Eve is not your friend. Players are not your friend. This isn't a Facebook game. This is a game based in treachery, cruelty, and a certain reality others games do not give you. Therefore either adapt or move on. Eve isn't for everyone. I suggest you realize that rather quickly before insulting the entire playerbase over a game you do not understand.


I'm your friend. <3

And I'm not OVERLY treacherous, and most certainly not cruel.

I always find it humorous that what I perceive to be such a minority of cruel players are convinced that they are the majority. Ah, but that's perception for you, a trixie devil its is.

Can't stress how much I agree with this OP. Not even going to add anything, there's no point when CCP has shown they plan to do nothing about the childish and abusive behavior in this game.

I love the game and won't leave until a new space sim comes out. There are many players in-game who feel the same way and try to just ignore the bad apples. What happens though when another game comes out that matches up with EVE? What happens if they actually ban people for being indecent? I for one will be quitting EVE the day that happens. I reckon many will follow.

Some may say to just ignore them, or not care... but when the two biggest alliances in the game - whom routinely have CSM seats - promote homophobia, racism and childish behavior it becomes a game that's hard to enjoy in the long term.

I've not read the entire thread but to the OP - bans occur as do sanctions against those who breach the EUlA. I wouldn't quit over a few immature (but offensive comments in local chat). Block those that do and enjoy the game as you see fit

If someone targets you specifically and goes WAY over the top --> report them.

If it's just middle-school style silliness --> block.

With some exceptions, I prefer a game where the social aspect is primarily taken care of directly in-game by the players themselves.


As an example, a certain ex-sov holding alliance joined Faction Warfare for a few months.

I honestly don't remember seeing anything particularly offensive in local, but it was often full of annoying spamming and utterly moronic chatter.

Those guys were also on average terrible at PVP, I'm assuming at least partially because smart players would never join a group with such a high percentage of childish people.

So you reap what you sow I guess, which makes perfect sense to me in a sandbox MMO.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!

The best thing about the Morality police is watching their eventual cascading failure of hypocrisy!

I find your pontificating severely lacking.


All that out of the way. Real harassment that crosses out of the game into the RL is wrong and should be summarily dealt with using the already available in-game tools.

Everything below that line is fair game in EVE.

I kinda enjoy the Trash talk. It's up to you if you continue to read it or not.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

I never quite get that argument.


Read the backstory and chronicles some time ... there are some really dark ones in there ...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
