“our” as in paying customers. Of course, since half you forum clowns havent played in 5+ years, you’re not included.

Dear white knight,

You are not needed. Please settle down and remove yourself from your armored high horse.

Thank you for trying.

Learn english.

I’m in need of emotional support, specifically from a clown. What are your hourly rates?

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Second; your sexism in form of mockery is outdated and dumb.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.

While we’re at it, all of you could do with some education on the word antisocial.

an·ti·so·cial
adjective

    1. contrary to the laws and customs of society; devoid of or antagonistic to sociable instincts or practices.
      “a dangerous, unprincipled, antisocial type of man”

Similar: objectionable, offensive, beyond the pale, unacceptable, unsocial, asocial, distasteful, disruptive, disorderly, lawless, rebellious, sociopathic
2. 2. not sociable; not wanting the company of others.

This what happens when you ask customers to design the game.

Noah Webster approves of this dictionary fight.

    1. INFORMAL•AUSTRALIAN
      treat (someone) to (something, especially a drink).
      “I’ll shout you a beer”

Apparently basic words in english escape you.
I am addressing people, not clouds. Do I need to provide you the definition for the word cloud?
To your second point; This game is a niche game, always has been and always will be. I define EVE players as the cool kids, yes. Also, I agree, I am Big Epic Real Man.
To your third point; Proved you wrong how? You’re up there in the comments whining about people killing miners. Welcome to EVE.
To your fourth point; I personally have met and keep in contact with more than a dozen women that play EVE. Met them at fanfest las vegas.
To your fifth point; Do I need to inform you what strawman arguments are? I’m leaning towards yes.
To your sixth point; If you do not believe that EVE has a complex and welcoming community, you don’t know anything at all. Try selling some organs so you can afford to go to fanfest. Better yet, go to the goon meeting in germany. More people are signed up for that than fanfest this year.

As far as trolls go, you’re a day late and a dollar short.

I AM THE BIG REAL EPIC MAN

Proceeds to walk into an obvious land mine like an idiot, accidentally proving my point

“Remi uses Single Strawman! its even less effective…”

Oh good for you! Maybe one day you will loose your virginity too! It will happen if you just believe in yourself.

No Boomer, I will save you the trouble.

Let’s see what I typed:

You see, there is nothing in here that mentions killing miners at all. You simply made that up because it was easier for you to defeat than to prove the original argument wrong.

Have you ever been to BlizzCon? They won’t brutally murder you either! World of Warcraft is definitely not toxic ether!

Spits in tobacco can

Lookee 'ere! We gotta Winner!

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.

Ah oh. I see another Mad Max reboot. Mad Maxine. Make her the new Annie Oakley.

These forums are for those who can’t be bothered to play the Eve undock and do stuff game.

{{Looking in mirror}} I need a shave.

Like everything else, the old Webster’s dictionaries are better.
