EVE General Discussion

I'm done with this game. I've already transferred several billions in assets to another member of BNI who was just about the only tolerable person I've met on this game so we can skip the "can I has your stuffs" replies.

People love to announce they're leaving Eve, and I'm happy to join the club. The skill training queue in this game is about the most foolish implantation I've seen in an MMO. To achieve reasonable revenge against those who repeatedly gank you, you just have to hold off for a year until you have the skills to fly a ship of moderate caliber against those who go after you. I finally realized that waiting a year was not worth it. I don't mind PvP games, I've enjoyed them when they're about skill or done in a balanced environment. Eve provides the opposite of a balanced environment and one gets sick of never being able to punish people who agress you for no reason. I also don't really consider ganking my industrial as I put through low-sec or what not as "PvP" so much as "Pv." I figured no big deal, I would train blockade runner. Then I realized I had to spend a month training that and that's a month I can't dedicate to combat skills or anything else. That's right, I have to give CCP $20 and wait a whole month just to make my character capable of running away.

It's a very creative business model, honestly. You prey simply on the hope that things will get better and one day, two years later, for doing nothing at all but paying CCP $15-$20 a month, you too can be effective in PvP which most companies work to ensure is plausible for players in the first place.

Oh well, I don't really have anything constructive to say. I was playing X3 Albion and I realized I was having fun playing a game... And then I remembered that I used to think playing MMO's was also fun, until I started playing Eve, and then I was just playing because I wanted to make the jerks who make the game so frustrating to play pay. However, after careful consideration, I realized that, not only is it really not worth waiting around for a year for, it's also a huge waste of real life money that I could be spending on MMO's that don't suck by being unwilling to reward active playing of the game.

At least I can take solace in the fact that CCP called you all evil when they named the Eve Gate after, well, Eve. I tend to agree with them - I've never played a game that really brought out the worst in people in a video gaming environment.

HTFU

Also, eve isn't for everyone.
Maybe we enjoy being evil?

Yes, that is very apparent. And somewhere in the background the giant empires of game companies like Blizzard stand back and laugh at CCP like a Goonswarm Titan Pilot laughs at the battle venture trying to gank it. I bet even Turbine makes more money.

OHH

I get it now

OP clearly didn't learn that bigger isn't better....

Actually 100% illiterate, in fact I have no idea what I am typing right now. It is quite the statistical oddity that my random button mashing can in fact lead to some coherent ajkehancakeafjdkfnwe adjfwoancn;e. aoefhandceia. foehcafel,asdmf.

Meh... I don't like how you people design characters. They all look like nazi supersoldier Silvester Stallone wannabes.

I was wrong, this is a troll thread.

I want to look like Sly.

There's little left to do but troll now. Honestly, I played the game for five months and met one person who was moderately friendly. 99% of people don't even respond if you try to message them or talk to them in local. This game sucks and its subscription numbers prove it.

Bye-bye.

PS: can i have your stuff?
