FIRST QUESTION :
What is that mean ?
SECOND AND BIGGER QUESTION :
What is wrong with @Aiko_Danuja ‘s comment that “ DISTURBED COMMUNITY “ ?
It means the game was a ■■■■■ to learn. Another way of saying it was difficult to learn. As for your second question, I don’t know. Maybe her comment was hidden because he wasn’t saying anything exist?

The white squares ARE mildly infuriating. I imagine that is even more difficult if English isn’t your first language.

I have some “squires” in my terminology too… lol
But i think i do understand the usage of the word . But still sounds bad on public forum.
Everybody has their own style man…
Do you know why mostly male bullying victims doesnt report ?
Or do you know why males much more rarely report if they are sexually abused compared to females ?
Do you know the reason and key personal aspects what makes some man “ let the world know it “
And what makes some man “ hide it”
This bias of yours makes you hard to understand ,.Get over it .
That tone of yours caused reactions .
Sounded like you wishing them leave “silent “ .” Do not express how you think and feel”
“You are not importat! “
“Nobody cares if you leave “ “not ccp not other players “

No, those are my opinions of them, not Mike’s.
They are more than likely liars, and if not, they are crybabies.
Do other games suffer from this? Do people feel the need to fill the forums and such of other games with attention seeking gurns?
I don’t think so. They just did not understand the game . It is very different than many other games in the market. And so many people start trying EvE Online as a new game with different amount of experienes from different profile games… As a result they have kind of round idea already which mostly does not fit for EvE. So they react.
Yes they do … but i dont think that much and definately not the same reasons .
Some people coming from games with a highly active and mass crowded forums… And they are much more accustomised to use forums .
For EvE majority of the players doesn’ t active in forums.
It was last year i sugested to CCP to link EvE Online Forums to Rookie Help channel MOTD .
I have met so many new players who doesnt know this place exist … And people who did not habited to use these type of platforms will not seek for it neither habited to use it .
Possibly the ones who come here and write they are from the first line who coming from games with very active community forum cultures.
I have seen and aye witnessed 100 times more olayers rage quit in game but never reflected here.
And i was rereading and answering Mike ‘ s OP when i have been writing my prior post.
And so it is their fault for not researching the game properly.
How does a person who does not know anything about a game become so interested that they play, lose and are emotional to the point of saying the game is broken?
Its old hyperbole here but it is like playing Monopoly when you are used to Chess and are upset other players can buy things you cannot, and charge you for landing on their squares.
It is like writing an angry letter to Hasbro because you cannot live rent free on Pall Mall.

It goes that way easier if the game is free and quick download. They see that famous EvE video may be ? The one witch cinamatic view with ingame voice footage… i know people who even priding themselves to never do tutorials lol… what kind of research also ? They can sit and read about exploration, mining and explore that famous chart without knowing that where and how they can loose their assets…
I don’ t think any of them begin to search in google by writing are losses real in eve ? Does griefing allowed in Eve? What happens if i get scammed ?
Possibly that was not the situation in many other games they play before like run back and cover your body and gear….
All these can be prevent with great amount by right and effective framing …i have explained that in “ Letter to CCP “ post .i did even give an example …
we all empose these easily preventable things officially for nothing… Both players who leave this beautifull game in early stage… and us emposing these posts, more importantly loosing blood before they truly get into circulation … like in ouroboros example
CCP is luring people with false promises instead of advertising EvE’s real strength in fear of losing people before they try. That’s a mistake in my opinion, because I doubt people who really quit and blame the game for losing something because their lack of knowledge, could be retained for EvE long term. It just creates “bad press”.
We need more people who want to play EvE because of its nature.

When people give the reasons why they are quitting it does make a difference. Knowing the reasons helps CCP and the Eve community. (I’m not saying a rant is the best way to give the reason, I’m just saying the reason itself is important)
It is very simple - because CCP does in fact (sometimes) look at people reasons for quitting. Proven fact.
When CCP sees a big enough problem they do act. One example is a while back when CCP looked at the reasons why many new players left the game soon after joining. As a result they changed the rules for starting systems
So giving the reason helps CCP to see problems and make changes. Which is good for the game and all of us.
Another reason I personally know that CCP does look at what players say when they leave is long ago when I took a break from Eve I got a message asking why I stopped my subscription. Even though it was just a short break they still asked me.
When someone posts their reasons in the forum it also helps other players because everyone can see the advice and information given.
Some people are reluctant to start a discussion on the forums (which I totally understand due to the flaming etc) - but when someone else starts the topic they feel more comfortable to share that they have the same reasons. And then CCP can see a bigger picture of how many people are affected by the same thing.
Of course that does not mean CCP looks at each and every post. Nor will they change the game each time someone leaves. But they do look at some of the posts at least.
When people speak up CCP can see that people are unhappy and why. It opens a chance that there will be improvements to the game. But if everyone stays quiet it takes away that chance.

This ! Absolutely this !
There are reasons why we also love this game …
Things makes this game different than many others in the market !
And these reasons must be upfront presented. This is also part of “Framing “
And i will keep mentioning this.
It takes honesty!
. And it provide us more conscious players from the first moment .

I share that same opinion. Eve advertisements should give fair warning that the challenge is real and quite different from most other (big) games. This is not WoW or GW with spaceships. It’s the New Eden jungle in which the player is dropped, an almost entirely lawless environment where “eat or be eaten or learn to avoid to be eaten” is the reality. PvP is the daily reality in EvE, in all aspects - and that is currently not a theme in the ads.
“We’re the toughest, baddest game out there, with the toughest, baddest community” sounds of course blatantly elitist but it holds enough truth and honesty to be used by advertisers and marketeers. The question is if CCP wants to position itself that way, or rather let everyone in at their own risk and let Bob sort the wheat from the chaff, so as not to scare anyone away needlessly and prematurely. It’s a fine line CCP has to walk.
People who were brought up with the belief of “you can do anything and you can be anything” are in for a rude awakening in this game - but better here than in real life. It takes real effort in EvE and only a few become space emperors. There’s a lot of truth in “EvE is Life”.
If CCP would run an ad saying “Are you a coward ? This game is not for you” it would attract pvp oriented gamers and probably prevent the industrial types from joining. If they run two ads, the second one saying “Are you resourceful enough to strike gold ?” they could perhaps attract both sides of the equation. As so many people start off in mining related activities they should be aware they’re not going for a safe job in a well established and policed mining facility, but rather in a gold diggers’ town in the middle of the desert, with lethal wildlife and rampaging desperadoes. Honesty will attract the right people for this game. The question is if the publisher wants only the right people.

you did that one?
Nah it is an actual official ad for EVE and much better representing what the game is about and what people should expect of it.

That’s an old ad but that is how CCP should still advertise the game, just like in the old butterfly and consequences trailers.
