On some help threads ive posted and read i see people who just comment on how stupid that person must be not to know that, and other similar things akin to that. Almost the complete opposite of the people in-game. Could someone mind explaining this to me?

The forums, and particularly General Discussion, are an amalgam of Eve players of all playstyles, many of which cannot relate or understand one another. In a discussion forum the battle of egos can get pretty heated and ugly. For more good-natured discussion try to look at some of the more specific subforums, or ask help questions in New Citizens Q&A.
Of course, no matter where you're posting, don't feed the trolls, and report any rule-breaking posting so we mods can get it under control. ISD LackOfFaith Commander Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department I do not respond to Eve Mail or anything other than the forums. |

Easy answer, there are always the same few people whining on the forums, that is what makes the atmosphere somewhere odd. 99% of the people that enjoy the game, community and EVE won't join rant, or just join to say something creative and meaningful. |

I take responsibility for shiptoasting when I have a bad coffee experience and it seems my emotional stability isn't what it used to be in the last months.
But that's okay, tomorrow will be much better again.

Oh cmon Ezwal, those posts were not personally attacking anyone nor designed to anger or insult other players, they were a harmless forum role play joke. Only thing rule breaking about them was them being slightly off topic.

Every community grapples with controversy. The EVE community's primary point of contention is about freedom. Should the system be able to takes its own harsh, self-driven Darwinian path.. or should someone interfere on behalf of those who end up at the bottom?
There are deep emotions on both sides of this viewpoint. So expect some color.
That the players are invested enough to argue passionately is a good thing in my opinion.
Or would you prefer the forums to be dead? It's impossible to have an active community that is also polite and lovey dovey. Do go visit reddit or any other active internet community sometime.
This is what you get when you put this many intelligent people in the same box.

Is this merely an elaborate plan to kill all hope for healthy gameplay, or is it because some failed election runs to grab seats on their goernment? That I do not know.
I think it's so relatively pleasent ingame because there's no default global chat channel. In my observations, that's the place in other games where it's really bad ingame, hehe. Maybe because with a default global chat, trolls and other attention seekers feel they'll get a guaranteed wide audience. |

I dunno really.
I think they're complacent. Like, they've spent a long time not really having a challenge so now they just kind of go through the motions without putting forth any real effort.
Or, they're just not of the highest mental caliber and don't know how to properly express themselves without devolving into a hate filled, insult infested, textual vomit display of poor posting ability.
Who's to say though? Fact is, doom and gloom is much more prevalent on these boards than in game. In my experience, anyways. Proof of lying in thread.

Sometimes I feel like I'm regressing mentally reading posts. Like I'm forgetting how to read english and can't make heads or tails what's being said. Then I go to other forums like Reddit and realize its the people here, not me. This forum is so disfunctional it should be shut down or massively ban people its so bad. If you want coherent thoughts go to a different site. I'm just thankful the help channel has helpful knowledgeable people willing to take time out of their gameplay to answer questions unlike here. Ultimately blame forum mods for lettting these forums become garbage by not banning people who post nonsense and north hing useful to) he topic. |
