He should have said black cats with downs. Then he could be racist as well as 'ableist'.

Yes, playing EVE is like herding cats.

It is rarely more profitable to do group activities than it is to do those same activities with just me and my army of alts.

Where is the profit in group activity? Well, there was lots of group activity in incursions, until the enhanced profit that created was resulting in mass ISK inflation, so CCP nerfed it, and group activity fell again as it just wasn't more profitable than being off on my own, doing my own thing.

The exception is PVP, where it is always better to have more people... except then you can only get fights from groups that are even bigger, bigger.

Getting groups of players together and having them act as a cohesive unit against a common enemy or work for a commonm goal seems like an exercise in futility lately. Im not talking 0.0 blob warfare either.


Hey guys, there's this thing we should all do but no one seems to want to do it...except for those guys over there, they've done it pretty well. But screw them. QQ BLOBBY BLOB QQ

Highlighted the problematic sections. Sigh. Nevermind. Sad

EDIT: No, actually, I'm going to try and explain again. You are stuck in a mode of thinking that involves a lot of profit. I am more into a mindset where I want to create content, contribe to created content, be social with dudes, and bitter enemies with others. Value both above ISK and you solve the core problem: you are purely thinking in how group activities affect your income. Rather, try and think how your ISK and SP can support group activities that are fun and won't break the bank. CCP's events should inspire you to do these things yourself.

Apparently their owners can.

I think an apology is very much needed here.


How dare you pick on a mentally challenged group and make fun of them! You should be ashamed!

This entire post should be removed, and op getting a good slap across the face.

I have a step daughter with downs, and she has more going for her than some of the people I've come across in these forums.

Could we please have a dev step in here and do something.

thank you very much.
