Are you for some reason under the impression that it's always the same players playing the game or posting on the forums? There's this thing called turnover. Though maybe you're right about the IQ thing in that the smart people are probably leaving Eve.

I am implying that as EVE's player base grows the overall IQ seems to be going down with more and more players.

The average IQ of the EVE player base has probably not changed significantly in a long time.

It's also fair to say that the average IQ of the player base is probably higher than that of the general population, so I'd guess... 105? 110? Somewhere around there.

Unless every single EvE player has a mandatory IQ test done under professional supervision, no one can give a definitive answer to the question the OP poses.

As such (and as this thread shows) only estimates, guesses, personal opinions, etcetera can be given. Asking this question also leads to accusations against other posters of being dumb, dumber than most or the dumbest EvE player ever or variations thereof.

Keeping this thread open will therefore lead to having to moderate it ad infinitum, thus leaving me only one option: Thread locked.
