EVE University graduates their students with a particular brand of carebear attitude that I feel is extremely damaging to the future of EVE Online.

...

If EVE University were an actual teaching organization, consisting of a few hundred dedicated teachers and the couple hundred actual newbies that pass through their doors every three months, then I would support that organization unequivocally. What EVE University actually has become is a dedicated carebear organization, where 1000 members have nothing at all to do with the teaching of any newbie. It's a self-interested collection of risk-averse industrialists who use the University's claim as a teaching organization to voice their loud displeasure with the dangers and risks of EVE Online. Even now we see CCP bowing to this pressure, as high security space becomes even safer.

What EVE University needs to do is to get back to their original mission statement. They need to kick 1000 people to the curb, refocus on what they once did best -- teach new players this amazing game. They need to teach people that this game was built on the concept of conflict, and teach them that conflict drives everything good about this game. Sadly, they've been doing just the opposite, and I think the large part of the blame can firmly rest with the bloat of 1000 carebears that they've permanently and detrimentally acquired over the years.


That was the TL;DR. Click for the complete post at my blog.

I'm tired of reading you cry about E-UNI.

If you want risk, go to low-sec. If you want conflict, convince the null-sec carebears to actually start fighting eachother.

Null-Sec needs to HTFU and stop crying to CCP. If null-sec wants PvP, they need to stop being carebears and start fighting eachother - after years of bot-mining, they have the ships!

Because CCP is starting to listen to the carebear whining and it is ruining this game. EVE University is at the forefront of that whining. They churn out most of the carebears in this game.

So CCP should listen to null-sec cearbear whining?

Null-Sec needs to HTFU and stop crying to CCP. If null-sec wants PvP, they need to stop being carebears and start fighting eachother - after years of bot-mining, they have the ships!

All I saw in the blog & post was crying about people manipulating the game to suit their needs.

How do you condense so much stupid into such a short post? This line is literally the only piece of your blog based in the reality outside your mind...

It *really* butt-hurt you when they booted you out, yeah, we get that.

Grow up and HTFU, ffs and get some therapy...

Your forum posts annoy the hell out of me, one makes sense the next one if vomit.

However, I say keep making them, since clearly you enjoy it. Let EveU be themselves, they enjoy it.

Being a Carebear isn't bad in eve, it's where you get your bullets from.

You're at the forefront of defending their carebear attitudes. I'd harden the **** up if CCP wasn't working so hard to soften the **** up. EVE University is the reason why this game is become soft and doughy.

CCP has nothing to do with it child. HTFU on your own!

There's nothing wrong with carebear attitudes, if PvPers would actually want to fight real targets there would be no problem, but a lot of PvPers are just carebears anyway, hitting soft targets that rarely fight back.


As for EVE Uni, The last I heard they actually train pilots (probably just those who want to PvP) to PvP.
