EVE General Discussion

OP: Dude, get a feckin' job! I feel like my eyes were viciously raped by your wall of text. You're illusion of self-importance is absurd and should be punished by constant podding. There are obvious problems, but your calls so-called "manifesto" is almost so verbose and akin to the sort of rhetoric that would even make a WWII era Nazi say, "TL;DR".

Put down the keyboard, go outside, and find a woman who may be kind enough to grant you access to her genital region. On second thought, scratch that. I'd hate for your progeny to infest our already screwed up gene pool. Just stop posting.

TL:DR

Got the impression of butthurtedness, and some sort of tears about miners.

Quoted for bump and for support. The fight begins today.

I don't think he wanted to play EVE. Not that kind of EVE, not that way.

But that's the thing about multiplayer games.

No shame in not reading and just posting. This is the EVE-O Forums: General Discussion, after all.

I used to build big tower blocks when I was a young un. This experience was entirely satisfactory on its own, and would probably not be improved by someone knocking down my tower at a random time(I preferred to do that myself really).

I've done the whole "getting emotionally involved in high-risk online worlds" thing before. Sure it provides a lot of emotion, but its not really sustainable. Eventually I realised I was never going to get to be part of the top tier who gets to inflict losses instead of sustaining them without spending thousands of RL $, so I quit.

Don't be silly. If they read it, they might be convicted which would have to be suppressed in order for them to ask CCP for more protection without looking guilty enough to be CONCORDed.

This kind of thing, you have to look away. In real life, you'd call it extremist or whatever to make sure as many people as possible do not read it. The opposite of propaganda.

Yeah. EVE is like that, there's consequences.

I hear that, uh, just about every other mmo ever provides the no-losing type of gameplay you appear to be endorsing.

Wow, that was long.

While I do agree that ganking hisec miners is a fun pastime for all, some of your leaps of logic are a tad too far for me to handle. Personally, I believe CCP is working towards making CONCORD unnecessary with the new wardec mechanics and can-flipping resulting in everyone being able to shoot you - there will likely be a proliferation of police corps or something, and there will also be a proliferation of people figuring out exactly which cans are worth flipping, and then doing so as fast as possible. (The previous is all speculation).

Seriously, James 315, you make good points. But like your last manifesto (which I read in it's entirety), the first half was well-written and logical. However, once you finished the description of podkilling the Orca pilot, the quality of your rational thought swiftly sped downhill. Yes, the hisec miners have done quite a lot to make hisec living safer - but then, isn't it supposed to be safer than the other areas of New Eden?

Hisec is the heart of Empire space, and like any long-established civilization, the desire there is not for the continual discovery available to wormhole dwellers like myself or the push and pull of capsuleer warfare in nullsec. Rather, the desire is for safety, order, and stability. Is that desire, voiced by a presumably vocal minority, strangling EVE? Possibly. However, as long as nullsec, lowsec, and w-space provide an environment for the nonconsensual PVP we all love, making hisec safer, but not completely safe, does not strike me as a threat to EVE itself.

I wanted to read it all, but it started turning into a novel. Why not draft a summary with links to dropbox for the longer pieces.
