I would have given the original poster some respect if when i looked at his last posts there were posts asking for help in getting the game stable on his PC and advice on the control system and game play in general.
I would even have restrained from flaming at him if the post simply asked how to cancel his subscription.
But no, his first and only post basically amounts to slating the game and asking how to get his money back with little or no effort put into the problems he has with it.
Anyone who goes to the trouble of posting this without first seeking help on the problems that got them to think that way has got to expect a jolly good flaming, and loses any respect in my view. And I'm highly dubious as to whether that was not his original intention anyway.
It's fuel to the fire just as if I went to another games forum and stated that i thought the controls were rubbish, games crashes my PC and I want my money back.
Instead this thread has just turned into a flaming match at each other - again, while the original poster has long since left us to it. That it what is a bit sad.

Actually, he just posted this morning. So...
It's not like there isn't a new players forum right at the top of the forum list, where he could have asked his questions without being flamed (if only because no-one but mods ever reads anything on that forum). ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun! |

Edited by: Gevronder on 02/04/2005 15:57:29 OMG give the dude a break. I spent my first hour in this game trying to find the options to enable the joystick and keyboard controls. I was extremely disappointed to say the least when I discovered I had just subscribed to a point and clickly. I felt conned, I was expecting multi-player Elite with real piloting skills not sim-city in space. I went straight back to playing Everquest for a number of months. If it had crashed continously into the bargain I would have been even more narked off. I don't blame him for ranting TBH. I bet he feels all warm and cosy inside with the welcome you all gave him to.

Yeah, the biggest problem with this game is that people don't give it a chance.
I only stayed through the initial grind because I needed a game to wind me down at night.. it's just not very engaging at first. The things that stand out are the worst parts of eve, travel time, waiting, mining.. you know, the boring stuff.
I know people that would love the game but I can't get them to give it a chance.. i doubt there's anything ccp can do to fix this either, game requires a decent attention span, a bit of patience and appreciation of the complexity. Most younger people find these things 'boring', not engaging like most of us do.
compare the age of players in this game to the age in other games. I cannot believe I play alongside 30 year old people.. I had a corpmate tel lme one of his alts use to belong to his son.. his SON? That's not typical for a computer game.
Even the immature *******s in the game are much better then the normal player in any other MMORPG. Trash talking m0o? I would have paid to find a group of people as civilized as them in anything else.. i'm not joking either
it's a shame though. at 21 I often feel young and immature myself when talking to other people. it's nice for once not feeling like i'm too old for a game though, heh. ________

Yeah, this game is for oldies. The only reason I play it is because I'm really anal and like attention to detail, so spending hours (no, literally hours) choosing my ship setup really appeals to me.
But I don't like older corp mates, if only because they're usually a lot better than me. They can be bothered to sit around mining so they have hundreds of ISK whereas I have none, and they all have learning skills so they have SP through the roof. Stupid old people, hope they get arthritis... *mutters* ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun! |

not old. I hope I didn't sound rude, I didn't mean to.
I'm just saying. I went from oldest in the group to one of the youngest. It just feels weird ________

Oh my!, I didnt expect this thread to last long, but guess I was wrong...What do all you people care if he leaves the game or not? Do something useful ffs, instead of flaming. _______________________________________________

it's not that deep, we're just having some fun.
We rule because we play eve.. if you don't play eve, you are inferior
believe it, it's true.. we must use this thread to reinforce our beliefs
