Hrm... The thought of Star Citizen makes me want to rub my nipples. I am a hater. I hate the EVE community. Sure the Star Citizen community is full of happy saps throwing money at a developer and donating food and other goods to them like no tomorrow. Its somewhat sickening. But its a small price to pay to see everyone in EVE get told "I told you so" when it actually comes out.

I think the problem with EVE is that its primarily filled with sociopaths and people who don't know any better.

The thing is the sociopaths don't do anything of intrinsic value like mine and make things. The prefer to just ruin people's days.

My hope is that the people who don't know any better get tired of the abuse and see Star Citizen's campy lovable community and go there leaving EVE's with just the sociopaths. Unwillingly to mine and build their own ships eventually the game will be ruined for them.

Of course I could be wrong, but I like fantasizing about these things.

Goons have thrown over a quarter of a million US dollars at Star Citizen so far, including one who put 11k in himself.

I hope you do.

Least before you read up on how PVP mechanics work in Star Citizen.

Sorry I am a hater. I met some great people in EVE, just not on the forums. I still hang out with them. Half of them have quit EVE and others only play it only now and again.

Its not really a sad existence being a hater because its rather entertaining. I was bored waiting for beta 3 in ED (so haven't been playing it since they are going to do another player wipe on October 28th. I might go explore for some potential mining sites since they are going to introduce mining then) and CCP offered me 10 free days so I thought to entertain myself on the EVE forums. You'll see me about once per year. I might even use one of my stored plexes to tell everyone how great Elite Dangerous is when they release it. Anyways, its good to see faces still dedicated to the forum wars. I think that is more entertaining than EVE ever was. Thanks for being entertaining. If no one replied to me then it was a wasted post.

The nice thing about ED is that once you buy it, you don't have to play it if you don't want to. Whereas EVE requires a good deal of effort to play for free and I don't think its worth $100 some dollars a year. Not in the age of F2P.

See, games don't have be better than EVE, they have to be good enough and free.

Anyways, my point is that I don't know about Star Citizen. Its mostly an arena and racing game now rather than an open world. Elite Dangerous on the other hand is open world (sort of instanced though) and is more anarchaic than EVE was.

Hrm... I think I will make a post about Elite vs EVE later tonight after I get home from a diner party.

On an aside (get it), I have never been ganked other than faction warfare and that was expected. I have never been scammed (although I have given money away to a scammer to prove a point that they were a scammer, but I got it back strangely enough). So I am not really that jaded. However, the forums time and time again prove to be toxic.
