Putting the demand that all players engage in PvP into context

[Ramona_McCandless]

You really dont want to, I dont think.

A repurposed meme was deployed to troll.

When it wasnt immeadiately recognised as such, the OP (and others, apparently) decided they had successfully trolled a particular section of the forum.

Then someone flagged it for some reason.

Thanks!

Cool copypasta troll novel bro.

You think pretty highly of yourself, eh?

[Elenahina]

tl;dr: Someone spilled some more stupid on the forums. SSDD.

Um, no? You kids kept insisting the story was real, I had to repost the link to the meme several times, but by all means keep going on about how superior you Karens are.

@Yberta_Molk

I don’t accept your premis, and pretty much looks like something a kid would write.

Eve is a PvP focused game but that does not mean you have to PvP. I enjoy all sorts of activities in Eve without using a gun but at the same time accept that someone else could spoil my day.

Fact is that mining/huffing/hauling/exploring without the threat of PvP would be pointless, just looking at pretty pixels.

@Wadiest_Yong

Dear OP, your thread is irresistible. I simply must reply.

What you described is a typical example of enthusiasm and unbridled eagerness of “EG” for her friends to enjoy her game and the things she loves doing in that game. It has nothing to do with alleged toxic pvp environment, and everything to do with expectations, leadership and group dynamics. The way it is organized is, of course, questionable if not hillariously wrong. “PB”, “M1-2-3” and your good self followed her, but also dropped the link with her eagerness to function and have fun as the normal tight group (as per your context) and did not follow through. Plus, you were led in, agreed to be led in, but refused to be led further once in.

A perfect example of The Abilene Paradox (original video here ). Thank you so much for reminding me of my own mistakes spanning several decades of frustration and relations gone south. I suggest you don’t undock from a station near me for a while, lmao.

@Kezrai_Charzai

I honestly don’t think much of the PvP setup in EVE, and have a low opinion of highsec gankers in general. However, it’s a valid playstyle, and your friend had the right idea: grab some buddies, form a gank squad, go smash some ships up. It’s far more engaging and interesting an option for new players than it is for lazy vets too frightened to venture out of highsec for their PvP.

EG was pushing the boundaries - you guys were stuck in the “lets pick valid MMO careers and start levelling up” rut you probably play in all your other games. Not wonder she got so frustrated with you all.

It’s 2020 man, and the end of the world as you know it. Free your mind, and the rest will follow!

@Daichi_Yamato

Whilst eve is a pvp game at its core, that doesn’t really have anything to do with your experience. Being a pvp game at it’s core doesn’t mean everyone must pursue killing other players.

Your friend is not typical of eve players. Not even typical of players like me that teach the nay sayers how eve is indeed a pvp game.

I think @Kezrai_Charzai is right. This person wanted to form a gank squad and you guys were the extra firepower she needed to hunt bigger targets.

Really seems like you kids IMMEDIATELY caught onto the fake post, eh?

Sorry Karen, giving yourself way too much credit for demanding the manager AFTER you got trolled hard.

[tutucox_Khamsi]

oooohhhhh…
nice

[Ramona_McCandless]

2020: no means yes, apparently

[Andresoni_Janau]

Sorry Karen but for your assertion to be true you’d need to go back and edit all the people’s posts who bought it hook line and sinker even AFTER I posted the link to the original copypasta.

I’m sorry that you’re upset, but the manager isn’t coming.

[MB_ThePhotographer]

I think Merlin met his match with this guy!

[Ramona_McCandless]

I think Anderson has met her match with him tbh

[Andresoni_Janau]

Calm down, Karen.

Those with even a tiny amount of self awareness enjoyed this thread, entitled ganker Karens all demanded my manager.

[Solstice_Projekt]

This reads far too well written to be authentic …
… and the conversation reads too artificial.

Shame on all of you who actually took this seriously.

Just look at the conversation between EG and PB.
Holy ■■■■, that’s not a real conversation!
Do you guys never actually talk to people?

… and whatever story this is coming from definitely isn’t real either.

[Andresoni_Janau]

Nope, they are totally convinced that Karen is real, the gamer group is real, and we’re terrible people for not letting Karen control us.

[you_are_evil]

@Andresoni_Janau

Nope, they are totally convinced that Karen is real

But this Karen is real!
Only yesterday she didn’t like the fact that I didn’t help her with her self-initiated PvP and instead did my PI just before logging out. She tried to put me down in TS, I just muted TS and thought ■■■■ off
