Negative/toxic culture towards new players

[Aiko_Danuja]

Now you’ve wounded his ego…

…mr peni is too scared to undock.

[Mr_Epeen]

Still desperately trying to be internet spaceship relevant, I see.

Mr Epeen

[Aiko_Danuja]

I get one relevance point every time you respond to me.

This thread is reaching levels of autism that shouldn’t be possible…

@Mr_Epeen

You don’t mine.

Me not mining…

[Mr_Epeen]

@Altara_Zemara

Me not mining

Yup. Definitely not mining.

Take a screenie after you undock.

@stefnia_Freir

That’s the design of the game.

I see. So you think highsec is ‘designed’ so that people can ‘chill’ and watch Netflix AFK rather than actually play the game they’ve logged into. No wonder such deluded people find it ‘toxic’ when they come across people actually playing the game as really intended.

Just for you…as you exemplify ‘toxic’…

Poor ‘defenceless’ miner…mining in Uedama right under the nose of the gankers

@Lunavera_Poxicon

This game leads all of them in toxic nature.

In the general discussion forum for sure. This thread is a fine example.

Hiring some moderators might fix that.

Mr Epeen

lol, so true and straight to the point…

[Aiko_Danuja]

Where are all the griefers?

I thought it was impossible to mine with safety?

Still not seeing any mining.

The difference is I’m not AFK watching Netflix…‘chilling’. I’m extra vigilant. And Kusion’s station is handy to run to if any trouble does show up.

Plus I’d simply type ‘gf’ if you did gank me…rather than launch into a tirade of how unfair the entire universe is and what nasty people PvP-ers are.

This “trick” is actually trying to put the blame on people who are not bots for their losses in the “high security” part of the game.

so if i lose my raven missioning, its not my fault? cool… i’ll remember that next time and come here and whine…

if you lose a ship to an NPC or a player, it is your fault… every ship loss i’ve had, was my own doing.

The thing is, you can have 100 people helping, one single toxic person will make the game worse.
I’m not saying there are no nice people in the game. I’m saying, there are toxic people, and the effect of those people is enough to ruin the efforts of the nice people.
Try to do your work nice, but if your colleague decides to set the office on fire, that’s a bigger issue.

I feel that this is a matter of perspective, and I cannot impose my perspective on you as much as I cannot agree with your perspective on this point. I think we could agree to disagree on that, if that’s all right with you.

I get what you’re saying, and I had a similar mindset in the past. But I really suggest you to watch this interview in order to understand why EvE is EvE and has to be this way:

Any post starting with the word “so” can be ignored with no loss of thread continuity.

Mr Epeen

[Gerard_Amatin]

Hahahaha!

That’s just like any post ending with “peen ”

[Mr_Epeen]

I was going to say, “I know you can do better than that”. But let’s face it, you can’t.

Mr Epeen

[Gerard_Amatin]

And no thread continuity was lost.

This sums it up pretty well. Quoted for truth.
