You have to remember you are not dealing with socially adjusted people when you get into the big uber gangs. Yes I am generalizing but for the most part let's just call it what it is. You can't run 5 alts in more than one MMO, be logged in 22/7 and expect us to believe there is a girl asleep in your bed and you own and run 3 businesses. What did you expect from people who get their jollies suicide ganking? Are you surprised you are not chilling with some cool hipster types? You're dealing with uber dorks that don't have the reflexes to play a FPS.
You are my hero. You just described the elite of the large alliances. Elite in eve, 30k a year person outside of eve.
Know what's hilarious?
These people (who are CLEARLY on unemployment or some other form of Government assistance) think it's funny that I'm a truck driver. They then call me "useless" because I'm not able to strap in for every single goddamned fleet that's posted on jabber, or the fact that I have less than 5 mill SP and no kills when I clearly told them I was in the process of training up SBs, EVEMON way not simply being able to sit in one. WTF is the point in me coming on a fleet with a bare minimum SB? What use would I be? Let alone the fact that about 60% of Test is inactive and/or alts. So my simply logging in a lone and training to be useful in the future is contributing.
I'm an owner operator. I own my own business and have 3 other trucks driving for me.
My gross last year was roughly $170,000.
Net was roughly $95,000. That's just my truck, not including my cut from the other drivers.
I'm not saying this to brag. I'm simply pointing out the humor in a bunch of underachievers IRL calling me useless because of my lack of pixel accolades.
If these people worked 40 hours per week, let alone the 80-90 I usually put in, they'd see how hard it is to be ultra-active when you're doing grown up things instead of eating hotpockets and playing EVE all damned day.
