My opinion on the subject of "carebears" is one of little attention, sympathy or consideration... I think that "carebears" should be seen and not heard, they should receive no attention or consideration from the developers of this great game, and the reason for that is simple...

The things that carebears disagree with/want to be changed in order to benefit their own doings within the game... these things are EVE... that is the game, the way it was intended to be...

I'm currently learning the game, and being all but 5 days old in the game I am by no means experienced.

I like to read the forum and blog posts about the game in general, I think EVE has an awesome community as a whole...

A subject I seem to be crossing time and time again - is the one of carebears vs their opposites....

The argument that the risk of being ganked and losing your assets is "unfair", or discourages new players to join the game, should not be as "brutal" as it is, etc etc...


When I read on this subject, I refer to EVE, the description of the game, and how it was designed.

It seems to me like the game has been designed to be this way, people can gank you, people can steal from you, people can scam you, people can do what ever they want to you... to me that is the game, that is how the game is designed and intended... that is EVE.

And that is why I downloaded the free trial a few days ago, and that is why on my second day in the game... I logged into my account management to enter my credit card details and pay for this amazing game.

People are subscribing to the game because it is a great game, "a sandbox risk/reward hardcore game in which you are never safe"... THAT is appealing, that is thrilling and that is fun... if you change that, and alter the description to "safe mining where you can mine asteroid belts and never be killed"... that is not appealing, that to me sounds boring and I would have never entered my credit card details and given my money to CCP if that was the case.


Just my opinion on the trending topic, thanks.

little lad, i am 28, i have been playing MMOS since i was 13 years old, i am a very hard core gamer, however, that post above tis is rubbish. My first week in eve i spent dieing non stop and learning the game.

you are a alt, trying to sway the pve players to the pvp *risk vs reward* nonsense

hush

I like to read the forum and blog posts about the game in general, I think EVE has an awesome community as a whole...

I can fix that if you'd like.

Nah, I'm too stricken with cute overload whenever I run into newbies. I'd probably just stalk you in a covert ops ship and occasionally throw ISK into your wallet.

The OP has things very turned around. It is not the high sec 'carebears' that want the mechanics of the game changed, its the big bad brave pvp'ers who are spamming the forums calling for a new order and the burning of high sec. You say play the game the way its made, well I agree, but you are talking to the wrong crowd.

Fake. Post with your Main.

Yeah. I don't know why people are so hell bent on converting Hi-Sec into Low Sec. You don't see people going on and on about making Null and Low carebear land do you?.

Personally I don't see any problems with scamming and ganking, but apparently people just want to kill people in Hi-Sec without Concord getting involved.

CCP isn't going to change the mechanics that massively affect a large portion of their player base (either way). They aren't going to bring Hi-Sec to Null or Low or vice versa.

People just need to stop making alts just to try convince CCP to do something they'll never do anyways.

A true Carebear will just quit, and complain to the company (CCP)....not to the very audience causing the "grief".

I agreed with the OP right up until the comment about Carebears not deserving any attention from the devs. I have stated this many times, stand by it and will state it again. The PvP element of EVE is in the minority and without the Carebears in HighSec, EVE would surely die

I didn't think this thread would provoke so many tears,

The best way to not see your post polluted by trolls and your work (writting a correctly built post with meaningful content) wasted by idiots is to never create a thread in "General Discussion". It's just troll-land. You'll get much better discussions in the other subforums. Yes EVE it's also that *sighs*

Everyone has a voice.

I'm not sure what you mean by this... maybe you didn't read my post properly? I haven't yet been ganked in the game, though I'm quite excited to experience it.

you are a alt

Just because you have a voice doesn't mean anyone should listen.

After all, pedophiles have voices too.

Giving yourself a little bit of an ego boost there I see
