EVE General Discussion

Do tell.

What have you participated in with any risk of losing? Awoxing? Miner bumping?

You're not exactly an authority on any part of this game except taking advantage of unarmed opponents. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Just stop acting like you are something you're not.

Be proud of who you are, Kaarous. There's no shame in being afraid to engage someone that might shoot back. Own your fear.

Mr Epeen

Says the forum alt.

I'd love a cup of tea, please.

It appears to back it up to some people, but they're just misreading the data to suit their own views. I love statistics

Often I'd agree with that sentiment.

At other times, I think this forum is as much a part of the rich experience of Eve as the game itself is.

I know personally I'm as connected to what happens here as I am to shooting someone in the face in game, so firing volleys from one trench at another entrenched player with neither giving ground in a debate/argument can still be enjoyable. Futile at times, but enjoyable.

I also think 'flavour of the month' is a thing CCP listens to and makes changes to the game based on community outcry. So in the absence of everyone agreeing on something, both sides are just as important to express just to ensure petty things don't become the target of the latest FOTM.

Facts certainly help though. Just some people refuse to believe them.

No, I don't mind engaging the worthless anklebiter this once, even if he is making a false claim for credentials fallacy.

Since I began playing EVE, I have engaged in fleet combat in nullsec as a line member. Quit that, then ended up rolling this guy as an alt, since my main was somewhat untenable thanks to a particularly bad doxx. This guy has been in faction warfare for a while, got out of that after winning the warzone with Fweddit. Then, in between helping out with missions, ran a bunch of fleet ops (logi, most often, since this guy is a Guardian pilot) with my old alliance, the ROC, in both low and null, as well as with their wormhole corp for a while. Quit that because poses made me want to pull out my fillings.

In between, on alt accounts, I have been a fairly prolific awoxer and ganker, dabbling presently in highsec wars with this excellent and real life friendly corp in CODE. I also dabble in margin trade scams and some pretty awful marketing, since I speculate pretty damn badly.

So I've done a large proportion of what EVE Online has to offer.

I saw you too, but I do the shooting not the looting.

Where did I say griefing in my post?

As for the other question: EVE is marketed as a PvP game, people come in expecting to experience some. Ergo, concordedly, vis-a-vis it would be expected that they stay if they do. I don't know why people are chestbeating about it so much.

It's like reading about all the horrible scams that can occur in the game and how you can't trust anyone. Then you start to play and people warn you about the Goons because... they'll scam you. Well, duh?

You get that also?! The way the CODE fanatics press The Order on people has me refering to them to other people as, "Space Jehovahs" or "SJ"s now. Obvious flaw here. Ask 100 random carebears what determines new player and you will have 50 different answers.

For the purpose of his presentation his definition is the only one that counts, our definitions are irrelevant.

That said I'd be interested in seeing the results of any future studies done with extended timescales.
