I would like to ask you the important question here today seeing how you like to judge the folks who enjoy Eve-free life outside of Eve community.
How come you had never lost a mining barge? Clearly you are a miner.
Yeah I saw that is not for me . 
The reply I made was not asking you, it was asking someone else. I donât wish to rattle cages but I also enjoy my Eve-free life outside of Eve community.
yeah I see that and delete my comment dude.
Yes, i am judging you.
Itâs quite simple: you judge products and/or services you donât patron and then spread discontent amongst a community of real people. For things you have no business with.
I am here doing exactly what you do: judging a person I have no business with for treating other humans and community members like crap.
If you donât like the feeling, buy a mirror, do some self reflection, and stop pretending âoh Iâm not hurting anyone Iâm just talking about a gameâ. Youâre not, your treating this community like 
and this community is made up of real people.
You donât like Eve, you donât play Eve. We get it, please move on to better things in your life.

Jus t you the pathetic one feels so bad because customers judging that product. My child go and learn smth. from the books. Dont make others tired because of teaching you smth. lol
You are literally not a customer by your own admission.
You are not paying for Eve. You donât pay for the Amazon products you review. You donât pay for Steam games you review. You donât patron restaurants you review. Thatâs the point of my âstupid questionsâ.
Nice try attempting to patronize me, chubster.

Actually we should also teach you what a customer is also.
A customer is who paid a product before or paying currently. Or a customer can be called if he/she is using a product and seeing the advertisements make that product earn money from the advertisements. You should remember that all the people including the free users are the customers of that product. As I said read some books please. And donât make yourself embarrassed
A customer does not have to pay to become a customer as eve is a free to play game.
If a player doenât even install the game but looks at the website, that player is still a customer even before installing or playing or buying something.

I disagree.
A person using a service provided for free is not a customer, they might be a guest.
Custom, the root word of customer was tied to trade. Using a free service doesnât seem to fit.
A customer to my understanding and long before the internet even though I cut and paste the following
âan idea - obtained from a sellerâ
wiki/Customer

I prefer this from the ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY
Late 14c., custumer, âcustoms official, toll-gatherer;â c. 1400, âone who purchases goods or supplies, one who customarily buys from the same tradesman or guild,â
I can try to give an online scenario to that then.
ie;
A Representative of a Company decides to outsource a speaker for Fanfest, that person would be known as a Guest Speaker. The Company is not selling to that person and that person is not a Customer even though they first learn about the Company for the first time they speak with the appointed Representative.
To me that would be a guest and the same as other terms known as when referring to someone as a guest as the person inviting the guest has no intentions of selling anything not even an idea to their guest.
A Customer can be a Guest though like inviting a Customer such as an Alliance Leader to Fanfest.
Sorry in advance if I sound bored, My frozen heart had been stomped on by a fictional character named Princess Aiko.
/so if weâre getting into the micro level then there is a potential customer as opposed to actual customer.
/refer to your source location for the term potential+customer

No. If youâre not forking money over, youâre not a customer. Watching advertisements means youâre a product, and the advertisers are the real customers. The YouTube Adpocalypse made that very stark, but itâs been known long before 2017. Thatâs why trashy free to play games have boring âgameplayâ thatâs meant to pad out game time (timers, exponential costs, irregular check in rewards) and inject more ads (watch ads for resource bonuses, skipping a timer, removing the very âgameplayâ obstacle the devs put in).
Hereâs my booklist just for this month, what are yours?
- The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt (done)
- Second Treatise of Government by John Locke (done)
- Having Our Say by the Delany sisters (done)
- A Peopleâs History of the United States by Howard Zinn (in progress)
I have 3 more lined up next month:
- Mutual Aid by Kropotkin
- Children of Time by Tchaikovsky
- Never Split The Difference by Voss
And I am still trying to procure a copy of Die Philosophie Der Erlösung.
Great advice! To help you accept your own advice, I look forward to hearing about all the books youâve read and are reading the past 30 days.

Isnât it like:
- Customer = pays for a product.
- Consumer = uses / consumes a product (either for free or paid, in the latter case also a customer)
? 
Also if someone gifts or buys someone else a product or service then the one paying for it is the customer while the one getting it for free is a consumer only.
We agree to disagree then.

You are spending so much energy man. well done read more 
Canât handle eating your own words. Youâre the one spending so much energy on something you neither play nor pay for. At least everyone can see you for exactly what you are.
Unfortunately for you, I both pay for and play this game, so the only way for you to say âbyeâ to me is to block me. Iâll be around the forums for the foreseeable future.
