Do you think people really get pissed over fighting video game wars over video money and video game land. and if people do then its time to step outside and see real life for a change.
You must not play Eve. :P
The truth is that the Eve guys in Tso's are actually thrilled that Kain stabbed us in the back (and we all knew it was coming anyway). Most of us were extremely unhappy with being paid in Monopoly-Money to orbit beacons for hours on end when they usually weren't resulting in any interesting fights. The Eve guys were getting nothing out of our relationship with Kain, and a lot of us were so frustrated because of it that it was reaching the point where whenever C00kie logged onto comms he was bombarded with a dozen people asking "Can we shoot NF yet?".
This right here is a perfect example of the terrible attitude that Tso's Eve side has towards Dust. Dust ISK is "Monopoly money" and being the primary source of district sat content was a seen as a hassle. Just know if you are on the ground working with Tso above they aren't looking down on you just because they are in space.
Ivar +1 dude. I think you are right the culture clash was going to be the eventual undoing of the relationship. I mean if the attitude if most of the guys in space is that a Dusters are a burden and not content providers it's not going to work out in the long run.
From the perspective of an average Eve player, give me one benefit to owning districts in Dust. We're expected to drop everything we'd rather be doing at the whim of Dust players and orbit beacons all day, and what do we get in return? It's a one-way relationship. We are vital to you winning matches, but you are useless to us.
You see, the disconnect between Eve players and Dust players is entirely CCP's fault. If CCP created a stronger, mutually-beneficial link between the two games, Eve players would be more motivated to fight over districts.
EDIT: I should also note that the main problem was that we weren't even orbiting beacons to help our own alliance. We are far more motivated now that all of our OB support is helping our own Dusties.
