Actually it more stems from the fiasco created by this:

http://www.eveonline.com/capsuleers/jita-riots/

And also the misunderstanding that somehow EVE devs are being retasked as DUST devs and thus taking away future content from the EVE game.

The other part is that EVE Online players are a much more mature demographic (I want to say like average age is over 25, but not sure) and they see the console as a toy for impatient little kids that like to play twitch games.

Obviously none of the above is true, but you asked what was up.

Oh and lastly, the EVE community is full of very thick skinned and derogatory players that eat their own young at times. So the motto HTFU definitely applies.

Honestly, it probably behooves us to start putting some positive engagements in the EVE forum.

I found that when I meet EVE pilots, particularly the first time they are dragged out to help drop some orbitals for us, they come away with a very different perspective of what Dust is. More accurately what Dust is becoming (granted it's slower than many of us would like).

Some EVE pilots actually started a chat channel for FW and it's getting pretty popular during the big FW pushes. Some of them are actively looking to start Dust Corps as holding companies or access point for future revenue. Essentially covering their bets and building an initial network of contacts in the merc community.

Basically, once you engage with them and particularly if you get them to listen in to a chat channel during a battle many are much more open to working with us and promoting our corner of New Eden.

You know, I used to play EVE, and know that I think back on it, I see your points are valid...but so help me, if they get Dust ***-canned, I swear the worst pirate New Eden has ever seen will start his rise to power very shortly afterward

Well, I'm glad at least some of them are receptive. I quit EVE before Dust, so I only know what I read on the EVE forums
I'll keep this in mind when I finally get around to starting a corp. Thank you.

People resist change. Add in a healthy dose of internet anonymity and you get what you read.

CCP doesn't cave to minority whines about much, so I'm not worried about capsuleers crying their way into dust closure. Nerds everywhere have been wailing and gnashing their teeth about it being on PC, PS4 and yet, here we are. Either people will play (and pay for) the game or they won't - this will decide what happens to dust.

If you really want to reach out to eve players, don't bother with the forums. Try to find FW corps interested in dust mercs.
