Rawr Cristina Caldari Naqam Exalted.	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:42:00 - [31] EVE is what it is - the only MMO out there that promotes dirty, devious gameplay and that's how we like it.
Senghir Amarr Deep Space Security	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:43:00 - [32] Originally by: Solomunio Kzenig You have actually summed in your peice there the reasons why most of EVE players actually like EVE i.e. its all about killin' stuff. I don't want nor do I need the RP aspects of EVE, I (and I'd say a good majority like me) just like EVE for its 'shoot peeps in the face' style. And even though it may seem mindless to you, if you've ever been in 0.0 Alliance battles you will know that the preparation and logistics that go into some of the bigger operations are pretty impressive. In your defence FW has been a HUGE letdown (tried it and got bored mucho quickly). But anyway enjoy WoW, but remember for the white knuckle PvP experience nothing beats EVE (FW accepted OFC ). For that pure, mindless PVP, I play Halo, or Call of Duty. Stuff like that. Those are games that have no other objective besides being an in your face shoot fest. That's why they're FPS. EVE is not an FPS. It's marketed itself as an MMORPG, and unfortunately for you, that does mean it needs an element of RP. Where that RP is quickly diminishing, it beings to lose its substance as the immersive world it orginally intended to create.
emthe	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:48:00 - [33] I really have no idea why EVE has a reputation for having a mature community... And come now, he's clearly not leaving because EVE requires too much 'thinking'. If anything too much of EVE doesn't require any thinking atall.
Mors Magne M. Corp Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:49:00 - [34] If I was as annoyed with 'griefers' as the OP is, I would join a friendly corp (like mine) that goes to war with 'griefers'. If a corp goes to war with 'griefers' this should provide the higher purpose the OP is looking for For your interest, my Alliance is currently at war with Triumvirate - they're badass and did nasty things to my old corp - Eve University (the most ulturistic corp in EVE). The fact that my Alliance (Mostly Harmless) are now at war with Triumvirate gives me one more purpose to play EVE
Sader Rykane Amarr Midnight Enterprises	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:50:00 - [35] Originally by: Senghir Originally by: Sader Rykane Why do you feel the need to tell us you're leaving. I dont. This post isn't for you or the community in any way. This post is purely for CCP staff that are interested in the opinions of their players. The forums are where the staff of CCP can read the opinions of their playerbase. The fact that you can also read my opinions is a testament to freedom of speech, and slightly unfortunate in that it attracts morons like flies to honey. You know, its fairly easy to understand why you have no one to play with in this game with the attitude you have. Honestly, I'm begining to wonder whether this girlfriend of yours is actually in reality not just your right hand. Besides, if you don't intend to raid or PvP in WoW then what the hell is the point of playing. Do you think leveling in World of Warcraft is somehow difficult or even fun? WoW quests are more mind numbing than Eve Quests, I would know I had around seven max level characters in Sunwell / Black Temple / Vindicator PvP gear before the expansion hit. The only way this post could be even worse if you were to admit that you were going to roll Night Elves on Alliance in a PvE-RP server. If you even think of doing something like that I will personally hand deliver a revolver to your door so you can go ahead and just shoot yourself.
Enraku Reynolt Minmatar Mid Knights Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:50:00 - [36] I just wish there was more counters to scamming, can fliping, etc so profitable to be an ass in this game, and little to no reason to be decent cept for decentcy's sake, and well, we see how thats working out
Senghir Amarr Deep Space Security	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:50:00 - [37] Originally by: Gevic Chronology of the "Hai Guize I Leave EvE cuz it/you all/everything sucks" 1. LOOK AT ME I AM IMPORTANT! I am so important that I feel the need to inform everyone that I am leaving. Cause there are no other ways of informing the people who would actually give two ****s about me leaving (like corp mail or corp forums). 2. I am leaving cause Eve SUCKS, and it sucks cause of (Etc) 3. Maybe if CCP would cater to my demands I wouldn't leave. Change it now CCP, you just lost your most important customer cause you wouldn't change these things. Change them and I will come back. 4. QQ Y EVERYONE TROLL ME!?!?! Okay, let me communicate on your level so that you may understand some of the irony in your response, and also to clarify for you what this post is about. A clue for you, my numbered paragraphs below are meant to be read identically to yours. 1. LOOK AT ME I AM IMPORTANT! I am so important that I feel the need to assume this post was meant for me, even though the original post stated it was meant for CCP, and signed off with a message to CCP. 2. This guy is leaving because he's taking a break, something already in the OP, but I dont read that because I like to read thread titles and type respnses with my face as fast as possible. 3. This guy definitely said he was leaving and was CCP's most important customer. I'm so sure of it that I'll apply this response to every leaving thread, no matter what the content says. Doesn't matter, I'm typing with my face. How cool is that. 4. I can't wait till I hit send and everyone can see how cool my post was.

Zantaz	Posted - 2009.06.14 17:59:00 - [40] Something that CCP never mentions is that Eve Online is basically a text game. They really shouldn't waste any time on grafics at all, all you need is an overview and a market screen. This company is so dumb that they think it's important to have an art department working on asteroids and gates, to make them look shinier and more realistic or something. If you want to be immersed in a whole 'nother world, with amazing things to see and do, if you want to cross continents on foot, and marvel at purple trees, crystal caves, and mighty dragons, this is not the game for you. No beauty, no imagination, no travel, no exploration, no bizarre monsters, no foggy swamps, and exactly the same amount of mindless grinding as any other game, amidst a real dirtbag griefer player base... it's really quite boring. Never played WoW, but I aim to. At least you can go for a walk and see some neat stuff.

I don't know the difference between GD, F&I, Assembly Hall, or other various and many methods of feedback. Instead I make yet another I am leaving Eve post for everyone cause I am another fine example of that wonderful combination of entitlement and stupidity. 2. Look at my clever rebuttal hurr 3. I didn't say that I was important but I feel the need for everyone to know by posting this thread in General Discussion 4. Look at my clever rebuttal hurr Let me summarize my arguments and the arguments of many others when it comes to "I am leaving/quitting/w/e Eve posts". We don't care. If you think CCP cares, there are other ways of letting them know. Ways that don't have to ** up GD or the forums. Cause the signal to noise is already atrocious enough. We don't care. Even if this thread has been a troll post, its a pretty ** troll. We don't care. If you really are leaving Eve, GTFO. That includes the forums. Taking a break, quitting forever, doesn't make a difference.

I think you have missed some stuff. 1. Concord spawn's A LOT FASTER 2. contracts have a better isk/money system now. So this just how its gonna be in the future. High sec will be left for noobs and lowsec for pros. And no ******s will be able profit from scamming/tricking the newbs. All that will be left is REAL PVP in low sec. So all the FAKE(carebear with canfliping/suicid/missgrif) pvp'ers will have to come down and pvp with the real pro's
UMEE Gunship Diplomacy	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:31:00 - [46] i agree with one thing: these forums are full of angry, low self-esteem trolls. they like to gang up and go all emo on you if u say something they disagree with. try not to judge the entire community by the forums (they attract those who seek attention/approval, amongst other things). it's possible to play this game with your girl and enjoy it, but you'll need a good corp and access to "things", i.e. wormholes, agents, 0.0 space, etc. if u wanna do all the PVE solo or in 2's (not talking about missions), u really gotta know what youre doing. you'll need a good corp to have fun pvp. in order to pvp, in general, u need to know what youre doing. basically, you cant get into eve thinking u'll experience its entirety as a newb like in WoW. the eve newb doesnt have access or the know-how.
Agent Known Apotheosis of Virtue	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:35:00 - [47] Why post when you know people will flame/troll you anyway? Waste of a thread to be honest... EVE, like all games, have an intended audience. Different people have different tastes (yes, we're not all mindless zombies). I really don't see the need to post a wall of text that you're leaving.
Misanth Reaper Industries	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:36:00 - [48] Originally by: Sunsh1ne Ac1d Reading the OP and the answers i thought of this first...
Anubis Xian Reavers	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:38:00 - [49] Check out Darkfall Online, it is far better than EvE or WoW ever will be.
Khemul Zula Amarr Keisen Trade League	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:40:00 - [50] Originally by: Senghir Me and my girlfriend both play EVE... I stopped reading here, because if a person blatantly lies in the first sentence you can be pretty sure the rest is bull**** too.
Awesome Possum Insert Obscure Latin Name	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:41:00 - [51] Guy obviously plays an RP-PVE server in WOW. Play guildwars if you don't want MMO in your MMORPG

Pretty much this. Enjoy your vacation from EVE, but when you're back, consider that there's more to PvE than missions - exploration is out there for the taking. And if you want some immersion, I can only recommend wormhole exploration. Granted, it's not as profitable as hisec missions, but from my personal experience, it's quite fun (delayed local ftw?) - and exploration isn't (imho) as repetitive as missions are. And it's all the more fun to do it in a small group. If you can't find a corp you like, hell, found one yourself (and be careful with recruitment ). Fly (or as it may happen, walk) safe and have fun

Hennry Fromer Gallente The Radiated Space Gerbils	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:44:00 - [54] Originally by: Senghir I'll create a shorter version for those people who dont want to read the entire post. By the way, if you arent going to read the post, then why reply? Dont waste my time or yours. Short version is we are taking a break, because the game lacks immersiveness in its world. Another issue with EVE, but not the reason for taking another break, is the antagonism that is prevalent. Also I've seen this on every single leaving or break thread. But why are so many responses centred around the person leaving because they must be finding it too complicated, or too hard, or they just cant take the PVP? To psychologially analyse this, you're taking other people's leaving the game as a mark of your own success, even though this is not warranted. Let me clarify for you that someone leaving the game does not signify any sort of achievement on your part. It has nothing to do with you. You aren't more accomplished, harder, tougher, or more badass. Someone leaving EVE is leaving for their own personal reasons. In some cases (and this is going to put a bend in your epeen) because they've achieved everything they wanted from the game, and now need a new challenge. If anything, your continued attachement to the game may only signify that you have not achieved anything yet, and continue to struggle with the challenge that so many others before you finished and moved on from. CCP if you are reading this, a lot of the replies above this one are a perfect manifestation of the mentality of many of the players of this game, and any other MMORPG. Because your game is so free (and that is a good thing in some respects), it allows this sheer idiocy to flourish. I don't know if you have explored it but joining a corp of like minded individuals adds whole new aspect to the game. Eve space is large enough and the clientele large enough to find people who like to do the same things as you and a place to do them. There will always be people who were dropped on their heads/ eat paint chips/ drink the bong water / etc.. in the game but they can do thier thing while you do yours.

Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:51:00 - [56] Originally by: Anubis Xian Check out Darkfall Online, it is far better than EvE or WoW ever will be. Don't agree on this, but everyone should experience naked zerging once in their life.
Armoured C Gallente Federation of Freedom Fighters Aggression.	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:55:00 - [57] oronically op say there is no reason for pvp apart to blow up the other guy but he is leaving the game for the very reason he hasnt seen yet. pvp isnt about blowing up the other guy , it about being disruptive as much as possible, your either one of 2 people when you are faced with such a problem, you either run away and ignore the problem and let more than yourself become disrupted which makes him win OR you fight the problem, if you fight and loose then you have honor to say i stood up again it and if you won then the problem is no more, when i enter a gate camp i dont try and see how i can escape or how fast ican get to the gate, i see a easy ship with the current set up i have and see if i can kill it before i die, ill be dammed if i am going out with out taking as many as i can with me

I do find it nterestng, that's why I keep coming back, I just dont find it long term is all.

Yeah, the corp I'm part of is made of in real friends. It's me, my girlfriend, and four other real life friends. There was a fifth, but he left a while back. I'll get him on here again one day :) We've done corp missioning, pvp, mining, exploration, wormholing. Only thing we havent done is corp trading :D
