EVE General Discussion

Ban all characters created before 2010 and divide their assets under the noobs! DEATH TO BITTERVETS

crap

While we thank you veteran players for making this game what it is today, for providing the necessary funding and word-of-mouth marketing that made CCP a successful company in the MMO scene, for developing EVE's economy, for creating a plethora of OOG websites and resources to stimulate gameplay, for creating lots of player-driven content within the game, for sticking up for the core integrity of the game when it is challenged by errors in judgement, for keeping the game's community alive even when bad changes do go through, for teaching new players the intricacies of the game, for the massive real-life charity efforts undertaken by your in-game wealth, for being responsible for the unique success of the world's only open-ended sci-fi spaceship MMO, and for many other reasons that cannot be mentioned here due to the constraints of space and time, we feel that it is time for you to leave.

We may be new, but we have a lot of opinions and ideas that are superior to anything you may believe in, because we are the new, enlightened, tolerant generation, and own iPhones. We know what is best for EVE, beyond anything that you might know. We have Facebook accounts and make good use of Twitter, and are thus very well-versed in the functions of social environments such as EVE Online. Our experience with mining and group-running level two missions provides us with superior credentials for dictating the direction of the game's development, because a focus on developer-made content demonstrates a true understanding of game mechanics. Our understanding of morality is that of the elite echelons of human society, of people who are responsible for all of the modern world's progress and prosperity.

But most importantly, we are entitled to get what we want because we are paying customers. In fact, if you do not leave by your own volition, we ask that you be expelled from the game by force, because your presence is clearly detrimental to the game's existence.

Keeping Bittervets, good or bad?

Let me be clear here.

This generation of players is entitled to nothing. So you pay a subscription. Guess what sunshine, I've been paying it far longer than you glorious little bastards.

Eve Online is meant to be a harsh and unforgiving environment. It's meant to be a challenge. It's meant to kick your ass, make you swear, have you throw your keyboard through your monitor, then come back for more.

If you want to be spoon fed win, you're in the wrong game.

If you expect other people to play fair, you're in the wrong game.

If you expect those of us that have fought tooth and nail with and for CCP to have this game we are all so passionate about dumbed down in any way so that you actually have a chance of understanding the beauty that already exists within it, you're in the wrong game.

If you really think I give two craps about you thinking you deserve anything, you're in the wrong game.

Work for it. Earn it. Take it. Steal it. Profit from it. Whatever it takes to get ahead, to survive. This is the sandbox. Don't like it, get the hell out of my universe.
