Do the evil pirates (people who kill for no reason, or who kill to loot and steal) totally outnumber the righteous protectors in this game? (People who only kill bad people, and usually not for the profit / loot)
What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction? That they, deep down, are nothing more than primitive animals that eat each other for food and spend all their time fighting and none of it doing productive, long term successful things?
Part of what makes us human is our societies and our order. For as long as there's been soldiers there's been civilians, and the best societies are ones where all the people in it are protected by righteous people.
Perhaps most people are animalistic, and some people are not - these people are the great leaders who can form great societies (like Jesus and George Washington) who fight against the evils of destruction...especially random and wanton destruction that results in heavy losses and few gains...
Not to say that you're "required" to be ethical when playing EVE, but why are so few people ethical when the offical rules say you're allowed to not be? Are you all such blind slaves that you only follow the offical rules, and cannot see the society underneath that can form?
Anyways, perhaps next time you want to "Gank" someone, you should consider how much harder it is to fight those who cause misery, rather than being one of the evil thugs that causes it.

Anyways, perhaps the next time you get "ganked" by someone, you should consider how much easier it would have been to stay in high sec where you are safer from the misery, and staying away from the thugs that causes it. One of the appealing things about Eve is that you can pirate. And you can "make a living" from it, so to speak. This is something that is impossible or very hard in most other MMO's.
But anyways, sure there might be more pirates than anti-pirates. But there are more carebares, industrial people, miners, people PvP'ing in alliance wars, Bounty Hunters, Mercs and FW fighters combined than there are pirates.
"What does this say about people in society? That without the constraints of society they do not see the need for a society's general rules against destruction?
Sure, there might be a lot of pirates, but that doesn't mean that this statement is true. There might be more pirates than pirate hunters, but there aren't more pirate hunters than the other types of players combined.

Yesterday I saw two children playing "battleships", one of them was winning, and with glee he exlaimed "I sunk your battleship!" his eyes were completely devoid of sympathy for the thousands of souls onboard that little battleship, what has our world become, he could not be more than nine and his mother didn't even TRY to correct this behaviour, society is going down the drain.

As much as I hate to say this, Kublai, you win this thread.
And to the op, many eve players have to work IRL to pay bills, taxes and keep food on the table for themselves and their families. So when some come online to play internet spaceships the last thing they may want to do is sit around mining or grinding missions to make pretend money. They would rather come online, shoot a few people and have a good time doing it unwinding from RL. If you have a problem with the morality of this or whatever then you should definately stay clear from MMORPGS, FPS and action games and stick with the Sims 2.

You're in the wrong areas. There aren't a lot of "Righteous protectors" that will ride out into lowsec on a shining white steed to save Joe Newbie from the Evil Pirates...but there are a lot of non-pirating players and organizations that actively fight against pirates in their area of space. However, they're inhabiting the less pirate-infested regions and defending their space from there, rather than flying out in huge wtfpwnblobs into pirate-infested empire to empire lowsec pipelines.

LMAO. You realize that A) this is a game B) logic factors in..being a game that we pay for we'd look for fun (sitting in front of a roid selling veld isn't fun...nor is doing the same bs level 4..in the same dumb ship that has infinite cap).
spend less time copying some thesis paper from a college student and train up some pew pew skills and kill people yourself. ATM you're just playing the sheep giving more people lol's and reasons to come kill such a weak player that's obviously beeing beaten up by some bullies..and suck at a game that they pay money for. ----------------------- How Cruel Stickin' It X2 Stickin' It 2aridia |

Well then, be sure to bounty and send me hatemail next time I land a gank on you or your friends. I also appreciate a vintage bottle of '82 Carebear Tears if you're feeling so inclined.

Playing a Game is fun, killing people for no reason for most people its a an horrific thing.
You shouldnt really compare game and RL tbh, if being a goody goody were fun then we'd all be that.
tbh i always feel its the other way around, the anti-pirates / alliances are the evil ones, were just doing darwins work.

I love how people look at an artificially structured social environment that rewards predatory or at least aggressive behavior over altruism by at least 2:1 and declare with absolute certainty that this is proof that Hobbes was right.
Probably makes you sound cool down at Starbuck's though. ___________________________________________

That's what i always think when the Death Star blows on Star Wars. Over a million of poor innocent people wasted by some pathetic rebells. And all cheer because of it

How is it more difficult?
If anything, it should be easier a lot of the time. There are more -10 pirates than -10 anti-pirates (correct me if I'm wrong).
