It is called psychiatric therapy and is administrated by a psychiatrist. For everyone's sake, seek help!

I am surprised that they didn't just take you out in the back and put one in the back of your neck.

... it is ccp's game.They make the rules and set the boundries and anything wich falls under those rules/boundries is THE GAME.
... but the rest is and SHOULD be part of the game.It is what gives it it's charm.

So everyone that plays EVE should be good little fellows and not upset the herd? Wouldn't that get dull fast.

... so when someone rages ...

...
But seriously, if a game makes you "miserable" why do you play it?

... once you stand up to a bully. He/she/they usually back off because they realize you can't be pushed around anymore. Atleast not without a fight. And bullys are all the same, inperson or online.
...

Agreed it would take a lot of time to organize and execute. Are you going somewhere? Are you quiting EVE anytime soon? Time is on your side. Don't make the mistake alot of newer and some older players make, EVE is not an instant gratification game. Research your target, come up with a plan, practice the plan, then execute same. Plus, anything worthwhile in EVE will never come easy. You know that.

Yes, I often find when people are unable to match wits with someone they tend to personally attack them instead.
Kind of how Bullies behave. Well, bullies with low IQ.

This

EvE is only hardcore and unforgiving if you try to play it in a civil manner. If you use all the tools at your disposal, it becomes fairly easymode, but also immersion-breaking. You merely have to activate multiple accounts to invalidate sec status mechanics, grief and scam to your heart's content with disposable or seemingly innocuous characters.

All the more proof that gank- and griefbears do not play the game as a means in itself, but only to make people mad over the internet. They don't care about immersion, since they use both positive and negative characters, disposable ones, and the relations between those characters make no sense whatsoever except in a metagaming context.


Nobody claims moral high ground, rather, every EvE player with common sense is disturbed by the fact there's no tool to get back at players playing this metagame, since chain of accounts are not assessed ingame. For example, the market alt of a gankbear semi-afk gatecamper (who waits for the gate activation signal while running missions on his positive sec status alt) should be recognized as such, and there should be a possibility to hide his market activity, so players who have a problem with him could boycott his trade.


Also, this minority of players, who enjoy taking a crap in the sandbox, should at least admit they only enjoy flinging excrement at other kids and see them rage. Their metagaming is EvE easymode, so pretending it's a cold and harsh universe players log in is blatantly wrong.

If you are like the person in this video, you have allot of time. Thats a lot of work to try to get revenge for a merlin. And it is likely that most of the people who blew up your merlin are no longer even in the alliance by the time you get access to those assets. Hell most of the characters may have been sold to other people by that time.

Why people have taken issue with this:

Griefers aren't playing the game for the sake of the game.
They are using it to get at people in real life.
They want those people to respond with real emotions.
They are so pathetic that they resort to this in order to feel some significance and get some attention.

...
If you refuse to accept that, to some people, Eve is just a game the problem is entirely yours. How am I supposed to tell if a player has a mental illness in real life and why should it even enter into my mind while playing a video game? I always assume that everyone I play with is a rational human being.

It's Just a Game
Core Concept: Dissociative Imagination

By combining solipsistic introjection with the imagination, a feeling of escapism is produced GÇô a way to throw off mundane concerns to address a specific need without having to worry about consequences. According to Suler's[1] personal discussion with lawyer Emily Finch (a criminal lawyer studying identity theft in cyberspace), Finch's observation is that people may see cyberspace as a kind of game where the normal rules of everyday interaction don't apply to them. In this way, the user is able to dissociate their online persona from the offline reality, effectively enabling that person to don that persona or shed it whenever they wish simply by logging on or off.

Did you actually read that, or just think because the word game was mentioned, it was somehow related?

... a kind of game where the normal rules of everyday interaction don't apply to them. In this way, the user is able to dissociate their online persona from the offline reality ...

You're right, EVE is not a game. EVE is srs bsns.

... Why should you dictate how people should play? ...
