I've spent years coming to this forum offering advice and encouragement to players with a genuine desire to get better at Eve. This is not one of those cases. This is just another rant about how after a couple days of playing Eve, someone with an over-inflated sense of entitlement has decided that he knows how to 'fix' Eve....fix rules that have existed the entire time Eve has been in existence.

Nonsense like 'open PvP is okay....but' should be called out and mocked. Basically saying- 'the rules everyone has played by for 12 years are fine...as long as they don't apply to me'. I have no tolerance for that. We all came to the same game, with the same rules. If you don't like those rules then don't play the game.

It's not an insult to suggest this isn't the game for some people. If you can't survive a trial account without taking to the forums soaking in tears, then clearly Eve is the wrong choice of games. Thats why they offer a trial account. It's only going to get worse once you have something valuable to lose. It's not my fault if that honest appraisal hurts some gamer's ego too much to admit that maybe another game is more your style than Eve is. Nor is it the responsibility of the devs to alter a game from it's very core mechanics simply because some people cannot go a couple days without crying like a school girl with a skinned knee over the same mechanics that tens of thousands of other players managed to survive for over a decade. Eve is easier now than it ever has been...and still it's not enough dumbing down and hand holding for some.

Being extorted, scammed, or blown up is not unique to any one player- yet tens of thousands of us manage to play Eve without having to cry to the devs when someone actually engages in multiplayer online gaming..in a multiplayer online game. Don't cry when someone role plays, in a role playing game. Even if the role they choose is 'bad guy'.

What is insulting is the notion that difficulty and adversity is a 'problem' with Eve. For many players it is exactly this concept that attracted us to Eve in the first place. For many of the longest term and most dedicated players- Eve is a destination. It's where we came to when we got tired of swimming in the shallow end of gaming with kiddie games like WoW. If that's the type of game you want- there are lots out there to choose from. But there is only one game like Eve Online. If you don't like the game that Eve is...fine... but don't assume that your inability to handle the rules and mechanics is universal. Way too many of us managed to survive and prosper under those same (or harsher) rules for over a decade.
It's not the game...it's YOU.

I can confirm, eve players do not even read.

Clear violation of the rules and people heckle him saying "pvp tho". He's correct, even if the amount of crybaby in his post is off the charts.
