Social Inequality? I could have sworn I typed https://forums.eveonline.com/ a second ago. But some how, I ended up at MSNBC....
What kind of EVE do I want to live in? The one where people figure out things for themselves and decide if they like it or not, all the while remembering it's a game (ie something they don't have to do) and leaving their real life political BS and whining about 'injustice' at the door. |

Then stay off the forums, minimise local or hide the chat part of it and make your own closed little group of friends. I would rather not have someone like you trying to dictate what we can talk about.
No one said someone can't talk about something. Someone is saying that what you're talking about is stupid.

I will readily admit that I don't know the value of that any more as I don't live there any longer.
However, at one point, I was earning R 5 000 a month, spending some 2 000+ on renting a two bed room house, 150-200 a week on groceries and R 800 for a maid to clean and do laundry two mornings a week. R 500 on a cell phone connection to the Internet and then looking at another week of groceries for a game subscription.
This all looks fine as a budget, until you throw in all those hidden costs to life, such as going to a doctor or dentist, new pair of glasses, your medical insurance, paying the local armed security extortion rackets and so forth.
The exchange rate can be extremely significant even to a comfortable life and job.
As for trusted players, there are some like Chribba but they probably don't want all the administration work this would take. Also, when you can't find out who is a spy in EVE, how will you know someone has economic difficulties?
A maid.... You can afford a maid but a game is hard to pay for...
Some people are just cracked to all hell.

Now now Remi, lets not stop his ranting about nonsense, especially now that he's in full "white man's burden" mode.

There are only 1410 minutes in a standard EVE day (23.5 hours). How dare you suggest people spend 43 minutes flying AFKing an ishtar and killing rats or doing TWO lvl 4 missions in high sec in that same time span in exchange for the other 1367 minutes!?! Lan Wang is heartless to space-poors!
I mean really, the obvious solution to the tragic injustice of people who can't afford 50 cents (U.S.) per day for frivilous entertainment (and yet by some miracle have a computer and internet connection) is handouts. Handouts do so well in real life, why not in EVE?
p.s. F--- your sarcasm meters if they just exploded, I meant to do that.

If by "man up" in this context you mean that being a man means
- to learn accept getting ****** over
- to not use strenght to help yourself and others
- to only to beat down on the weak, not resist the strong
- striving for the quietness in injustice rather than for risk and adventure in liberation
Well...
What a pitiful, cowardly, servile existence you desire.
Poor you.
There is a Team America video about this subject that I so want to link, but it might get me permabanned :) .
it really is too bad we can't talk politics here, because Zlug's post is a great example of the personality traits of those who follow that particular ideology. |
