After my 4th incarnation, I guess I'm finally done with EVE.

I think my personality just doesn't jive with EVE, or something. See, I'm a leader, not a follower. I'm the kind of guy who ends up winning, this is true. I'm not the guy who needs people to approve of his actions.

I think EVE's majority is sheep and lemmings. I'm not trolling in the least. I'm being 100% honest based on my experience with the game's community.

See, I tried joining a corp (a few times) and being myself. I get annoyed when people start going on and on and on about mindless drivvel like cookies and pie and fucking hot tubs and whatever other crap they can think up so I say something then WHOOSH every last, mother fucking one of them pile drives me into the fucking virtual concrete like they were waiting, poised, ready for anyone to object to their constant platitudes.

This just happened. Why I'm so pissed right now is simple: I rolled a new character (Lucian Corrino) and was, by default, a member of CAS (le nub corp). I should have remembered the pack mentality these 'tards present. Holy Lord God they're like fucking bees! Like fucking flies on a dead dog, I swear.

They were in the middle of a flirting session, I guess, going on about how they're going to celebrate one another's birthday in EVE with a contracted present or something. It was getting pretty sappy, you know, over the top bullshit. You know what I mean, they're just going on about nothing - all platitudes, no substance. Wasting their fucking lives talking about crap that doesn't matter even to them. They're only fucking going on about it because they NEED to be loved, they need to feel included in the crowd.

So what do I do? Well, of course, I've gotta say something. I said "You guys realize the chances of her being a girl are pretty slim, right?".

Not 1 but 10 of them told me to "drown myself". That's pretty fucking awesome, by the way. How's that awesome, Ked, you ask. I'll tell ya, It's Goddamn awesome that a complete Goddamn stranger can make an honest (and realistic) observation and get told to drown himself.

Bunch 'a fucking followers. Not ONE of them said anything of substance as a response to my statement. Not ONE of them could deviate from the pack's line, so to speak.

Maybe I'm just anti-social but I've pretty much had it with EVE. You guys just aren't my type.

P.S. You can't have my stuff.

P.P.S. I get it already, you think I'm lame for saying I'm going to quit. Don't bother, you'll sound like a tool.

 Edit: I kinda censored it. Kinda.

ssssssssssssttttt we need our slaves

That's some serious butthurt, you couldn't possibly expect better from the EVE equivalent of  barrens chat.

You should have joined a mature corp, or made one with your friends (if you have no friends, you may want to fix that before whining about people)

Tthough judging from your self important attitude you probably got denied entry to any organisations of note.

tl;dr nub corps are full of nubs, in other news water is wet and EC is camped.

(edit: love the censoring though :))

You were doing good up until what I highlighted.

The whole concept of "self importance" is foreign to me.

Seriously, everything anyone ever does is done simply because they need something from someone else. There is no altruism. Ask a psyc or philo major, they'll tell you the same thing. In other words: of course I'm self important - I'm the only one who is me! If you try and say you're not important to yourself then you're fooling yourself or trying to fool everyone else into thinking you're somehow a better animal than the rest of the herd.

Dude that isn't EV E, that's pretty much any MMO I've played.  In LOTRO I turned off all but the guild chat because of that very thing. Endless, mindless chatter about things not even remotely to do with the game.  Like for instance in one 10 minute segment about a car show going on in a city where 3 of the chatters lived.  MMO's attract people who are not interested in the game but in proving how cool they are by mastering any particular game.

  I play for the entertainment value not the maturity level of the other players.  If the maturity level or lack thereof bothered me I would not play MMO's.

Why the hell did you join a group of total strangers? Just leave the base corp.

You dont walk around compton talking to everygroup of crackheads?

The starter corps arnt meant to be used after you have half a clue about the game.

Of course its full of noobs and retards, kauz the rest of the pop joins real corps.

Do you see people running around saying new york sucks because that strip joint 2 miles from the city was full of perverts?

No

If you stay where the retards are chances are you will most likely meet retards, then again if you dont understand something that simple you are prolly not much brighter than these guys.

Thanks for staying constructive.

I guess I'm more amazed at the quickness of which people will pounce on those with differing opinions. I expected a reaction but not that strong and petulent a reaction.

I've seen this VERY same attitude all my life in the following:

In 1996 when I used to chat about computer shit on Lycos.

In 1998-99 in Ultima Online

In 2004+ in WoW, but only in certain channels like trade and when LFG was open to everyone.

You were doing great and I was following you until you decided to be an ass. I didn't "group" up with them, buddy, I was plopped in there like all the other Gallente slobs. I didn't have anything to offer a corp so I didn't bother looking for a corp. I had 56,000 skill points, bucko, not fucking 10 hundred fucking million. Most of the "reputable" corps require people with more skill points so slack-jawed noobs like myself are fucking relegated to the dregs of Goddamn society!

No censoring this time.

lol, I just got yelled at in another thread for being immature and too much of an EVE fanboy.  But mindless chatter in the chat - always going to happen.

Locking - In the future please keep threads and posts constructive.  Thanks!
