We all know that the word "fail" is used extensively in a lot of online communities, guys. Stuff like: u fail. fail this. fail that. epic fail. People like to call others out when they don't succeed on something and I don't know about you, guys, but I think that's BS. On top of that, man, I think the people who use these phrases a lot are afraid of trying to be great themselves! You see, guys, what got me thinking about this whole matter is the fact that when I come to Dust 514 forums, man, I see a lot people saying stuff like: "I can't wait to see CCP fail!" or "CCP is a fail company!" What really pisses me off about this whole fail movement is the negativity, man, cause you guys know I'm a positive guy!

Let's talk about CCP for a moment cause we're on Dust 514 forums after all. These are guys who created EVE online from nothing just by having a vision, putting in the hours, working without pay sometimes and believing in the product, man! And, guys, they made all of this while working on a game that nobody else believed has a snowball's chance in hell, because it was the kind of game that had never been done before, and they had some pretty tough competitors working on somewhat similar games. Now they're trying to do something new and groundbreaking again with Dust 514. And some of you guys are calling these guys out for "failing"... I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks that's both weird AND ****** up!

At the end of the day, guys, I guess you could say someone fails at making a game when the game doesn't make a lot of money, but the only way one can fail at life is by never trying to go out there on the line of fire, and trying to do something hard! So stop calling people "fails", stop watching fail compilations and most importantly stop being afraid of failure. Instead of that, look at the people who have succeeded (like CCP) and go out there and be successful yourself.

Wierd.

Lodes of epic fail troll threads today.

Mast be a fool moon.

Edit: spelling eras on porpoise.

+1
And if I can add..

Way to many are taking a video game like this one to seriously. It-¦s like the fun factor disappears and something else takes over. People get obsessed in some ways. There are so many people on this forum who need to get a life.

Relax. Lay back and enjoy the game. If not then there is plenty of other games out there to look at.

Nice post Ric.
It's always easier to destroy something than to create something. Since many folks here don't have any hope of being able to create something they will work to tear down the efforts of others to make themselves feel better.

You sir, are a beacon of positivity in these here forums. Now please forward this to your CRONOS alliance mates QQ-ing about PC timers

+1 to you Ric.

The negativity is getting insane. Constructive critism is good but all this hate and waaaaaaaaaaah!!! Is a bit much.

Wierd.

Loads of epic fail troll threads today.

Must be a fool moon.

Edit: spelling error on purpose.

You spelled 'weird' wrong on purpose?

How clever.

So you didn't notice "fool" instead of "full"? Or "error" instead of "errors"?

Or my post on the previous page highlighting them far better than you had.

Sorry, but your overloaded post didn't warrant the attention; though, since you felt the need to post a second "look at me!" response here, I see I need to acknowledge you to avoid witnessing a tantrum.

Can't make fun of others if you can't make fun of yourself first.

This concept is lost on some people. They're too fragile to make fun of themselves so they circumvent that step and just make fun of others to make themselves feel big and strong.

But then, what do I know?

I do know that I hope CCP succeeds in the longterm, though IMHO, they need to be more open with the community instead of being open with only certain segments of the crowd (**cough**IRC**cough**) and expecting that trickledown and occasional posts by Devs on their forums is "good communication".

Moderation =/= Communication.

See the ps3 console community doesn't know CCP, they know EA, Ubisoft, Activison Etc... Basically console developers. They have no clue there use to day one dlc, $60 retail price, $150 special edition, and season pass lol.

The Eve folks like myself knows how CCP operates. Those who stick with dust for the long haul will reap it's benefits, just like the Eve vets who stuck around Eve thru it's up's and downs.

I remember the days when when Eve Online had a **** ton of problems and people kept saying that it's "adapt or die" nature will be its downfall. That was back in 2008 when I first started.
