EVE New Citizens Q&A

Dont take my words out of context them twist them and use it as if i said it. But if you want to go there...

Young people- Most young people are immature because that is the nature of being young. I do not wish to play an MMO with a bunch of immature young people. It is one of the reasons i have played eve for a decade. I dont socialize with kids outside of the game, why would i want to in a game, when i specifically go for games that have few to no kids in them.

I took my wife to a winery yesterday. We sat down for lunch. They had a baby shower in the private party room( stupid place to have a baby shower). Brought their kids with them. Kids ran rampant around the winery while the inattentive mothers were busy playing baby shower games and getting wasted on wine.

I dont go to a winery to eat lunch so i can have kids running around the dining room/tasting area. If i wanted that experience i would go to chuck E cheese. I expect the same service from CCP and Eve that i expect at a winery and for 10 years i have gotten that service. Now CCP wants to turn my winery into a chuck-e-cheese.

New players- Have nothing against them. I have no strong feelings on new players one way or another and often help them and answer questions.

Poor people- F2p arent necessarily poor. Many people are under the belief that they are ENTITLED to play a game for free. Its not so much as they cannot afford the game as they dont think they should have to pay for it. These are always the ones that complain about having to pay a sub fee. " Its stupid to have to pay a sub to use something" Tell that to your mobile phone company, your cable company, your ISP, or your electric company and see how far that gets you.

They are also the ones that complain the most about everything, they act the worst in game, and tend to be generally trashy with bad attitudes. But what do i know, ive only been playing MMOs since Bill Clinton was president.

However poor people shouldnt be playing eve...or video games in general. Eve is cheap. $15 a month. That is two meals at a fast food restaurant. A medium/large pizza. Not even one meal for 1 person at a decent restaurant. Not even half a tank of petrol/gas in your car. Hell in england you cant even get a quarter tank of petrol for the sub price of Eve.

If you cant afford $15 a month for eve, then you have severe financial problems you should be focusing on, not playing eve. Like your at the point of " do i pay my water bill this month or buy ramen noodles? " Even if you are poor, Eve will be at most 3-4 hours of wages. And if its any more than that then you probably live in a country in which only rich people own computers with regular internet service and you are rich so it shouldnt be an issue anyway.

True. Most F2P games I've tried all have horrible communities. There are nice people everywhere, but on the forums you have to wade through a couple pages of insults to find them, and nothing seems to spawn more hate that to actually like a game feature.
