I donā€™t know what part about; **ā€œI donā€™t expect anyone here to understand or agree with me.ā€** , people fail to understand. I am simply expressing PvE exists in Eve, but **PvE only** is not real anywhere virtual or otherwise. Eve Online is a dystopian universe full of psychotics. Would any of you REALLY want to be shoved into a pod of goo and told to survive for the cause? Donā€™t worry if you die, because the one life one death is just a fad. We can kill each other and it really donā€™t matter anymore. It is like getting a speeding ticket. Thank God this is not real and only a PvP fantasy game. Get a grip people. Adding a bunch of lofty optimistic Pollyanna to the game is just absurd. As I stated before in this thread; **PvP games are a great way to relieve pent up stress, if they cause you stress, then I suspect you should not be playing them at all.** I think this is what brings up this whole topic. Someone is out mining in their venture worth about 3 to 4 million ISK and along comes the PvPer who blows it up in seconds. The miner gets angry and wants PvE only environment which is completely unrealistic for any game. Recently _Black Desert_ added a 1 hour PvE only for the PvE crowd and they cry ā€œIt isnā€™t long enough.ā€ Black Desert is PvE and PvP mixed, you are not even a target, unless you advance the character to level 50. They post warnings and there is a manual switch to continue beyond 49! Yet the PvE whiners get their way and are given an hour to each day to farm alone. They just cry louder for more all the time. ---

The crazy thing is, pvp like literally never happens there anyway. Iā€™ve been in 0 fights, ever. People just want to grind away. They caved to basically no pressure at all. I canā€™t imagine what they might cave to here. ---

there are few on this forum that do PVP people used to call that content creation back them me and D here have our philosophical differences but i like her a lot because i consider her kindred she goes there and explode things with her ship and take responsibility for it even now that CCP ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  FW IMO i think that eventually the bears will crave for SRP and go back to null the fact is oh the PVP people scared me out of the game , like that ONE time i lost that ONE ships is a phenomena that happens much more in the mind of the bear than in the game per se no one likes to waste LOTS of time looking for a generic kill , the more kills you have , the more time you have in the game , the less you want to deal with people that make your life boring so the real PVP people fight , people that take NO CARE in avoiding death , other PVP people and OFC loot pinatas just take 3 jumps aways from jita , stop doing stupid things im pipe 0.5 systems , avoid to much BLING and you will be fine but NOOOOOOOO lets change the whole game because of irrational fears ---

So the US governmentā€™s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a whole division dedicated to the creation of Standard Reference Materials (SRM). These are things like creating a ā€œstandard jar of peanut butterā€ whose composition is extremely heavily analyzed to a very costly degree so that peanut butter manufacturers can simply use the SRM and certified values to calibrate their machinesā€™ detectors to ensure food quality. The same goes for other manufactured goods like steel: when buying the same kind of steel it doesnā€™t matter which foundry you go to, they are all calibrated against the same SRM and producting the same kind of steel within a detectable tolerance. NIST is a highly technical organization and sets the standards for the US Government in many areas. When standards are insufficient, they also do a lot of engineering and scientific legwork to identify gaps and propose modifications. Eve Online is the US Governmentā€™s Standard Reference Material of a PVP everywhere sandbox videogame, indefinitely. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/7/b/17ba51064d1343cc03efa8b47f38dbcc89d859af.png) ---

Tbf you seem like a pretty good one. Also in all honesty I very rarely dislike someone unless theyā€™re a complete bigot. I do get defensive pretty quick though. I live in the southeast US so Iā€™m used to having to snap at ignorance before it gets out of hand cause thereā€™s A LOT of it here lol. ---

> [@Bladewise](#): > > Tbf you seem like a pretty good one. The thing that makes _all_ the difference both in life and in a game like Eve is the ability to laugh at oneself. People can end up taking the game _so_ seriously that any loss whatever has the impact of some major natural disasterā€¦rather than just being pixels on a screen that by and large donā€™t cost all that much. Sure, there are bigger ships lost that cost a lot in rl equivalentā€¦but the correct attitude is to regard all ships as lost already. ---
