EVE General Discussion

While I agree with you Valei, if someone is taking a dump on my lawn day in and day out and I don't have sense enough to put the run to them, that makes me a bit of a tool. Griefers do alot of damage to this game and CCP look the other way all in the name of 'Sandbox'. This is thier game, not mine and if they want to let griefers wreck it, why the hell should I try and stop them using broken and inadequate mechanics?

So let me condense this. Somebody did not want to jump through the hoops you requested, and this means that

(a) some things are taken too seriously in-game
(b) EVE players are acting like pricks
(c) The 0.0 alliances are involved in RMT because of this
(d) We all have to be ashamed of themselves

I think you need a big dose of HTFU and perhaps medication to help you calm down.

Two things I've learned in life. 1.) Don't expect a crazy person to make sense. 2.) Don't argue with a fool. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

There's no way the player population of this game, the real world army of your choice, a governmental body (pick a country), or any gathering of the present occupants of earth can be above their established mental state...or balance...imbalance? The truth is, the frontal lobe activity of the present day earthling is negligible. That's where the consequence of action, or moral consequence of action is mediated. There's a new term for it now...since sociopathic psychiatrists are counted in this mix...but the old term is "sociopath."

We often mistake sociopathy as isolated to serial killers (an estimated 65 of these running around the U.S. at any given moment.) But, the truth is, there's two kinds of sociopaths. The bold ones are the serial killers. The chicken ones are too afraid of real world consequences (read: electric chair, hanging, lethal injection) to actually act out their disorder. So, you will find, in the safety of an environment like this, they feel free to express what they are naturally.

A feature of sociopaths is claiming "everybody else does it, so why not me?" You've seen that in one form or another in the responses to your post. What's unique about EVE interactively speaking is, the management actually approves of, supports and themselves participate in this behavior, naturally seeing nothing in the world wrong with it. In fact, the vast majority of EVE players use it as a means to release their sociopathy, and so will tell you it's "what the sandbox is all about," and "you have a problem if you can't deal with that, boo hoo you."

Naturally, it's lost on them the other potentials and options that unafflicted people would see as a matter of course, and would also attempt keeping in line with the nature of unsullied human intelligence. They see this sort of enterprise and activity as merely a victim setting him or herself up to be -ized by them, gleefullly.

In a very real sense, therefore, in EVE you are actually in a culture of sociopaths. In a very real sense in the real world you are also in a culture of sociopaths. So, if you see sociopathic behavior and don't recognize it as such, that's very likely a sign you are so afflicted, too. If you DO see such behavior and react as though this person should change for the sake of common sense, I refer you to "what I learned in life 1."

Have a nice day.

My god dude. Why are you still here if it's so bad?

EVE clearly isn't for you. Go have fun in another game.
And please stop crying!

We are bad people and should be a shame of ourselfs

2/10, your improving but not doing it right (yet)

You talk like this isn't a carebear game when in fact it's the most carebared up MMORPG in existence, the only difference is that it caters to gankers.

Like I said, I have no problem when it comes to spies and stuff, because that's what make this game exciting, but when you take it too far and start harassing noobs going "YOU SPY! ZOMG ALT. IT'S A SCAMMER" like a bunch of morons then it stops being a game and you're just taking it way too far.




I've repeatedly pointed out blatant errors in their swear filter and they haven't fixed it :p not my fault they can't be bothered.

If they're playing within the rules and not making it personal, then they're not griefing. Your example with the friendly fire map does not make them griefers necessarily, if the game is made with constant combat in mind.

I dont know why, perhaps lack of sleep, but all i could think of was "Its a cold, harsh universe"...yes until you pee in your wetsuit (read spacesuit) to warm yourself up when your SCUBA (spacewalking) diving....
