EVE General Discussion

Well basically everything that every prominent goon has said has been twisted completely out of context (please refer to the practice of adding bullshit to your argument in an attempt to give it more weight) & sheeple (otherwise known as the masses) gobble it all up & add in their own crap on top of it.

People would just use more alts.

Just because you're clueless doesn't mean everybody is.

I bet you don't believe your car mechanic either,
when he tells you what's wrong with your car.

Oh wait, you understand the fact that cars are working SOMEHOW, so I guess that's not comparable.
Too bad you don't realize that you don't know everything.


Keep staying clueless, always keep posting, it's hilarious to read about you.

I play this game because we are allowed to be the dregs of society here. The terrible reputation is what sold me on a trial account, and the cracked article from years ago about greatest video game heists. I hope eve continues to grow in its niche of being the greatest terrible game.

You're allowed to be whatever you want to be. Some people are good at being bad, others are bad at being good & think the game should be changed for them.

They already do.

The boar wasn't his purse come to life but merely his teenage girlfriend heading out to go shopping. You see earlier that day the big man-boar gave the demon sword to his mistress to sell on the open market, as well as to buy some sharpening stones for his axe. When he came upon his mistress who you so willingly sliced to pieces he was filled with grief and rage and went out to seek justice for his loss. Upon finding you throwing the money all over the ground he thought you were clearly attempting to bribe him and that sent him into a massive rage...thus the hacking with an axe.

Nope. It wouldn't be around long enough for it to become your 'better place'. What works for other companies and other games doesn't work for EVE, because EVE is INTENDED to work against the grain of what players can expect. That's where its appeal lies. Don't know why it's so hard for you to understand that EVE isn't every other game on the market.

This thread reminds me of my experience with my work friend. I tried over the course of several weekends to help him acclimate himself to EVE. The type of MMO he plays is very different (Defiance) so he told me that EVE seemed very slow. I tried not to give him any formulas for play to blindly try. I told him about things that are important in the game and tried to be a "live Aura" for him so that he could step through the tutorial.

He didn't want to read about Skills. He really didn't want to experiment with the fitting window. One of the first tutorial missions gave him a turret but no ammunition, and it was an inconvenience for him to spend any of his 5,000 ISK on some bit of ammo. He'd minimized all the chat windows (they were always filled with spam or meaningless jabber in Defiance).

I really couldn't figure it out.. I felt like I was talking jibberish because he'd tune out when I'd try to explain game mechanics to him. If he ever figured out how to undock in a Venture, it would be very likely he'd have no clue if a Catalyst came and blasted him to bits.

I admit I was pretty wide eyed and clueless for a few days, but I remember asking questions nonstop. After burning through a 21-day trial of accomplishing nothing, he's made it halfway through a regular 14 day one having finished training Repair Systems I (he never went back to his Skill Queue, not for lack of me trying to direct him back to it).

It felt very much like I'm trying to speak in a foreign language to somebody who doesn't understand a word I'm saying. My friend plays a lot of Minecraft, building elaborate things that I think I wouldn't have a clue (or the patience) to build. So I can't really explain what happened.

I have to suspect that experiences like his are not uncommon. Of course players like him are totally incompatible to the game.

I can see how I would stop playing EVE if it were somehow changed to cater to him. Does that make my view toxic or unwelcoming?

I think a lot of people have problems with how the EVE community says things on the forum. People should get over that and look at what the community is saying.

Defiance isn't *that* bad (particularly for a game with no subscription fee).

But it's basically violenceporn. Highly appealing if you have no attention span.
