There's really no need to read too much into it. It's pretty apparent from our simple English that many of us believe Ripard to be little more than a rabble rousing **** stirrer.

Wow. Ive often noticed how the supposedly griefer-dominant community of Eve really only exist in the forums itself.

But those forums? Im sorry to say, but most people commenting here are a collection of ********* and most of them represent themselves in nearly every thread that comes along. If I were a potential new player and had a look at the forums first (which are public) before trying the game itself (which you have to download and register for first), I would shy away in an instant.

My god, people...

This is obviously not true. Try asking for help in New Citizens Q&A, W&T, Market, Skill, Ships&Mods or Industry subforums. Everybody will go out of their way to help you.

GD is a bit different, sure Lol but there are lots of smart, funny and helpful posters here too.


or go in to any of the in-game channels that the 'griefers' frequent, and they'll be more than happy to help you as well.

Then again, if you can only be "helpful" by fawning over people like ripard, hanging from his every word and enjoying his flavour of gentlemen's relish then unhelpful is what i'd rather be.

As is the case on most gaming forums. If newbies stick to technical areas, they can be spared the emotional minefield that is often a General Discussion forum, and save themselves minutes of psychological evaluation and treatment later on.

A few people have been envious of Jester's influence for years. They never could stop the signal, but I guess they finally did convince the person producing the signal that the community wasn't worth the effort.

Funny what happens when a target of that much hate removes himself from the situation. The implosion when his detractors have nothing else to do with their time will be spectacular.

Ripard,

You will always have a spot in our New Order enforcement fleets if you want to have some fun in EvE. Please follow the instructions HERE to get started.

Good luck to you!

I realize that a lot of you out there really want to keep New Eden as your own private little club, no noobs allowed, go back to WoW, et cetera ad nauseam. But some of you must feel differently. If you want the game to succeed, how do you not worry about it? Are we so enamored of griefing people that we subconsciously want EVE to flame out and die so we can sit down with some popcorn and watch it happen? In my darkest moments, I feel like this is exactly it. There are lots of current and former EVE players that seem positively gleeful at the prospect of watching CCP implode spectacularly.


(Underlining is mine)


That premise is flawed, EvE has always been a free-for-all, and it hasn't imploded for 10 years. I would argue that the changes to curb 'greifer' activity in high sec will hurt the game more, as it's ruthlessness is a big part of EvEs appeal to many, many players.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I agree with OP, this is a body blow to community provided content & Jester's Trek will be sorely missed - especially by those that are capable of independent thought.

Far be it from me to begrudge a man a pitchfork Blog but i think he ruined that for himself.

Independent thought.

This is really hilariously ironic.

90% of the people around do not even know how to spot one,
but will always believe they found one whn it agrees with their own POV.


Can we get this thread locked now? It lacks actual content.
