EVE General Discussion

He makes EVE look fun. CCP, you need to advertise more "fun' and less "serious" sides of EVE.

As so often i can't watch the video because i live in a stupid country

I watch his vids aswel. I also love his attitude. He is new to the game well fairly new so has zero burn out.

However you need to consider that his attitude towards the game in regards to taking risks with limited xp and sp. are due to him having ALOT of isk far more isk than a new player would normally have. He gains a lot of isk from his buddy program link and player donations. He would not be so upbeat about losing ships etc if he didn't have a lot of isk . He's just a excited new player who doesn't have to grind isk like other newbee's

Those rich old players are grumpy old burnt out husks. To be new and rich is very rare.. this guy being getting isk from making youtube vids, buddy programs and donations etc. And good for him I love his vids. I was just pointing out that its the reason he's got a great attitude.

You can definitely stay poor a long time trying to highsec mine in a venture. That much is for sure. Hopefully most newbs come to grips with that sooner rather than later.

Rich players who still log in and do stuff are generally quite cheerful. 1t plus is rich btw, not the berks who burn themselves out grinding into a super then rage quit.

I have 5 billion ISK, 43 frigates, and two entire regions of war targets. I feel pretty rich atm.

I finally got home from work and could watch this.

My main is an older player now (2009) and I dont consider myself rich. Probably because I am more concerned with having fun then being a rich SOV holding bastard. Some newer players consider me rich though since Its not common for me to see people older then I am in the areas I work in. When I see someone my age or older... something is usually either going on or people are hauling out of null. I've given 10 mil to month old guys just because they where cool. I suppose if I sold everything I would have one hell of a chunk of change but still.

Because I prefer the type of gameplay the guy in the video does and I still want to make the game fun, but at the same time can fly a lot of stuff and know how to make isk when I need, Ive never ventured away from lowsec / WH trolling like this. Believe it or not, there are people like me that are training there alts for Jump freighters that still go out of there way to have simple fun and be goofy.

Our little corp actually left a large alliance that fought in the tourneys, because we got tired of the crap in favor for this type of thing. Like the rage quit mail earlier today, we got tired of being the alliance leaders *****. We where in there main PVP corp before starting our own smaller corp in the alliance crap but it wasnt enough so we left. Now we are a handfull of people trying to find new members like this guy.

We are struggling at the moment because we are small and we are all old enough to the point that most people leave at this point but we consider ourselves to be part of the small outcast group of EVE that prefers to laugh our asses off and actually play the game when we get together. We believe that lowsec / NPC null, and WH space shenanigans either solo like that guy or in small groups where everyone knows eachother is the best way to play.

The hell with taking orders or paying rent.. we gunna have fun and and show the loudmouths one for given the chance. And if we loose a ship or 6 along the way whatever. A smaller group that knows what they are doing picking off a few peope from a larger group following orders from one person that knows what they are doing is always more fun.

I like that guy.

I like his attitude. I don't like his editing.

Nice vid, editing was not all THAT bad imo.

Good stuff, keep em coming!
