common though.
Back when I was quite new to the game, when I first got killed by a player it dawned on me how badly I was outfitting my ships and how under-prepared for player-attack I was, so I made a conscious effort to learn and get better at ED. Players generally react in two ways to unsolicited PvP:
- A) They seek advice on tactics and builds, then adapt to hostile player scenarios accordingly, be it fighting back, defensive builds or evasion tactics
- B) They get upset and attempt to remove the threat from their game without looking at their own mistakes/wrong assumptions/low skill
