EVE General Discussion

I think something went wrong in CCP marketing..
I'd suggest a big red flashy sticker on the box that reads: 'Content not suitable for bears' or harsher warnings.. like they have on cigarette boxes..


@OP.. all the best for your future, it will not be with Eve.

I am "care-bear" and its perfectly suitable for me ..
Thanks for your concerns.

Also negative advertising is still advertising. And as far as i can recall .. EVE specifically advertised scamming as an major feature along with "meta-gaming" of dissolving alliance and getting all their assets.

Are we talking about Mos Eisley on Tatooine? Have you ever played another MMO? Ever been corpse camped for an eternity?

By your own estimate you outnumber the lowsec/nullsec players 4 to 1. The odds are in your favor.

Not everyone lives in their parents basement. We have bills to pay.

Yeah this happened last year sparked from a certain internal memo. CCP is on probation.

Ten million trolls are in World of Warcraft honey. I don't think troll is a faction.
It is all a matter of how you chose to play and what you chose to do. If you chose to go to lowsec alone without an escape plan you chose to be a victim. It is called Low Security for a reason.
It could be fun to gather a group of disgruntled carebears and go out counter-gate camping. You can do it!

Folks, it was said back on page one.........Eve's not for you.

It's that simple.
I've been a newb mission runner being chased across what was safe high sec yesterday, before the war dec I had nothing to do with went hot. Some high pucker moments- but then that is sort of the point of a game I think.

Then I became a wannabe pirate, basic face melting goon. Whole new complaint dept- now there's no targets. Everyone is hiding in high sec, I see more capsules flittering about than combat vessels. It's sad. I know people that autopilot in low sec!

You get war dec'd for no reason. You get no fights for hours of getting TS just right, fitted all shiny, formed up and everyone moved out, search for a target that isn't blue or doesn't just dash--- then when you finally find someone looking to pull triggers- you get primaried and pop in less than 20 seconds.

THAT IS EVE.

It's all Eve. Mean spirited pirates, scammers, steep learning curve, ship unbalance/rebalance/out of balance every patch, blob this, nerf that, open freaking world, man!
But it's a space combat game at it's core. Until WiS makes us all into space Barbies forever- you still (mostly) have to undock to accomplish much in Eve.

There is no 'my sandbox to play in' there is only one big sandbox we all play space ship pilot in-
And my space ships all have guns on them..........

While I enjoy the sandbox gameplay the OP also has a point, it was great that the gameplay allowed you the freedom to be a sociopath, but you did not have to. The kind of people that joined EVE in the last few years are the same kind of guys that every MMO with a decent customer support would have kicked out soon enough.

A few years ago we read about huge scams, heists etc going on as events. Now we have rabble that is advertising their scam contracts in every trade hub and the space between, suicide ganks became fashion after some griefers with few PvP skills found out how to kill things that cannot shoot back without risking much.

In a way eve became a ghetto, it was always a PvP game and I would not want to have it otherwise but it has really gotten a bit out of control.

Yes and I consider most of the people posting here as worthless, ingame and out of game.

People like the OP come and go. They're not going to stick around for years like the "sociopaths".

Therefore best to just let them have their rant and then depart.

Nobody cares anyway

Yeah, but if you upgrade the trial with a 3 month sub you get 5 months of paid gametime

o/ OP , trader reporting in to say he sees no problem with eve as it is .


You want an mmorpg where you can be free of grief and death ... you choose the wrong one there mate so better not waste more time on this game and go try out other mmorpg's , i am sure some out there will suit your needs better.



And FFS what's wrong with just unsubbing instead of all these 'We need to stand up now because I have a problem with how this game is played'.Just frikking unsub allready on your own , or do you need to hold hands at every decision in life you make?

Just here to say that your whine made me sub 3 new accounts which i will be using for suicide ganking to enjoy all those tears live. Also wanna see if i can really support the ganking accs and my main just by suicide ganking as you suggested. thanks for the advice

While the OP is clearly somewhat deranged, his point is valid: If EVE is not the game for you, unsub and play something else. I wish more of his kind would take this simple solution, go back to WoW, Rift or whatever. That way the Devs can keep the Sandbox as cutthroat as it is, so those that joined EVE because they actually like the game as it is, can further enjoy it. And people like the OP can play whatever random game they want.

Everyone wins.


Btw, X3 is a good game for those who just want to singleplayer EVE without any meanies showing up to collect your shiny loot pinata.


EDIT: Oh, and people throwing out sentences like



and meaning it should consider visiting a doctor as something is clearly wrong with them, their perception of reality and their social aptitude. Seriously, chill.
