Edit: In fact, we should create a group that specifically targets these so called "casual gamers".


you've been doing a good job of that without the extra feature judging by how many bounty notifications i get from you.

I like the part about you "MIGHT" have fun someday, if you work your ass off, the best. I am obviously doing it wrong, having fun without sweating and working like a madman. I thought this was a videogame, ultimately played for fun, boy was i wrong!

Thanks for showing me the error of my ways, i shall go repent and flog myself until i am biomassed or something.

In many of the defensive cries from hi seccers attempting to justify that hi sec is balanced I've been seeing a recurring theme: "I won't go to nullsec because I don't want to help build your empire. I want to build one with my RL friends."

"I won't go to nullsec because I don't want to help build your empire. I want to build one with my RL friends."

This is the epitome of the fundamental misunderstanding hi seccers have about the nature of this game. It is based on 3 incorrect assumptions.


  1. I Am Special - Nobody is special. Everyone is a worthless until proven otherwise. Your value is solely what you bring to the community.
  2. EVE is Relaxing - EVE has never been relaxing. It has been about hard work and commitment. You might have fun, but it will take a lot of work to get there.
  3. EVE is About Small Gang / Solo - EVE has never been balanced around small gang or solo, and this has never been pushed by any of the advertising. In fact the opposite is pushed.


So what do you resort to? You resort to blaming the evil nullseccers for all your problems and talking about how unfair it is that you might lose, or that setting up your 5 man alliance in the middle of Deklein won't work, or that you got blobbed. Then when that doesn't work you cry about how important it is to be a "casual gamer".

The definition of casual gamer seems to be pretty flexible these days. I didn't know grinding missions or ice mining for 14 hours a day was casual.

Anyway, the nerf will happen. Summer is coming.

    you (and your opinion) just don't matter to fact if nerf will come or not.

    If only things were easier the smaller the group you're in, instead of the opposite being true.

    I can say ironically that the smaller a gang is the easier it is to manage/trust everyone is doing the right thing.

    Coordinating multiple blobs is so easy, a moron could do it.

    In other words, highsec should be able to beat us up easily since they clearly outnumber us.

    question is: do you worth attention of high-seccers?
    i think you don't

    Meh... you can have fun in an alliance. It just depends on the alliance. Right now the game is geared in such a way that not enough people care about alliance warfare. I think that will change in the next year or two. I actually had a lot of fun when I was in the snigg noob-training corp. I've been in other corps that had wildly different styles of play and objectives, and each was fun in their own right. It's not 'work' when you are on a team and everyone is working toward some goal or just having fun. You just have to shop around for a group that is doing what you want to do... and that isn't easy since there are so many different groups out there.
