TL;DR

Wall of words.

no one cares... about what you think

Didnt read cause it was long and I dont like reading

All of these problems you've mentioned have solutions. Considering the players that are doing this have often outlined exactly what and how they're doing so others can follow in their footsteps, working out and implimenting a defense shouldn't be too difficult.

If you do not like EVE, do not play EVE. I am a miner/mission runner. I do not fight other players except in time of war. That is my gameplay choice. I am aware that the choice of gameplay of some others in this game is to try to annoy people like me. So be it. I will say that they annoy me far less than some one who comes to the forums and cries because not everyone plays the game the way he or she likes the game to be played. I do believe CCP intended for the players to pretty much make the game what they want. They do adress petitions about game play. I think the game is great. When I do mine I do it in a ship I can afford to lose, aligned to either a station or a gate, I keep on eye an the local chat, watch for non-mining ships in my belt, and above all do not cry tears when someone is successful in their chosen type of gameplay. If I just wanted to mine in peace and fear nothing I could find a single player game and play that. I play EVE because of the danger of people trying to kill me. without the pirates, gankers, and bumpers the game would be stale. So, I respectfully disagree with your wall of words, fly safe.

Why do you make me read things?

I wasn't expecting too much in the way of coherent replies. I already know what class of players you are based on how you respond here.

You don't disappoint.

Well, we kind of go like that when we read some emo teen wall of text. Go figure...

Such is the Eve Online forums.

In my 12 years of gaming, I've never seen such a collection of interweb tough guys and asshattery that graces these boards on a daily basis. It's to be expected of most gaming forums, particularly in the PvP sections, but Eve takes it to a whole new level. At least for other games, the forums are somewhat of a resource and a gathering of community. Here, not so much.

As far as I've seen anyway, there's very little to be gained by posting anything of significance on these boards.

EvE is not a game that's boxed up, handed to you and you get told "this is it, like it or lump it". You can go away for a year, come back, and the game is totally different. You're argument of "if you don't like it don't play" makes no sense, as I can like it fine one day, and the next they can screw up something so bad that something becomes impossible to do, like when most missions had "all room aggro", then they introduce tons more content and it becomes fun again.

I don't want space safer, I want mechanics that don't allow cheap tactics to be all effective. EvE currently does not provide enough Intel to players. We cant tell who is just outside our station without undocking, we can't tell our ship is being scanned even thought we just had an energy beam powerful enough to penetrate shields and bounce off every item in our cargohold, we cant kick people out of corps because "they are not docked", the ability to bump a freighter with a frigate at a gate until the "hit squad" can execute a log-in gate gank so they can stay hidden ... the list goes on.

Stale mechanics from a PvP only game, and CCP is trying to lure more players to play it as an MMO. And you think everything is fine?

And I will state once again, for the record, that the normal point of a forum is to at least say something constructive.

"Oh no, too long didnt read" or "even the TL;DR was too long" ... mmm, not constructive. Save your breath, move along then maybe?

Did you actually have something interesting to add to the conversation or were you driving through? Is reading 3 lines really so much effort? You could have written "I don't agree" and at least It would have been taking a position.

Not true...

The forums is a valuable source of war decs for me which your corp will be part of soon. I will then display my asshattery in game.

I can say the same about that statement, which begs the question as to why you would bother even saying so, unless you thought it would annoy me, which bring me back to my post anyway.

Leved to see that some topics you started were locked. Congrats on your ability to communicate.

By the way, you posted this line "I should be able to rant about whatever i ******* feel like... esp if its true", so yea, think before you open your mouth.

I wasnt expecting 4 page replies on why I was wrong, I was also hoping not to get the usual one liners. EvE has incredible amounts of potential, but it seems to be stagnating around a very small pool of possibilities.

..........but you all seem to want a universe full of blood thirsty, crazed killers that gank anything they see, and where so many players avoid the markets and courier missions because more often then not they are traps. That's not a sandbox MMO universe, that's Pirates Online.
