Where do you put your mouth at?

I don't ask about your nose, because it's all brown and smelly off apologetic propaganda of course.



Everyone's mouths are currently occupied vomiting up those 'masterlessons' in economics you insist on forcing down our gullets through these forums.


Yeah I am sending my sponsored evil minions down to your home system and...

oh wait, you can click the portrait and hide those posts forever.

Wish it was as easy to adjust to the "emergent gameplay" that of course is being forced in thousands of players' throats with no choice but HTFU or die.

lololol


This time I mean it for real. PUT UP or SHUT UP

Pay for a webcam for me and I will.

Otherwise take your own advice.

Edit: and I won't do it in Caldari space unless you pay me an exorbitant amount of ISK to take my Hulk 20 jumps. Or you supply the Hulk, in which case I will move there tonight.Smile


No one will be paid in advance for the initial 2 hour video. Show me your pious miner dedication. Also if the profits of high sec mining were as great as you kids claim, you wouldn't need to be paid at all to make these videos.

However I'll raise the price to 100,000,000 ISK for a video that matches my conditions in the OP.

You don't get it. I don't have a webcam. I also don't have a job. I am a minor, with overprotective parents so they won't get me a webcam. So unless you supply me with a webcam, I won't be able to take said video of my regularish mining activities.
I don't care about the isk, I would just like to prove you an idiot. But for that, I woudl need a webcam.

That's kind of what EvE's about. It's not a nice place. It's not meant to be a nice place.

"not meant not meant not meant".

Always the same mantra. The sandbox = we command, you obey or die.

Where did I see this again... let me think a moment...


....



... ah *pats head* now I recall!

I have seen this in very bad work places in countries with a lot of unemployment and where employees are forced to do anything and for pocket change and generally live a very unrewarding and crappy life.

Why didn't I think how cool was to implement the same life in paid entertrainment?


Well, I suppose that after all, deciding to stop using a ship because it's just a waste of money is on the same wavelength of deciding to stop paying a game because it's just a waste of money.
Hope many will take your tip.

If people don't like this game, there are several games with similar themes to EvE. None of them are particularly popular, because they don't offer nearly the amount of unrestricted player agency that EvE does.

I'm not worried about people leaving EvE because I don't see any competitor that offers the same kind of unrestricted Player Agency that EvE has. If people leave because they don't like the game, I'm fine with that, no matter how long it took them to figure it out (if it's a long time, I'm really sorry they wasted a lot of time).

But then, I like EvE. I like that nowhere is safe. I like that the playing field is level (not fair; a level playing field is about the most unfair thing possible). I like that players can work together to make an impact (and indeed wreak havoc) on the rest of the game world. I don't want any of that to change.
