I have found that folks i used to talk too that we now shoot cant keep the game in perspective. I think Molle did the best thing that he could have done to keep the game interesting and fun. Its fun to pvp and such well for me. I respect the folks in ascn and ts even though we shoot them. I guess someone who has seen real combat just doesnt take a game that seriously. Well we should enjoy a game that we play for leisure and keep the serious in RL. Thats my take on it. WOndering what other folks think?

Because EVE isnt a game for somepeople, it is a virtual reality that they escape to and pirate, wage war, build stuff, etc..

Hey Marine, long time no see m8 
Agreed of course, though I have to say, a little less ego tripping would make for a little less hostility in return. People talk a lot about 'respect' in these forums, but in my world, 'respect' begins with a bit of common courtesy.
But meh, really, I couldn't care less, personally I'm like you, I don't let it affect me much.

most people just tend to lose it with time wasters or general bs like that. most people who really get pi%&ed off, are those who have a limited time to play when they can.and can obviously get irate when that time is spent doing stuff they really dont enjoy doing.
course this being with eve. we all here and there gott do the crp we dont like doing to do the stuff we do like. give and take sitation. just one of those things which is abit of a sham ethat happens.
tis a game but its peoples real life they spend playing it. the whole debate whether its right or wrong to get really****ed or not really can grey out. because of the different situations. |

Seriously, you don't know me at all because otherwise you wouldn't post that.
Just because I put up a certain front on the forums doesn't mean I am actually like that ingame or on irc.
But hey, keep flaming me, it's just proving the OP's point ;)

True, it's a game, but it also involves real people. Sometimes things happen which have a real effect on people. But yes, some people are too highly strung

It seems to me that some people take this game too seriously because of time investment.
Other games like UT2K4 you kills things until you die and respawn with no real penalty. In Eve, some people spend lotsa time accumulating ISK to buy things, and since time = ISK in a way, when their things get blown up they get mad because it was a waste of tiem in their minds.
I don't know, that's one of the things I think that get people steamed and take thigns too seriously.

I think it is only a tiny minority who take it personally.
I had some pretty light hearted chats at the London meet with people who's corpses I have in my hangar.
I can't think of anyone there who was (overtly) holding any personal grudges from ingame events.

EVE isn't just a game, it's a social game. Humans are social animals, human nature in all its ugliness sometimes comes out even in a game like this (or especially?).
The thing that keeps me positive (and keeps me reading the eve-o forums ;p) is the fact that bad people who can't control themselves usually lose. EVE punishes social ineptitude.

If I wanted to play a game for craps and giggles I would have picked something less demanding than EvE. I would be playing GuildWars or WoW where you can run around stroking Elves and dance like retards and mouth off to anyone you see and not have to worry about the consequences. You really don't have to worry about losing anything that you've worked for in those games. Anything could be Items, Money, Reputation,.. etc.
Now I'm not saying run around wetting your pants when you lose something, but just illustrating on why someone might get a tad upset or bothered when they DO.
So..EvE isn't a game to me persay. Requires a lot of time building relations, building your character, building wealth, etc....
I feel that those that say that it is just a game have played since Beta, and have accomplished whatever objectives or goals that they set forth, and there are the handful that really don't care I suppose.
EvE doesn't compare to anything that I've ever played before, so I can't seem to shake it. It...well it has it all for me, and I can run around as a hot Amarrian beauty...woohoo

Comes down to competetiveness in large part. Decent part of people just loathe losing to anyone and for any reason, even if it's sapping the fun out of a game. Ie, only good game is a winning one, rest be damned. Goes a long way towards explaining the smacktalk and inane debates (together with internet anonomity).

Yes i can see how folks can get very irrate about the game. You have to invest alot of time to get something out of the game. Hours upon hours. I myself personally reflect and see that its part of the game and once u log off that RL is where u should be concerned with. I myself for 2years had my priorities abit poxed up. All i can say is take a deep breathe if your plans get messed up in game and think think think. This game is very tactical. I lost a pod due to the fact i didnt scout a grp that had a fly catcher lol. Lucky i had on implants. Well folks Peace out.

Some afterthoughts ...
The variety of ppl that play EvE make it interesting too. I suppose if everyone was uptight about the game it wouldn't be that fun, and if everyone didn't care and ran around shooty shooty it would get old too.
The same scenario that Predators need Prey, and Prey need Predators. IMO

Hard to say why ppl take it all to heart. I have found my self taking it way to seriously at times as well. When that happens I find my self having to just step away and take a break from the game. Sometimes takes a day sometimes a week to get my perspective back.
Of course this game is nothing like any other. This game in some respects is almost like a second job at times. (Im sure there are some CEO's out there that can relate to that.) To get ahead in this game take real work and real time and a lot of real planning. All that can go out the window very fast though and that can take a toll on someone regardless of game time or real life time.
No one can hear you scream in space, so just shut up and die already. |

"hyporcrite."
Look up "primary tank" and "holding aggro" concepts from the other games.
Then you'll know what dbp is about... ;s

End of the day this is a game, what we do in game, the hatred and all the rest stays in game tbh. If i met you in rl i would most definetly buy you a drink  .
Just like the eve radio event this year, god i met so many peeps which included alot of enemies for in game, but i had a great laugh and a chuckle about it with everyone, and i think i bought em a pint, who knows i was plastered

I agree with the alt to be honest, you do take it seriously some times DBP and it shows in a few of your posts, you can lie and say it doesnt or you can admit it and just be human, its ok to admit it.
I take it too seriously sometimes, doesnt mean its wrong, just means we'r human.
