Make up your mind, is it a game or is it real life? |

This is entertainment, not a real war (if that starts to blur in your mind, seek help). Some people celebrate holidays with their families. Some play games. Some do both. I'm not going to tell others what they should do with their free time and I'd like to think that attitude is prevalent amongst most adults. |

This is a game where players can lose years of progress in 2 days. By not pushing pause, you ARE telling them what to do (at least if they want to play the "important" part of the game).
Two years in two days? Maybe. If another corp has to wait until you're not there to take your district(s), chances are they're not good enough to actually defend it when you come back. Besides, think of all the fun you'll have finding out 
In the end it doesn't matter, when CCP turns the servers off (at some stage in the future it will happen) everyone will lose everything anyway  |

I'm not going to tell others what they should do with their free time and I'd like to think that attitude is prevalent amongst most adults. My mind is very clear, sir. That's is exactly what i was referring to. In a REAL war there was a break on a holiday. So why does it matter there is a break in a Non-real war?
I know of a ton of people that play games on global holidays. They're normally in the military or associated fields. Hell I've been on duty in a remote training camp for the last two Christmases in a row. Can't drink while you're on duty (well, you don't if you want to keep your job), so besides going for a quick run, having a barbecue and skyping my family, I did nothing but play games  |

It doesn't matter. It takes days for us to take a planet from a corp that only fields 7 in defense. If it is a real rival, it's just not fun.
I still can't see it happening. In a large global corp, there will always be someone online to defend. If not, well..it sucks, but you'll have to deal with it when the time comes. I can see your point, but I don't see why CCP would go for it. Maybe they will.....good luck with that. |

Hence, you're a casual gamer. PC isn't intended for the casual crowd. No, that's called someone who has a life and relationships in the real world... Hardcore gamers can have those too....
Not really. Take the original Grand Marshall/High Warlord grind in WoW (sorry for bringing it up, but it's relevant). Unless you cheated you had to actually be incredibly dedicated to get it done. Back then, I unplugged my phone, moved a fridge and microwave within reach of the computer, slept for no more than half an hour at a time (on a couch next to the computer) and took bathroom breaks only when I was queued. Took about 4 days. That's the standard I hold hardcore players to, anything else is just casual. These days I'm a casual (plus what I did was stupid and dangerous). |
