Did you ever think that maybe some people play Eve because they want to be a miner? Crazy I know. It''s like SWG, some people wanted to be Uncle Owen and not Luke Skywaker - SOE made the decision that everyone had to fit into 8 cookie cutters and you see how well that worked out for them.
Gameplay restriction - > Player Attrition -> Less Revenue -> Less Development -> No Game Growth
Go ahead, grief more - when all that is left is griefers and ships are going for Billions of ISK because supply has collapsed, at least you can look at your epeen while singing "I did it my way". 300k subs say you're wrong. 12k new subs last month (estimated from survey data) also say you're quite mistaken. Dude - 300k subs in like 9 years is laughable. Back in 2009, it had 280k so a 8% growth in 3 years is what you're going for here? 12k news subs with probably only a 30% retention due to learning curve is nothing to close your eyes about while touching yourself tonight. End of the day, EVE is a niche game. I enjoy (having a degree in economics and being an Economic Analyst professionally) but things that make it more of niche by alienating a portion of the game community is not going to strengthen your argument.
Just FYI, the current Sub count is inching towards 450k, and EvE is the third largest Paid Western MMO(WoW and SWOTOR ahead). 5th including FTP (add Runescape and Second Life).
EvE's about as niche an MMO as Volkswagon is a Car manufacturer.

Now how do you feel about a player's choice to whine in public about inability to adapt and how we should change or he's leaving and what that says about his sportsmanship? Similar to our choice to make fun of an obvious overblown or possibly trolling "quitting EVE" thread from a serial "unsubber" ?
There's another kind of loud forum unsubber?

I make plenty of ISK working in highsec and a little in lowsec, with little risk. I do not whine, or get upset when I get ganked, nor do I ask for any additional protection, I realize it is part of the game. I do not have more than 30 minutes to an hour of time each day to play Eve. I also do not have the patience to sit around waiting for people to get organized in order to do anything. I also have little to no desire to be told what to do by anyone else in a video game. With all that being said, I am completely willing to contribute to the overall goals of whatever particular alliance, assuming they have something to offer me in return for my services. So tell me, what use do you have for me, and what can you offer me in return for me moving to null and joining your alliance?
We're not trying to convince you to join anyone. We are just pointing out that one way to avoid the issue of suicide ganking entirely is to move to low/null.
There are other ways to adapt to HAG as well. People usually yell at me when I post them. It hurts my feelings when I get yelled at for being helpful.

The intent of the original post is irrelevant, it'll get trolled or rick rolled or taken seriously or mocked mercilessly as the responders see fit.
I would never say the original post's intention doesn't matter.
