I get this really strange impression the OP either joined the wrong corp/alliance or made a corp and everyone bailed on him. The disloyal, lesser people they are. Tsk tsk, the dirty sellouts. 
I feel trying to apply psychology to a game that 99.9% of people play for fun may lead to some interesting conclusions that are most likely wildly inaccurate.
EVE is not a job and if you treat it as such, you may want to find something else to use your leisure time on.
By the way? I think my CEO hates me and I think I may bail on this corp as he is not fulfilling my expectations, the bastard.
WTB new corp and/or disloyal alliance. |

So basically if you try to achieve something in EVE you have to remember that people are
1. playing only game for fun and are not willing to use too much time on those.
Actually most people play eve because they are trying to reach a goal that they have set for themselves. It is not so much that playing is fun for long periods of time, it is that building an idea and aspiring to a set goal for the duration is fun and/or rewarding. This brings out qualities in said individuals that can be observed if you are paying close enough attention. Bad Messenger wrote:
2. are people who have real life problems and are not possibly the best human material you can get, this is usually group who are willing to play a lot.
Funny, I seem to see allot of married folks with allot of time on their hands which directly contradicts your assertions.
I have to 'lol' here, dude.
To try and work out why most people do what they do would take a lifetime and then some to work out. I bet if you did a straw poll on a random 200 people on the 4-4 undock in Jita and asked them why they play EVE, I will guess most do it because they can do things in EVE they couldn't do in real life.
You cannot in anyway shape or form look at a select group of people and from that determine why they do anything. It's just not possible.
Take myself for example, I play EVE for competition from others that doesn't require waking up a stupid times (Alliance CTA's don't count) or spending a million hours training (I have a job and a life God damn it!).
But I also play because I get to **** in someone's cheerios and ruin their day (Hi White Noise \o/ ).
I also set goals for myself from time to time (Capitals was my last goal).
However, the main reason I play EVE and the one thing you have totally overlooked? I have made friends here. I have my corp mates and alliance buddies that I think very highly of (even the damn Goat trolls ) and there have been a lot of times I've logged in, ship spun and just chatted for hours on TS/Mumble.
EVE has what I think just about every other game really lacks, a seriously kickass community. I love all EVE players from all corps/alliances for making this game so damn awesome every single day, in a strictly platonic, brosef kind of way.
TL;DR
People are people and there are a million different reasons why people do what people do, do, do....****, when does this stop?  |

It is more or less the normal average.
So...I don't know what you're getting at.
Sigh...yes, it is commonplace. Those are just a few of my reasons for playing. I have a ton more. So will everyone else. So trying to pin labels on people doesn't really work as depending on weather, time of day, mood or if they think little green men really exist, they will have multiple reasons too.
Of course you do get the weirdest bunch of all, the psychologists. No-one really knows why they bother logging in.

Do you feel better about yourself now? LOL
We all are unique, special and delicate, even you.
I always feel very good about myself. Especially when I meet your special snowflake kind of person and get to engage in some forum PvP.
I think the bottom line is, no-one really cares about your views or pet project to psychoanalyze the EVE player base. But hey, whatever gets you logging in and playing, amiright?
Next time you have a rush of blood to the brain, don't think 'OMG! I am so totally gifted....TO THE FORUMS!!1!!'. They are bad enough with Goon propaganda and they need no help from 'pubbies'. |

Welp, you fail badly at analysis and therefore pretty much suck at psychoanalyzing in your OP if you can't even get that right. Find a new hobby.
I fly with goons everyday and just love helping them burn the North and kill Russians.
I think Goons are fine upstanding members of the EVE community and get a bad rap from those that just don't 'get them'.
And seriously? That the best meme you can come up with? U mad bra?
I thought you might be more intelligent than that but seems I was wrong. Oh well, time to go find someone with some sense.

You are a shining and spending being that cannot be categorized or easily reference. Now you can go onward with your normal life, safe in that knowledge.
LMAO! Wonder how long I can keep this going now?
Don't think I called you a 'poopy face' in my post? Fail number one. Fail number two, you couldn't make me 'mad' even if you tried dude
You are so full of fail that it's not even funny. Your predictions were wrong. Still think you should try a new hobby, you are horrible at this one.
Ok, double or quits? Predict what I am going to do next, now that would be impressive. |

Eternum Praetorian wrote:Lets see... Predict your behavior... You will continue to troll in order to satisfy a deeply ingrained need to feel mentally superior vs your peers. The idea that people can predict the behavior of others is threatening to you, perhaps because it make you feel like others can have some kind of strange power over you, which of course directly contradicts your highly developed ego. This is possibly a result of insecurities manifesting themselves in a video game environment, which becomes an outlet for you without consequences. You are diagnosed with classic internet Douchebag syndrome, and sadly there is no cure  Awaits for "I am done posting here because I am better than you blah blah blah" Dazzle me!
lol I made it easy for you and you still failed. No, I went to sleep. Keep on trying though, it amuses me no end. 
I am pretty sure you are also trolling.
Oh and your return key is broken. No need to thank me, just a free service I offer douchebags that I am far superior to.
I predict you will post here once more to justify your trolololol existance rather than take the moral high ground and walk away.
Over to you, my psychobabble buddy! |

The fact that you passed out before you danced for me like a monkey on a leash does not mean that you are any less transparent.
I shall now return the topic of this thread to it's original intent. Methods people use to topple digital empires and how it ties back into reality, and the men and women sitting behind their computers.
Your return key is still broken. You should really fix that.
And still trying to justify your trolololol existance I see? LMFAO!
Ok folks, we should all just bow down to our might Forum Overlord now. He's clearly 'won' EVE and can predict our every move.
If he actually logged in, he'd own all of null with his uncanny ability to 'read' people thus render all forms of opposition useless. Well he would if anyone would follow a pretentious *****
And Mittani is God. I'd vote for him for CSM...oh wait... |
