EVE General Discussion

What.

The maturity to make sound choices is what what separates the men from the rabble (to use the OP terminology, though it's a bit silly to begin with), not headless chickens too scared to make a decision that is right for them.

If someone isn't enjoying the game, they don't need to look after my interests and keep subbing just because of a notion of loyalty.

I'll have some of whatever OP's smoking.

This thread is also going places.

I'm already taking EvE Online: An Internet Spaceship Game as seriously as it deserves.

On the contrary, I think its quite important to have frequent discussions about which type of people we should allow to exist within the EVE Community.

Some set the bar at ISK doubling and sing-a-longs in Teamspeak.
Others set it at those who tend towards racist ideologies.
Still others feel that those who whistleblow corruption within CCP should be expunged.

I set it here.

Sometimes you just have to plant your flag show people where you stand.

Perhaps to build a better community we need to enforce at least some kind of minimum standard on that small percent that choose to participate through other channels such as the forums.

Actually logging into the game and setting up an avatar is probably a good, very very very bare minimum barrier of entry.

Also, is it just me or are the forums even sillier than usual?

Neither should you.

I have no idea why they still allow any of your accounts to post on the forum. I would've banned you and your sockpuppets from ever posting here 12 hours ago.

Oh well, it's not up to me. *shrug*

"sillier" really isn't the word that describes what's going on.


To build a better community,
we have to get rid of the old one first.

Because the old one isn't actually one anyway.

Tastes well actually.

Personal opinion here. No offence intended.

a) You can never know the reasons for someone to stop playing for a while. And they have no obligation to give you a reason.
b) If a GAME (cause that's what eve is after all ) no longer feels entertaining, or constructing it's ok to take a break. The way you say things here, we should never have quit games we played 15 years ago, to prevent ppl in those communities get depressed?
c) Again no offence intended. You say the game changed your life. Good for you. But still i prefer to find ppl with values etc in my RL and not allow a game to have any influence in my rl, except maybe spend a couple of hours a day for it. If it happens to meet these kind of ppl in game, well that is a good thing. But after all its internet. Be prepared to meet ANYTHING and any kind of ppl.
d) Jump ship? OK, since eve community is a real dynamic community , this means it's changing again and again over time. Just like real life. So just like you choose friends in your life and cut off with others, you can do the same here.
e) Final point. some ppl invest too much in eve. Some less. You, or anyone, cannot dictate them. Live with that.
