After reading most of these posts, I have come to one conclusion: at least half of the chucklefucks commenting here didn't actually read the article. |

It doesn't even make sense to allow a corp member to outright kill another corp member. Unless they enter into a duel together. Spies/corp killers can just be more creative instead of join...kill...watch enraged player quit the game. How is that healthy for the game as a whole?
Ha, when you say "more creative" you mean "impossible if the corp leadership tells people to not accept duels". Which they would. Stop trying to remove a legitimate playstyle because you don't like it. If I had a million isk for everyone who blustered about quitting and didn't, I wouldn't have to pay for my acounts for a year. This is an imaginary problem. I didn't say I didn't like it. Just doesn't make sense to me to have it exist like that. Why would it be okay in any situation to openly fire on teammates without some type of consequence? As an addition to the things other people have stated, there's a benefit to this as well. You know what makes big ass ships warp off really fast? Being webbed at the right time. You know what lets you do that without being blapped by Concord? Being in the same corp. |

Did it today. Whee we've got newbies in local and even on our jabber. Rather give procurers though, much tankier. Then again, like mentioned, starting them off mining might not be the best thing to do for them. Not at all. A "noob friendly" corp doing that crap is what drove my wife to bail on the game in short order a year ago. Finally got her to start her account back up, and trying to show her that the game isn't quite as ridiculous as she was led to believe. It's close, but not quite. |

No I mean mining isn't the most interesting. That's exactly what I meant. They basically bored her out of the game with that crap. |

Their mission statement is to harvest my tears. I'll give them my spit in the face instead. If they want noobs to stay in the game they should help by firing their leader and disbanding their alliance. But what would become of all of the little bees that come in on a regular basis? Think of the children! |

Okay...you're actually starting to worry me a bit. All trolling aside, you have some serious problems. Either that, or you are one of the most convincing RPers I've ever come across. |

Mittens has been an advocate for the newbro for longer than most people still around have been playing Eve.
As an example, this was written in 2009 (originally on tentonhammer, I believe): http://themittani.com/content/soss-8-newbies-space-0
I know, grr Goons and all, but seriously, for once, you people are barking up the wrong damned tree. |

Mittens has been an advocate for the newbro for longer than most people still around have been playing Eve. Yeah that's one way of looking at it, the other way is that Goons denied them the whole EVE experience so they can be meatshields in their little empire. It's no wonder you're having trouble getting them to log in and call for desperate measures like a play nice MMO. This is hilarious on a couple of levels. First: denied them what "whole" experience? The ****** first couple of months that everyone complains about, when your primarily sources of income are tedious at best (unless you follow Mittens' advice and become a young scammer)? Maybe if half of the shitlords in Eve treated their newbros like Goons do, we'd have better new player retention. Second: I've only been here (GSF) for a couple of weeks, and I've already seen us put up full fleets in oddball timezones, and that's not even counting the guys who aren't in the deployment zone. What was that about logging in again? All of those problems that "everyone" seems to deal with, seems to impact the CFC significantly less. Part of that is sheer numbers. The other part, I'll leave for you to speculate. |

Character progression PvE and Player skill based PvP.
EVE is a game where Character skills/equipment/numbers matters more than player skill, so PvP in it is terrible; except for the large groups of old accounts, who fear/hate changes to 'their' game.
Eve has ALOD after ALOD that tells a different story. You should read them sometime. |

CCp is like our US government, too dumb to figure it out and too rich to care. Also, much like the US government, they have a population of players trying to pull them in 40 different directions. That never helps with sound decision making. |

If you actually read what they post (rather than seeing a goon and immediately writing off the contents of their posts) you'd know that more than one of their corps openly recruits in game in a non-scam way. Precisely this. I'm amazed that people still seem to think that all of GSF consists only of SA members in Waffe. |

Can you give me an example of a social system where humans perpetually congregate in guerilla groups and don't form power blocks to be more effective at capitalizing resources? I suppose FARC counts.
Edit: wait, nevermind, you said system, not group. I'm a derp. |

Right after you give an example of humans instantly teleporting all their city sized weapon systems into the same 10km area. Seriously? His point is one based on human nature, which is universal and unavoidable in any human interactions. Yours relates purely to internet spaceships.
Way to compare apples to my coffee table. |

Thank you for confirming that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, on either of these subjects. |
