I've been playing on and off since 2006. I've been back a whole 2 or 3 days, and I'm already regretting it. So, I'm out. For good. The socially-challenged degenerates have won.
Goodbye.
EDIT: To clarify: 1) yes, there are also good people in this game, and 2) it's not the loss of property that concerns me. I could always go buy a PLEX if I really need money. It's the fact that I have better things to do with my time than spend it playing a game with people who get their rocks off by ruining the fun of others - and that's all it was. The people who blew up my ship didn't gain anything by it. They simply enjoy making other people feel bad. This game is chock full of people like that, and I'd simply rather not interact with them - I avoid those people in real life, why would I tolerate them here? Which, again, makes me sad, because I do enjoy this game, otherwise.
And it really does make me sad, because I really do enjoy this game. I wouldn't keep coming back if I didn't. And I know there are good people here, otherwise it would not work as it does. The large-scale operations and such take cooperation. I see people cooperating all the time. Hell, it takes cooperation to form a gank squad! But I've never experienced any of that. In the nine years (on and off) that I've played this game, all I've ever experienced is PvE and getting ganked. And I'm sick of it.
This game doesn't attract any dregs, it attracts several types of people. This includes intolerant types who can't stand the idea that other people have the same freedoms they do. It also includes people who don't understand that in a video game with guns, people are going to get shot and that in video games, you don't have to have a 'reason' to do anything.
I don't care if some don't like me repeating this truth, gonna keep saying it. The problem is not and has never been the game or the people who play it. It's people like you Kotan, people who should understand enough about themselves to understand that they are too sensitive for a game like this, too sensitive to be in a situation where 'bad' (ie interesting) things are supposed to happen. You display that 0ver-sensitivity when you claim that people are somehow bad for play this game with in it's rules.
Many are like you, which is why most MMOs don't let things like that happen, because game developers know most people are too mentally weak to survive even an imaginary adverse situation. EVE is different'/ EVe and CCP don't care about how you feel. EVE expects you to be an adult with a "F it. it's just pixels" mentality. I LOVE EVE for that, I don't need game developers to protect me, I'm a grown man, I can deal with "kill everything" type video game players, I deal with worse every day in real life...because I'm married.
You don't have it. This is not a crime as most people/gamers don't either. What is a crime is not realizing you don't have it and then blaming other people for your own mistake in playing a game like this.
