Bittervets are bitter about change, change in anything they have become accustomed to, i.e ship spinning, dreads, hybrid superiority (once apon a time). Another example would be BOB, they were bitter as fuck about goonswarm as noobs destroying HACs in rifters, they were not accustomed to large amounts unskilled pilots killing them.

No. But n00bs like to say so because, as n00bs, they are clueless as to the real causes no matter how often they are explained.

In reality, most of the bitterness comes from an startling lack of change.

They are bored, simples.

If these vets tried something different instead of doing the same tiresome alliance maintenance rubbish every day they might find the game has a lot more to offer.

Confirming bitter vets haven't got the slightest idea about the multitude of different activities that EVE provides, unlike 1-2 year noobs.

QFT

Add

they hate how noobs can make money where they didn't/couldn't/won't
they hate PI cos they can't shoot it
they hate missions because the kills don't go on the kb
they hate plexes/anoms 'cos "leets" don't rat
they hate mining cos the noobs don't want to get blown up, they'd rather mine
they hate noobs that might like the direction CCP is taking
they hate the fact that noobs dare to question their intelligence everytime someone calls them stale old farts

Worst of all, Eve is what it is BECAUSE of the "bittervets" and yet, ask yourselves, why the "bittervets" cry the loudest about stagnation? CCP DOES bring changes but it's called "BAD" because it doesn't suit the "bittervets".

Might find that CCP is very aware that the "bittervets" will eventually leave regardlesss of what CCP do and so they need new ways to attract new blood in an everincreasign ADHD society.

"bittervets" resent the game changing at all for the betterment of newer players - at the expense of their own idea of what Eve should be.

It's only a "sandbox" when it suits their arguments. It's never a "sandbox" when a noob decides to mine or mission instead of PvP.

"He's not being part of MY "sandbox" environment!! - damned noob!!"

One thing for sure OP, they LOVE your post. Cos they get to call themselves "vets"....

PS: Now that I've said all this, I'll be called dumb, stupid, a noob, pubbie etc. by the intelligentia bittervets.... Of course, I've only been here 3 years. The difference with me and "bittervets" is that I'm not bitter.... I simply learned to be in charge of my own destiny and I don't wait for the silver spoon handouts.


TL;DR; BitterVets are just veterans at being bitter. Only common denominator is location.

Really?

Chuckle, only ever been bitter at technical failure.

Dying without firing a shot sort of failure

People moaning about the game changing are the sort of dinosaurs that demand everyone using VCRs, land lines, type writers and tape deck Walkmans

Got little patience for em, they get as much respect. Could see that coming across as bitterness

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

I can refute every word in the above verbal vomit, but what is the point arguing with a mentally challenged deaf whiner?
