Hey, look, it's granddad. Grandpa Bill: "I remember my uncle Joe who used to go mining, back then it was easy to get black lung, but we called it coughing lung because we really didnt care what color it was, the coughing seemed like it should be in the title since he did so much of it." |

I speak from real world experience from being in the military and observing human nature. If we remove that thin veneer of civilization, we quickly find out who the animals are...
We also find out quickly who the whiny care bears are when a suicide bomber walks into your local restaurant... I don't expect to see many folks in the neighborhood making excuses for the bomber, or referring to a sandbox.
Am I the only one who wouldnt go murdering IRL if there were suddenly no consequences? That is just not something I would EVER do. But in game i a perfectly intent to blow up internet pixels |

Perhaps you should consider that people would complain because, as has been pointed out about 5000 times in this thread already, there is a difference between real life and a video game.
That would be the point you are missing... repeatedly... and by a wide margin. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |

I'd do it if, when it was over, the victim stood up and said, 'man, that was terrifying! I nearly pooped my pants!' and then I go, "man, that was the coolest thing I've done all day....ok my turn!" |

As a response to part 2 of your question look at these forums and count the number of high sec residents screaming bloody murder that they should be 100% safe in high sec, lobbying CCP for a 100% safe high sec, and making ludicrous claims about other players violating the EULA. If mining and missioning in hi sec aren't problems to these sociopaths, then why the incessant call to arms from the "hardcore PVPer" community to attack and kill them? Why the constant belligerence and belittling against them? Why the unfounded and deliberate accusations that carebears are greedy and stupid? Why the constant whining and crying about moving missions and anything remotely fun to them into lo/null sec? Why the constant whining that carebears should be kicked out of NPC corps and hi sec altogether? Do you consider the act of enjoying ruining someone else's day (ie "collecting tears") normal or even healthy behavior? And I am not talking about PVP'ing for in-game reasons. When you "PVP" to deliberately provoke real negative reactions from a real human being because this brings you joy (note how your enjoyment is also real) then you can stop it right there claiming that the game is "just a game", because at that point to you, it has become more than that. The game itself has become a real-life tool to project your ill-intent. And I maintain that not only are you a sociopath, but a sadistic one at that. The hate and pleasure for ruining people's days that hulkageddon seems to breed are but a few signs of this ill-intent behavior. And no, I haven't been ganked in hi sec. I don't even mine in hi sec. I also find the hypocrisy of a couple of posters in this very thread who have in numerous occasions called carebears (among other names) greedy, cowards, and sociopaths in real life, quite ironic.
You're wrong on this imo. People enjoy blowing up ships because its cathartic. People cry about losing ships because they get to attached to a game. |

But i dont know man, am I a douche for blowing up a hulk that has no tank and isnt aligned? I dont think so. "Dont make your lack of planning into my emergency." is one of my favorite quotes. Really no one should ever die to high sec gankers. But they make themselves a false sense of security and get too attached to their ships. That isnt the ganker's fault |

The point Ranger 1 is making is valid.
Step out of your 1st world, plentifull food and resources point of view for 1 second and take a look around. Ever seen news video here in the US of Black Friday?
This lady pepper sprayed shoppers so she could get something she wanted to buy that was in limited supply.
That is just one real world example of exactly the kind of behavior we are all talking about. Look up more black friday tales and see how quickly people let loose with the crazy and this is in the USA.
Want more examples of the crazy?
How about these cops that shot victims after the Katrina hurricane hit New Orleans.
This also happened in the USA. Am I opening everyones eyes yet?
These are not isolated incidents of a few crackpot fringe group numpties. These are your neighbors. Your neighbors play video games and some of them may even play Eve.
We are just a few meals away from anarchy. Keep thinking that the behavior of some people in game, aka "Moar tears", are just your normal everyday nice guy. The only thing keeping these psychopaths from acting out more aggressively in real life is their bellies are full and their minds are entertained. When it comes to PvP, I am like a chiwawa hanging from a grizzley bears pair of wrinklies for dear life. |

Yeah I kinda doubt crazy soccer moms who are trying to get the latest ZuZu pet for little Timmy are Eve online players.
I don't even leave the house on Black Friday. I haven't seen a sale yet that beats careful year round shopping from Amazon: And I can have them wrap it and deliver it to my door. |

However his first point sticks perfectly with average Eve player state of mind : "If we remove that thin veneer of civilization, we quickly find out who the animals are..."
And there are a lot in this game that unfortunately don't really make difference with reality, should I remind you some kid's video with threats, or IG insults because you're German, Black, Chinese and so on? Should I also remind you some sad episode about fan fest 2012?
You might no want to see it or admit it, but it's there.

Seek therapy. This isn't a troll post or a joke post, or me ******* with you.
If you are using Eve as a "Virtual world" to live out a "Virtual Life" to escape reality and it is "Not just a game to you" then you need to seek Therapy.
And bear in mind I say that knowing the standard American bias against therapy (Thanks Reagan). There is nothing wrong with getting therapy, and there is not a person on this earth so well adjusted throughout the entirety of their life that they couldn't benefit from talking with an impartial someone about their problems. |

While I don't doubt that there are some people who use virtual worlds as a means of escapism, I also think for some people a virtual world is an augmentation to the real world or an additional facet to the real world. If you see Eve as an extension of your world then it makes sense that you would have strong feelings for the things that go on in that virtual extension.
Not saying it's right or wrong, just pointing out how I think some people perceive online worlds. And why that leads to such real feelings.

It's just a game dude. It's meant for entertainment. Nothing more: nothing less. If it's not achieving entertainment: Stop playing. If it's causing actual anguish and harm: Really stop playing.
I mean honestly the people that get so worked up in this game that they threaten real life violence (I've read some good ones lately, the latest is some guys violent hate kill fantasy he wants to enact on mittens at Fanfest) then they are too invested and need to unplug.
I've been camped into a station. I've lost ships that made a simple mining barge loss look rather anemic in terms of cost and they weren't reimbursed either. Due to the fact that I'm a goon, and I play eve with goons I'm regularly the target of some of the nastiest personal smear campaigns you have ever seen.
Want to know how much sleep I lose over it?
None. When I log out of the game for the night, I'm fine. Oh occasionally there will be the twang of regret, but that is usually over something I did that was stupid like going afk and dieing to rats because I warped in to close then had to take an emergency poop. But even that doesn't lose me sleep. It's a game. I laugh it off.

Yeah you dont wanna do something when RPing that attempts to get someone to hurt themselves IRL And what, exactly, led you to this incredibly insightful conclusion?
Oh, somebody who wasn't playing Eve at the time and also wasn't RP'ing. He was ****-talking about Eve while inebriated by CCP-provided beverages on CCP-unmoderated live stream.
Which CCP then retroactively said is tantamount to their forums.
Which are, in fact, moderated.
So they weren't at all.
But we're over it. |
