No , no problem at all with you playing it the way you want despite us.
The problem is when ye come on the forums and demand we no longer be allowed hunt, impeed, outwhit and generally have fun and make isk at your expenses despite those being core gameplay elements this game has been Infamous for for over a decade.

I'm surprised it's that high on the list.

Let me translate: I was bullied when I was a new player and had no recourse so now it is your turn.

More like the game is what it is, deal with it.

Ralph is right, being able to choose to hunt and otherwise mess with other players, or not, is part of what makes Eve what it is. It's always been a part of the game and always should be. Without those elements, Eve would be just another MMO, with mediocre PvE and a reputation for being Spreadsheets in Space.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It disgusts me that so many people still play WoW. Such a pathetic game now. And after playing Eve for over a year, it sorta always was.


And still EvE Community is worse. When i look at the forums here and those wanna be einstein and psycho comments i just cannot stand to keep on reading this ****. Also, never seen more bullshit than ingame eve bio's. I've been Ultima Veteran and hated the WoW Community once all those kiddos came from CS. But EvE community really disappointed and me and pisses me off everytime.

just my 2 cents


I'm not talking community wise. I'm talking content wise.

Blizzard made everything so easy to get it's friggin' ridiculous. I didn't clear a single raid when it was current through out the entire duration of MoP yet was still in the top 100 players in the server by gear near the release of Siege of Org (when I quit). I was apart of so many raid groups who were so clueless and put no effort into learning the game it drove me insane, not because they didn't learn, but becase it's so easy to play WoW and win, you have addons that time boss moves and help you play your role too, so much babying yet people still failed at the game. The gear is handed out on silver platters from valor quartermasters and people still say they're "pro" for doing so. It's so infuriating.

Eve however is so much better as a game it requires thought, skill, patience and you have to be social (which I personally like) to succeed. After things in WoW like dungeon and raid finder as well as raid level gear being given out at dungeon level was implemented ( they sorta rectified the gear issue after Cata, but still you can run dungeons and get raid gear), the game became less social. I'd run dungeons and no one would say a thing until the end which was "Thanks" and leave, sometimes not even that. And the abuse you'd get from some people for making a single mistake was nuts.

I remember having to PUG all my dungeons in WOTLK and I had to talk to people and it was a lot of fun as well as run the 25 man raids (PUGs) to keep up with raid gear advancement.

But alas those days are gone, and looking at the WoD beta reviews, I won't been returning any time soon.

I discourage running with scissors.

You have to scroll 75% down this page to find Chess. Chess is dying. Losing subs to poker.

Then again, chess is a pretty bad game and in dire need of some patching, so that's only to be expected.


Nerf queen too OP Kites my king every fight. My bishop can also kite but it has **** bad tracking while the rook can also kite but has bad agility and cap.


that's because your first move wasn't e4
