What will you do if you succeed and rule all systems ?

My theory about people who plays computer games, more than casually, have some sort of phase in their life when they are not willing to face real world fully, maybe they have some problems in there.

My theory: most crack-pot, unfalsifiable theories about others are simply people expressing what scares them into denial when they look in the mirror.

Pseudo-intellectualism. You should go **********. It's more productive.

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.

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.

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.

Pseudo-intellectualism. You should go **********. It's more productive.

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.





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?

Ummm.... everything you just said is also fairly commonplace.
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.

You are unique, special and delicate. Do you feel better about yourself now? LOL

U seem a little mad bra... "beneath the surface" I detect some goon hate.


How is that for analysis.



Now here is where you say that you're not mad, and you call me a poopy face again.

Awwww, I think I hurt his feelings.
...and as you can see I predicted your response perfectly!


Poor little Smiling Menace... yes... yes.. you are unique, don't worry. 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.
