Well maybe if you guys didnt set your alliance up to have a "us(reddit) vs them (everyone who isnt from SA or reddit)" attitude then you wouldn't have this issue.

Quit eve, you're a part of the ******* problem that you're complaining about OP.



The only corp in Test that requires Reddit account is Dreddit.

I have been an active voice for inclusion for a long time in EVE and other MMOs. I am against shunning new people. I didn't like it when it was done to me, and I don't want it done to others.


Well then keep up with your tone in your community. Here, you're trolling. (or think you're trolling)

We include everyone in our trolling list.

HTFU and go back to Jita local if GD is too harsh and cold for you.

Did you just derail a thread that was about beginners vs bittervets but got derailed to carebears vs TEST before it got derailed to pirates vs carebears to goons vs. everybody else?

This thread is confusing the hell out of me...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

You? That'd be my guess.

Not because you podded them.

It's because I'm well aware of your posting history. You have got to be one of the most obnoxious and immature people I have ever encountered. You're probably a 95 pound ginger with zits, and you use these forums to verbally assault people in order to mask your inadequacies.


Pot meet kettle. You are one of the worst (Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith) I've ever had the displeasure to read on GD and you're calling him out?
Also, your insults and baseless assumptions about Solstice make you sound very mature and not elitist at all. Who is the internet tough guy again? Look at your own moaning, whining (Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith) history before you point fingers at others mmmkay?

Regards,


As per the forum rules, please do not try to bypass the profanity filter. -- ISD LackOfFaith

I play the only game all around the place for elitist and intelligent people.

You train off line, kill rabbits for IG money is worthless because you're so much smarter doing it with your credit card, and you need a not very fat nor very thin but very brainy finger to hit F1.

You'll never guess what game is Lol

I love how everyone wants to protect noobs in starter ships so that they'll never learn how the game works, lose a more expensive ship doing something they should have learned not to do in their first week or so, and then ragequit over it.

I am not trolling. That is why I am posting on my main character. It's because I quite frankly couldn't give a crap what people think about me speaking my mind. TEST, Goons Or anyone else. I am not anyone's flunkie. I believe what I believe. I have no reason troll in regards to new players. I take this very seriously. Again, because I truly love this game.

Can't believe i read the OP nonsense rant, but the truth shocker, the OP is from TEST... what the hell is happening over there, is TEST lowering their standards and doing some recycling in reddit? This guy should be in The Star Fraction Shocked

Take note newbies.

"Old", "hardened", and "veteran" players (who hide behind NPCs in highsec) want to see you be trolled, griefed, and ultimately quit the game. They want to see the large groups of new players in TEST and Goonswarm fight and dissolve so they can munch on them individually. They want to see nullsec nerfed drastically so that they can come and kill us at no risk to themselves.

But together in nullsec, we are strong because we can group up and fight the evildoers ourselves without having to worry about elite player only mechanics like "station games". And then they whine and moan about us making nullsec a "big blue donut" because there are no easy free kills for them anymore! And they cry about how nullsec is full of "botters" and "RMT". But deep down inside, we all know exactly what's going on.

She speaks truth....

If TEST and Goons are so hostile to new people, how come we have the largest pools of noobs out of any other alliance in game, apart from Ivy League of course?

How do you think we got so large? By scamming brand new players? By being snobby and telling new players to just figure it out and gtfo of our faces? No. TEST and Goons are the poster children for inclusion and patience. That's why people envy us. I speak as a new player myself, CCP owes HBC and CFC for my 3 accounts, I can tell you that with a straight face. I found some cool people to play with, patient and knowledgeable. THEY are the reason I stayed.

My unsolicited advice to tenderfoot pilots is to play the game and steer well clear of General Discussion. That should go a long way to enhancing the NPE.

It is hard to take you seriously though, Max. TEST isn't full-Dbag obviously, no Alliance is, but to hear you complain on how players shouldn't be dicks and then to look at who you associate yourself with... ahem. It's like listening to someone who works in a Casino telling people they shouldn't be gambling. So why are you still working in the Casino?

Another factor in EVE is the fact that the majority of player live in high sec (i've seen numbers touted from anyone from 70-80% of the player base) which means the vast majority of EVE does not want to participate in non-consensual pvp.

In EVE, you consent to PvP when you login.

Edit: And that is a good thing.

This is truly the real reason why highsec should be nerfed, highseccers just chase new players away with their misguided elitism. In highsec you're either in a pimped out marauder or T3, or you're in a hulk or mackinaw or you're worthless, whereas in nullsec t1 frigates and new players who are willing to take risks are actually useful and are rewarded by those who remember the difficulties they had as a new player.

When's the last time you sent someone who's been in the game for less than a month isk for helping you? Or are you too busy racking up the amount on your wallet screen to care?

This is the real reason why we hate you, because you're all sociopaths.


Despite what many people say and the hatred that has been fostered against the Goonswarm and Test, they have actually done quite more for the game than many others. They have managed to have new players stick with them because they are apparently fun to be with, help out newer players, encourage them to stay and let them share in the spoils, a radically different viewpoint than many other pilots and corporations in Eve see. That has allowed them to rally numbers effectively and efficiently, and then people complain and moan. It's amazing if truth be told.
