EVE University graduates their students with a particular brand of carebear attitude that I feel is extremely damaging to the future of EVE Online.
...
If EVE University were an actual teaching organization, consisting of a few hundred dedicated teachers and the couple hundred actual newbies that pass through their doors every three months, then I would support that organization unequivocally. What EVE University actually has become is a dedicated carebear organization, where 1000 members have nothing at all to do with the teaching of any newbie. It's a self-interested collection of risk-averse industrialists who use the University's claim as a teaching organization to voice their loud displeasure with the dangers and risks of EVE Online. Even now we see CCP bowing to this pressure, as high security space becomes even safer.
What EVE University needs to do is to get back to their original mission statement. They need to kick 1000 people to the curb, refocus on what they once did best -- teach new players this amazing game. They need to teach people that this game was built on the concept of conflict, and teach them that conflict drives everything good about this game. Sadly, they've been doing just the opposite, and I think the large part of the blame can firmly rest with the bloat of 1000 carebears that they've permanently and detrimentally acquired over the years.
That was the TL;DR. Click for the complete post. EVE Online: Incarna - New Coke EVE Online: Winter Expansion - Coke Classic |

I'm tired of reading you cry about E-UNI.
If you want risk, go to low-sec. If you want conflict, convince the null-sec carebears to actually start fighting eachother. |

There's nothing wrong with carebear attitudes, if PvPers would actually want to fight real targets there would be no problem, but a lot of PvPers are just carebears anyway, hitting soft targets that rarely fight back.
As for EVE Uni, The last I heard they actually train pilots (probably just those who want to PvP) to PvP. |

EVE-Uni are neutral because they're a training corp, so how do you expect them to fight?
PvP is player/players Vs player/players, killing a mining barge in high-sec is not PvP, it's PvE because the only one that engages the aggressor is Concord (NPC).
Playing the market is not PvP, if it was then that would mean all WoW PvE servers were actually PvP, which they're not (added this because some people think pretty much anything is PvP).

If someone shoots your Mackinaw, you can do something about it. Running to the forums and screaming at CCP to fix things so that you don't lose anymore Mackinaws is hardly the answer.

IF you want to blame someone ... blame the Mo0 they CAUSED concord to be like it is now. The fact that so many eve players will drive a bus though the smallest hole is the reason for the SAFE high sec. Eve isn't darkfail and there are reasons for that, they want people to play who aren't psychopaths (not that they want to exclude them, they just want more).

Eve is based on conflict. Whether it's fighting in ships, scamming, or competing in the market, it's conflict that makes the game what it is. Anything done to remove conflict, or make it possible to avoid conflict, ruins the game. Whats worse is that if you teach new players that they should be upset at a war, you're doing nothing but ruining the entire game experience for them. Instead of being excited at the idea of combat, they get all emo and whine about it. Instead of the game being fun, it brings misery and disappointment.
There's a thousand games out there with no real loss. A thousand games where you can die and magically reappear with all your stuff. Turning Eve into one of those games will destroy the entire concept of a "cold, dark, harsh place." I think with the recent changes to wardec immunity rules, Eve finally crossed that line where it can no longer claim to be a cold, dark, harsh place. |

Posting on my main like a bawsss. I actually agree with you on your observations regarding Eve Uni. I think thats why I (and 90% of the other ex-Eve Uni guys I know) left the Uni over the last few months. We all knew the rules were there to keep us safe and to keep Uni neutrality, but it was more a cultural risk adverseness that pushed a lot of us away.
I much prefer the TEST and Goons method of "here newbie, have rifter, go tackle something and be a hero" over the Eve Uni method of "Never undock, always be in a blob, dont talk in local etc." I found that a lot of Uni people took themselves WAYYYY too seriously when they are a training corp, not ELITEPVP.
This is not to say that I hate the Uni - I and many others learned a lot there and it really was great for learning the basics of the game.

I don't believe EVE Uni is teaching players to be upset at war. Have you considered it might be the fact that they are getting more people that are mainly just interested in PvE?
This game has a lot of PvE players and PvP players using alts in high-sec PvEing to fund their PvP characters. PvE players have been in the game at least since 2005 that I know of, I'm sure it's even longer than that.
From what I've seen over the years it the PvPers that only have themselves to blame (not the genuine PvPers but the carebear PvPers).

Yeah that's the myth, but like most myths it's not exactly true.

Lesse spend about a week training a dessi alt on a trial account then suicide a mac and get concorded. The mac pilot gets KRs on the alt. Which is flying a cheap desi he is expecting to lose anyway. I really cannot qualify that act as being fighting back. Please if there is something I am missing explain it to me. I'm up for any new info. |

I was part of Eve-Uni many years ago. I joined The Graduates in '06 and took part in many Eve-Uni training ops. Things were so very different then. I remember setting up in 0.0 and giving the students a place to see what the null-sec game was all about. They still had the don't-undock rule but the attitude toward war was not anywhere near as harmful to new players as it is now. It seems that many people have forgotten that losing ships can be just as fun as killing them.
The biggest problem we face here is the distinct lack of older players that remember what Eve used to be about. I remember when Oveur stopped posting devblogs. It seemed he was one of the few at CCP that really knew what Eve was about, along with CCP Wrangler. Seeing him fade from the scene worried a lot of us. It took some searching but my google-fu is strong and I found an example of this.
http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=1293
Quote:Now, I'm also all for having travel times, they put in the essential sense of distance in the world of EVE. Distances increase regional prices and enable locational differenses, they make far away lands seem mysterious and sexy. This is of course ruined since it's very easy to travel the lengths of the universe (comparitively) than in other games.
But I'm also against the lack of danger and the awful boring times when you are just chugging along and nothing threatens you.
This sentiment is gone from eve and it seemed to begin it's death about the same time Oveur stopped posting. The more new players are trained to view war as a bad thing the more that sentiment will continue to have dirt poured on top of it's grave. |

Drones have enough DPS to drop a jihadi? I would'nt know never tried. Again never flew any mining vessel. And really not sure how they are fitting suicides nowadays. Always sort of found drones were slow to apply DPS. And Concord rather fast. So I was guessing that if they were fit to last till concord they could handle a few drones... |

Pot meet Kettle. You are a carebear, most of the uni probably has better killboard stats than you do. If I recall you went on a grand total of one pvp fleet while you were in the uni. You spent most of your time in the uni whining about the uni and being one of those carebears you seem to loathe soo much.

some players don't want to play the game the way you want them to, and for that you're QQing all over the forums. i don't see Eve-U doing any of the things you're accusing them off - I see YOU doing those things.

and nobody is denying the ability. even with all the changes ganking at still completely possible, it just *gasp* HAS CONSEQUENCES.
EVE after all is supposed to be a game of consequences, the fact that you can create a 21 day disposable trial account, train for 7 days, then use it to suicide gank for two weeks is the epitome of breaking eve - you're avoiding the consequences of your actions with a trial account. this is the same reason the "negative sec status alt recycling" is a potentially bannable offensive (if you do it a lot).

Agony Unleashed and the uni are 2 completely different entities. Last I checked Agony is doing just fine and is on very good terms with the uni, in fact many unistas even take their classes (and are encouraged to by the uni to the point where the uni will pay for the class)

EVE University is the reason why this game is become soft and doughy. Just got home from work (13 hour days) and saw this answer.
Eve University is the reason? 
Your delusional.....
I don't have the 2010 Q4 econ report right in front of me, but last numbers I knew of (and if anyone has the correct numbers, please post them!) were that there were over 311000 accounts, and most people averaged about 2.2 accounts/actual player.
311000/2.2 = 141363(.636363636 - repeating, of course) - actual players (roughly - close enough for the moment).
Eve-U has graduated how many over the last 7 years? 10,000? 20,000? 40,000? Hell, make it 50,000! That's 1/3 (again, roughly) of the entire player base. Your telling me that 33% of the player base is driving eve over the cliff? That *every one* of those 50K is marching in lock-step to the beat of Kheld's (peace corp) drum?

Good lord man, stop and think for a minute - It's *very* probable that >60% of the player base has never heard of E-U! And I know for *dam* sure, that not all E-U grads are "care-bears", not by any stretch of the imagination. (lets not even think about all the players that Goonswarm / Test / whoever the hell else have brought to the game...)
Disregard for the moment that anyone can leave the Uni whenever they want, or that anyone can lead a uni-fleet out, or that *all* the NPC corps have their own chat (some more populated than others) - It's Eve-University that is the ailment of eve? I'm a Unista, but I can also add and subtract, and that just does not compute...
Keep on with tilting at the Uni windmills.... it's funny.

Confirming this. Agony and Eve Uni are entirely different, and always have been. While we do run classes for EVE Uni sometimes, we also run them for many other player corps/alliances who request them.
Also, I wasn't aware we had halls, but I'll make sure they aren't burning. |

Eve Uni is not the end all, be all of the game.
it's what you make of it.
if your experience within the uni was not up to your standards, then leave, and move on.
if you're a new player, like i was at one point, then the uni is simply a waypoint along the deeper path to the game you choose to make it.
Poetic, you really need to reassess the reasons for the continuous bashing of the Uni over any other part of the game.
no one ever gets along all the time, and divergent viewpoints are a plenty. if you felt your toes were squashed on by someone or a philosophy, then deal with it and move on. the obsessive /compulsive nature of your posting on this topic is starting to suggest something unhealthy.

This will be my last Uni post for quite awhile. If Kelduum decides to run for CSM7, I may have to do some posting to try to derail his ******-up Spreadsheets-in-Space (SiS) campaign.
Unless the Uni does something monumentally stupid in the near future, then there's not much to write about concerning the Uni and CCP's willingness to buff highsec security.
For those confused about what gets me so ******* riled up about the Uni ---
What bugs me is all the cheering I see in the Uni forums and on Mumble for every highsec buff that comes along (not too mention the general feeling that things like ganking and wardecs should be removed entirely from highsec space.) For ****'s sake ... the Uni is supposed to be teaching their students that EVE is a rough and tumble game, not encouraging the sort of carebear whining we see on the forums every single day. They should be a force that educates on the principles of this game, not encourages people to whine and moan about highsec ganking and wardecs. The one principle they should teach above all else (hell, it should be their motto) is "EVE is conflict. Conflict is good."

Yeah, lets just start whining about a corp that trains new players in a environment that might just make them want to play the game a bit longer.
I mean, heavens forbid, why would we ever want new players to feel like they have anything to contribute to the game other than a steady supply of tears for gankers. Why would you ever want new players to feel welcome when we can have all these bittervets complain about how useless they are.

Here's an idea, why don't you start your own University instead of continually ragging on EUNI?? That way you can show all of New Eden how a real teaching organization should be run.
TLDR; put up or shut up.
That is all. |

Or they can finally decide if they want to be a carebear organization, harbouring year-old mission and incursion runners ... of if they'd like to actually be a training organization. I support the latter, I do not support the former.
My work is done.
Most posts, in recent weeks, on the forums and in blogs that discuss CCP's diminishing of PvP in highsec now also mention E-Uni in the same breath. That's a win in my books. People connect the two. As it should be.
As quick example: http://madhaberdashers.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/blog-banter-30-finally-our-long-interstellar-nightmare-is-over/
What of the 1000 dedicated, long-time industrialist carebears still in the Uni? (Only 500 members are teachers, mentors and students.) The majority membership in the Uni has no role whatsoever in teaching. They are miners and haulers and mission runners, running with 500M - 1B ISK incursion ships. Hardly the trappings of a newbie organization.
I think it's about time the Uni returned to their roots, became a teaching corporation again. A thousand current Unistas need to be kicked to the curb and form into corporations that serve their specific purpose. A training corporation (if that is what the Uni really wants to be) is not the place for them. EVE Online: Incarna - New Coke EVE Online: Winter Expansion - Coke Classic |

If you honestly believe that CCP misunderstands what Eve-U is about, you've certainly more than done your part to clear that up for them. It seems to me like you're not just interested in alerting CCP to what you believe to be misrepresentation. I'm sure that CCP knows exactly what Eve-U is like. They let folks stick around and carebear or whatever else after they aren't really in training anymore. That's no secret. I don't think Eve-U pretends otherwise, do they? Training and providing a welcoming environment for new players is their angle, that doesn't mean that it is like unethical to let those players hang around longer if they want. If you think they're like tricking CCP into believing that they are exclusively about training new players and that that gives them some undue influence, alerting CCP to your views should suffice, no?
As I side note, I just read through your circumnavigation blog posts. Good stuff. I'm always on the wormhole/null fence, so it was a good perspective. |

They complain about anyone wanting to "attack a newbie corporation", or what pleasure do people get "wardeccing a training corporation." They actively further the notion that they are a corporation full of newbies/trainees. That is most definitely not the case. They lobby CCP on the pretense that by helping the Uni they are helping newbies. In fact newbies are a minority in the Uni, what is being protected are ~1000 industrialists and mission runners. Again, 500M-1B ISK ships are hardly indicative of a newbie corporation.

Yeah, lets just start whining about a corp that trains new players in a environment that might just make them want to play the game a bit longer.
I mean, heavens forbid, why would we ever want new players to feel like they have anything to contribute to the game other than a steady supply of tears for gankers. Why would you ever want new players to feel welcome when we can have all these bittervets complain about how useless they are.
These posts are getting more and more boring.
Thats what Poetic does. Im fairly certain he/she doesnt actually play the game for all the time spent on the forum qqing about EVE Uni.

You've become quite boring. The endless threads approach only works if other people jump on the band wagon. You're just diluting your message and destroying your "brand."
Instead of whining, how about you start Stanziel University? All the energy you put into this could be better used to train new players the "right" way.

Less Pox-like. EVE University is making some positive changes. Today I lost my common sense, It slipped away between Amamake and Rens, I think it happened in highsec, Using a Brutix to gank a Providence. -- Flunk |

No organization in EVE should get special in-game advantages from CCP (whether it's goons because Soundwave is a goon or whether it's EVEUni because CCP thinks they help retain players or whatever.)
As long as that line isn't crossed (or they're not cheating exploit-abusers like AHARM) then calling out corps is lame. If you don't like how EVEUni works, compete with them and do it better. |

When I was a young and budding newb, as opposed to the older, cynical newb I am now... I thought it would be smart to join E-UNI to learn the game.
I was taught:
1. Don't use rigs on your rifter because it looks bad on a killboard when you die. 2. Don't leave station during war unless you're in a blob, because it looks bad on a killboard when you die. 3. If your killboard looks bad, bad things happen. 4. When you're so paranoid that you treat everyone like a spai, calling yourself a newb instruction corp and inviting the world to join isn't exactly productive. 5. Cheetahs are the most expensive ship you can possibly fly and must be defended at all costs.
Then I went out on an op: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvVGtD8-HAU
...and I learned what it's like to be WTF podded through no fault of your own. (FC warped us to 0 on a SB blasting Domi) I learned that one guy could kill 100 if it's an E-UNI blob.
Later I would find myself on the other side of the coin. I learned that E-UNI pilots cry floods of tears and get all bent out of shape when they think your blue for some stupid reason. I learned that they like to throw threats around and freak out over overview glitches instead of saying ****-it, it's a game.
"LAST CHANCE!!!! LAST CHANCE!!!!"
The next day I learned that a 40 man gang can take on 200 E-UNI pilots and wipe them out when they came back to teach us a lesson. I also learned that E-UNI has unlimited man-power and that this is their one and only asset when two more fleets of similar size arrived to do what 200 of them couldn't....make us sit in the station and laugh at them (previously we were blowing them up and laughing).
I learned that sitting there like dumbshits on the gate, relying on 40% ewar composition, doesn't help you when you're being sniped from 100k.
All in all, I'd say that E-UNI has taught me a lot and provided me with many lols. EvE simply wouldn't be the same place without them. |

Can you explain in detail where the "Carebear" touched you and how it learned this nefarious behavior from Eve Uni?
On a serious note since this last expansion seems to be mainly to the benefit of gankers and gun miners, both high and null sec, exactly what is the damage all these carebears are doing? They seem to be providing appropriate targets for ganking. They cry sufficiently. Do you want them to call you back after a gank? Start paying for the Gank? Your reliance on the "DOOM TO THE CAREBEAR" soap box is getting not only stale but downright boring.
