I think I found the perfect analogy for EVE balance right now and to describe what I want fixed

EVE may be a sandbox, but not everybody playing in it can work with that idea. Some build sand castles, but some want to use the Toy trucks to move the sand.

The trucks drive the castle builders crazy because the other kid isn't building castles, and he wants to build castles. Yet another kis is happy just digging in the sand with a toy shovel. None of them mind the castle builder, but the castle builder still can't stand that they aren't building castles with him. So he pushes the kid with the toy trucks, picks up a truck and throws it at the digging kid. The diggingg kid and the toy truck kid decide that the castle kid is no fun and take their toys to another sand box. Now castle kid is having a full on temper tantrum and runs over to the other sand box, kicking sand and toys and pushing the kids. THe other kids decide it's better to leave than to play around the mean kid. Now mean kid is standing alone in the playground crying "why don't they want to play with me!!??!!".

They call this "hulk-a-geddon" and "ganking" but it's just an ill-tempered, poorly adjusted brat.

Your tears amuse me almost as much as the price of Gallente Ice.

You can't really play an MMO and expect that most the people will be pleasantly tempered, well adjusted, people. Somebody who spends 16 hours a day, 7 days a week playing a video game instead of having a life is pretty much ill-tempered and poorly adjusted by definition.

Say what you will, he's completely and utterly correct, even if his grammar was awful.

Then, until one day, no matter where your sandcastle is built, you wake up to THIS ... get steamrolled , give yourself for dead, and have a vision of the afterlife and begin to SEE more clearly when you are brought back to life... and see people here ingame and out of it, blocking your path on several corners, obstacles to the truth and along the road after hardship and even more loss you begin to let go and play eve totally different and meet new friends and partners, for you have been cleansed. Thats how EVE really is

Yes, like that, here in EVE. Happens a lot. Some die, others dont, they just have their eyes opened.

No he's not. You can't know that. It's pure speculation.
It's just his interpretation and that's simply because he doesn't play this way.

Unless he acknowledges how others play and sees the bigger thing,
he can stop playing anyway.

Hell, am i the only guy who has fun playing solo, although interacting with others plenty ? O_o

What tears? I'm in a null sec alliance and I haven't mined in well over a year. Just calling out the idoits for bad game play. Bad game play is bad. Re-read my post and then look at all the "why aren't people moving to null sec?" posts that have been around. It's you, so shut up or get better.

tl;dr
Learn how to play well with other kids and maybe they will like to play with you too.
