EVE General Discussion

Yes, I'm fully aware they are free and run off of ads, but they alienate their readers. I used to primarily read EN24 as I liked the blog cross posts. Now I go there maybe once a week to cherry pick the articles I care about and just go straight to the bloggers for the rest. I'm certainly not saying anyone is entitled to anything, but if they want to take their site seriously they need to read and respond to feedback, which they do not appear to be doing.

EDIT: And just to clarify, no one is asking for action. We are simply stating our opinions about the trash articles and EN24 can feel free to take on board or ignore the posts here as they see fit.

Well their allies left them so they have to come up with their own strategies. Good for us.
And after they got their 300b isk injection or whatever it was.

Don't you know the old saying about train wrecks? They are so terrible but once they happen you can't look away. Also instead of being a smartass perhaps you could actually read the EN24 articles where he fumbles around trying to put a spin on things he knows nothing about.

I'm not entirely sure it's possible for TEST to be losing quicker than they are. Have you seen the fountain changes for the past 3 days?

Yeah, most of us have been saying all along that the batphoned alliances wouldn't play it out to the end. TEST had a window of time to set strategy and build a proper defense. Instead they chose to welp and lead there members to death. Now their members are showing up for less and less fights, and with the allies pulling out, there's no way they can hold the line.

Though honestly I think one of the biggest issues was the way they handled SRP. They said "Yes, we're broke, but look, we've paid the whole SRP queue". This was a bad idea.
Think of it from a members point of view. You've been waiting for up to a few months for your SRP payout with no movement. Then finally they pay you your SRP. But at the same time they announce financial defecit. Why the hell would you buy a new ship and send that out to die? You probably won't get the SRP back for that one for years.

An I know, not everyone thinks with their wallets and there's a lot of loyal members, but there will be a fair amount of people either not showing up or showing up cheap from this, which put further strain on the group. then as more members start to splinter off the individuals get more and more pressure on them. It's a bad way to be.

Personally I'd have built as many doctrine ships as possible and contracted them to people to show up in. This way you are providing advanced SRP, and as long as you monitor it for abuse, you can be putting their minds at ease in advance, in turn encouraging them to show.

i've read his articles. I found nothing to like, so i don't read them.

The train wreck thing is just an excuse for someone who wants to force someone else to stop talking. Sorry, while I think the guy is a tool (based on my brief examination of his writing), i also think I don't have to read it, so there is no problem worthy of a butt hurt sounding GD thread.

goblin contributes pageviews to riverini, which is literally the only thing he cares about besides his seething hatred of goons

you should try not to read eve24, kugu, coad, and all other demoralizing trolling politic crap site and your eve will become much more interesting and not so much depressing anymore...

EVE 0.0 is moar about players "state of mind" than who's blowing up which amounts of spazship pixes...

Personally i think there are enough elitist players in EvE that moan on about how they want EvE to be, and how they think others should play the game, that a different perspective is welcome at times. EvE is compairable to WoW exactly because it's an MMO, and though the two are extremely different, its an important comparison to make to try to temp those players over to our side. I mean, seriously, why moan about another persons opinion when it doesn't completely match your own? Do you honestly expect everyone to play the game for exactly the same reasons as you? Oh yeah, i forgot, they must be playing the game wrong!

I'd argue that those who want to play EvE for all the reasons the elitists hate, such as living in a completely safe highsec, have just as much a right to their opinion as anyone else. Those that disagree with them can go and gank them to their hearts content. Such is the beauty of EvE. But ultimately it's simply an excuse to get a nice fresh supply of easy kills, rather than actually doing PvP in the areas of the galaxy where it's supposed to happen.

At the very least, i'd recommend you don't read blogs by people whom you don't agree with. Stick to your own opinionated box and you'll be much happier.

Exactly, TMC is the only place to go for your EVE news.
