I joined the EVE community like 3.5 years ago. First two hours where ****. Could not for the life of me figure out how to fly. Went to bed and tried the game again and have not joined any other MMO since.
What bothers me is this - I have come to love New Eden, even the ball busting *****es who cloaky camp my ratting/mining systems for weeks. Yet, when I and many others go to the F&I to post ideas we have on making the whole of New Eden better, there are a handful of trolls, whom in my opinion, nearly never provide any constructive feedback to the OP of the thread. Instead they choose to rip the OPs thoughts apart and for lack of words **** on the OP.
To me, the harshest place in all of New Eden isn't in the game, it is in the Player F&I. I know that not every idea is full proof, it never is (we have Fozzie SOV as a perfect example.). Yet out of all the places I would expect the strictest enforcement of common courtesy in EVE, I witness a hive of hate and hostilities.
It seems that I have a continued wish to be **** on by these people and keep going back; yet, I feel I have ideas that need to be presented to CCP.
What I fear the most is this. Every time I find s post by a new player or someone lacking in English skills, these trolls role in and destroy any hopeful feelings.
I am making a shout out; not just for myself that wants to see New Eden grow and last another decade, but I am calling for reps on our brothers and sisters who attempt to provide their ideas in a forum polluted by hostile carbon based filth.
You put the idea out for public consideration. If you cannot handle criticism of your ideas, then perhaps you should keep in mind that not everyone is going to agree with you. Most of us who spend our forum time in F&I have a deep love for the dark abyss that is EvE, and wish it to stay that way.
In a vast majority of cases, those people who get their posts "**** on" would have been better served going a few pages back into the forum history and finding their answers in the last dozen threads identical to theirs. How many times must we be subjected to the same rehashed ideas, vomited out as the greatest thing in the world? Honestly, ISD needs a couple members solely for F&I. Members who, like those of us who spend a large amount of time there, can quickly spot and lock redundant threads. This would reduce a large amount of the trolling.
In the greater portion of remaining instances, the cause is because the idea is contrary to that which is EvE. There are several other games available if someone wants a warm, fuzzy game experience. On the other hand, EvE is the only game of its kind. Personally, I play EvE because what I do actually matters, even if it's only in a miniscule way. I fully realize that I can lose everything I've worked for with a single mistake. In fact, I have done so several times. Some of the greatest vitriol goes to those threads where the OP is trying to get CCP to reduce the risk to their profession rather than take it upon themselves to reduce said risk. Usually, this request for CCP to buff their play style is by asking for nerfs to someone else's play style.
Yes, in most cases I disagree with you. No, I'm not always nice about it. Even with this, I realize you're a fellow human, not a ***** or filth. You decry the way some are treated in F&I, then come here and act the same way. We have a term for people who do that, which I'm sure you're able to find with Google.
Lastly, if you think someone has gone too far, report the post. This is ISD's job, after all.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.
Hello, Mr Carebear. Would you like some cheese with that whine?
