Thank You CCP, Goons & EVE Players in General

Good Morning One & All

The reason I am posting this is to counter the general image that all 'Carebears' fear danger, complexity, 'Goons' & CCPs EVE Online sandbox.

You see as consummate 'Carebear' I play EVE precisely to test myself against everything that CCP & All the other players can throw against me.

So as someone who made an extra 2 Billion ISK over my usual monthly income, all due to CCP's removal of Drone Alloys, The 'Goons' Burn Jita tantrum & 'Hulkageddon'

I thought it was only fair that I came and thanked all concerned for my extra income and to encourage other 'Carebears' that you don't have to join the predators to both survive and thrive in EVE

So how did I do it.

Well I adapted how I played.

After the initial the announcement of the removal of Drone Alloys from the game I started to hoarded all my ore, as it was obvious that metal prices would go through the roof before finally falling back to a new higher steady state price.

With the announcement of Burn Jita, I gave my Jita Office a holiday and moved all my operations to Amarr.

With the announcement of 'Hulkageddon', I dusted off my Retriever and Covetor blueprints and made a few to sell at the inflated prices that would follow the heavy losses.

While both of the above raged on I also switched from hauling & mining belts, to missioning both to build my Faction standing and mining the mission deadspaces.

Nothing better than mining a mission deadspace, as even if I was scanned down, if they wanted to 'gank' me they would always arrive at the deadspace beacon and not my mining ships, thus giving me more time to react & jump to safety.

So yes the 'Goons' are an irritant & their leader a buffoon (I was in the audience at his fateful Fanfest presentation), yes CCP have made a marvellous sandbox game and yes as a 'Carebear' I enjoy adapting and surviving among all of the EVE preditors.

Finally

Yes this a disposable posting alt. I might be a 'Carebear' but I am not stupid enough to give easy intel for those EVE predators who want to get all 'Carebears' out of EVE FULLSTOP Big smile

I thoroughly enjoy adapting, surviving, thriving & irritating the hell out of the EVE predators as a result of being a 'Carebear' Twisted

So thank you CCP and all the EVE players for making one of the best games around.

Good post, would read again.

Unfortunately, the bears that have no desire to adapt will just troll the **** out of this thread.

Nice post bud, kind of conjures up the "magic middle finger scenario" if you know what i mean.

Thank you for that.

I hadn't thought of being accused of being a 'Goon' alt before I posted.

I can almost see the witch hunt in the Goon ranks now as they try to find the 'Carebear' Mole in their midsts Big smile

are you really that stupid?


course you are, this is eve after all, you know, the place where the forums are dominated by the 15% a$$hats that promote changing the game to their way of thinking.



It's posts like this that make the OP even more special.

Hey, welcome to actually "playing" Eve instead of just crying on the forums every time something doesn't go exactly as you wanted it to.

It won't be a witch hunt. They are all care bears at heart. The more they deny it the more you know its true. Thats why they gank and attack care bears so much. Unfortuntely their repressed personalities only allow them to express that love by ganking and making lives hard. If one does attack you, don't show them hate tell them you love and forgive them ShockedBig smile



That is why I think we should have a hug a Goon campaign.

It's a fking computer game, anyone who really thinks fear has anything to do with it must live such a protected life that they have no idea what real fear is.

You've taken control of your game experience and you're winning.

You're not a carebear.

Posting on this character because apparently some people get upset when they're asked difficult questions. M.

+1 to OP,

that's more or less my own feeling about EVE. All the Drama is just a backdrop to me; it gives my EVE game a sense of aliveness that I can't get in any other MMO (that's also s-f). I adapt, I don't always survive, but I have fun pretending to be a space pilot.

The bears of EVE are made of stern stuff.
