Wow, I put as much time into working with this community as I can because I want to see the game succeed. I trawl through ancient posts in the Rookie Training Grounds looking for new players who didn't get answers to their questions and I respond or I hit them up in-game and squad with them to show them the ropes.

I run every playstyle I can to get a feel for what's working and what isn't so I can contribute from a position of knowledge. I blew my KDR to hell testing damage on weapons to make spreadsheets to share.

While I'm at work, I lurk in IRC and bring information from there to the forums to inform people who can't follow the chat all the time, waiting for dev to drop some info.

Frankly, it's hurtful and insulting when all of that work is dismissed on the basis of a tag below my name which a pointless and rationally unstable justification for a bias.

No, it's based on reading Zitro's shitposting along with other Imperfects who sit there and brag about how great they are and how their opinions are the only one who matters.

Fix your own ranks if you want to be taken more seriously.

His corp's reputation is founded on how they have treated others; by associating with them he assumes that reputation. Fact of life, in the real world and online. Accept it for what it is, change it (never heard of him so not sure how much his "good deeds" are seen), or associate with someone who has a better image. Those are the choices.

Prove that you "elite players" don't have a more important opinion than everyone else in the game? Or prove that the whining is just whining?

There are a few bad things about this build, but you idiots keep ranting like 5 year olds who are yelling at their teacher to only listen to them because they made the prettiest finger painting to the point where it's obnoxious. Add on to that that this build, while not perfectly balanced, is nowhere near as off base as you all make it to be, which just makes it more difficult to take any of you seriously.

still see a troll

Take for example Sota Pop, who just made a wild swing at Zion because he was so hurt about one comment another guy made. Maybe if he defied the stereotype (and all the other Imps with this problem) then it would fade. He makes his corp look like pricks with his comment, and it would do him well to stop if he really cared about his corp's PR.

Not sure where I put words into your mouth, I stated that you were right about most people being trolls, then didn't reference your words again.

It's filled with the truth. I guess the truth is contemptible. People associated to you treat people badly, and the populous' opinion of those people will be associated with you, too. You will notice the "change it" part of his comment, so he believes you can be viewed differently if you ("you" meaning your entire corp) make an effort to change it.

I feel so used.

anywho i have come to the conclusion that im done messing with the imps got my own corp to think about , but i will always be an anti complainer type guy

yeah im sure i bash on every complaining thread anyway done wit this thread


Nstomp

I'm not suddenly leaping into the fray to defend the Imperfects since joining them, I've always made it quite clear that the forum community's response to the tag was fairly transparently biased in my opinion.

Given the inclination to view the group as only capable of trolling, QQing and negativity it's no wonder that you maintain this worldview, however my opinion is based on joining the group for myself so I am not speaking from a position of ignorance and can actually assess the qualities of each of the members by interacting with them as human beings, rather than making sweeping judgments based on popular opinion and the negative filter that popular opinion places over future interactions.

Or care what ya give...

I troll cause I like to so now that others are starting to accept it I just don't find it fun anymore so anytime I can come in and poke here and poke there is cool but as far as trying to join the elite trollers... just isn't for me.

Well you know what, guys, and I don't know about you but to me this Mithri dude reminds me of Forrest Gump and I'm gonna tell you guys exactly why he reminds me of Forrest Gump. he's lacking just enough in the social department for a guy like me to notice And Mithri if you're reading this, dude, take this in the wrong way, bro, what I'm talking about here Is the community being rational for giving him **** because of the corp he's in You see people are expecting you to be the most moronic person. Asking for people to be friendly to you, just because you are a great guy? I mean c'mon, man, let's be realistic here: It's not gonna happen.

I haven't read this thread past the first page. But honestly this whole forum community is one of the most hostile, needlessly antagonistic and frankly assholeish communities I've been a part of. It's rubbed off on me a bit too and I'm slightly worse of a human being from being a part of it.

But it's fun and it kills time at work. So yeah. Plus a good villian is fun. Imps are like the Miami heat. Good but whiney and unlikable.

Welcome to New Eden, where even the forums are PVP!

Come for the tears, stay for the trolls.

PS. We're assholes because we care <3
