EVE General Discussion

Id like to point out my thread to you:

With the ToS as such I'm pretty sure you have good grounds to get the individual warned if not banned.

Sociopathy is one of those words the uninformed like to toss around to sound smart, Tippia dear. It doesn't actually exist.

The closest thing would be Antisocial Personality Disorder, and a key part of that is "...failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors". Since ganking, awoxing, corptheft, missionbaiting, and all such activities are perfectly lawful according to CCP, you can't really assign an ASPD label to people performing them.


There's also the amazing lol that is diagnosing a RL mental disorder from behaviour in a video game. Using that logic, anyone who has killed others in multiplayer TF2 is a spree killer, Payday2 players are amazing robbers, and Call of Duty folks are all Special Forces Seal Team 6 Green Beret Rangers.

Yea it does, see you just typed it! Just like Brujlesprat, a word i just made up since other people can too . now i'm leaving, goin to the strip club to tell the grils to shake their Brujlesprats for me (lol).



We know the truth. Some people just need to believe that they are "normal" and it's the rest of the world that's screwed up, despite mountains worth of evidence that they are indeed screwed up. That's why everyone is a 'sociopath' or 'troll' or whatever to them, any defense mechanisim they can use to avoid looking in a mirror is a good thing as far as they are concerned.

Indeed, sir. Indeed.

Lmao.

Yeah, like how calling people out on "sperging" has become a thing even though it often has nothing to do with actual AS.

You can call it what you want. Honestly, with how easy it is to awox, it's not hard to make a clean account that passes all scrutiny. But thats pretty much beside the point. There's still no benefit to joining a player run corp. If your CEO lets in an awoxer and he ganks you, it's a bit late to react.

It doesn't have to. But all the time it doesn't NPC corps will be the favoured place for high sec players. A simple on/off switch for aggression in a corp would allow a CEO to control if his corp needs to be able to attack each other. Sure, a few awoxers would be sad about it, but in the long run it would promote player run corps over NPC corps. NPC corps should have a 10% tax on all refining too, bringing it in line with bounties.

There is literally no way to make recruitment tough enough to eliminate this issue to the point that NPC corps and one man corps are not still a better choice

Uh, you couldn't have missed the mark more than this. I don't really play much in high sec, just a couple of alts and they never get ganked, bumped or anything. And I don't despise anything about the mechanics. I'm simply stating why it is that NPC corps are so favoured. Honestly, I'm perfectly happy with it remaining the way it is, as it doesn't affect me in the slightest. But it is a shame that newer players are effectively encouraged to avoid playing with others.

Not at all, perfectly reasonable posts. And I do love eve, I'd just like more people to love it too. They need to make the gap between a day one player and a player interacting with others much much smaller. Once you start interacting with others and making friends, it makes it much more fun and harder to simply stop subbing.

I'm curious about the "mental gymnastics" that led you to whatever definition you happen to be using for that word.

Entitlement.

They have this notion that everyone should cater to them. If their demands are not met it is called bad game design or sociopath behavior.

It is also asinine.

I seems my angst towards you was misplaced. I am very sorry and ashamed for having berated you a bit there and beg your forgiveness.
