I'd say the figure of sociopaths in eve is much higher? Why you ask? Because we normal hard working people understand that THIS IS A GAME, where we can be anyone we like..had a bad day at work? I can come on here and join a fleet and go and fly my anger out on some other poor unsuspecting souls...others decide to scam because maybe in real life they are genuine nice guys who work hard and want to play a different role....most of us accept that the people we talk to on here in some aspect may not quite be who's they be in RL in fact we might not even like them but in EVE...I'd suggest you're taking this spaceship game way too seriously


I've worked with, and gotten to know a lot of people over the years. Thieves, murderers, pimps, drug dealers, wife beaters, child molesters . . . you get the idea.

After three years in Eve, though, I have to admit that I have never seen so many dedicated sociopaths in one place before.

hi,

I decided to just remove trust from the game entirely: dont let people into your corp, dont let people into your alliance - form a loose coalition using in game chat channels instead.

  • Would you be underhanded while playing sports?

  • Would you hack a different MMO?

Those are all game scenarios -- 'it's just a game' applies to them all.



1. I never have been, and never will be. It's a sport. Not even a game.
2. I don't do FPS because it all sux.
3. No.
4. Board games are very personal. you interact with the other players. If you don't like them, why play with them?

On the other hand, EVE is explicitly and openly advertised as a game where spying, treachery, piracy, theft and violent coercian are not just allowed but normal gameplay.


As stated above, a diligent search didn't show anything like that. Linky?

really? REALLY?

I guess it kinda depends how much fun you were having with other people although you post reads more like "I started a low tax corp so I could get tax of mission runners."

rather than, I started a corp to achieve something.


Achieve what in this cesspool? Run the galaxy? Move on to running the universe? I started a missioning corp because my miners are too expensive to use as pinatas.

I've been playing since 2006, but how long anyone has been playing EVE has no relevance on whether they actually know how to play, which is why I didn't bother asking how long you have been playing, or mention how long I had til now.

You might want to read the whole thread while not in possession of a giant case of mad.


If you think that a CNR, fitted with CN Cruise Launchers, and CN BCSes is a fail fit, then fly safe, good luck, and leave the thread.

I've been playing for more than 3 years. I have good, steady ISK coming in. I don't see 'fail' anywhere in that.

I'm pretty sure that you are the one who doesn't understand why this thread exists. Smile

Two days ago, I was looking through corp recruiting ads, and saw one that looked plausible. They invited me into voice chat, and I thought it was reasonable to join.

Today, my main corp, which I mentioned in voice chat, received a convo request from someone who turned out to be an extortionist.

Oddly enough, the people I had been voice chatting with said they received an extortion note from the same corp, same character today. Naturally, they thought it was because of me. After I gave the corp name, and character name, of the griefer, their suspicions were allayed.

Mine weren't.

If you can't trust anyone, why join a corp? 11% tax is a bad thing, but better than losing an expensive ship.

Yes. I can afford another one one, but why should I?

Trusting someone in EVE is like finding a stranger on the internet and letting them have access to all of your stuff.

Actually, it's exactly like that.

I don't think closing the corp is the way to go about this. You've mentioned that you've made a lot of money and have lost expensive ships before. I'm sure you could handle your most recent loss.

All you need to do is have a longer and stricter recruitment process. Do extensive background checks on every little detail of the corps they were in, and the character if possible (google is your best friend). Don't let them in on day one, anyone serious about really joining your corp will be willing to wait several days, even several weeks to join. Just make it so that getting in is hard but not impossible.

Heck, you can even create a smaller corp just to hold the recruits for a bigger corp, that way they can't do anything major against you.

Highsec corps make awoxing hilariously easy & fun. Over the weekend I joined 3 seperate highsec corps in the space of 2 hours & awoxed a whole bunch of mission runners.

The corp didn't close. It just . . . reformed. :)

Two things happen on the Internet (and by extension, Eve):

1. People do bad things to other people. The reasons behind the bad things don't matter. They just happen because , when you get right down to it, people are basically douches when no one else is watching.

2. People like to whine and cry about those bad things. Even people that have been using the internet for decades and should have known better.
