I had high hopes for you and could see the game you were playing quite early on. But with your latest attempts, it's all looking like weak sauce.
Then of course, we can see you totally failed against Tippia and threw in the towel. What a shame.

CCP devs. The guys that make the game. You can go to youtube and find dev interviews where extracting tears is much talked about.
If you have a problem with people who like to extract tears, why are you choosing to play a game made by tear extractors, for tear extractors? I mean, it obviously bothers you.
Because I think that RPGs should be designed to play pretend and have fun, not to get mad or rejoice in making people mad.
In think thats a rather authoritarian view. What does it matter to you what some company does with it RPG?
If you don't like it, you could always by CCP and ban everyone you don't like from EVE. Alternately you could ignore the fact that games like EVE exist and be happy playing games that moderate behaviors much more.
People like you have always perplexed me. I'm not like a lot of EVE players (I actually like PVE, even that mission with the idiotic Damsel who keeps getting herself kidnapped). Yet it's easy to tolerate the different players who play EVE because without them EVE would suck.

Until then, I-¦m having fun stating the obvious, and seeing the Griefer Defence Force peddling their trade.
There it is. There is the smoking gun.
You think people like you are 'regular'. Hell, you might even be right because most MMOs coddle people in a warm blanket of safety and false hero-hood.
Why in hell would anyone want to be 'regular' or surrounded by 'regular' people who can't figure out how to do anything extraordinary in a game or in real life? Do you like boredom?
We see this thinking all the time here, the "EVE would get more subs if {insert anti-EVE feature here}" idea. Why not play a game that isn't made by psycho pvp players instead and let the "griefers" (and their allies, such as me) have their own space. Must everything be some bland "equality" type thing.
I think these ideas (of yours) are the true cancer. not content to control the bulk of the MMO world, you types must also have the EVEs of the world to. No niche or difference is allowed.

tippia doesn't have the ability to consider points of view other than his own. It's useless arguing with him because despite what is a very clear connection, he refuses to acknowledge.
Much like you, he does not understand the human connection between all of us playing the game. You view us like your play things, toys to be abused for your amusement.
you're not suppose to light us on fire and blow us up with firecrackers just to see us get mad that you wish to prove you're a bad person. You're suppose to want to play with us, respectfully.
But you don't see that, all you see us as is tools to make yourself feel better. But I'm not your tool, I'm a human being and I have feelings, which you obviously do not.
Which is why you are broken.

It's a role playing game, as such it is a fantasy, fantasy is an escape.
Now if people acted in real life as they do in game you might have a point, they don't so your so called point is invalid.
Fanfest and OOG meetups prove that people who will quite happily murder and steal from each other in game are also quite happy to buy each other beers and chat amicably in a real life setting, because they can separate their fantasy life from their real life, something you seem to be incapable of. |

I don-¦t see that WoWish rpgs are sandboxes. And remember why UO was trammelized, imposing hardcoded limitations on pvp.
When the technology allows for a million concurrent players, do you think CCP will still be content with 70-80k?

I think these ideas (of yours) are the true cancer. not content to control the bulk of the MMO world, you types must also have the EVEs of the world to. No niche or difference is allowed.
I think that "regular" gamers image their favorite character, whom they impersonate, waging battles, solving puzzles, interacting in some form or another with other player-controlled characters, all in the environment of the game. They are playing a game, and having fantasies that take place within the game.
In a sandbox environment, this allows for all kinds of heroic and dastardly actions, mind you.
You think that MMOs are bland and railroad experiences because of "regular" players. But, as I wrote above, remember why UO was trammelized. The griefers-¦ playstyle imposed this.
The problem lies not with the "regular" gamer, who wants to play pretend and actually enjoys open environments. It lies with the griefer type, who does not see the ingame narrative as an end it itself, but merely uses the game as a platform to experience Schadenfreude. They develop glee by witnessing their own selves (i:e. not their character) being the cause of the RL distress of some unknown Joe, which they have created by using the game as a platform.
And to clarify, there are in New Eden a lot of pirates and pvpers who do not fall at all into the griefer/ganker category. Actually, those are a minority, albeit a vocal one. |

Nope, Schmata is a pirate. Other character is near perfect trader and currently training for freighters. Another one just sits in Jita and tell my trader about prices. Another one flies around newbie systems and helps newbies in missions. Yet another is six days from sitting in command ship and will continue toward maxed out links and then finish probing skills.

You make that choice. Because you choose to be a douche, since the game isn't making you a douche, I get to think of you as one. |

Before this thread receives it's final inevitable lock, hopefully this is a summary of the reasons listed to the original question of why people on the forum appear to be negative:
- Strong HTFU attitude predominant in EvE where hostility in game carries over to the forum
- In general people are rabbits that cluster around common ideas and attack anything else
- People with negative opinions are more vocal (vocal minority)
- Anonymity of the Internet
- They forget the "G" in MMORPG and fail to separate real life from fiction
- A lot of threads contain nerfs to someone else's play, so are attacked to preserve current state
- Reposting the same thing over and over and over is very tiring
- Crap ideas deserve to be criticised
- Threads are posted in the wrong forums, particularly in relation to GD
- Trolls and feeding
- Easier to attack a person than their ideas
- Threads can begin negatively, so attract negative responses and it spirals
- EvE appeals to aggressive people, who carry that over to the forum
- The forum is an extension of the game and being the villain is valid
- Everything constructive was covered long ago, so there are no fresh, exciting topics
- It's easier to tear an idea down than to help improve it
- Posters develop perceptions of other posters and base responses on the perception rather than the post
- Moderation doesn't support people, so they have to be negative to defend themselves
- Lack of empathy and no real consequences
- Small **** syndrome
- Because some people want to be negative and the forum allows them to be
- Arrogance and self importance
- Some threads start with false facts (even deliberately) in order to produce negativity
- Lack of ability to use the search function before New Topic
- People lack personal control
- Shotposting deserve a **** response
- Something about hungry hippos (just added for some lightness to the list)
- Game is actually balanced between good and bad, but good tends to stay in game, so bad on the forum is the balance
- All video game forums are where negative people congregate
- Because bitter vets
- The game is based on competing aims between players which carries over to the forum
- There's no cake (see above earlier comment)
- Other real life frustration is released here (sexual was the example used)
- Because perception of negativity doesn't always match the posters reality
- People who suck at the game release their frustration here
- To generate tears
Anymore I missed?
It was only a quick gleen through the thread, so I may have missed some.
Anymore to add?
Many of those could probably be combined into single ideas and the list shortened, but I'll just leave it as is.
Now we need the "I enjoy all the positivity of the foums, why are people so positive" balancing thread (it will be short). eve-bazaar - I'm not associated with them, but support it as a worthwhile service |
