Maybe, if you are looking through the glasses of someone who sees PvP as bad, then maybe I am implying. However for a normal person, I have said no such thing.

(Quanticfoundry, 2016) A better question is “how can we make eve an option for both types of players?”. The answer to this is by giving specific area’s of the game an assigned purpose by default. You can read a short blog about why pvp systems like eve do not work well here: [https://massivelyop.com/2019/02/07…](https://massivelyop.com/2019/02/07/vague-patch-notes-why-the-social-penalty-for-open-pvp-in-mmos-never-works/)

In the linked post, you write:

_Im getting close. I found some vague statements claiming things like_

> The largest 14.1% of male is motivated to play competition, followed by 11.9% of male who plays for destruction. (Quanticfoundry, 2016)

So you reference that study to because you think those 14,1% and 11,9% is a minority and supports your claim of PvP being a minority motivation for players, while in reality that [study](https://quanticfoundry.com/2016/12/15/primary-motivations/) concluded those aspects to be the primary ones for males.

Don’t try to weasel your way out with _“I never linked a study”_, when you clearly referenced it. Kinda ironic considering, you called me dishonest and manipulating.
