EVE General Discussion

Pass it around,bruv...

The fifth chart asks the main reason people subscribe. Only one reason, and 25% said the main reason is pvp. However, that does not mean it is people's only reason. I for one select the sci fi/space mmo option. However, while playing eve my main fun and purpose is pvp. So basically, if there was no pvp I would gwt bored, settle on another mmo that is sci fi based. If eve also turned into a swords and sorcery style mmo, I would go elsewhere.

Your assumption, however, that those 25% are the only ones enjoying pvp is foolish. There are many out there, like myself, who hwho selected another main reason, but pvp is our 2nd or 3rd.

In other words, don't attempt to force meaning to statistics that do not apply.

I wasn't. The OP was quoting it. However, if PvP is the main reason you play, you should indicate such. What is sad is that none of the reasons that ranked higher than PvP are even good reasons...I mean, 54% play it because it's a MMO game...?

Personally though, I think if the result had been 75% for PvP, people would be creating reasons as to why it is accurate and how it is only indicative of how Eve is PvP-centric. Whatever, like everything else, you can believe what you want and no one can convince you otherwise, so there is no point in arguing about it.

OP, C U Next Tuesday

No one's making you play, Go play X3 instead if you don't like it

The ADF touch?

This calls for a short summary for all that don't like to follow links. In that survey PVP was the most "liked activity" of all (including missioning, mining, incursions, exploration etc) with a ≈75% approval. Only 10% of EVE players disliked PvP and 30% disliked mission running.

go back to wow

Also there are 2 definitions used by the eve community for "PvP':

1) Any competitive interaction between players

2) Space combat

Even CCP's survey did not say which definition they intended. It may be the 10% who said they disliked it used the narrow definition. Many who dislike space combat PvP do like the market, exploration and such. Then those players who understand the full PvP definition, like some aspects of it, selected a "Like" option on the survey.

In other words, the survey really does not tell us how many players like PvP space combat.

Truth, with no ships getting blown up, ships and mods will stop being brought once you have what you want
If you want to build without worry of dying, I hear MineCraft is good for that

But then, a survey of 2,400 is probably as useful as these 'national surveys' that ask 1,000 people randomly off the street which is suppose to tell what a nation of millions is feeling
