EVE General Discussion

I find that often times when new players look for corporations they get sucked into a high sec corporation run by carebears. I had multiple internet friends try Eve and go join their other internet friends doing missions, I try to convince them that they are not experiencing what the game really has to offer, they ignore me, and quit the game saying its ****.

Carebears are killing Eve by sucking up players and protecting them. "JOIN OUR CORP WE TEACH U TO PLAY" "OK GO COPY FITS OFF BATTLECLINIC AND NEVER EVER GO INTO THE PVP ZONE U DIE INSTANTLY." "HEY THIS WEEKEND WE GONNA RUN MINING OP IT FUN FOR 5 HOURS." "NEED ISK? ONLY WAY TO MAKE IS TO DO MORE MISSIONS, SALVAGE MY MISSIONS 4 ME K?"
"OH NO A WARDEC EVERYONE LOG OFF YOU WILL DIE."

It doesn't help that many of these corps lie about doing pvp, when in fact they are just a smaller chatroom and lower taxes than the npc corp.

discuss.

TL;DR
Carebears bore noobs and make them quit. Being risk averse isn't fun.
Some people like being carebears, whatever. Most people don't and that is why most noobs who enter Eve get bored by joining one of these corporations.

EDIT: Im not forcing my playstyle on anyway so save your tears, im just saying that new players aren't getting what they signed up for most the time when they leave the tutorial and find a highsec corp which leaves them with a bad taste in their mouth.

EDIT 2: Will you carebears stop rambling about how I want to force my playstyle on you and how im just a big meanie and actually understand the point im trying to make?

You bore new players and teach them to be highly risk averse, boring them.

-1/10

Even carebears don't use Battleclinic.

You are also contributing to the CAP proliferation problem in EVE.

These are the reasons they leave EvE and claim it sucks:

Antisocial. Labeling. Telling them THIS IS THE WAY TO PLAY OR IT"S THE HIGHWAY. GTFO scrub!!!

That behavior is really going win friends and influence them. -_-

If a player doesn't want to PvP for the moment, who are you to dictate how he's going to spend his money and time? CCP has missions, and if he wants to do them, it's in the game for players to play.

Most gamers start small to learn the game. They don't jump headfirst into the deep pool. EvE isn't a "nice" game, and unless they get acquainted to it, they'll leave in a heartbeat.

I don't believe carebears. it's just propaganda.

And you totally miss the point.
Read it again and maybe, just maybe, you'll understand what the OP actually said.

Nobody is dictating anything. There *are* plenty of highsec corps out there who
ruin the game for people without these new people actually knowing this.

Most new players want to pvp, and the experience after the tutorial does not enable that. They get sucked into carebear corps.

Many carebear corps feature a culture of ignorance and hatred towards pvp, please see the exambles in the first post to see.

In recruitment chat most of the corporations that are based in hisec and claim to pvp are lying. This leaves noobs with a ****** taste in their mouth and doesn't encourage them to keep playing.

Risk is the most interesting part of this game and many training corps try and eliminate it like an overprotective yet ignorant mother.

My friends quit after we joined a wormhole alliance. The isk running sites was good, but I think the PvP part of covert cloak fleet trying to engage covert cloak fleet got boring after 6 hours of nothing. After a few weeks of wormhole ops they stopped logging in and moved on to other games.

Those darn carebears at it again.

Fun?
