I am cleanshaven, reasonably fit, have social skills, can talk to and occasionally even touch girls, and I also have a job. These things, combined with the fact that don't suffer from any form of autism, are preventing me from advancing into the upper echelons of TEST.

Advice pls.

For a neckbeard Eve online is their main hobby and they devote a lot of time to it. They are normally emotionally invested in the game and fail to see that people can play this game differently than they do.


What if one of those ways to play consists of the sacred crusade to save floaty space rocks from the evil miners?

Did I just divide by zero?

Not wanting to engage in PvP is fine. Learning tactics to avoid that is fine. But the cognitive dissonance in that part of your post is deafening.

lol, you spend 2.3bn on a PVE NM and then complain that some people spend too long in eve PVPing. If someone had lost a PVP ship like that I'd think 'he probably earns that passively every week/month' or 'he probably makes mad ISK/hr' in highsec I think 'how long did you spend on that Shocked'

Don't make stupid assumptions about people's real lives, all the people I know from college who play eve had long term partners, went on to Russel-group universities and competed for their varsity sailing/rowing teams. In eve they were all involved in suicide ganking and highsec wardecs at some point.

Nothing like the socially ******** slobs you make them out to be.


When you lose at a game get over it, try and learn from it and don't make pointless guesses about their real life.

3. Mercenary Corps. You will normally find a higher level of neckbeards in these corps, but it is offset by the fact that they will only fight if paid to do so. Merc work is very poor in that you are paid to do a job and you have to put the hours in. Lots of gate and station camping for long periods of time.


This of course depends on the Merc corp.. Each has their own specialization... Narwhals are great with the WH contracts... Orphans are really good at making peoples lives a living hell in HISEC.

The majority of our contracts are 0.0 and usually in the services of the power blocks.. Asset denial, and interdiction. 1 in every 10 contracts or so are usually HISEC contracts for us.

Each MERC corp has its own rules as well... I can't speak for the others, but in Noir, smack talking, logoff tactics, and can flipping will get you booted from the corp. Reason for the no smack talk, is because our targets today are often the ones employing us tomorrow. ;) We like to keep it civil.

We also will not dec corps of a smaller size than our own (on the rare event that we are on a hisec contract)

Mercenary coalition used to allow targets to BUY out contracts by basically paying more than the employer was paying... I'm actually curious if any of the current Merc corps in Eve still do that.

I too, can confirm that most hard-core MMO gamers are international playboy millionaires.

I know, right?

So silly of the OP expecting people to be literate, and possessed of an actual attention-span on the Internet!

It is silly of the OP to expect people to read his wall of text that consists of ramblings that nobody gives a **** about.

I think a lot of the people ITT are missing out on the ironic, cynical, and satirical aspects of the OP.

You obviously gave enough of one to post in it.UghTwisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Oh I don't think they're missing out. They realize the topic is about them and it isn't sitting well with them.

Hence the "OMG WALL OF TEXT!1!", "TLDR!1", etc. These parrots don't even know what 'wall of text' means. They're throwing **** at the wall and hoping some of it sticks.

Their reactions to this thread are quite funny actually P.
