Sounds like the OP needs a juicebox and a nap.

Next time, think about what your corp is offering, vs. what you're asking a potential new member to do.

You might find this is the reason as opposed to 'OMG EVE PLAYERZ R ALL DIX!!!111!!!!111'

You're just feeding them what they want to eat. Forums are full of dicks that drink up your tears, best learn not to give them what they want, and don't take it personally. Thats Definately what they want, you ranting about it. They LOVE it.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

Ahar! This entire thread bears out Pok's diagnosis. It's not "what's" being said, though that is quite telling, it's "how" it's being said.

Damn you are one negative person Sad cheer up, bud!

I meet super cool people all the time in space, and really love it.

Cheers to that ex-RvBer I frig duelled two nights ago, to the vet explorer who convoed me in a 6/10 yesterday, and to that small pack who tried to gank me in that same plex - good times, good times Cool



I can say the same.
I know a lot of cool guys, me and my alts went in awesome hi sec and 0.0 corps with friendly people who patiently teached me the basics, I did TONS of audits / consultancies etc. with nice and honest clients.

Maybe the OP should focus on the forest that silently grows, instead of the tree that falls with much noise.

Cold hard fact is that when people can get away with stuff they will try to get away with as much as possible.

It's a sad reality of human behaviour.

You'd almost think that the 0.0 alliances were involved with real money in this game with how seriously they take it!


That, more than anything else, is precisely what the situation is with some of the nullsec Alliances.

As for the rest of your comments, you're quite correct with regards to some of the players attitudes in this game, but you tend to be highly emotional about it. That dilutes your credibility, unfortunately. Still, I agree with what you have said. It's not as harsh a universe as it is made out to be. Not in my books. It's just that some of the population are total retards and there's nothing that can be done about those, other than to employ common-sense filters in everything you say and do.

Good luck with your recruiting and don't lose faith - just be the better person in terms of communication. No need to step down to the cussing level some of the retards thrive on.

Troll or not troll - fact is that there are massive, huge, enormous amounts of assΘ in EVE - simply is unbelievable that peoples are so frustrated - this is a game, not a shrink substitute for solving emotional and mental problems. But if there are players that truly act that way (that's their way of thinking), than they have real problem ... or man kind in global.

It must be cheaper than a shrink though.

So what you're saying is EVE is the place to go if you need a shrink and can't afford a real one?

I've come to conclusion that there are 2 main mindsets in eve universe

1.Creationist
2.Destructionist

Creationist mindset usualy gather resources for building things of achivment, it considers PVP to somwhat of necessity
economy-sinkhole,



PVP is not a sinkhole for the economy. PVP runs the economy. It's not a "necessary evil", it is the absolute joy of the manufacturer/industrialist. Without PVP, the demand for ships and modules essentially goes to zero. Without PVP there is only stagnation. It is not an economic sink-hole, it is a source of ISK through insurance payouts. It is, however, one hell of a material sink. This is why most people never understand how it works.

Industry on the other hand IS an isk sinkhole. All those skillbooks, all those planet taxes for POS fuels. All those BPO's bought from NPC's. All those sov bills. All that is isk that permanently leaves the economy on a one time or daily basis. Of course the plus side is that economy moves material from me to the PVPer/PVEer, and ISK from the PVPer/PVEer to my wallet. From my wallet that ISK either gets given to NPC's or farmed out to other manufacturers. We industrialists never have to give a single ISK to a PVPer - unless of course we're dumb enough to pay ransom.

Well, if you are so devoted and serious about the game, I do not even dare to imagine what you do in RL -BRAVO !

Two things I've learned in life. 1.) Don't expect a crazy person to make sense. 2.) Don't argue with a fool. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

There's no way the player population of this game, the real world army of your choice, a governmental body (pick a country), or any gathering of the present occupants of earth can be above their established mental state...or balance...imbalance? The truth is, the frontal lobe activity of the present day earthling is negligible. That's where the consequence of action, or moral consequence of action is mediated. There's a new term for it now...since sociopathic psychiatrists are counted in this mix...but the old term is "sociopath."

We often mistake sociopathy as isolated to serial killers (an estimated 65 of these running around the U.S. at any given moment.) But, the truth is, there's two kinds of sociopaths. The bold ones are the serial killers. The chicken ones are too afraid of real world consequences (read: electric chair, hanging, lethal injection) to actually act out their disorder. So, you will find, in the safety of an environment like this, they feel free to express what they are naturally.

A feature of sociopaths is claiming "everybody else does it, so why not me?" You've seen that in one form or another in the responses to your post. What's unique about EVE interactively speaking is, the management actually approves of, supports and themselves participate in this behavior, naturally seeing nothing in the world wrong with it. In fact, the vast majority of EVE players use it as a means to release their sociopathy, and so will tell you it's "what the sandbox is all about," and "you have a problem if you can't deal with that, boo hoo you."

Naturally, it's lost on them the other potentials and options that unafflicted people would see as a matter of course, and would also attempt keeping in line with the nature of unsullied human intelligence. They see this sort of enterprise and activity as merely a victim setting him or herself up to be -ized by them, gleefullly.

In a very real sense, therefore, in EVE you are actually in a culture of sociopaths. In a very real sense in the real world you are also in a culture of sociopaths. So, if you see sociopathic behavior and don't recognize it as such, that's very likely a sign you are so afflicted, too. If you DO see such behavior and react as though this person should change for the sake of common sense, I refer you to "what I learned in life 1."

Have a nice day. Blink



"sociopaths."?
Bit of a harsh description for a generation of barney raised little snowflakes who have never had a proper asswhupin. You know the ones that think at best the only punishment in life is a firm talking to, fines and adult time out. Thats until one day they encounter and cross a real "sociopath." Then are welcomed to the racks of missing persons or random fatal violence.
