Chihiro Chugakusei Traveler's accomodation 3	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:27:00 - [1] - Quote I've posted on these forums a few times over the years, and I've never encountered anything but hostility, negativity, insults, etc. What the fk is up with this?
Victor Andall Complexes and Abaddons 150	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:32:00 - [2] - Quote BECAUSE YOUR FACE! I often wonder the same thing. It's probably a result of the HTFU attitude predominant in EVE. You spend so much time being hostile, preachy or distrustful in game that it carries over to the forums. I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do? Andall Combat Tournaments - on hiatus. Contact for more information.
Kaarous Aldurald ROC Deep Space The ROC 2647	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:36:00 - [3] - Quote Because people are in general, rabbits. They tend to like to cluster up into like minded groups. A while ago, a particular group decided that they didn't want the playstyle of another group to exist anymore. So they began a forum campaign to effect change to have the offending playstyle nerfed. And it happened. It keeps on happening. And people noticed that, they noticed that CCP caved to forum whining and set the precedent that they will do it again (and they recently have). Hence the hostility. Because if you're making a "suggestion", it's damn near a guarantee that it's a nerf to someone else's playstyle. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á
Victor Andall Complexes and Abaddons 151	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:39:00 - [4] - Quote Plus, let's not forget that people with negative opinions always tend to be much more vocal than others that prefer to just tacitly agree. I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do? Andall Combat Tournaments - on hiatus. Contact for more information.
Chihiro Chugakusei Traveler's accomodation 3	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:40:00 - [5] - Quote Thats all true. Thanks for the information and sympathy. I will try and bear with it in the future.
Agondray Avenger Mercenaries VOID Intergalactic Forces 34	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:42:00 - [6] - Quote It's called talking crap in real life is dangerous, while here people can hide behind their toon and be tough with out having the possibility of repercussions
Salvos Rhoska Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 34	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:45:00 - [7] - Quote Kaarous Aldurald wrote: Because people are in general, rabbits. Yeah. Rabbits are extremely hateful, negative and hostile creatures.

Same. But what can you expect in a cold, dark universe? Tbf other gaming forums are just as bad, and don't even get me started on shitbook - forums just represent the gobby minority. You have to look carefully past the attitude and judge the argument and tone more here, and is that really a bad thing? I try to be nice on the forums but am a gleeful monster IRL and ingame btw. It's amusing how the reverse is true for the majority -

Kaarous Aldurald ROC Deep Space The ROC 2649	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:48:00 - [10] - Quote Salvos Rhoska wrote: Kaarous Aldurald wrote: Because people are in general, rabbits. Yeah.

They said they never had issues with their dog getting the chickens, but that if a chicken got into the rabbit pen on accident, the rabbits would kill it. Heck, they'd kill their own young sometimes, who the hell knew why. Fluffy bunnies and cuddle-ness is a particular conceit of the mass marketing culture.

I've been vocal in many gaming communities, but have never have I felt so hated as I do on these forums. In GD, people start a lot of stupid threads about stupid crap. I personally feel obligated to advise them on just how stupid their crap is. In the other forums, you won't see as much of this kind of response. Mostly, because people starting threads in other forums are posting more intelligently. While not every post in every other forum is a sparkling example of good posting, the ratio of good posts to bad is much greater elsewhere than it is here.

Mixu Paatelainen Brutal Deluxe. 81	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:51:00 - [13] - Quote Squeaky wheel gets the grease. This forum's no worse than others.
Marsha Mallow 63	Posted - 2014.02.23 19:53:00 - [14] - Quote Chihiro Chugakusei wrote: I'll try and do like you say. Don't take it personally, it's just a game. Also mentally visualise whoever you are speaking to as an impotent naked "small person" furiously keyboard mashing and covering their monitor with saliva. Mental imagery ftw! -

I've been vocal in many gaming communities, but have never have I felt so hated as I do on these forums. Amusingly, you revert to profanity in asking your question about why the forum is a hostile, negative place filled with insults.

Anhenka Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 169	Posted - 2014.02.23 20:02:00 - [18] - Quote F&I is awful, but that's largely because people spew out the same terribly bad, poorly thought out ideas on a regular basis, without even searching to see how many other threads filled with "Why this is bad and you are bad for not searching" there have been before. And poor planning, poorly thought out ideas endlessly repeated are deserving of at least a moderate degree of caustic scorn. For example, I just got done posting a reply to a F&I thread proposing a massive sov overhaul, posted by someone who was unaware that SOV requirements were no longer tied to POS's. So if F&I seems like it's filled with angry people shooting down ideas left and right, remember that it's typically like that for good reasons.

Heck, they'd kill their own young sometimes, who the hell knew why. Fluffy bunnies and cuddle-ness is a particular conceit of the mass marketing culture. Rabbits are some of the most xenophobic creatures on the planet. Well attacking the dog would be potentially suicidal. And Im sure a rabbit gets the same treatment if it errs into the hen house, and at the least a swift pecking from the rooster.
Erotica 1 Krypteia Operations CODE. 3795	Posted - 2014.02.23 20:34:00 - [20] - Quote Threads like this cause troll rage. If you feed the trolls, they just breed like rabbits and multiply. Thanks a lot, OP. You've just continued the cycle. I hope you're happy now. See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

I've been vocal in many gaming communities, but have never have I felt so hated as I do on these forums. Sometimes people here can be nice. But my experience is that negativity begets negativity. 1 Kings 12:11

You can't have a game that appeals to the lowest types of humanity, and expect anything but what you normally get. "Self help is all in your head"

Bedwyr McNobbler Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 6	Posted - 2014.02.23 22:58:00 - [29] - Quote Because being a douchebag is a valid playstyle in EvE and actively encouraged by CCP, the forums therefore represent the game quite effectively. I even came across a mission series highlighting the different douchebag (and the mission giver used that term) tactics. Just remember that these forums allow idiots to act out their internet-hardman fantasies that if they tried in real life would land them in their local A+E in very short order.
Silvara Nocturn Nocturn Industries 53	Posted - 2014.02.23 23:03:00 - [30] - Quote Everything constructive has already been said a thousand times, so your left with snark and trolling. fresh and exciting topics are very rare.
