Keeping PvE players in EVE

Anyone want to get in on a better pool: odds of Mr_Epeen ever being anything but a useless oxygen thief.

(Trick question, no casino would ever take bets on something that unlikely.)

That’s two.

Damn, he’s really bringing his A-game to the forums tonight.

They must’ve canceled open mic night at the social hall in the senior center, and all those clever jokes and witty social commentary have to go somewhere.

Is this three, by the way? You know, because of the whole alt thing.

PvE only player playing a PvP game and complaining about it is like buying a pickup instead of a van and complaining when the stuff in the bed gets wet or stolen.

What were the circumstances leading to a player destroying your mission boat?
War? Baiting? Suicide gank?
Are other player ships on overview?

PVE logic… I’m not feeding my dog until he stops pooping.

Actually PvE logic is you have to put ■■■■ in to get ■■■■ out.

Do you mean literally as in “I’m constipated so I eat poop till I’m not constipated anymore”?

No idea fella it’s your dog.

Well, the same PvE players I’ve seen threatening to leave because of the changes are still here (some in this very thread!) still whining and bitching. So sounds like CCP’s doing a good job of keeping them in EVE already.

Not many homes they can go to that do pve like eve really.

MIners…they can go mine in wow or other mmo’s. Walk loop route, hope botters don’t burn out the spawns…you know, work. Until wow gets flying in later patching mining is alot of walking in wow.

NPC killing PVE, yeah, raid or death common in other games. Wow’s case is now mythic dungeon or death. Ain’t no quiet nights running your BS to get paid there in solitude. PUG life or deal with guild crap just to get your 5+ people.

Oh and don’t forget that raider.io score. Now with KSM achievement common so yeah…you may want to run the pve. The question is do the 4 other people on the team want you to lol. “crap” score and no KSM achievement enjoy running the crap lower level stuff.

But if they don’t like the game that’s clearly not made for them, why try to keep them here?

There shouldn’t be a home for a solo PvEer in a Massively Multiplayer Role Playing game… Not to say that those players can’t be here, just to say that we should not be considering them IN THE SLIGHTEST when it comes to balance because we should be attempting to encourage MULTIPLAYER play.

That’s really the key part carebears miss. You can PvE by yourself in a MILLION games. I can be a dirty space pirate in maybe 2. Part of what makes EvE great is that you can be the bad guy, in a real enough sense that (delusional) people even start to think you’re a sociopath when really your just an average guy, living with his girlfriend, workin for a livin like everyone else.

We’ve lost a majority of our PvPers. We are not in ANY shortage of PvEers AT ALL. As a matter of fact, CCPs recent changes suggest that we have TOO many PvEers and not NEARLY enough PvPers.

With all that being said, there should not be anyone PvEing in 100% safety unless they’re in HS and the guys in HS should have more of their income up for grabs (more loot, less bounties). Furthermore, we NEED to make it MUCH harder on PvEers in Null-Sec because it is quite literally a Botting and Krabbing wonderland atm.

Anyone who does nothing but PvE, and does it enough to PLEX their account, is a parasite who is consuming server resources in order to gain FREE gametime at the expense of everybody else in the game. They must be exterminated.

As crazy as this sounds it’s actually the truth.

If all you do is rat for your game time and nothing else you might as well be a bot, you have the same bad effects on the game.

That’s 2 too many, if you ask me. Video games should be about working together to achieve a common goal, instead of fighting each other for personal gain, obviously. If our governments were worth a damn, they’d start banning all non-cooperative, violent games from the market.
