It's funny how you answered your Title question in your first post. EVE is further from WoW, for the exact reason above that you try to claim they are the same.

In EVE, you have REAL loss, and REAL consequences to your actions. In Wow you can make a "mistake" and find a relatively easy way to fix it. In EVE those mistakes can really hurt.

EvE is only like WoW if you want it to be like WoW. Those who don't want it to be like WoW make sure it isn't. They're usually called 'pirates' and 'PvP'ers'. Enjoy!

Oh...and why is it that when it comes to finding the tags I need, all but the ones I need drop?! I find all manner of tags I don't need. Don't need Fed tags - they drop by the bushel. Don't need Blood tags...not a problem...run a few missions and you have hundreds filling your cargo hold.

The highlighted/italicized text may be part of your problem.

If you are searching for tags by killing the people you are trying to gain standing with, the result will be less than satisfactory.

Fed tags were dropped by NPC's that were part of the mission(that I didn't even kill,other NPC's killed them). It was a Serpentis mission.

Excuse me...I was just a peaceful miner, until CCP forced me to start doing other things. Like running missions, exploration, killing other players...I had no ideal that this games racial factions actually mattered because I was always told that in high-sec you can go anywhere and the only thing you need to worry about is can flippers and the occasional wannabe ganker- because I was a miner. I didn't do anything to harm my rating.

Until just recently. I decided to join corp mates running missions.

BTW this has nothing to do with what you went on about....I am talking about fixing my rating. There should be a reasonable way to fix it. EVEN IN WOW - there is a way to fix your ratings that isn't masochistic.

Not in EVE!

Nonsense

Well said.

That's what the OP boils down to: asking CCP to give him an easier way to fix HIS mistake, just like most games (like WoW) does.

It's here that you notice the start difference in the reasons play games. Some of us play for the challenge and don't want a game to do everything for us. Others play to artificially boost their egos (to get away from the fail that is their real lives lol), and most game makes aid and abet such players by making them "THE HERO" in damn near every game that isn't EVE.

Hero's shouldn't be held responsible for their mistakes, the game should give magical powers of "fixing it" so that they can finish being the hero in enough time for them to make it to class at DeVry Institute......

Which has more players than both EVE and WOW combined! I demand we make EVE more like Candy Crush! If we're really serious about the game, CCP has to acknowledge that their business model is wrong in comparison to Candy Crush!

...

Psst, guess who I was imitating? :P

Eve does not have pandas.

And if it did get pandas, we would get a chance to shoot them.

WoW holds your hand from 1-90, and makes sure you get a cookie regardless if you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place.

I know. I never get an answer either. Usually just misdirection, an abrupt change of subject, or an ad hominem.

But I keep trying. Hope is a virtue, even when it chances to be misplaced.

Look, Jenn, your over the top fanboism is a trolling act of all time, but please don't claim to know something from a game you don't play.

That's called hypocrisy.

Since people have already given answers on how to fix faction standings, I'll leave this explanation of the difference between WoW and EVE.

The SOE arc is normally suggested by an agent at the end of the tutorials, which is why I assumed (DOH!) that people knew about it.

Over the top fanboism is constantly posting in the EVE forums about how awesome WoW is.

Sure...I can waste millions on buying tags - that is not the issue. The issue is I should have a reasonable alternative...not a sadistic, twisted, one....a reasonable one. That is not the case. You try and go collect the required tags needed for the Data Center missions and tell me it is reasonable.

As a CCP carebear fanboi I do believe eve came out first before wow, and had missions. So if anything blizzard copied CCP.

...it's so different because on the WoW forums I would have been banned a long time ago for calling you people assholes, pussies and brainless doucebags?

WoW is a web version of the Warcraft series (I vanilla / II TBC / III WotLK) that came before even Ultima came online (the first MMO). When folks say it's old, it's old.

Only older MMO with pre-1996 internet presence would be DDO, with it's ties with D&D (now that's older than dirt, where the RPG all began).
