What topics do YOU hate having to explain over and over again to new players of EVE?
My personal nemesis is the difference between the medical clone and the jump clone.
The runner up? Explaining how to buy jump clones and how you can't have two in the same station... ---

Anything that uses risk vs reward as an argument. It's freaking mentally degenerated to use risk for calculating reward. Simply because risk is not a constant. If you have half a brain or at least a functioning vertebrate you will do your best to minimize risk. So risk turns into effort. Minimum effort required for a reward can be pretty much defined. The risk not.
All risk vs reward arguments are wrong.
I don't even read those anymore.

I don't mind at all explaining things to new players, it's when i see the same topic hundreds of times by OLD players that i get a bit of an uncomfortable feeling in my "angry gland"
Now hand over the thread and move away. |

Edited by: Hardened Heart on 24/01/2009 19:02:49 I DEMAND DEV BLOGS! The new expansion is months away, I demand scraps of inconclusive information that I can draw wild, pointless conclusions about them and post about them as though the world were ending!
And what the **** is up with the winter expansion?!? Not a single dev blog on it! OMG **** this game, I quit; eve and life! (click) (boom)
...
And any post in which the argument brings up your 'rights' about a video game. Especially when the e-lawyers come out. Watching six hours of Law and Order does not make you knowledgeable about legal matters or even intelligent. Even if three of the six episodes were Special Victims Unit. |

EVE is dying.
Someone was mean to me.
I'm quitting.
Space isn't colorful!
Where do I find blah music blah blah blah?
Skill queue.
How do I make ISK?
Why is EVE fun?
CCP personally has stabbed me in the back by providing me with entertainment... err... |

I never get tired of explaining how a graphics modeller is not usually able to fix Python or C++ code. And the concept of the mythical man month. That one never gets old either. I could spend many a long winter evening explaining those topics and never get tired of it. Ever.

My most hated topic is usually "When is this game coming out" on various internet forums over the years.
And stupid tech threads. "I waz playing Wow yesterday wen I wanted to have more fps for the winz. Please tell me how to do dis." Or worse: "MAH PC IS BLUESCREENIN!!!!!!!! HALP". ________________________________________________

Edited by: Antimony Noske on 24/01/2009 21:50:29 Seeing as how I'm with a group of a hundred or so people who just signed up to eve in the last couple days, I think I can safely say most questions are [in no order]:
1. Is it safe to fly to ______ 2. Do we have a fleet up? 3. Where do I go to sign up for the corp? 4. Where's the fleet at? 5. How do I know what I'm supposed to orbit at? 6. What race should I pick? 7. Can I be ______ race? 8. What should I do, industry or combat? 9. How do you use drones? 10. How do I target someone? 11. What should I train the learning skills to? 12. I have 3 million isk, should I bring a cruiser to the fleet? 13. How do I make money? 14. What's the best ship? 15. Should I use ______ weapons on my ship? 16. What's the difference between PVE and PVP tanking? 17. Can I do trade runs? 18. Are we all in one system, where is everybody? 19. Is there a thread up? 20. How do you get to 8.0 standing if you're in 0.0 space? 21. Who's interested in a mining op today? 22. Why would you have a jump clone in Jita? 23. What are we supposed to mine? 24. What should I do? 25. Where's the corporation headquarters?

I want your children. They shall aid me in explaining these concepts to real people who bother me incessantly regarding these same matters. They shall also provide me with a steady supply of banana milkshakes.
*edit*
The various repeated "FIX THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH IT OR REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT DEALING WITH IT REQUIRES GROUP COOPERATION" threads in the Features & Ideas forum. Being that I want to aid in helping this game become more complex, it is rather frustrating to have to read through some of those threads and repeat my opinion on something, so that another player may finally get a cl00.
As a result I spread myself fairly thinly on the forum now :/ ---

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 24/01/2009 22:36:02 Personally I despise any ideas that only buff high sec, and I really hate any comment that includes the phrase "you can't make me do __whatever__". That statement is true, taken by itself, but every time I see it it's always in the context of "nerfing high sec will make me go to low sec and you can't make me do that". In that case the statement is flawed on all fronts tbh.
Oh yeah, and "if you need to ask, you're not ready for __whatever__". That one always chafes me for some reason. Everyone's gotta ask at some point, unless they've got the ISK for LOTS of trial-and-error.

I don't even read those anymore.
The way people present the risk v. reward topic may be flawed from time to time, but most of the time they appear is during a discussion that's otherwise relevant to the state of the game. I mean, arguing that the ability to earn 20-30 million ISK in an hour of mission running that poses no danger to an even semi-competent person doesn't become invalid as soon as someone mentions an imbalance of risk and reward, IMO. |

Generally, how TCPip works and how "the server" isnt 100% the problem, but the service is.

I'm slowly getting tired of explaining to people that a lot of crashing issues can be fixed by setting "Present Interval" to "Interval One"...
And explaining over and over that "premium lite" won't mean the end of Eve for most people...

When someone comes along and *****es about how CCP know nothing about anything, and they're so awesome that they've figured out how to use Excel, and clearly that's totally the right tool for the job of running the EVE cluster.
Also: I AM QUITTING thread. And: I AM BACK threads.

Oh and edit for topic: Nerf (ship/item of the month) whines because they can't afford to own it too.
Don't forget the "they('re) Nerfed/ing xxxx, I'm emo-rage-quitting!" threads that compare closely to the ones you speak of (I think people have shup up about the nano and missile things now haven't they?) |

I get really sick of the "zomgs ccp u sux this expansions crap and new stuffs is crap, impr0v3 what we gotz cause its crap and this just makes blobs mor ccp u suk why blobz."
Seriously, what the ****? Blobs are player-made using player mentality, and they blame CCP for it. FFFF-.
Altho a fair few things are pretty annoying, the whole "people working on the trinity graphics should be stopping the lag" bit the dev mentioned earlier is pretty irritating too.
