you're supposed to hate on random stuff on the internet

If you can fight out of your league in manpower no one will have a bad word to say about you.

Does anyone have a well formed, well argumented reason to hate

Does anyone have a well formed, well argumented reason to hate one career path or the other? Or is it just the inherent douchery of man showing on the internet, considering one cannot get punched in the face for what they say here.

This is pretty much it right here.

And it's not just EVE. It's all forums, everywhere, on every kind of site, on absolutely every subject.

And site after site recently, even Scientific American, are just getting rid of Forums and comments utterly.

The dreck just is not worth reading, and most folks are tired of the dis-ingenuous dialogue. It's old and boring.

Humanity survived for millenia without the help of instant communication reactions from the entire populace, and it will most indeed continue to function just fine without it.

Really, it will.

So something I've always wondered, where does this sense of elitism come from some players have? I've seen it cause more than 1, 2, 3, 500, 16000 seemingly random and 100% unconstructive posts here on the forum, ranging from that carebears are a leech that needs to be burned off all the way to anyone who engages in piracy should have their accounts banned.

Some are atleast sort of understandable (I can admit a carebear being a bit ticked off that his brand new deadspace fitted Machariel just got blown up by some random guy who wanted a nice killmail). But why are (some) low and nullbears always screaming carebears ruin the game, even though they provide the cheap minerals so that they can get their PVP ships nice and cheap.

Where do industrialists stand in all this? What do miners think of missioneers and why? Which group is the least hated in all of new eden? Which acts are sure to get you hated (random PoS bashing maybe? Perhaps random wormhole ganking? Or just stealing a required mission item? What about freighter bumping?) and which are sure to get you loved?

By all means tell the community what group(s) you belong to, which group(s) you like and why, which group(s) you are neutral to and why, and which group(s) make you wish you could just fly a CONCORD battleship for a day and kill them all?

I don't particularly care what you or anyone else decides to do with their time in this game. Don't, however, expect me not to shoot at you whenever the opportunity arises.

I don't think you can say fairer than that.

The fallacy is usually right at the beginning. You are asking for a logical explanation for something inherently illogical like emotion. Why don't you ask people to figure out how much love weighs while you're at it.

EVE is a reflection of the human condition, because as a sandbox EVE is merely a reflection of the humans within it. Once you understand this, then it will all make sense (or account for why it fails to make sense).

Speaking for myself, a hisec merc, pirate and general naer-do-well..I hate petition carebears, not every carebear.

Let me explain. The carebear who does his thing and adds to the community is welcome to do so. The carebear who occasionally gets zapped and instead of raging or petitioning, instead asks 'how' and tries to learn from it, I embrace (and even recruit). The carebear who wallows in his stupidity and amplifies it by wailing on the forums, or worse petitions for nerfs, is an abomination that must be blasted from new eden.

Its not about carebear hate, its about what I call 'petition carebears' who push CCP to change EvE's core values over time to mitigate their stupidity and inability to learn. CCP hears their cries like an evil sirens song, and in hopes of increasing subscriptions are drawn to the nerfing dark side. We must bring them back into the light by bathing petition carebears in even more cleansing fire.

So basically, your hate is directed at people whom think the only way they could have possibly been destroyed is because of some exploit that needs to be fixed and refuse to take personal responsibility? Correct?

I mostly hate hypocrits. Low-sec PVPers whom claim to hate carebears(risk-aversed people) and thus decide to punish them by massganking defenseless mining barges. Because remember kids, nothing is a bigger sign of your willingness to take risks than attacking defenseless vessels.

Is a pirate no longer a viable career choice in EvE? Are we not human like you?

If you prick us, do we not bleed?

If your cry for nerfs wrong us, do we not revenge?

Oh no I'm fine with pirates. But don't hate carebears for not taking risks whilst you only attacking riskless targets yourself. (carebear here being distinctly different than a petitionbear). I have no problems with pirates, just with the ones that punish people for not taking risks by not taking risks.

As long as the pirates in question either don't hate carebears with a passion it's fine. Or if they also pick on targets they might lose against :P
