OMG  As in "OMG how dare you play differently and not in my favor". Which is pretty much the forum one-liner.
Fixed that for you. I for one applaud you for telling it as it is, even in the face of the handful of pilots who for years have considered this forum their private playground where their primary tasks are:-
A: Shout down anyone who's opinions do not concur exactly with theirs.
B: Drive off any poster who's play-style does ether match theirs or provide them with "content".
C: Mislead new pilots into traps/actions likely to lead to loss/scams (delete as applicable).
Which unfortunately probably goes some way to explaining the retention rate of new pilots. |

The truth is that the best way to advance is to learn that you win some and you lose some (and your ship and mods etc or just tools you use to have fun). And also that losing a fight in a video game isn't a reflection of your personal worth as a gamer or person. It's litterally "did you have fun before a ship exploded, yours or there's".
I suspect when I have a newbro pinned in a gatecamp, he doesn't have much time to have fun, or learn that I will always beat him even in the exact same fit which is twice as effective as his fit because V in everything . Though I wont deny having my OGB, neutral scout scan, prior knowledge of his fit from Zkillboard and my 5 buddies helps considerably.
Of course when he has V in everything, he can then rofflestomp newbs and tell them "SP doesn't matter" to make sure they come back for more . By then I will have V in everything Tech 3 and can continue to rofflestomp not-so-newbro, while telling myself its simply down to my elite skills. |

I suspect people who are security conscious enough to object to invasive API requests also do not have facebook accounts, dont use google, and have ghostery/noscript/adblock installed and google.com routed to localhost.
No idea why CCP feels the need to monetize its forum users with newrelic and google when we are already paying them *cough* |
