I have not seen that happen so far. I have mentioned to other in game that I am an eve player and I have yet to run into anyone who threatened to gut me like a fish because of that. I have however seen plenty of people threaten others to gut them like a fish in game for either being idiots or just disregarding orders.

But the point you made is what I am trying to bring awareness to. We have far too many people here on both sides of the fence (fps players and eve players alike) who are just too damn concerned about their e-pride rather than working towards a common goal we all share. But if enough players from both sides of the fence truly love the game and want the game to be truly unique and better than everything else, then it will be within their best interest to work together and bring down that fence.

As to the person who posted about some carpenter being nailed onto some wood 2000 years ago: he knew what he was getting into but that sure didn't stop him.

@Crimson,

The Evetards as you so put it, do not speak on my behalf just like how the FPS epeen idiots do not speak on your behalf. But that doesn't mean you are obligated to stoop to their level just as I am not obligated to do that either.

I have no personal beef with you or the fps crowd. I am merely wanting to bring down the divide that separates you and I so that we can work together and make Dust a great game. But if you wish to continue the personal bickering just like the Evetards or just like the FPS Epeen forum warriors, then this discussion between you and me is over.

Most of it honestly is console guys coming in and saying dumb stuff like " add killstreaks " "run faster with a knife" "put jets in the game", etc. These ideas are understandably getting flamed, righteously.

Then you have eve players (such as myself) , asking to put things in that are actually IN eve. The flaming is inevitable because you have a more patient, mature playerbase arguing with another playerbase who wants another fast paced twitch shooter piece of garbage.

Haha you definitely need more brains to play EvE then a numpty fps like cod. The reason why i put you all in the same category is because its the people in that category that are requesting the stupidest things, aka killstreaks. Them you have a bunch of idiots saying they'll friendly fire all the eve guys in dust. You can call me ignorant if you want but I really don't care, most of the good ideas are coming from eve players because they actually know New Eden, whereas people coming from a twitch shooter are offering recycled ideas from previous games theyve played.

Uh.... Calling an fps gamer an fps gamer is racist? You'd make a horrible lawyer.

When presented with fact you resort to playing the racist card. Either a bad troll or just really dumb.

When it comes to all the arguing EVE vs FPS, KB&M vs DS3, PC vs Console: If you want to make an omelet you have to brake some eggs, and as far as I understand it, CCP is attempting something that has never been attempted before.
Naturally, the FPS elite will say fail because DUST is too slow or too RPG like - if it does not meet their usual expectations, lets blame the nasty and arrogant EVE players. On the other side of the barricade the vocal minority , mostly null-sec fascists, say fail because they are afraid that their precious chaos and anarchy is being threaten by some more chaos - yes EVE is full of such paradoxes and I guess that's what makes it so fun.

I think the there is no real creativity without some creative tension, you cannot discover new possibilities if you don't risk the impossible - Unfortunately, to the surface observer this unfamiliar pattern usually feels as something wrong.

The problem there is how to keep the tension beneficial. Not too long ago, we just had Eve and FPS players going at each others throats over petty differences. If tension is needed, then we have to make sure that it's the good tension. Otherwise Dust will tear itself apart before it is even finished.
