Ultimately, my point is this...
Everyone talks **** about games made for "Casuals" because they somehow drag down online gaming with their stupidity. Or some **** like that.
But the reality is, it is exactly the type of people who play and enjoy the "Meta" of games like EvE and Dust that drag down online gaming.
there is a difference between Playing a game like CoD in which the point is to technically do an evil deed to another player. That is the only choice given in that game. Until the person takes advantage of glitches, with all the effects that stem from that.
Compared to the PVP that takes place in New Eden. Which is truly beyond the boundaries of the game world in terms of the "Meta". The only game where losing something could possibly actually lead to player commiting suicide. I can see something like that happening in a game like this. I would never get that angry. But, I cannot speak for all Half a Million of your users.
Honestly, EVE wouldn't have anything to blow up if it weren't for the kind people who weren't obsessed with PVP and just played the game because they enjoyed it. People who are very into games aren't really ruining games, and especially not EVE. Despite what you hear about the game, most of the playerbase is in highsec, and nullsec is a deserted wasteland save for a few mining ops and the random fleet looking for their enemy to go shoot at. Lowsec is scary, but no more so than any open PvP area in any older game, for instance, Ultima Online or Runescape. Its not ideal, but you can make trillions without ever harming a single other person, in any manner.
I'm truly sorry that you've had so many jerks saying that liking other kinds of games are for casuals, but those people are not what makes the gaming community at large, and certainly not New Eden. Just, those are the kinds of people who are the most vocal. Be it gankers in EVE, way too serious guilds in WoW, way too competitive and trashtalking clans in Halo, or whatever have you. The rest of us are content to play our games, make friends, do our own thing, and thusforth. I hope that wherever you go next, you'll be treated more kindly, because no one who isn't outright harming another person deserves to be ill treated. |

I never played Ultima Online for the very fact it had nearly unregulated PVP.
Runescape.... uhhhh.... NO!
I've dealt with these kinds of games before. They are, all the same.
You play, for the sole purpose that one day, you can take your advantage and camp at a bottleneck to the "Good Parts of the game" use it against someone at a disadvantage,( usually an extreme disadvantage) for the sole purpose of pissing that random person off.
IE. You play so that one day you can just start greifing other players.
Most News Bulletins coming out of your game, are a testament to this fact.
This game is advertised based on that fact.
I pity all of you.
Then apparently, I and all of my friends have been playing games wrong since our inception in gaming. Since... never once have I ever played a game to enrage someone else. Never have I become high level just to prove some sort of nonexistent superiority to others, or to make those who haven't put in nearly as much time into the game feel bad. I play games to enjoy myself, and online games to share that enjoyment, not to ruin it for others.
Why you see fit to assert your pity over someone who showed both empathy and sympathy with regards to your situation is baffling, and unless its just trolling, I'm at a loss as to how to respond. So, I'll leave you with this post and again the hope that you are treated kinder wherever you go next, and that you might enjoy whatever that is without the vocal minority of griefing jerks ruining it for you. |
