A community that accelerates a players departure from a game by posting crass and offensive comments.

So not only is this player leaving, but you are kicking them out even faster by flaming him/her.

Given CCP is a bit hard up for subs, why is this even allowed on the forums? You would think it to be a bannable offense because it utimately hits CCP in the wallet.

A kind word may keep an unhappy player. Sometimes they just need to vent and see that others understand their point of view.

Upon observation my question is, why is the douchebaggery in this forum community so prevelant and why do the mods allow it? it makes for a terrible atmosphere.

Mainly because of the petulance displayed by the OP and the arrogance that his 5 accounts somehow have any significance. We need less idiots playing this game. Who says CCP are hurting for subs anyway.

Yes, this is so true. The reason is Internet Anonymity.

The players who do this have gotten away with it for so long that they not only believe this is acceptable behavior, they also encourage others to do the same. Unfortunately this sub forum channel (General Discussion) is known for this type of behavior. Over the years this problem has gotten worst due to lack of forum moderation and community members allowing this to escalate by not using the report option..

There are still a few community members who actually contribute helpful informative replies, but they rarely post on the forums anymore.

Please don't judge Eve Online by this.

You do relize there is still a 87% chance of troll and a 35% of flame war with any thing on the EvE forums right?

I suppose this reasoning doesn't apply to all those that quit or threatened to quit over WoD and Dust, and Incarna?

then write a nice letter to the devs instead of throwing yourself to the trolls in a vain attempt at a parting shot against the company what so disappointed you.

I'm a bit of a fanatic for the WiS material as well, but you've gotta enjoy the other parts of the game too, or... well, I suppose you're just standing around inside of your quarters staring at yourself until that door opens. Tell you what, board a ship, any ship. Fly to Nakugard and I'll show you a few things you can do outside of that station.

No worries, nobody actually reads the forums except for us hopelessly Eve addicted neck-beards.

I know that was probably sarcasm, but it's sadly true, I think I may well just stick in game since most people are much nicer there ( as well as more intelligent ) and CCP's design decisions are acting like a train crash in slow motion right now.

It is ridiculous the amount of trolling that goes on in these boards, this is why I'm thankful that I hide posts of people who act like particular douchebags.

You know you think you guess? Of course the forums don't represent the true paragons of EVE. The people that matter in EVE don't post on the forums for one thing...

Welcome back.

I suggest you read this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=62568


Bearing in mind that Incarna 1.0 produced the notion of WiS with a trailer designed around commerce and politics amongst capsuleers I'd recommend you keep an ear to the ground for EVE, it might be that something completely and totally unrelated to WiS will give you a reason to re-sub.

Other than that you'll likely be coming back anyway when that branch of EVE development expands to include a more effective WiS experience within EVE.

Have fun in the meantime!

Because the OP really made a valuable and worthwhile contribution to the forum? Oh wait he didn't, he posted a petulant and whining temper tantrum.
