for years ive been trying to teach a guy that refuses to use even 1 brain cell

every day its repeating the very basics

ran missions with him, gave him setups for lvl 4 missions and he cant even kill the last couple of frigates in a lvl 3

refuses to watch the drones take damage and complains about why his drones re destroyed

unable to grasp the extreme basics of not even capable of warping to fleet

sadly on the eve climb while im sitting at the tope with the rope and him on the bottom, as of last night that rope was cut for him to walk away as he just sit there looking up the cliffs

For those out of the loop, OP is super salty cause the CEO he's complaining about kicked him

It seems like we're now we're doing the "He didn't dump me, I dumped him (sniffs)" thing. I think we're all supposed to say "mmmhmm, you go girl, plenty more whales in space, blah blah blah"

There once was a ganker named tisi

A stunningly beautiful missy

To gank a gross miner

There is nothing finer, cept when they get all pissy

Maybe your help, however well intentioned, is not what he needs. Some people are only capable of learning their own way.

It is possible your explanations suck.

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

Thanks for giving it your best shot.

Some people can't be helped.

Try not to let yourself feel bad, some things are simply not meant to be.

Pull the string! Pull the string! A mistake was made. A story must be told.

yeah agreed, not something I wanted to do to a guy I served in the military with but things can only be done so far

Ive tried letting him do things his own way such as when he was in his corp and I told him to watch local he lost a harb and a raven in about 3 hours to a wartarget doing shopping runs to tweak his ship.

when it comes to explaining I explain things in great detail with sites and videos if they need and it still didn't sink in

ive know the guy for a few years even before he started playing and I warned him then of this games learning curve when he was working on computers in the army and I was doing my myriad of jobs



and im stealing that video now

and griffin its not a matter of getting kicked from mumble for helping their players, its the blantant disrespect from teaching members a better way to do things, to keep their ships in pve, ceo refuses to go after wartargets at members want

there is still a great many people in that believe that freighter ganking doesn't happen because it cost to much, what I need is some filming software to make some videos

Sounds like something he'd say.
