Because it's the largest space MMO in existence, but it's also a horrible experience for people who don't like dealing with the dregs of society. This game attracts the worst people, and that makes me sad, because it's otherwise quite enjoyable.
I've been playing on and off since 2006. I've been back a whole 2 or 3 days, and I'm already regretting it. So, I'm out. For good. The socially-challenged degenerates have won.

the majority of the people who play it are normal.
Well, nvm they're not normal.
Not as bad as you think.
It's just the dudes on the forums who think their opinions are worth listening to and the definite minority of psychos in game who lead you to believe what you do. |

@OP
you lose a poorly fitted Retriever in Lowsec and start calling others "socially-challenged degenerates". This was all your fault.
I'm usually not that guy, but...

contrary to popular belief, eve doesn;t have the 'dredges of society' eve has some very smart people who know how to use the system to there advantage.
you are an immortal god that can do whatever the **** you want.
i have met, in my years here, only maybe a handful of least common denominator people, and thous tended to be the morons who thought eve was wow in space and could cut it.
Put on your big kid pants and deal with it. Welcome to the real world, all other mmos are supervised play dates in comparison.
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom

Screw that, I will happily scrub the apathy and failure away, OP. Give your stuff to me.

I don't know... he's in low-sec, probably wasn't paying attention as his drones weren't deployed so the death was fast enough that nobody would know how he was treating others in exchange for how he should be treated. In low-sec, the only golden rule is 'get the gold as it drops from the wreck'. |

In low-sec, the only golden rule is 'get the gold as it drops from the wreck'. I don't think he drew that conclusion from the ingame actions, more from the post. Looking just a little deeper shows that even before he got ganked he was not very good at interacting with others.

I'll admit I look down a little on some of the people that go to great lengths to get a nearly meaningless kill. but to call them the dregs of society... hell no! That and you can avoid them for the most part by taking some very easy precautions. the corp theft side is a little hazier, but don't risk what you can't afford to lose. and a lot of it can be avoided by just not mixing all your stuff with corp stuff. I'm 99% sure this kinda stuff exists in other mmos, but the GMS/Devs swaddle the player base whenever anything slightly bad happens, if not ought right prevent something bad from happening.
ps, read the warning when jumping into low...

Because sometimes, Fiery Kernite is worth the trip to lowsec.
When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading 'Guns and Ammo', masturbating in your own faeces, do you just stop and go, 'Wow! It is amazing how f*cking crazy I really am!'?

You're exactly the type.of degenerate he's talking about. What type of sad person goes to look on a kill board purposely to come and have a go and try belittle him and make some assumption he's left because of that.
To be honest he's right eve has some of the worse people playing it. It is full of absolute idiot but there are about 20% that are decent folk |

I don't think your statistics are accurate.
If you take just the forums, which are a very small portion of the playerbase, look at the posts in Newbie Questions / Answers, all of the various profession sub-forums, Features and Ideas Discussion, etc., and just in general any subforum other than General Discussion, and you'll rarely see complete "degenerates"; it's mostly decent, helpful replies.
General Discussion tends to be pretty bad, but basically my point is if you compare the number of posts in GD vs. the number of posts in the other sub-forums, you get way more than 20% "decent people".
This game certainly does not have the pink fuzzy helpful atmosphere that you find in PVE games like WoW, SWTOR, etc., because we pvp here.
I'd guess that the general attitude is nobody cares about you; you're not special in any way, so why should they care?
Personally, I'm somewhat sad to see another player decide to quit, but it's a game, people quit it when it's no longer fun for them. I've taken multi-year breaks; depends on what the devs are implementing and whether the features are interesting to me. Without sarcasm, good luck with other games. |

considering we've all screwed up, and most of us far worse than a retriever in lowsec, and have bounced back and have now gotten to wherever we are now, I don't really have a problem with the responses. had the OP shown up looking for advice we would all (okay maybe not all, but most of us) be gladly helping him and sharing stories of our screw ups and having a good laugh. Instead they showed up and called most of us nutters. Rather than sink time in writing a quality post to help, most of the previous posters recognize the op is on the way out no matter what they say and are using the thread for cheap/easy laughs.
adapt or die. and in this case it is adapt or call everyone else crazy and quit instead of admitting you have an option to adapt.

You're alright though. Crazy, but otherwise ok.
OP, sorry you feel that way. It's not my experience in the game and I generally meet extremely friendly people, even those I'm in direct conflict with in game, or those with completely different views on things. Move the character aside and the people I meet are some of the nicest I'd ever hope to come across.
To me, the community is a lot tougher judging itself than the reality of it. Most people here are pretty good.
Just my opinion though, so no more valid or correct than yours. Just different.

Hey OP.
Sorry you feel like this is a reason for leaving this game. But just to clarify things: When you start a low sec roam, see a retriever in a belt with a Character as old as yours there is really no way People are not engaging you. Thats what you signed up for when you decided to mine or do any stuff at all in low sec. Plus, you basically cried out in local and insulted us. Well, you got your answer for that. Be glad your pod got away.
If your reaction is not like" Mean SoBs killed me and took my ****" you might even get a good Response. I met some very nice People by getting killed by them^^ You might want to try that some time.
PS: We didnt do it to ruin your day. We got 5 Mil out of it
PPS: my first Forum post - and my first whine thread^^ |
