Out of Pod Experience

After four years and being a pirate, mission runner and a miner, just wanted to say to the EVE community, later.

Most of you suck monkey balls. Some of you are complete asshats, but a few are pretty cool. Doubt I'll be back, and before anyone ask, I've already given my stuff away to other pirates, mission runners and miners.

No, I'm not butthurt, nor was I ganked or had my stuff stolen or have I been scammed. I'm leaving because like I said most of this community has changed for the worse over the last four years and this game has gone from being a very competative "dog eat dog" sort of game to a "**** on others cuz they don't play like me type of game". When the devs started dumbing down EVE, thats when I decided to leave.

Later, dumbasses.

Contract your stuff to me so i may PVP much more frequently.

Honestly sounds like you need a break from the forums, not the game.

In any case, good luck.

If you're a gamer ... You'll be back. If not (or much of a gamer) ... See ya, sucks to be you and good luck with whatever. I do feel the same way, but they are coming back on the right path and I can see they are learning their mistakes and making eve better. Playing the game for over 6 years, so man up. Maybe you're hanging around with the wrong group of people in Eve.

Sure community are jerks, but it doesn't mean they all are!

What the hell is raiding? And I can "hack" it as you say, just tired of listening to players like you who think they're better than everyone else.

You obviously can't read, dumbass.

If you act this way then good riddance, you're part of the problem that you've complained about.

Good luck in your travels fellow capsuleer!

Perhaps you will be back, after you find out not many MMOs out there offer the same masochistic deliverance of utter nihilism and crushed hopes as EVE.

From the tear fueled engines of the Winmatar to the Vampire blood pumped vessels of the Amarr, I doubt you will ever find a more "wretched hive of scum and villainy" as EVE anywhere else.

Yes, game changes, but sometimes, just sometimes, its just ourselves that finally can look at the game from the outside and not the inside.

The change of continual mental growth is what makes us human, forcing us to reconsider older viewpoints as no longer valid, and your dissertation only proves that you have finally realized how rotten to the core EVE is.

I have been here sin 2005, stalking the forums, and trust me, game keeps being the same community wise, thing is, we just have way more vocal people than before and certain issues were more easily dismissed whereas now we have a lot more venues of finding out info, even if we are not really looking for it, regarding the game.

I will never be able to leave this rotten filthy cesspool of a game, or better said, forums.

The entertainment value of hundreds of voices crying out for attention in a game where you can actually track the voices and sometimes the alts just by simple use of social data mining, is just great, and for me at least, connecting dots and trains/chains of thought amongst the forumites is just too damn fun.

This god forsaken hellmouth known as the eve forums entice in me an utmost admiration and curiosity, like a Dark Ages alchemist willing to discover the lapis philosophorum by walking right into the Abyss of Eternal Torment, just to peer as close enough to the Void to be able to listen to the endless cacophony of screams, squeals and sheer cries of terror trying to pick one, just one, that will give him the last piece of the puzzle amidst the madness.

And here I am , alone in my own hell, living within a hell, trying to shred the cobwebs of my own insanity just to find out the last remaining pieces of the puzzle that has devoured my soul.

I cannot leave Sir, I cannot!

Yet as you walk out of the Swirling Vortex of Despair and try to gaze outside, perhaps, just perhaps, you will then see with unclouded eyes the dullness and bleakness of the worlds out there. And in a lonely night, when the Moon is Waning, and all you can hear is the chilly wind coming from the south reeking of manflesh, you will yearn to swim though again the eternal river of Damnation again, for you are no longer of the world, but one of us. Babbling incessantly to the fallen Idols of Baphomet, Pazuzu and Astaroth. And our lords demand our suffering, and the suffering became our pleasure, and our pleasure born of suffering is their food.

Kneel not in defiance, but go friend, explore the outer rims of Light, cavort in the shallow happiness of the Outside, the Outer Zones, see in bright Colors and easily tameable lands, and become one with despair, for the drab palette of the uncaring eve Universe will always be there, ganwing your soul, scratching and flaying your very spirit, and so, you might decide to give in to the Void.

But who knows? You might try to defy your destiny and accursed lot, by trying to remain in hallow ground, forsaking your past and perhaps walking paths unknown to most of us, but you will always have a spot here, for here, the Abyss not only gazes into you, but grows within you.

So you may return friend, and I bid you farewell.

May your endeavors go well, and your house be always happy and plentiful, but dont forget us, for we will never truly forget you. You will always have a small cell here, bleached by the acrid smell of forgotten excreta, painted with the innards of the Lost, waiting, waiting for you ...


I salute you!

Given that the content of your initial post boils down to "You're asshats and I'm not", I find this statement highly ironic.

I agree with that, and with the general sentiment of the post.

Still, when questioning the status quo, and claiming that you're tired of people that claim to be 'better than everyone else' while simultaneously calling everyone else 'asshats'...well, the kettle is well aware of its status in regards to the pot, here.

That said, it takes a proactive community to repair the issue. We can't eliminate the problem, but we can at least use the tools we're given to remove the symptoms.
