EVE is dying, EVE is failing, blah blah blah.
Want EVE to continue to grow? Do your part.
Stop looking to CCP to do this or that. You bittervets especially. You're always harping about how this is a Sandbox...so that means that the success of this game is in our hands (for the most part...let's be realistic here...CCP CAN destroy it themselves).
If EVE fails these Elitist, rude, snobbish Bittervets can blame themselves for part of it. Say what you will, but people play this game to have fun. If I'm bombarded with snipe after snips, insult after insult and rude jackass after rude jackass, I will not want to pay for this game as a brand new player. It's that simple.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all game for sarcasm, pranks and douchebaggery in the name of fun but some folks take pride in their ability to verbally assault people simply for asking questions in an attempt to learn the game. Ironically these same jerks tend to be the ones who jump on noobs for making dumb decisions instead of asking questions and doing research.
"Ah stop whining if they can't handle it, then they should leave, we don't need them".
CCP stops making money then CCP stops EVE. Simple. It's in your best interest to help EVE grow. It's basic math and common sense.
Bottom line is normal people do not like dealing with D-bags on a regular basis, let alone have to pay to deal with them. I understand some of you are socially ******** and your "rebel without a cause, anti-social, life sucks then you die, trolololol" perspectives are all that you have. You figure since you can't make friends, being disliked is better than being ignored. I get that. But you are destroying EVE. That one noob you just spazzed out on in local for asking a question? Not only will he leave if that behavior continues but you lose the chance of him talking to his friends and getting them into the game as well.
That 2 week old miner you just ganked and smack talked to? He's probably gone too.
Kee acting like "it doesn't matter, screw them". I guarantee you that CCP does not share your sentiments in regards to new players becoming fed up with the elitism and jackassery and leaving the game. Case and point?
Can baiting.
If CCP truly shared your views on "sink or swim, screw noobs, it's a ruthless EVE", why have they then put up several obstacles to you griefing them? Please explain that.
They don't. THEY see the value (literally) in new players staying. Now, I'm not talking about the folks who leave because they joined RvB and got blown up. Can't do anything about them. However most noobs (myself included) understand fully that this is a ruthless game, HOWEVER, the community can make or break a game for us. It's exactly why I left WoW. I was the guy who helped noobs. I was the level 80-85 that ran noobs through dungeons, helped them out with gold to get them started, helped fit them with guilds that fit their needs. It wasn't because I pitied them. It was because I loved the game and I understood that as an EXP player that TRULY loved the game, I had an obligation to help others see the beauty of the game. All of them asked if they could do anything for me. My response was always the same: Just promise to pass it along when you reach peak cap. Take your butt out there and help some noobs and help this game grow. That's it.
I guess I just want players to understand just how much they influence growth. Stop looking to CCP to change things for the better. There's a lot YOU can do RIGHT NOW to help secure the future of the game you supposedly love. AGAIN, this is NOT about handouts (I am very much expecting the "oh when I started we were alone and had to hike a mountain, chop down a tree and run 15 miles before we could even log in" crowd to show up. My response: whatever dude. Times change. The number one killer of empires, dynasties and kingdoms is the inability and unwillingness to embrace evolution and progression. Any history geek like myself can verify that. This isn't 2003. It's 2013. It is not the same EVE. It is not the same world.
TLDR: If you can't read this, then It's not geared to you anyway, for obvious reasons. If you can'ttake time to read a forum post then I sure as hell don't expect you to take the time to help anyone. |

Test is like Goons is like the Mafia. In the employment record, in for life and it's better to be knows as Test or Goons than to be known as ex Test or ex Goons so while you might be willing to go against the grwain, don't become a liability 
This is a game. I am my own man. I have a mind of my own. I cannot speak for the rest of TEST. I speak for myself.
I BELIEVE in helping new players. I BELIEVE in letting people play as they will. I BELIEVE everyone has their niche in the great game of ours. I BELIEVE that being in TEST makes me no better than anyone else.
You contribute as much as I do to this game Skydell. Perhaps more as you have been playing longer I assume.
If it's impossible for you to believe that there are HBC/CFC'ers that care about new people that's fine. All I can do is show my hand and let it play out. I truly care about this game and I believe new players are what keeps us going. I do not see them as a liability or a nuisance. I see them as people who sustain something I love. |

WE didn't win anything as I have only been in TEST for a bit over 1 month. I had nothing to do with the great achievements of TEST and Goonswarm. I hope to contribute what I can do their future, but I cannot take credit for what has been done.
I have spoken with many people in TEST and Goonswarm who truly love this game and want to see it grow. Perhap we disagree on how to make that happen, but the love for EVE is one thing we have in common. |

EI Digin wrote:CFC and the HBC have done more for new players than highsec ever will.
This is truly the real reason why highsec should be nerfed, highseccers just chase new players away with their misguided elitism. In highsec you're either in a pimped out marauder or T3, or you're in a hulk or mackinaw or you're worthless, whereas in nullsec t1 frigates and new players who are willing to take risks are actually useful and are rewarded by those who remember the difficulties they had as a new player.
When's the last time you sent someone who's been in the game for less than a month isk for helping you? Or are you too busy racking up the amount on your wallet screen to care?
This is the real reason why we hate you, because you're all sociopaths.
Well come on....there are many null sec corps/alliances with ridiculous SP reqs designed to shut out new players. We accept new players, then these elitists wonder why we grow. TEST and Goons are just examples that prove the hell out of my point: New players are good for growth. |

So why are you whining like a spoiled little brat about people being "elitist" (not even sure you know the meaning of the word by the way you use it) if you believe in letting people play as they will? Quote:I BELIEVE in letting people play as they will, as long as i agree with it There fixed it for you. P.S. EVE is doing fine, but thanks for worrying!
I'm not talking about playstyle. I am talking about attitude. "Elitists" don't PLAY a certain way. They interact with others a certain way.

Hope they kick you out ...
Edit:
I actually have something to contribute.
Today i've shot a 2.5 billion ISK pod.
He convo'd me.
He wondered how that was possible and i explained to him that highsec isn't safe. CONCORD won't rescue him in time. He understood that and accepted his mistake.
A few days ago i've shot a 200 million isk pod ... and that guy whined. Called me a **** and whatever. I tried to reason with him, that it was his own fault, that he is not safe in highsec. It's like driving a mercedes through the bronx and then blaming everybody else for taking advantage of his idiocy.
So there's one guy who understands the reality of the game and there's another who doesn't. There's one guy who understands what the game is *advertised for* and another who doesn't.
There is one guy ACCEPTING WHAT THIS GAME IS ABOUT and another who doesn't !
Now take a goooooooooood guess who we need to get rid of ..................
You? That'd be my guess.
Not because you podded them.
It's because I'm well aware of your posting history. You have got to be one of the most obnoxious and immature people I have ever encountered. You're probably a 95 pound ginger with zits, and you use these forums to verbally assault people in order to mask your inadequacies.

Fixed that for you  Seriously though,what exactly are you excpecting to come out of this? Also, it's your alliance that is responsible for a nice part of griefing new players in game and on the forums becoming so popular. Clean your own doorstep before pointing to dirt on the street. You know, leading by example and all that. I'm sure you will have a lot of success with that in your alliance.
As I'm sure any sensible person would understand, I cannot control others. I can only control myself. You'd be hard pressed to find any nullsec alliance that doesn't have some griefer in it. The best I can do is hold myself to my standards. |

Well maybe if you guys didnt set your alliance up to have a "us(reddit) vs them (everyone who isnt from SA or reddit)" attitude then you wouldn't have this issue.
Quit eve, you're a part of the ******* problem that you're complaining about OP.
The only corp in Test that requires Reddit account is Dreddit.
I have been an active voice for inclusion for a long time in EVE and other MMOs. I am against shunning new people. I didn't like it when it was done to me, and I don't want it done to others. |

Well then keep up with your tone in your community. Here, you're trolling. (or think you're trolling)
I am not trolling. That is why I am posting on my main character. It's because I quite frankly couldn't give a crap what people think about me speaking my mind. TEST, Goons Or anyone else. I am not anyone's flunkie. I believe what I believe. I have no reason troll in regards to new players. I take this very seriously. Again, because I truly love this game. |

EI Digin wrote:Take note newbies.
"Old", "hardened", and "veteran" players (who hide behind NPCs in highsec) want to see you be trolled, griefed, and ultimately quit the game. They want to see the large groups of new players in TEST and Goonswarm fight and dissolve so they can munch on them individually. They want to see nullsec nerfed drastically so that they can come and kill us at no risk to themselves.
But together in nullsec, we are strong because we can group up and fight the evildoers ourselves without having to worry about elite player only mechanics like "station games". And then they whine and moan about us making nullsec a "big blue donut" because there are no easy free kills for them anymore! And they cry about how nullsec is full of "botters" and "RMT". But deep down inside, we all know exactly what's going on.
She speaks truth....
If TEST and Goons are so hostile to new people, how come we have the largest pools of noobs out of any other alliance in game, apart from Ivy League of course?
How do you think we got so large? By scamming brand new players? By being snobby and telling new players to just figure it out and gtfo of our faces? No. TEST and Goons are the poster children for inclusion and patience. That's why people envy us. I speak as a new player myself, CCP owes HBC and CFC for my 3 accounts, I can tell you that with a straight face. I found some cool people to play with, patient and knowledgeable. THEY are the reason I stayed. |

A good player can adapt and use things to his advantage (tool usage, think outside the box, play an alt differently than his main).
A good pilot knows what he has and can only use those to his advantage.
One is not necessarily the other.
One of the biggest problems to the mindset of a good pilot versus a good player is the idea that you need to be an ass to be good or popular.
Makes you a bad player, even if you're a good pilot.
The best players are the ones who can act and play a game to be playing the game, not letting the game play them.
That's real talk bruh. Respect.

Although as a bittervet i dont want anything changed so much it screws me for all my hard earned years Hey, I've read sayings from your bitter vet fellah's claiming skill points mean nothing, so what's the advantage you guys don't really want to loose that makes so much fuss? If skill points advantage on an older toon means nothing then what the heck "advantage" are you talking about? You quote "advantage" and he never says the word at all...trolling 101 i guess loose - tight lose - win/find loose...lol He is referring to the amount of time he has put into the game in all areas. A noob can join, specialize, and be efficient in any number of ships. And be just as effective as the older players. Just not every ship. Bittervet is a term used by noobs that complain they can never catch up....this isn't true. They can catch up if they use remaps and keep an eye on their character...it will take time...but it is that time most of us have already put in.
No a "Bittervet" is someone who I see clearly doesn't enjoy the game anymore and/or have no real world relevance, so they seek to boost themselves by insulting and harrassing new players. Instead of taking that chance to help that person see the beauty of the game, they instead seek to make their gaming experience as miserable as possible. That is a "Bittervet" to me.
Example: Solstice Project. That guy is a Grade A, Elitist loser who says things like "Carebears are inferior to PVPers". With a straight face. People like that, I'd trade for 20 noobs anyday, they need to go. THEY destroy the game with that horrid attitude they have. I think what he REALLY needs is a girlfriend. I can't fkin stand that guy dude. He's like that kid in the back of the class making fart noises and throwing spitballs trying to get some sort of attention because he's used as a punching bag at home. |

How is that Test/Goon Scamming of new players going? Did Hulkageddon work out favorably for your corp? How many noobs did your corp destroy in the burn Jita event? Is your corp the botter corp? Or are you in a corp that just benefits from it? I'll bet new players would stay longer over some guy complaining than one of the above events. If you are legit, start on your own alliance first. Spread through your blues...then feel free to whine more about elitists and the like. Irony = Test/Goons coming in and telling others about morals....
Why would anyone scam a noob??? They have nothing to take. ANY scammers I know in nullsec don't even talk to you unless they see you have at least 2-3 bill dude...
I could copy and paste a link to our forums where HBC are told specifically to NOT scam new players, as they are our bread and butter. I personally wouldn't bother with an Alliance that scammed New players or even returning players for that matter as, again, I take the issue of EVE's growth VERY seriously. I CANNOT control what someone else does dude. You will find scammers in EVERY SINGLE alliance in EVE, excluding Ivy League. That's a FACT< whether it's permitted or not, it's happening in some form.
I can also tell you first hand that TEST does NOT allow botting in any shape or form. Thousands of people in TEST, don't you think someone would snitch??? Montolio crawled up my ass personally once for admitting to AFK mining, so I know damned well he won't stand for botters in his alliance as that **** could get us shut down completely. Years of hard work for some easy isk when we already make tons from our LEGIT sources??? Nah dude...stop reading EN24.

Are you trying to imply that it's the game's fault for not telling you that you could be podded for leaving your house, akin to the kid who ran out being the fault of the parents for not keeping their child indoors? I don't understand this analogy.
It's up to the player to know how to play. Period. Whether you are prudent with your research (read forums etc) or want to take a chance diving right in and learning from your mistakes (which your example of you getting podded by a WT shows).
Keep in mind, being podded whether you are a vet or a rookie bears no hit on any reputation, nor is it really "bad". Running over a child however, is. I think that depends on who you ask. Also, no, that's what I'm saying at all. You'll either read everything I wrote in this forum for proper context, or you won't. I did, and responded as well as answered. "Context" is left to be guessed at since it was passive aggressive at best. If you aren't concise and leave things to the imagination, the imagination will get used. . |

He's basicly the greeter for lowsec, I mean c'mon... compared to the usual gateganker he's a content providing saint.  Survival of the fittest isn't elitist, though I do agree on lots of your points touching on people's attitude towards newbies. But make no mistake, the newb isn't that helpless. When I started EvE I fully understood what I was getting into, and a game with this many players is bound to have a few douchebags with sheeple following them in droves. It's not being shot down by a pirate that's the problem. It's being barked at afterwards by some idiot KM-addicted CEO who worries about his rep up the Alliance chain. Or whatever. People being idiots, not pirates being pirates. I agree we are responsible ourselves to walk away, player rentition is something we all have an effect on, like it or not. I'm glad you found something that inspired you to rant this hard though. Considering you also asked about SB's in another topic you must have plans. 
I'm sure the guy is a skilled PVPer. I'm sure he contributes much to the game. However the guys social skills suck hard.
Thinking you're better than "carebears" when without them your ass wouldn't have ships to fly? Lame.
This us vs them crap is lame. Everyone contributes in some way to this game, be it the blobbers, carebears, gankers, scammers, etc. They all have their niche. I think it more constructive to respect each niche and it's importance to the survival of EVE than to chest thump and bash others who play differently than myself.
BERP WERP DERP, I'MZ BETTER DAN YOO BEECUZ I PEE VEE PEE AND YOO DUNZ!!!!
When, if everyone in EVE simply PVPed...well...EVE wouldn't be sustainable. SOMEONE has to mine. SOMEONE has to Manufacture. That's why I think his perspective is completely stupid and illogical and bad for the game. |

I just want to shoot you really. I'll find you one day, during your usual routine of ganking rookie ships on autopilot through lowsec, and kill you. Then I'll take a screenshot of your corpse and put it up on our forums and send another to EN24 and Mittani.
