There's always plenty to learn about Eve while the game is down.

I find myself compelled to speak of the dangers of highsec. To let players know that a CEO makes a great income off of your efforts. If you pay taxes to a PC corp and are not making 30 million ISK per hour of farming, and having the option of joining several fleets either for mining or for PVP then you are being farmed.

I have been blown away at the difference in game experience since I joined CVA. Always plenty going on, lots of support and great people. This is the way MMO's should be.

There are other great alliances, apply to any of them! But if you find yourself wondering what is so great about Eve and you are stuck in a do nothing, talk a lot, highsec tax scam, corp; please apply or at least look into a well established nullsec alliance.

here is our blog ----> http://providenceregion.blogspot.com/

Reading crappy downtime threads on the forums, and mocking them ruthlessly.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

If it's weekdays I'm at work during daily DT. At weekends I usually have lots of other activities to attend to and won't miss the game or even any games in general.
For any other downtimes it's the forum, other games or just reading a book for a change. No wait, currently it'd be "Templar One", so not much of a change after all.

About the corp taxes issue: For myself it's among the questions I ask when I'm looking for a corp to join what they do with the money. If I can't see a concept that makes sense for me I continue to ask uncomfortable questions possibly up to the point either me or they quit thinking we can ever work together. You get the idea.

Also is that a stealth CVA recruitment post or does it just look like it?

Not feeling compulsions or necessity to advertise my alliance, for one.

Granted, the X360 controller really isn't designed for fighting games...

I advocate for CVA because in 3 years it is one of the only alliance's I have found that does this. They play the game as it was designed, and enjoy it as the progenitors perhaps dreamed that it would be played.

You are going to get trolled hard for this.

It was designed and is advertised as being a sandbox. Isn't the definition of the sandbox that there is no predesigned way to play it?

I do see what your intentions with this thread are and believe they are good, but things are just not that simple in the end.

)) Eve was designed by gamers. They liked P&P games and card games like MTG, and they used those models to create Eve. Even a sandbox has boundaries and limits, Eve certainly does.

The creators had a vision, an idea about how people would spend their time here. It has certainly exceeded that horizon, gone beyond what anyone could have seen. That is actually good reason to be aware of the beginning, to wonder about it and to acknowledge and respect the fact that they saw it first. ((

You must have had some really crappy CEO's in your past, the few I've spoken to are generally skint, they spend lots of time sorting corp affairs out, politics, drama etc, and not a lot of time earning money.

Just how is the game designed to be played, pray tell do enlighten us, since you can do pretty much whatever you want in eve, is one course of game play the correct one, and the others incorrect?

And why are these problems exclusive to high-sec? surely a CEO of a successful nullsec corp can gain far more isk since generally there is a higher cash flow through a nullsec corp's wallet, ratting gives higher bounties hence more corp tax, and the bigger the corp the more the need for 'slush funds' hidden from plain sight but understood to be needed by the people who may question it, afterall should the worst happen and they become a victim of a corp heist then they need to be able to put more isk into the corps wallet pretty quickly to pay for bills, fund logistics etc.

Well Emma, I disagree with the way that you play the game and would like to present an alternative to other players who think that you and the people like you are....
