So I'm writing an article for a MMO web community about EVE.

Looking for suggestions for topics.

Best thing about Eve?
Worst thing about Eve?
How is CCP Games In general?

Please included a detailed explanation of your thoughts.

Thanks

If you can't make your mind on these subjects yourself, you're probably not qualified to write an article about EVE.

And no, I will not write your article for you - at least not without a significant cut of your paycheck.

Best thing about Eve?
The fights against the Jovian raid bosses that drop the best Sword ships

Worst thing about Eve?
When the GMs spawn goblins and ruin all the city building fun.

How is CCP Games In general?
EVE - Successful
DUST - Failure
WoD - Vaporware

So.. 33% great work in general

This isn't news. Anyone who plays online games knows this about EVE players.



Who the hell is allowing you to write for them?

See? Now you're getting some personal experience to write about.

One of my favorite EVE-related subjects has to do with psych. Can one engage in purely sociopathic/psychotic behavior IN-game, yet be a perfectly normal, socially beneficial person OUT of game? (Does behavior in a pixilated universe equate to behavior "in reality?")

The psychopaths insist they indeed CAN be wantonly destructive with no capability to create and build, yet live perfectly normal lives where their spouses still talk to them and their dogs don't cringe in a corner somewhere hoping to not be called.

The folks with certificates of mental cleanliness issued by a board of psychologists insist such cannot be the case, and as usual the psychopaths are being delusional, which is their wont.

Me? I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm a complete failure that's better than everybody else.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

My girlfriend tells me I have trust issues and suggests I see a shrink. So, I go. After several sessions, the shrink suggests I play EVE Online. So, I do. After three months I find I can't trust anybody! So, I go back to the shrink and tell him things have only gotten worse, now I don't even trust my own mother. "Why did you send me there?" I asked.

He replies, "I thought you'd enjoy a peer group."

We must evidently have the same therapist, lmao.

Why in God's name any medical professional would recommend this game, of all games is beyond me.

I wouldn't say hateful, rather, most have a vast contempt for weakness and would not be helpful to anyone unless it profits them/the group they belong to.

There are many exceptions though.

Except that, like much journalism, that conclusion would be wrong.

EvE players are just unforgiving of lazy people and what you did in your opening post was expose how lazy you are as a journalist.

So, when you have already done some work and need a few specific things answered, come back and you'll find a different response.

I also hope in your article that you'll make special note that you named your toon "Mah Boobz". I'm sure you'll have no problems linking that character name directly to your real name and publishing that fact.

I wasn't gonna say...per SE...but since you DID, hear hear. The title shoulda been "Write My Article For Me".
Mah Boobz...he'll go far.
