Yes, I realize - his name is... HE'S A TROLL RAWR RAWR RAWR

Im not actually, I like Malkavians, Antisocial cause I dont see the point in being social in a game where the catch phrase basically is "trust noone"

know whats funny in this game? Ppl throwing the antisocial personality disorder tag. Like thats a BAD thing in a game that espouses things like killing ppl and stealing their wallets.
Being social in a game where trust is a liability (one would think) would be a good thing not a bad to be LESS social rather than more?
And youd think ppl in this game would aspire to the ideal of what used to be called a sociopath in this game as well, given that this isnt exactly a game for white knight types.
A conscience would be a liability if youre a ganker, pirate, scammer, pretty much any lucrative profession in EVE in RP anyways.

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

When people here say social they mean "manipulative". This is really the heart of the issue.

It is plain stupid to be antisocial in a multiplayer game. You are not only limiting your options, but your potential. Being social does not require complete trust.

In a game where you can and will get wardecced for saying "hi" in the local channel.....
"Social" becomes a liability. Which was my point.

You stated yourself it's all about scamming, stealing, and killing. Being manipulative generally furthers those goals considerably. Being antisocial denies you some potential opportunities to make cash and tears. You have to understand the viewpoint of the predator as well as the prey to get the full picture.

Yes but the ones QQing about ppl being ASPD are usually the prey so youd think theyd want you to be MORE antisocial so they dont GET preyed on so much.
Unless its one of those S&M things where it takes one to HAVE the other

well less S&M more good an bad or light and dark

You can trust that someone in EVE is not to be trusted, they feel the same about you so there you have common ground to be social.

Aren't you being social just by posting this thread for everyone to see?

If you were really antisocial, you'd keep your brain farts to yourself.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

@OP: The best point was already made, and you dismissed it. I hope you enjoy playing solo.

I'm not antisocial, I just realise that the vast majority of people on this planet are clueless ******* morons whom I refuse to interact with in a positive manner.

It is not bad at all - its most wanted social skill in EVE.

Protip: most of the people who think this are, in fact, clueless ******* morons themselves. you don't know everything (or even very much). any intelligent person knows this. assuming others are morons for not knowing the same things you do, while not attempting to find out what they do know, is the mark of an idiot - and being so socially incompetent that you withdraw entirely is the mark of a coward.

If you never trust anyone or be social how is it possible to have good adventures? The best is to make friends with the enemy!~ If someone scams you write them a happy mail. If you are exploded tell them they did a fantastic job. When you bump noses on gate accidentally, giggle and apologize.

Soon you will have more good than ever was thought before!

It's an MMO. X3 is for when you want to play solo.

Edit: Even Hitler, Caesar and Genghis Khan needed help. Being evil is no reason to be antisocial.

Edit 2: **** you CCP. You're censoring names now? Seriously?! Eat my ****.
