aid "noun\* 1. help, typically of a practical nature. “he saw the pilot slumped in his cockpit and **went to his aid** ” Similar: assistance, support, help, backing, abettance, encouragement, cooperation, succor, a helping hand Opposite: hindrance _verb_ 2. help, assist, or support (someone or something) in the achievement of something. Did you find my initial comment to provide any form of the word aid? Maybe I just decided to poke at the forum clowns that are all over the forums shouting down and complaining about everything, but haven’t played in years. Since you’ve shown that you want conflict, I’m your huckleberry. First; Calm down, miner. Just because you want to play farm sim doesn’t mean EVE is going to pander to you. This is a war game, pure and simple. Every aspect of this game is geared towards war, from miners like you providing resources to mega coalitions, to market pvp. You, a bottom hanging fruit of a miner, are a link in the supply chain to your betters. That makes you a target for anyone and everyone, including whomever you are supplying. Even if you think you’re not supplying to the dig bick coalitions. Second; your sexism in form of mockery is outdated and dumb. It is well known that females play EVE, and are the perpetrators for some of the most high profile corporate espionage and theft in EVE history. Third; second-hand whining about people with more (in-game) money than you makes you look like a simple chimp. Fourth; Armchair psychology doesn’t work in video games, or anywhere else in life. While you’re busy painting everyone you don’t like in EVE as a sociopath or anti-social, you’re really just telling everyone you’re a giant cry baby that can’t fend for yourself. EVE has one of the most complex and welcoming communities you’ll find with any video game, if you ignore the forum/reddit trolls. ---

To your fifth point; Do I need to inform you what strawman arguments are? I’m leaning towards yes.

Fun fact the biggest griefer in game is a woman, and she is the CEO of the corp /alliance. Second fun fact, my pp never helped in math, or EVE or anything else, maybe it’s broken?! @Lano_Oko refer the other stupid questions and statements to @Remi_Lacroix, in my opinion you just want to spill crap around. On topic, CCPs money is CCPs money, they do as they please. Ofc since I’m a douche, I could compare their marketing strategy with Chris Roberts, but it would be too brutal. One achieved nothing the other achieved 10K new accounts. I let you guys decide. ---
