Hello all,

I've setup a post in "My EvE" for my new blog I'm writing covering my experiances with returning to eve, I'm relinking that post here because I belive the blog will highlight the possiblities of a low skillpointed player as well as alittle insight from a returning player and what they have done to speed themselves back through eve, should be worth reading for all rookie pilots, hope it helps someone somehow and please feel free to contact me with any questions or comment on the blog/forums.

Crosspost and shameless bumping. Not impressed.

Blogs also have a comment section, I don't see why two threads are necessary on the Eve forums to respond to a blog with a single post. Oh well.

Because I at first posted in the "My EvE" Section, then realized alot of the things I was covering in the blog would be beneficial to new players, the bump was to get it off the 6th page as I posted it late last night.

Nice to see constructive critisism... oh wait no your just trolling.

Reasonable to post a link to the blog here for newbies, I suppose, but posting a link to a thread that has a link to the blog is incredibly annoying. The bump was unnecessary. There are threads that haven't been replied to in a two days on the first page of New Citizens, and as old as three days in My Eve.

There's a difference between trolling and negative feedback. For instance, if I wanted to troll you, I would have likely said "LOL INCURSN NOOB L2P U GONA CRY WHEN IT GET NERFD??1!?" or something to that effect. In light of that, let me rephrase what I was trying to get at with my first post:

It's nice you started a blog and all, but shameless attention hoarding (crossposting threads, "read me!", unnecessary bumping) draws attention in the form of ire.

Hope you have fun with your incursion experience!

I am having fun with my incusions thankyou, I want to draw attention to the fact that you can earn the likes of 2 billion isk to new players in a matter of days compaired to grinding up standings and running missions for much less.

My efforts to draw attention are not towards me but towards the potentials out there as 99% of the feedback I've had from new players is "what all I do i missions?" and "I cant wait a year in a game before it becomes playable".

TLDR; belive it or not I bumped it to make sure NEW PLAYERS get in on the action. Not to hype myself because I'm already awsome.

Still, you're crossposting and bumping your own threads.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Agree with Petrus and Liam.

You are just an attention whore who wants to get as many replies as possible.

1.) Don't cross post, next time just think (if you can) before you post your blog on the forum.
2.) Don't start bumping your own post, this just makes you look pathetic, if people want to see your post they will find you.
3.) Read me. Are you serious, how old are you.
