Out of Pod Experience

To those that responded with a modicum of understanding and/or empathy: thank you for being better.

To the rest: thank you for proving my point.

I always wonder when I see posts like this. I mostly meet pretty nice people.

I don't think your statistics are accurate.

If you take just the forums, which are a very small portion of the playerbase, look at the posts in Newbie Questions / Answers, all of the various profession sub-forums, Features and Ideas Discussion, etc., and just in general any subforum other than General Discussion, and you'll rarely see complete "degenerates"; it's mostly decent, helpful replies.

General Discussion tends to be pretty bad, but basically my point is if you compare the number of posts in GD vs. the number of posts in the other sub-forums, you get way more than 20% "decent people".

This game certainly does not have the pink fuzzy helpful atmosphere that you find in PVE games like WoW, SWTOR, etc., because we pvp here.

I'd guess that the general attitude is nobody cares about you; you're not special in any way, so why should they care?

Personally, I'm somewhat sad to see another player decide to quit, but it's a game, people quit it when it's no longer fun for them. I've taken multi-year breaks; depends on what the devs are implementing and whether the features are interesting to me. Without sarcasm, good luck with other games.

What about me? I did two responses, each on opposite ends of the spectrum.

That's just your trolling style where you like to post hoping for a response.

You're alright though. Crazy, but otherwise ok.

OP, sorry you feel that way. It's not my experience in the game and I generally meet extremely friendly people, even those I'm in direct conflict with in game, or those with completely different views on things. Move the character aside and the people I meet are some of the nicest I'd ever hope to come across.

To me, the community is a lot tougher judging itself than the reality of it. Most people here are pretty good.

Just my opinion though, so no more valid or correct than yours. Just different.

congratulations on channelling the right hand of darwin

love it.

"In Your Mom" calling someone else a degenerate.

I see no lie, did you or did you not whine in local?

Her point is, if you would have been understanding that your loss was no one's fault but your own and maybe asked what you should have done differently instead of crying like a child then their response would have been entirely different.

It is the culmination of a shiptoast, and some good ol fun. The masterpiece was created by ShahFluffers.

I don't need to ask why it happened, because I know. I try to avoid PvP, so when it's forced upon me, I am generally unprepared. People like you are completely lacking in empathy while playing this game, so I received none. Hence, my ship was destroyed.

Simple.

And by the way, I really am/was (already canceled my sub) broke, upon coming back to the game for a whole two days after having been gone for over a year. I cannot even rebuy the Retriever. I was "forced" into low-sec because my mission agent restricted my L4 mission to frigates or smaller, meaning I need an AF, the equipment for which I lack the skills. My only goal is to make enough money to buy a PLEX, so while training those skills, I thought to try mining. I quickly discovered how little I'd be making mining in high-sec, so I thought to try low-sec to find something slightly more worth my time. Instead, I find people like you waiting for people like me. This isn't the first time, but it is the last.
