This thread is a perfect example of why people are leaving/taking a break from eve. While I dont personally sympathise with OP in his ways of thinking or his opinionated views on eve. It's how you, out of game, treat this individual, that just makes people sick to the bone. You basically made trolling and mischeif an art. Nowadays GD looks like a playground for the 20 same indivuals, all harrasing away at anyone voicing an opinion. And you all know it all to well too. Personally, I wont be suprised that newcommers and others that join/come back to the game. Take one read on this forums, and decides that this is just not worth paying money for. Maybe if eve was ftp, the Level of childish melavolence would be understandable, or even expected. Some People just stop Reading the forum, due to how people act out of game. And they just silently decide that this is become to much of a "greifers paradise" to suit even the hardcore of the greifers. The ones that actualy differenciate between game and irl. At some point, we will se you guys leaving a sinking ship, like rats fleeing from water. To bad for CCP that, when that day comes, the game will have sufferd too much. Say what you like, its not like a whole lot of people care or are reading this parts of the forums anymore.

Front page, some of the regulars helping with buying a laptop.
Front page, regulars supporting someone with an impairment and requesting CCP help them.
Page 2, regulars sympathising with someone who has hearing impairment.

I see no need to go on, you can look through threads just as easily.

When people ask for help, politely they are helped. The OP was given solid advice and seems to have not acted upon it then behaved like a drama queen.
Your sanctimonious speech is a waste of time to read as it has very little to stand upon.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

This thread might deliver, but it does seem to have a distinct lack of classic Veers shiptoasting... a growing trend which has begun to worry me. I'm not sure what I'll do with myself if Veers has quit shiptoasting.

No, I am sorry. Delivery is cancelled. You will have to come collect. It will be cold and congealed by the time you get here.

If being bountied is what you consider "griefing", your problem may be that you are too easily griefed.

Look at Elite: Dangerous. Only the most thoroughbred carebear finds that game entertaining for any length of time. Sure it is pretty, but without consequences there is little meaning to the actual gameplay and no matter what they add, the ability to opt-out of player conflict means it never will have meaning. It will always be a glorified spaceflight simulator, never a vibrant living universe like New Eden has become.


I found out myself that same goes in ED as in EvE, you make it fun for YOURSELF (in case of ED, just make a decision to stay always in Open, and decide not to bother about carebears in Solo mode).

Or then fail in it.

TIL griefing can be as simple as voicing skepticism over a forum poster's self-serving narrative.

I continue to be amazed by what some people consider griefing. Though I shouldn't be... someone mentioned Second Life earlier. Roll

It's fairly simple isn't it? If you intend to cause someone grief then that's griefing, regardless of method. And let's face it, the majority of posters on this forum post primarily with that intention.

You know what guys and girls?
If that game is so mean and bad and wounded your sensible souls so fracking much, then just cancel your subscription and leave the game.
But please, for the love of God, spare us your whining in threads like this one!
Stop being pathetic self entitled brats who are whining, moaning and bitching, like a five year old who doesn't want to eat his spinach!

I started off cleaning this thread, but soon realized it'd be better locked.

Quote:
2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

8. Use of profanity is prohibited.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the EVE Online forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.

13. Spamming is prohibited.

Spam is defined as the repetitive posting of the same topic or nonsensical post that has no substance and is often designed to annoy other forum users. This can include the words “first”, “go back to insert other game name” and other such posts that contribute no value to forum discussion. Spamming also includes the posting of ASCII art within a forum post, or the practice of “thread necromancy” which involved bumping of old threads for no justifiable reason.

17. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.

23. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster

Thread locked.
