This is yet another thread that I fail to understand.

Yeah, lets just start whining about a corp that trains new players in a environment that might just make them want to play the game a bit longer.

I mean, heavens forbid, why would we ever want new players to feel like they have anything to contribute to the game other than a steady supply of tears for gankers. Why would you ever want new players to feel welcome when we can have all these bittervets complain about how useless they are.

These posts are getting more and more boring.


Thats what Poetic does. Im fairly certain he/she doesnt actually play the game for all the time spent on the forum qqing about EVE Uni.

Feel free to think that I don't play. :P Your personal fascination with my logged in hours has nothing at all to do with my fascination with the integrity of this game.

Funny you felt you had to try and prove it yourself though. Well more telling than funny.

You've become quite boring. The endless threads approach only works if other people jump on the band wagon. You're just diluting your message and destroying your "brand."

Instead of whining, how about you start Stanziel University? All the energy you put into this could be better used to train new players the "right" way.

No organization in EVE should get special in-game advantages from CCP (whether it's goons because Soundwave is a goon or whether it's EVEUni because CCP thinks they help retain players or whatever.)

As long as that line isn't crossed (or they're not cheating exploit-abusers like AHARM) then calling out corps is lame. If you don't like how EVEUni works, compete with them and do it better.

When I was a young and budding newb, as opposed to the older, cynical newb I am now... I thought it would be smart to join E-UNI to learn the game.

I was taught:

1. Don't use rigs on your rifter because it looks bad on a killboard when you die.
2. Don't leave station during war unless you're in a blob, because it looks bad on a killboard when you die.
3. If your killboard looks bad, bad things happen.
4. When you're so paranoid that you treat everyone like a spai, calling yourself a newb instruction corp and inviting the world to join isn't exactly productive.
5. Cheetahs are the most expensive ship you can possibly fly and must be defended at all costs.

Then I went out on an op:

...and I learned what it's like to be WTF podded through no fault of your own. (FC warped us to 0 on a SB blasting Domi) I learned that one guy could kill 100 if it's an E-UNI blob.

Later I would find myself on the other side of the coin. I learned that E-UNI pilots cry floods of tears and get all bent out of shape when they think your blue for some stupid reason. I learned that they like to throw threats around and freak out over overview glitches instead of saying ****-it, it's a game.

"LAST CHANCE!!!! LAST CHANCE!!!!"

The next day I learned that a 40 man gang can take on 200 E-UNI pilots and wipe them out when they came back to teach us a lesson. I also learned that E-UNI has unlimited man-power and that this is their one and only asset when two more fleets of similar size arrived to do what 200 of them couldn't....make us sit in the station and laugh at them (previously we were blowing them up and laughing).

I learned that sitting there like dumbshits on the gate, relying on 40% ewar composition, doesn't help you when you're being sniped from 100k.

All in all, I'd say that E-UNI has taught me a lot and provided me with many lols. EvE simply wouldn't be the same place without them.

Can you explain in detail where the "Carebear" touched you and how it learned this nefarious behavior from Eve Uni?

On a serious note since this last expansion seems to be mainly to the benefit of gankers and gun miners, both high and null sec, exactly what is the damage all these carebears are doing? They seem to be providing appropriate targets for ganking. They cry sufficiently. Do you want them to call you back after a gank? Start paying for the Gank? Your reliance on the "DOOM TO THE CAREBEAR" soap box is getting not only stale but downright boring.

I can ruin this thread for you if you guys wish my expertise on the matter to be brought to light.
