A Non-Fanboi Look at EvE

Quote:

Nisktonhen is a perfect example of what the OP says when he means elitist players in EvE, and just about every comment he makes just make the rest of EvE players look bad. People like this guy make EvE ******.

“EVE on the other hand is a sandbox, you can do anything you want at any time anywhere.”
- Whenever someone says you can do “anything you want at any time anywhere” in a video game, you know they’re so full of **** it’s coming out of their mouth.

“EVE is the big boys’ playground; it resembles the real world.” / “EVE is alive and despite its SciFi image resembles real life quite well.”
- This is another common “EvE elitist” quote on why EvE is so great. EvE doesn’t resemble real life, it’s just complicated like real life is. If griefers and flat-out murderers (you can kill a person’s pod in EvE, effectively killing their character) were given the same punishments as griefers and murderers in the real world, EvE would actually be a much better place and weed out all of the assholes like this guy. How about we ban characters’ accounts for life for murdering another character? Or would that then be too real world for you? Simply put, EvE is great for griefers and scammers because they’re unregulated, EXACTLY UNLIKE the real world.

“EVE is a game where one player can make all the difference IF they work hard”
- I’d like to see one example of one player, all by them self, “making all the difference” in EvE. EvE is 100% a team game. I don’t think people are aware of just how important it is to join a corp and make friends.

“one player that works hard can supply a region with items that would otherwise not be available”
- Not really. Again, it’s very, very rare for one player by them self to be able to do anything significant in EvE.

TL;DR

If you’re the kind of person that can’t take the time to read this post, EvE is probably not for you.


lololol

True!



In "real life", murderers and scammers aren't magically transported to prison for life by magical invisible omnipotent justice pixies. Actual real people have to do actual real work, and quite often they don't succeed and quite often they get the wrong guy and quite often they're just paid off to look the other way and sometimes the scammers and murderers get Nobel Peace Prizes and massive government bailouts.

There has been some constructive suggestions so far.
