EVE General Discussion

They are either crotcheted, or knit. Embroidery is something different.



Who is more the "bad guy" or the "villain".
The person who hurts your feelings with a bad word?
Or the person who kills your character and takes everything?

Yes they are, which is why my Machariel has 7 Civilian Gatling Guns in the highs. Screw paying if for things I can get for free!

No one is talking about any of that. Anyone who can't stand bad words shouldn't be on the internet, that much is true.

You basically asked which is worse. Relatively speaking, yea it's the person spewing crap to you , not the person simply playing the game within the rules (ie killing you and taking your stuff).

The problem is that in the midst of spirited debate there are people that get too emotionally invested in being right. As though being wrong is somehow a catastrophic character flaw. It's not. It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to say, "I don't know." It's okay to say, "You know what, you're right. My mistake."

But again, too many people aren't capable of saying things like this. I am. I'm wrong all the time. There is a whole lot I don't know. If I form my opinion on biased or inaccurate information and someone points that out to me, I am adult enough to re-evaluate my opinion.

Not because I have any character flaws, we all do, but because I'm an adult.

Yes, both are equally true.

It's a good way to pass the time until Rockstar release GTA V for PC, also Dubstep Gun

That having been said, we always appreciate more, so I'm hoping everyone is taking advantage of the "open buddy" invite from Account Management. Fly safe, fly together, teach newbros old tricks.

CCP Propaganda best Propaganda , that said CCP are in the best position to talk about the numbers of new and returning players in Eve, they have all the data.

I am recalling articles I've read in the past, the one specifically talking about the noble exchange, and there was something about the riots, and perhaps these were old. But it was the sense I got from talking to some of my friends online and off about the game. I started Eve about 4 years ago, left for a bit, came back, the usual story. But talking with some friends it seemed their frustration is that they don't have the resources for losing a lot of ships, and when they try to combat a small griefer corp with much better fittings available and several war decs concurrently running on similar small corps, losses start a snowball effect of other similar griefer corps war deccing them, resulting in ever growing numbers of hostile ships so that they can no longer muster the ship replacements or people to counter the first war and the additional ones, and they don't have the experienced players to know how to handle things or use different tactics, or whatever. So eventually they just end up having to button up and wait out the time. And some end up figuring it's not worth the monthly charge for something they liked to play a few hours per week.

But the overwhelming response (aside from many who may agree with me but don't post due to the abuse) seems to have been- Learn how to play our way and only our way, do it quickly, know exactly which corp to join that will teach you our way to play, do it all as if you've been playing this game for several years within a couple months, or GTFO. Any suggestion that limits easy targets for more advanced players is met by much tearing of hair and condemnation, which I find odd because if something as simple as modifying high sec war dec rules is enough to totally change the way these people play, it appears that newbies are their only viable targets.

No, the response has been “learn”. Plain and simple. Learn, as opposed to just give up. Learn, as opposed to hide and do nothing. Learn, as opposed to assume that you will be spoon-fed all the answers. Learn, as opposed to complain about your own choices. Learn, because that's what everyone who is now successful has done — it's the reason they're now successful.

It has nothing to do with doing anything any particular way — that's just a common and incredibly lazy justification people trot out for not wanting to take the time to learn — but about figuring out how to do what you want to do in the environment that EVE offers.

Not really, no. It's suggestions that are short-sighted, ignorant of game mechanics, and ultimately harmful to genuine new players who get derided for being… ehm… less well-informed. Plenty of suggestions are made (often by the advanced players themselves) on how to limit the easy targets, but since they involve things like actively making yourself a hard target rather than offer blanket protection that non-newbies can hide under, they tend to be dismissed out of hand.

You're going to have to explain this in more detail because it makes absolutely no sense.
