It's not that hard to really not understand. Eve is a mmo. mmo communities are like anime communityes to me. no matter what anime you like, you all come together to enjoy anime.
FPS games (like PS2) Are like gladiator games. Think football. It's.... more complicated. Just liking football doesn't mean you can stick ravens and patriots fans in the same room and expect it to go smoothly. different genres man. People take their teams to heart. And FPS games, players take their battles to heart.
But you can have mutual common ground. and many do. But I see nothing wrong in it. FPS are not building anything. They are what they are. Arenas for the battle of the gods. |

EVE is an MMO the sense of community is in the center of any successful MMO - players identify themselves as citizens of whatever virtual world they play in.
Dust is an FPS, it attracts and foster players who are aggressive and competitive a lot of whom are also pretty young - teens and very early 20s. If you throw an untoward monetization system in our case F2P that skews the balance of this competitive environment, you end up with a lot of angry ppl.
Surely this is readily apparent to you, no?
Damn.. missed your post. would have saved me time in writing my own post that's pretty much saying the same. lol
Different genres. with different communities. |

Everyone is an ******** till you're on comms working together, its much the same when meeting other players at an event. That's true in some cases, but I can personally attest to the fact that it isn't so in all cases.
Yeah.. same here. I've seen fist fights erupt in some FPS gatherings. |

I like my FPS communities. It's just like any gladiator game/sport community. Boxing... Football... MMA. My enjoyment in FPS games is competition, so it's cool to be around like minded players. Has that good old tavern feeling to it. Yeah, you have some jack asses, but that's true in all communities.
We are a tough lot, but every player is a warrior by their own right, and gets respected as much. To get **** talked by another player just shows you got noticed that much by that player. We can talk **** about our game as much as we want, BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT.
We share some tactics and advise, weapons of choice, but their really is not "For the moment weapons" Every one plays with their own gun skill, and with the weapon they are comfortable with. So you see a large variation of weapons on the field.
We talk about previous FPS games and those battles that were epic. And we QQ about close battles lost. We are maybe just as passionate or I dare say more then any other genre. We don't intentionally go to build a community like mmo players do, because our bonds are made and strengthen through FIRE AND BRIMSTONE. Battles won and lost are what builds our community.
I wouldn't trade none of FPS brothers that I've met here or there, for anything. even the ones that QQ more then others. lol |
