isn't all that part of the appeal? eve isn't for everyone, and it's not possible to change that without completely changing the core dynamics and tone of the game. but there are plenty of "sociopathic basement-dwellers who use mindgames to screw over the other nutjobs" who relish a game that challenges them from the start and just want to be mean to people in space. |

Its OK but only to a point. In the end, it amounts to less people for me to sell stuff to, less people for you to pew pew, and less people for others to do awful things to. Its bad for me, its bad for you. How bad is it before its intolerable?
i can see where you're coming from, and it's definitely a problem that'd be better solved thru spreading awareness of the groups in eve that work to provide a gentler newbie experience (i'm thinking mainly of the eve university people, who run a pretty useful wiki and seem generally nice) than making any alterations to eve's actual gameplay. |

Nowhere did I suggest changing gameplay. More to the point, I am pointing at parts of the EVE community that might be doing more harm than good in the long run. I'm personally more of the mind that putting social pressure on them to stop doing harm to EVE is probably a better way to go about it.
... pressuring people to change their playstyle is changing gameplay, though. an enormous amount of eve's content is created by the players, and trying to manipulate the way people play space jerk simulator 2k14 for the greater good is just silly |

also, from the persecutive of a player and not someone trying to make money off of this game, what exactly is the advantage of getting a lot of new players if most of them are going to be boring and low-quality |

I think that many people are short sighted too. When someone quits all the clowns say is "Good riddance, we don't need his type anyway". I don't think thats a fair assement...
on the other hand, scammers create great opportunities to insult people in local chat and are thus important members of the eve ecosystem (evecosystem) |

Chewytowel Haklar wrote:The cruel nature of various posters responses clearly indicate the continue sociopathic and disgusting behavior that CCP allow to continue in EVE. I have no doubts that many of you like playing this game because you like taking all your negativity out on others in a game. Does that make you feel like a man?
I swear I am about done! The negative reputation this game gets from all sources is well deserved.
i'm going to feel so weird if this does't turn out to be a joking post |

The terrible reputation is what sold me on a trial account, and the cracked article from years ago about greatest video game heists. I hope eve continues to grow in its niche of being the greatest terrible game.
both this post and your signature are top notch, especially when viewed in conjunction with each other |

to be fair, eve kind of requires you to make friends with people while starting out, and it's generally accepted as being a necessary part of actually accomplishing anything |

Unsuccessful At Everything wrote:Eve is a dirty dirty girl. That is her reputation. No, she doesn't give it up on the first date.. but when she does.. your mind=blown. She will not treat you nice, she will abuse you, berate you, humiliate you.. and you will love and pay for every moment of it. When you are not with her, you will think of her.. when you leave her, you will always find your way back to her.. for more of that abuse that you say you don't want or like.. but secretly you do.. you do. Deep down you are a twisted individual who into all that kinky space submarine stuff. That warp scram bondage, getting bumped below the belt, getting into a threesome on the undock.. you ******* love it. If Eve changed its user interface to a leather mask and a ball gag.. you all know damn well that you would gladly put it on.. just to play.Eve is like that, and so are you. You say that you want Eve to be like all the other girls.. but.. why aren't you with all the other girls in the first place? You passed them all over just to be with Eve.. but then you are all like.. "Eve.. stop being a freak in the bedroom, and start being June Cleaver." But Eve cant do that.. she likes to smoke in the girls locker room, maybe she likes to shave her head and dye her eyebrows green, maybe even throw a nose ring in there for giggles. You know you like that. You wouldn't be happy with her any other way, no matter how much you make comments to the opposite. I love Eve's reputation, and you all do too.

evangelion is a really excellent piece of work, which makes it really weird that it has so many awful fans. i'm not sure how the people that want to sleep with asuka managed to miss everything in the series that decries them as being repulsive and terrible, or how the dude that made the rei raising simulator managed to derive "yeah, rei totally needs to be both infantilized AND eroticized more" from the source material. |

I've never been in a 40+ player fleet without getting pronspammed. You my friend, are missing out on the best part of Eve. Some of that stuff is just gold...granted, some of it requires eyebleach afterward, but that's fairly rare. i'm in a tiny corp full of very sweet but kind of boring guys and they're p much the only people i've ever been in a fleet with so... also i'm p sure most pornspammers wouldn't cater to my, uh, particular tastes
additionally; freelancer apparently thinks that a lack of dressup mini games is the reason why girls don't want to play with us? that's pretty... :/ |

There's something for everyone, and dammit, it shall be spammed. As for the part about WiS...yeah, I'm still waiting on him to explain that one. it's not so much a complaint about the internet, which has unlimited access to clips of GoT where jon snow is getting beat up, but the fact that eve is apparently made up of dads whose idea of eroticism is like, doing it in missionary position w the light on. |

Remiel Pollard wrote: This suggestion is enough for me to say no to everything you wrote, because I know where your ideas come from.
First of all, I've already explained why more players doesn't necessarily equate to a better game. More players of the right kind on the other hand is a different matter.
You are not the right kind. Anyone that suggests protection from aggression in any area of New Eden is the very wrong kind, and has already lost EVE by virtue of not being able to protect themselves.
Not only is this the most sickening suggestion I've seen made about EVE ever, it is by far one of the stupidest. Get wardecced? That's fine, just go to highsec.
If this is what you want, you are quite simply playing the wrong game, because EVE will never be this pathetic trash that you're suggesting. Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.
Players who want easymode and safety and protection etc, they are not the intended audience of this game, and them not playing it is what's best for the health of the game, not changing the game to suit them. You want an easymode version of EVE? Go make your own.
when i started reading this my first thoughts were "well this guy seems to be overreacting a tiny bit" but as i read on i started to get really into it and by the end i felt jubilant and re-invigorated |
