EVE General Discussion

Playing the game any f*cking way you want, that is how its intended.

One thing you can't do, is at least respect how another player plays their game.

Seems its ok to call people pubbie (used as a derogatory word to someone that isn't in your clique), but I bet you wouldn't use racial slurs in the presence of your boss who was of another color.

Seems it ok to blast other people's hulks, but I know you wouldn't walk up to some other random person on the street and just smack them in the head then laugh at their reaction (cause you wouldn't do that in real life amirite? Just slapping someone could be cause for assault )

Seems its ok to steal money and assests, but in real life you wouldn't really steal from your company or bust into your neighbors house to steal their flat screen (if your not firing off knuckle children in the privacy of your neighbor's house while watching something on that flat screen )

You can only do those aspects in EVE, because you can get away with it and it is a form of self empowerment: I can do anything to you, therefore I am better then you

So, tl;dr aspect is you can play the damn game any way you want and thats how its intended.

I don't play the game how you play, but somethings I learned quickly is to be derogartory to some dreddit loudmouth like yourself brings a shitstorm down on them. Blowing up hulks is like blowing up level 4 battle ships, cause hulks die just as easily and I don't need some KM to prove I am better. I don't need to steal assets, because I make enough to suit my needs and because trust has zero value there is no way in hell I am going to trust another player in EVE (if someone wants to play the "rouge rogue" bad ass you are going to have to try way f*cking harder to get to know me then steal my stuff other then fishing local crap-contracts and calling yourself a scammer - BTW at least RL scammers made REAL money instead of fake virtual currency )

:rant:

The vast majority of minerals are coming from the Drone Regions. Instability in the regions are hurting the supply of the minerals.

Also, I know very few PVP'ers that don't have industrial alts. The world will not end if a few highsec miners and manufacturer's rage quit from suicide ganks.

Dear sweet pubbie. Your tears are like life sustaining nectar to those who kill you. I would like to say that you are dumb, but I know that it's not really your fault that you're like this

True mining is an activity that the devs put in the game, but times have changed since beta, and we can't ignore present day realities. Mining is so boring and monotonous that the players have built bots to automate it for them. CCP I think turns a blind eye to illegal botting because if it were to disappear suddenly the economy would probably fall apart, because not enough players can bear the thought of spending their game time mining when they can do practically anything else in the game and get more isk/hour.

You're playing a game that goes to great lengths to have one single un-sharded universe full of thousands of players. If all you do is shoot red crosses or mine rocks with the extent of your interaction with other players being chatting in corp or sperging in local because someone flipped your can or stole your salvage, then yes I think that I have reasonable grounds for accusing you of playing the game wrong.

But as I said, it's not your fault, Eve doesn't train the player how to play like other games do.

Compare your newbie experience in this game with that of Evian Drinker's newbie experience, a 1 day old player who on his first day helped tackle and kill three Tengus. We have another newbie, Orion Winters who got a warp-in on a Nyx Supercarrier on his second day, first supercapital kill of 2012. On your second day you were mining Scordite in your Bantam or grinding level1 missions. Can you imagine how different your Eve life would have been if you had that kind of start?

Please try to understand where we're coming from. We're playing the game as it was intended. We're interacting with each other in a multiplayer game like we're supposed to. We interact with each other all the time, cooperating and helping each other (or not sometimes). we interact with neutrals and reds using the myriad of ships and modules explicitly designed by CCP for combat.

We're doing all the things that CCP keeps making (very misleading and misrepresentative) trailers about. CCP don't make trailers about solo mining or mission running publords in high-sec for very good reason.
