I have, at long last, unsubscribed from Eve. My recurring payments end soon.
I did this because Eve, as a game, is not fun or entertaining in any way. I came to Eve, lured by the promise of a game world where a single player could have a profound impact on the universe at large, mostly as a result of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGplrpWvz0I
The reality was very different. Skip to 1:46 in the video, and you will see what I mean.
When the player makes a choice to screw over the entire alliance...is there some epic chase across the reaches of space, with the player luring unsuspecting ships into an ambush, or conducting hour-long interstellar rampages of hit-and-run warfare? Nope, game mechanics such as warp scramblers and station reinforcement do not allow this.
Instead, the player in this video merely docks, steals items, and leaves.
The way that a single player single-handedly takes down an alliance does not involve combat. In fact, a single player in combat is only effective when participating with a much larger group.
I have no interest in flying with wingmen. Combat, especially sovereignty warfare, is not a viable gameplay option, operating as a solo player.
Goodbye, Eve. Eve UI wouldn't suck if CCP allowed UI addons. |

Can I have your stuff? Nevermind, I gave up playing 6 months ago. I am just lingering like a bad flatus. I don't always troll, but when I do I do it on EVE Online forums.

At least type it out; if you're not willing to spend a couple of seconds typing it out, are you really worth getting it? It is never too late to turn from the errors of your ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.

Your loss for insisting on playing this "massively multiplayer online game" in single player. This post was crafted by a member of the Goonswarm Federation posting cabal, the foremost authority on Eve: Online posting.

2 years and you still haven't single-handedly disbanded a major alliance? Perhaps this wasn't the game for you after all. |

Instead, the player in this video merely docks, steals items, and leaves. 1. Kiting tactics allow for this. 2. The goal of every heist in the history of mankind is to get away without getting hurt (much less killed) using a minimum of effort and resources (to increase the profitability of the theft).

So why are you play a Massively Multiplayer Online game? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

OP, I have a question for you:
If Eve contained solo ships for solo players, ones that are more powerful than fleet ships but unable to take advantage of gang bonuses, would you still play? |

You've had a learning experience by playing this game. Is it impossible for a player to be a one man army, a Robin Hood that is a thorn in a kingdom? No, that it's very much a possibility. Are you smart, clever, and special enough to be that hero? Well, as you've learned, the answer is no. |

Most people just leave the game and dont say anything. Only a select few can go on the forums and act like a 6yo girl who didnt get that My Little Pony doll she wanted so she stomps off to her room and slams the door. Bravo. Perhaps now Op can go apply some mascara and make a youtube video about why he/she/it is quitting. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |
