WALL OF TEXT WARNING
This is my personal opinion. I don't talk for my corp or alliance. I probably should have made an alt for this, but I can't be arsed anymore.
There is a lot of EON hate going on around the forums. Let's make a quick list of the "crimes" they are accused of, and see why it's stupid to call them out for them:
-They have too many corps: All alliances had a lot of corps at the start of PC, and all alliances tried to get as many good corps as they could. Eon just chose the right ones.
-They made a blue donut at some point: It's called diplomacy. It's a legit tactic and part of the meta that I don-Št understand, but everyone says they love.
-They ride on Teamplayer's coat tails: Whoever says that, has never played against Red Star, Sinergy, Not Guilty, etc... Fight them and you will find that TP is just the best corp, in a group of very good corps.
-They are bullies that attack small corps/alliances: Right. Since there are not any big alliances anymore, Eon should just pubstomp in the 2 most boring game modes ever all day, and abstain themselves from having any fun match. Sure. Get real please.
-They act like pricks: Some of them do. However, there are pricks in all alliances/corps. I don't think that if CRONOS, LOI, NF or even ROFL where in EON's shoes, they would behave better. This game brings out the worst of some people, and CCP encourages the community to wallow in the mud.
-They don't allow competition to grow: This is just stupid, but merits a longer answer. The lack of competition is the fault of both CCP and the playerbase.
* CCP is at fault for designing a game mode that is flawed from the start. Logistics don't matter, A teams can play all day everywhere, there really is no point in having more than 2-4 districts, Molden Heath is too small, the SP system don't allow to replace quickly veteran players/corps that leave the game, etc... None of that is Eon's fault, but CCP.
* And the players are at fault because, for all their talk about competition and war, most people don't want to compete. They only want to win. A corp/alliance is defeated 4 or 5 days in a row, and suddenly it's all "the game is not fun", "they are all using flaylocks", "the lag is terrible", "we are pulling out of PC", "we surrender".....
The lag has always been terrible, and the game has never been fun, but that wasn't a problem while you were winning, right?  EON can't kill a competition that never existed. It's not their fault that their enemies fold after a couple of defeats. (CRONOS excepted)
So don't blame Eon for playing the game properly. Blame CCP for making a boring game that is not even close to what they promised, and blame a playerbase that for all their talk about competition, is made mostly of carebears. This is where the real problem lies.
TL;DR
This is not an attempt to get on good terms with Eon. God knows that some of them hate our guts, and we are being attacked by them.That's ok. Win or lose we will get some fights, and if we lose all districts, we will just try to get another asap. Because that's the only point of planetary conquest. To fight.
I just wrote this because it is stupid to see so many people sperging hate just because Eon played this mode properly. So, Eon's real crime is to have played Planetary Conquest better than any other alliance. And apparently, as a lolreward, they should stop playing or disband? As if that would solve anything.
So why make threads about EON or other corps attacking this and that. This game is supposed to be about wars and fights. So why complain when you get them? |
