In some of the other posts, those people on slashdot said some horrible things about us EVE players. "Sociopaths." "No one at all can be trusted." "Scammers." "Use vile and filthy language." "Juveniles fixated on ruining somebody's day." Somewhat true, but it's not the whole picture of course. Looking back, I can remember when I was new to EVE and saw it the same way. I took things more seriously. Disgusting things in people's bios offended me more. Now it's all just water off of a duck's back. Interesting to see the perspective of MMOers outside of EVE.

I have played several MMORPGs (not WoW though) and I don't find EVE players all that different from players in other games. What may be the biggest difference is that players are more forthright about hostility because of banhammer application differences. My point is: People are same, just they adapt to different gaming environment.

I like EVE too!

What a coincidence that so many of us here happen to like EVE!
