Upon thinking about it, there are a lot of great games out there that are not necessarily pvp oriented. Some of my favorites include Cyberpunk 2077 Surviving Mars Stardew Valley Darkest Dungeon Armello Civilization VI Broforce Rivercity ransom underground Elite Dangerous. I think the issue arises is that in EvE, there really isn’t a way to “turn off” pvp, and other players that are in a pvp mindset can, and may, force you into pvp. (A gank). As far as I am concerned, non-consensual pvp is a _core_ value adding to the dark, dystopian future that is the EvE setting. If you can’t fight for what you have, then you better be ready to have it stripped from you. Even the lowely “defenseless” (no such thing in this game. I, and Destiny both have a lot of pvp kills using a venture, and I’ve lost ships to skiffs) miner can strike back. In fact this is the only game I know where you can take revenge is so many different forms, and that just feeds into that dark dystopian universe of quasi-gods in ships with enough destructive firepower to level planets. With enough funds to crash entire planetary economies. This game really is unique and a gem. ---

You can play the game yourself with paint. Just select the plants u want, cut and paste where u want. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/d/8/fd88810bfd6821b3bd5a42fa54e2c9e1931df338.jpeg) That’s my farm, you just cut and paste what you like, and it’s fun. No need for developers or subscription fees. No griefers to burn your farm. You can do the same thing in EvE, just find the ships you want and paste them into a station hangar. Or even paste them in space if you want to live dangerously and undock. ---

That entire shtick of one fresh alt coming into the forums and “blocking” all the regulars until the only person they still talk with is _another_ fresh alt that came in at the exact same time they did, with the only stuff being posted between the two being rants about how all the regulars are _trolls_ and how _blocked_ they are, is so trite and played out at this point. ---
