Let's be honest here. Given the context, is the term "user" as applied to Eve players, closer in meaning to "customer" or to "crack-head"?



Man! I'd smoke EVE, if I could. Lol

Roll I understand the feelings of my fellow posters, but I prefer to call myself a citizen player.

As a long term sifi hobbyist being able to play a game with many other fans has been a real treat. Thank you every one for playing the game. Big smile

In the world of software development and IT, the people using the stuff are loosely referred to as "end users". It's strictly a technical term not mean to be demeaning.


Now when dealing with marketers, salesmen, lawyers, accountants, and other assorted yuppies, the terminology gets a bit... colorful.

And they deserve it.

Perhaps that is the problem with CCP.

Just saw that in this thread post https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=67815#post67815

How about start treating us as CUSTOMERS.



Screw that, who wants to be treated like a customer? Only peasants, that's who.

I demand CCP treat us all like mighty immortal space demigods, and worship every post we make, and also give us lots of stuff and tell us how much they love us. Right now Sad
