From what I have witnessed during my month long playing is that many people that play this game are socially inept to a large degree.

True, but in reality if that happened CCP would most likely cut off your nuts for touching the RMT loving new class of player.

Goodbye slaughter, hello.. kitty?



You've played what we're saying is the deepest and most involving game ever for a month and feel you have grounds to disagree? I played a year before i even got close to finding my perfect playstyle, and damnit i like it that way

I strongly disagree. I have also never found a playerbase like EvE's in other mmo's. All the other games i'v played for any length of time left me feeling a little old dispite my age. EvE has at least for me provided a trully memorable and unique experience with some of the finest folk it's been my pleasure to encounter.

Also there are d-bags, but really it's down to you to sift through the chaff for the really good parts just like real life. I also consider EvE to be the most expansive and deep mmos i'v ever played.

HiSec can be really fun for a short while, but it's easy. You don't have to be very smart (no offence intended) to get by in hisec. There are however parts of this game that REQUIRE an above average intelligence to play effectively. It stands to reason you will encounter a more interesting class of people there, even if all areas have their idiots.

Greener than a Christmas tree fresh off the farm, and you sound like as much an insufferable shithead as the Old Guard in the days of yore. Well, let me tell you a story kid: a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, a bunch of people who'd been playing this game for a long-ass while and thought they were pretty hot **** up in null sec got pissy about some upstarts in Rifters playing around in their sandbox. On principle, they decided they wanted to wipe these doe-eyed newcomers out of existence and once and for all establish their sovereignty over 0.0. Do you know what happened to this Old Guard? They got their teeth kicked in by days-old players 90% of whom could only fly frigates, said players then going on to topple some of the most well-established and powerful corporations and alliances in EVE. As for those newbies, the kindred and progenitors of those unwashed knuckle-dragging scum you seem to hold in so much contempt, they went on to become the single corporation, then alliance, to have the greatest the course of this game's history.

I am, of course, referring to Goonswarm. From a bunch of new bees recruited on Something Awful in Goonfleet, then Goonswarm and the Red Swarm Federation, then Goonwaffe and SOLODRAKBANSOLODRAKBANSOLODRAK, then Goonswarm again and the Clusterfuck Coalition-their entire history, nay, legend, runs contrary to such elitist snobbery.

Is EVE likely to go FTP soon? Not likely, especially with the moratorium on AURUM and 70$ monocles. But if it were, I'd say bring it on. This game lives and thrives on fresh blood.

edit: Words of wisdom.

wait....Dust and as mature as EVE.

Are we talking about the same Dust514?

Ever since it went Open beta (so not only EVE players), have you heard comms and seen local...

Sadly i have seen how Dust players talk in local. Im sure that a lot of them are EVE players who are messing around, but some of it is just stupid and embaressing to watch/read and makes me really wish there was some way to block Dust players as a whole from local.

Are there immature people in EVE? Ofc there is! But in general you will find that if you are polite to the player(s) in question they will be polite back. Trying to be a smart ass and/or a know it all are most likely two of the best ways to make sure an EVE player will dislike you/loose respect for you in general. Avoid this and in most cases you will find that its a very nice community to be a part of.

Cane has never said that before to my knowledge :D

Tbh i'm surprised his face didnt crack open just thinking something so soft.

I find this incredulous TBH. The D'baggery that goes on in this game is the worse I have seen anywhere! Children behave better than most eve players. From what I have witnessed during my month long playing is that many people that play this game are socially inept to a large degree. They associate anonymity with the right to behave like scrubs.
