You know who I'm talking about. The ones who think EvE should be more like other games. The ones who hate it when consequences occur. The ones who make the game worse for those of us who enjoy how EvE is the crazy hot red headed **** that you can't predict or control. You just have sex with her when she lets you and put up with the crazy because that's who she is.
How do we get rid of the people that want to take my crazy red headed **** away from me and turn her into a Stepford wife?
Step one: war dec anyone who has to google Stepford wife.
Step two: open for ideas here.
Step three: you thought I was going to complete the meme and say "profit." Denied. Sort of.

Step 1: Wait for Star Citizen
Step 2: Hope the forget their EVE password when they realize that they suck in Star Citizen like they did in EVE (despite blaming the game and CCP for their failures) and try to come back here much more quietly than they left. |

What I would do is set up a giant wooden box, propped up with a stick.. with a length of string attached to the stick.
Under the box, I shall place a copy of WoW.
Then I will hide and wait.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Or you can get Trippia to chase them off with logic and reason. My personal preference is a combi of: "Haha no. Stuff to me. Death to highsec. Remove level 4s from empire" and so on until they explode in gibbering outrage.
It's incredibly difficult talking to these people in comms though. They get really uppity when you contradict them or start sniggering. I think last time someone gave me a lengthy lecture on the virtues of WoW I accidentally aggroed everything in a lvl 4 then warped off and pretended to dc. Their screams in comms were epic, but I'm pretty sure everyone else in corp knew I'd done it deliberately, so they gave him a free ship. Gits :( DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! |

i think EVE should become more normal, more like WoW and other mmorgs. I think EVE should welcome new players instead of driving them away.
You want to run me out of EVE? Im in wormhole space and not hard to find, come at me bro, wardeck me with your 16 lifetime highsec suicide gank kills, see how far you get. |

I don't remember suicide ganking anyone. But I may have been drunk.
Let me rephrase that: I am definitely drunk anytime I'm actually playing eve. So maybe I did. Turrents |

Given your terrible and often poisonous posting, I'm surprised your corp hasn't run you out of Eve themselves for making them, and WH folk in general, look bad. Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

Just ignore him, he's still bitter about getting his autopiloting Tengu ganked. Apparently he thinks anyone who kills something in Hi-Sec is a suicide ganker. "PvE in EVE is a trap to turn you into PvP content, don't confuse it for actual gameplay." Lipbite |

Try Molly Millions aka Sally Shears next time. That way I would actually have understood what you wanted to express without resorting to google and trying to guess what the forum's censor software hid. (Spoiler: 'Gur fxl nobir gur cbeg jnf gur pbybe bs gryrivfvba, gharq gb n qrnq punaary.')

So apparently you want to get rid of anyone who's not into anglophone popular literature. Sounds rather stupid to me. |

Well that wouldn't help much. Anyone who plays EVE for long enough hates themselves already. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

I know the topic is sarcastic, but I don't think we should try to get rid of people. People should make their own choices, and if an entertainment product like EVE is not for them, then so be it.
What we shouldn't pursue is a culture that encourages people to quit. The Muppets: P+¦pc++rn (thanks Ria!) "So.. youre saying you cant create content.... because other people are out... creating content?" --United Arab Emirates |

Op is an idiot. Forums are full of idiots, To many pro tears only gankers and Industry only carebears. To few rounded players who understand all aspects of eve.
For example. Cloak timer on ships with cloak + cyno fitted. so only active players can gather free intel and be in strategically valuable positions to drop cyno beacons. = Fair balance
Greifer response: No there's no harm what so ever in cloaked ships in your space go about your business and let us exploit timezones and rl to mean we can drop on targets out of your prime time at will. = stupid one sided view. Preserves only the game-play they take advantage of.
Carebear response: I want to mine with freedom at all times. why can people come to my space and shoot me at will. Remove cloak.... Make them be scan detectable. Make them use fuel make them unable to fit cyno. = one sided and removes a game style completely.
See unfortunately there is to much immature morons around who's only concern is them self and not the playability of the game for everyone |

AFK cloakers or cynos can't gather free intel or call in hotdrops from strategically important positions, because by being AFK they're not in a position to do so
Only active players can do this.

Secondly carebears should be aware by now that Eve is a PvP game at heart, 11 years of amusing stories and major media coverage should have made that blindingly obvious. There is no safe space.

The problem is the culture we should be creating/have can easily be misconstrued as a culture that encourages people to quit.
If you come from other MMOs and just nibble at the edges (only do the things you are used to doing in other MMOs) you start to get a misconception of what the game really is. If you keep on nibbling long enough you reach the point that you become a viable target (meaning you have stuff other people want). If you are not prepared for this or have lead yourself to believe that you are in a game where people won't **** all over you if you give them the opportunity, you get really frustrated/angry and find yourself at a crossroad, you either give up or you learn from your mistakes and try again. This is how it should be but again is easily misconstrued by perception (mainly reading these forums and all of the idiotic blogs/media available).
The reality is, this game is not for everyone. So player retention will always be difficult.
If people really care about new player retention just like anything else in this game we need to do it ourselves. Adpot a noob!
I have a few I have been giving pointers to, I let them play as they want but am sure to inform them of the realities of the game as opposed to telling them how they should play.
Anyway, there was a point in there somewhere, but I am too distracted at work to make sure it is cohesive, will look it over again later.
