EVE General Discussion

Okay first and foremost, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this kind of a post. There were two places I thought it would be appropriate to post, this being one of them.

So here's where I'm finding an issue and I hope that other capsuleers out there are seeing this as a major issue also. It seems there is a new meta game in the pvp world of EVE. I happen to be one of those pirate scum that goes around killing pretty much anything that moves unless it's blue of course :3. I dont like to say this either that much but most of the people who live in Low Sec any more unless they are actual pirates are pretty much carebears (sorry derogatory word plz dont report me). FW and the amount of these carebears moving into low sec will start crying and carrying on in local about how you just ripped a ship out of their little fingers which usually results in a few cuss words and posting links in local. I'm sure the same stuff goes on out in Null after a huge battle goes on of some sort of propoganda and cussing carrying on etc tis a game it's to be expected. But lets face it, we are all adults here and know that cussing is going to happen.

When people get reported for using language that apparently their minds can't seem to stand which, is respectable IMO. The problem exists in the fact that these same people that report others for cussing or using links that are "offensive" which again some are, the people they report are banned instantly. The kicker here is the fact that these same people that report you for cussing in local or posting offensive pictures do it themselves. Here's where I'm thinking it's becoming a new meta. If a group of people are killing you on a constant basis and you can't seem to muster up a force to attack back and beat a group back why not report them when they post in local after you carried on whining about how you just got destroyed. Now that person is banned instantly and waiting on the verdict of how long they'll be banned for. This is complete and utter crap.

I've put petitions in about this whole thing and despite mentioning that the avg. player base is well over 20 and that bad language in today's world is something they should be accustomed to, I get the same answer. The game is rated T. Now last I checked ESRB which is used all over the world, including PEGI (Euro version) Online play cannot be rated. Not to mention there is a section in the EULA that states if a person is under a certain age they have to get parent consent in order to create an account etc.

So here's the solution. Or what I think a solution to this problem is. Most MMOs out there have a language filter. Maybe CCP should finally invest in putting this into the game that can be turned on and off depending on the players preference. The game is now 10 years old. And solution for the links... again this is an online game... you know people are gonna post some nasty things including pornography. Put a disclaimer in or put something in the EULA that states clicking on links at your own risk.

I think the EULA exploit is the fact that people who cuss themselves or post dirty links themselves report people who kill them on a regular basis just so they get banned. This is an instant process where people get banned until further investigation. I hope that this can get enough support from the community and that the Devs might reconsider fixing this issue. I know I'm getting quite upset as a paying customer that I can't have fun posting links in local because someone might be offended by a little skin showing or a troll picture. Heck most of the time I post stuff like that people are all hostile after being killed... And then once that adrenaline wares off you're laughing in local about how you messed up most of the time.

Anyways done typing this wall of text.

Please keep the responses clean in this post as it's rather important imo.

PS. Sorry for spelling errors, grammar errors etc.

Read further down. I have put in support tickets etc. I still think it's time to try getting support from the community is all.

Even if you have placed a support ticket, this is *still* the wrong place to bring it up.

The correct place to bring such subjects up in the EVE-O fora is... Never.

Simple solution:

Don't do anything that breaks the EULA. Just because someone else does it, doesn't mean it's allowed.

Maybe report them yourself. Or are you going with the "I'm not a snitch" line.

Very true. But that's where it also makes no sense... You can rob the **** out of alliances for billions of isk which is awesome I wont complain about that because like you said... it's a sandbox MMO it makes the game. So banning someone for cussing when people can lose billions within seconds isn't bannable despite hostile actions as infiltration/spying etc. Idk... It just seems funny to me.

It's pretty easy, one is against the rules, one is not against the rules. You get banned for the stuff that is against the rules, and you become a hero to some for those things which aren't against the rules.

As has been said, don't break the rules, and you don't have to worry about what other people are doing. CCP doesn't generally ban you if you haven't broken the rules, so don't follow the herd posting crap in local, and you're fine.

Blow them up, tackle their pod, enjoy their crying, don't respond and just teleport them to their chosen station.

Thanks for the insults? Say that to pretty much any pirate including those in PL and Hydra... they cuss up a storm in local. But hey... it's easy talking big up in High Sec :)

"Hax"?

Posting in a thread about spies reporting people for stuff in fleet chat. Best spies ever.
