I was to test the resolve of EVE players, i was a newspaper yesterday when i was enduring my mothers dinner and it had a poll on Online Games overall friendly behaviour
1. WOW - Friendly 2. Guild Wars - Same as Above 3. CSS - Medium 4 X-Box Live - Medium
and it went on and on and on and right at the bottom it had a comment from the lad who actually did the poll
200 or summit - EVE Online - And im going to quote this *Within the game itself the attitude of players seems to be friendly but should you disagree with a player they turn immediately hostile and you are barreled over with abuse, which leads me to the forums, my first forum i saw was nice and friendly, mission forum i belive i then went to what the player base refer to as the *COAD* forum. Here i was disgusted by the pure amount of hatred, smack, abuse, sarcasm, you name it, this forum had it and the worst part was the forum moderators seemed not to care, letting forum threads degenerate into 20+ pages of flames. I must say of all the games i have surveyed EVE Online has to be the worst*
So im asking you as a player base can we please tone down on the hostile behavuiour for just 1 week

A fair point and a noble vision, though I think that ultimately, the thread is still off topic (and thus out of place) for Corporation, Alliances and Organizations Discussion.
I don't know if the other replies thus far are simply ironic, or if they're only serving to reinforce your point. Either way, it's pretty damn sad; a year and a half ago, this was one of the friendliest communities online.

Wait, did you just post something nice in CAOD? You want people to be civil with eachother?
All this thread is going to do is paint one more target on your back for insults. It seems that the CAOD way is to flame, rant and rave about the most insignificant thing. It would be nice if there was a real forum for Alliances to share news and battle reports rather than this cess pool, but hey, this is all we've got.
Fire away CAOD!

Edited by: Lord WarATron on 16/08/2008 09:59:35 The changing of COAD has more to do with people who do not "get" COAD than anything else. Remember WWE matches, were the people would chestbeat before a match? Or even a political broadcast before a election? Its the same thing here.
Usually its Side A vs Side B and if Side B is loosing, then Side B's alts hit the forums to theorycraft etc.
Sometimes Side B does not want to fight to defend 'pvp' territory so Side A has to goad them into doing so. Sometimes its personal history or something else. Sometimes its people doing randome trolls for a laugh since they can easaly manipulate Side A and Side B into making themselves look like fools.
98% of crap would dissapear overnight if people turned up to fight and did not get bitter about loosing. Sadly, in a game where stakes are as high and losses are permanent, that will never happen. --

Oh god is this online or only published in the paper? I want to find the author and milk them of sweet sweet tears so I can auction off said tears to the eve community so they too can taste the perfection of a crying nobody.

The 'hatred', drama and hostile behaviour are CAOD's only redeeming features!
What makes it a cess pitt is the spam (the rickrolls, the 'first' posts, the universally unfunny 'joke' threads, the one liner put downs etc)

Hostile behaviour is what makes eve the best MMO out there...Name another game where if someone smacks me I can go suicide them in high sec.
Not even 10% of the playerbase read these forums btw, probably not even 1% will actually read your post either... _______________

What exactly was the poll measuring. The friendliness on the forums or in game?
No real player would actually go to most of these forums COAD especially and hope for an intelligent or at least a non-flaming reply/opinion.
If the poll was conducted to measure in game helpfulness then he went about it the wrong way. In game people usually answer you positively or at the very least ignore you silently, which is much preferable than being flamed on a forum.
Maybe the old saying "If you can't write anything nice, don't write anything at all" could be put on the main forum page?
Life is about memories the more the better.

I'd really lie to see that article, as I believe the surveyor is full of crap. WoW is not a friendly community. If he says EvE is hostile he should look into Lineage 2. Ragnarok online, now there's a friendly place to be. Aweseomenessness |

Guy rates the level of hostility and politeness of players games with no actual loss or consequence and is shocked that people can be mean to each other in one where loss is tangible...
This is a non-article. There are two solutions really if the words on CAOD hurt you.
1) Don't read CAOD. 2) Don't read CAOD.
I'd be shocked that anyone cares what some carebear muppet who wrote an article somewhere thinks, but then I look at how most people play this game and understand.
