In EVE the weak are culled and only the smart/strong survive.
The problem there is that trusting or caring about others is only seen as weakness to psychopaths. Which is the kind of 'survival of the fittest' EVE seems to encourage.
In the wild, where natural selection actually occurs, you don't see animals pretending to be friends in order to kill eachother. It's a uniquely human evil, and has nothing to do with how strong you are or darwinism at all.
My Warmest Regards.

If being an ******* makes you richer then natural selection will pick up on it.
In other news: People under 21 are 17% more likely to be an *******.
There's no problem, anti-social behavior is rare because humans are social creatures we benefit from social interaction more than we would benefit from being *******s to each other.
True, but in the real world you'll gain no respect from society for having anti-social personality traits, whereas in EVE it's celebrated.
I'm not saying those people have no place in the game at all, just agreeing with the OP that it's a bit over-represented.
My Warmest Regards.
