Does one's EVE persona reflect who and what people are in real life despite all their denials? A new study claims that playing the villain makes you a bad person in real life: ' Gamers that adopted villainous Voldemort as an avatar, were more likely to dish out a punishment in the experiment .
'University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers found that people who played games as a heroic character were more likely to reward others.
'They warned that how gamers represent themselves in the virtual world of video games may affect how they behave toward others in the real world.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2555752/Playing-villain-video-games-makes-MEAN-Avatar-role-play-replicated-real-world-claims-study.html#ixzz2svavZ1lj
I went back and read the whole thing, the only conclusion I can come to is that Walking in Stations aka avatar play is a bad idea..... Spaceships are neutral.

I have not experienced that personally nor seen any examples of it. I was referencing the obvious snark, which I find highly amusing. |

I still don't got an axe even tho I visit our local tool shop in regular intervals. Also, sometimes when I stand in front of the shelf with the axes, people look at me warily when they think I won't notice it. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I disagree with this "Connection."
Proper studies show that right around the age of 4, almost all normal humans clearly know the difference between games and movies and the like, and the real world. Give your fellow human beings some credit.
Just one of many examples of real studies done that actually show a slight calming effect from playing "the bad guy" in a game.

Also, you would think that since more and more people actually play video games as the last 40 years have passed us by, we'd see MORE violence from children exposed to playing the bad guy in games, right? Nope.

I'm quite nice in EVE - to a point. If I don't know you, we are in low/null, and I think you might be a threat or you are a high value target or even if I am just bored - if I think I can win, I am going to shoot you down, pod you, and then probably giggle about it later. If you cry in local, I am going to make fun of you (tastefully, of course.)
In the real world; I am very polite. I'd never knowingly do harm to a stranger, even if it came with personal gain for myself. I'm 35. Been playing video games since I was 7. :P |

As a thinking, reasoning adult, I am fully capable of separating my actions in game from my real life behavior. Any well adjusted, reasonable individual is capable of the same.
I've never blown apart anyone's car with a rocket launcher, and taken their corpse home with me to add to my collection. I've never sat at the street corner trying to sell people a fake Rolex. I've never hunted someone through a populated urban area to kill them in front of Wall Street.

Having totally enjoyed minerbumping.com (for real, a hour reading your site had me laughing so hard it hurt) - I can second this one.
I've never seen a CODE agent be anything but polite and friendly when talking to others in the world of EVE - after blowing up their ships, of course.
But OMG - the level of psychopathic rage spewed by the people playing the "good guys" - people who never leave high sec, who have never dreamed of shooting at another player - they are the ones you really need to worry about. |

Of course, the spanner in any discussion, is what is acting as a "villain" in a setting such as EvE. In a game about spaceship combat, can shooting a spaceship really be considered "evil" play. If you then adjust the centre of what is considered "normal", doesn't that then alter everything in relation? It's not just "lack of repercussion", its a fundamental shift of what is "default behavoir". Are you saying everyone who shoots a ship is a potential murderer? That strikes me as saying everyone who knocks down bowling pins is a budding vandal, or everyone who plays cricket (or baseball for those across the water) is a violent thug who might be about to smash someones head in with a plank of wood.
A bit daft, don't you think?. |

Incidentally OP, we often see people claiming to be normal and well adjusted, and yet they spend almost all of their play time in EVE sitting off by themselves, engaged in mindless solo activity such as mining or missioning, and claim constantly to just want to be left alone by everyone. According to the Daily Mail, these people must therefore be the epitome of antisocial, garbage hoarding twats IRL, no?

We might be sociopaths but I think OP and other carebears suffer from avoidant personality disorder.
Quote:Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD), also known as anxious personality disorder, is a Cluster C personality disorder recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders handbook as afflicting persons when they display a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation, and avoidance of social interaction.
OP we're all here for you, but we all think you should go see a therapist ASAP. We don't know how you act out of game for sure, but based on in-game behavior, you definitely have a mental problem.

I've gone full villain and gone full hero in numerous games, does that make me a "meh" person? Or perhaps I have a split personality? Or just maybe I'm preemptively building my defense for a future trial insanity plea?
Anyway, I play eve atm as a crazed, religious zealot. Yet in real life I'm an atheist. There may be something tenable to the study, but it's by no means conclusive. |

Actually, that's interesting.
