Why are you two (gix/dc) tag teaming to get a lock on this thread?

What did @Shipwreck_Jones do to piss you off?

Mr Epeen :sunglasses:

Gix won’t get me to lose my cool, even though it’s obvious that’s what he’s trying to do, so this thread won’t be closed because of one of my posts.

ps: @Shipwreck_Jones I did read all of your O.P and I really like what you had to say.

You mean besides pointing out that CCP owns your soul? :smiley:

Why don’t you make a full-length feature film about it and really push your fantasies?

And I already explained that if you restructured your understanding and expectations of the game, you’d be losing less and making more, while investing less time and effort.

You’re putting more emphasis on not losing $20 than on making $200. Like I said earlier, this is a common carebear mental trap.

You want to enjoy this game more? You’ll have to move past that low-tier gutter mentality.

I mean this thread is essentially that :smiley:

Look at you. Posting non-stop in the forum of a game you’ve already admitted you don’t like and don’t want to play.

Its just sheer craziness :smiley:

Well guys, it’s been fun to shoot the sh- with you two but now I’d like to play a game and chill.
Thanks for the forum fun!
Take care.

Just don’t you play EVE, you hear !? :rofl:

I had a similar conversation with a different person a few weeks ago about an irrational view of risk/expenditures while playing the game. And that wasn’t the first time, either. They pretty much had the same reaction:

It’s absolutely amazing to me how many people fall into this line of thinking where they’d give up everything to minimize an insignificant amount of risk, even at the cost of losing out on disproportionately greater opportunities. It’s like you offer someone to wager $1 on a coin flip, and if they win they’d get $10, but they refuse the offer because they “worked very hard” for the $1 and don’t want to “lose” it.

Are people that incapable of performing basic cost/benefit analyses, and loosely estimating expected values and rates of return? That’s absolutely insane. Over the past couple of months, I’ve talked to so many people who think it’s a better idea to mine in a Venture for 1 million ISK an hour than to increase the scale of their operations to the extent that they’d make 10-20x more money even with losses taken into account simply because they’d “lose less” this way, that I lost count.

What is amazing to me is how Mina made it clear that the main reason for her leaving the game ( when all her stuff is gone ) was price/fun/value-based but you and Gix tried to turn it into something else and then started bashing on her based on that false premise.
I’m not used to forum but I thought that was amazing.

(post redone to respond to the correct person)

Let’s look at what the complaint was:

And that this criticism was directed at the developers:

How is CCP responsible for the prices that players set for their in-game labor/products, and how is CCP responsible for players refusing to adapt their gameplay to a changing meta?

It wasn’t our premise that was false. Everything that person said was based upon an irrational sense of entitlement.

How does “it’s too expensive to engage in an activity because that activity now makes too much money” even make sense to you? I asked where the money is going, and was met with a blank stare.

You people are only complaining because complaining is the only form of gameplay you’re capable of at this point.

*humm…

Would you like to try and lie again? Because that lie just doesn’t match the fact that she did reply, and not with a blank stare.

Also. I don’t want to be dragged in the mud like you tried to do with Mina so I think I’m done with you here. You are not a pleasant person to chat with and you distort everything someone posts AND lie about it, so thank you but no.

You’re welcome.

I look forward to reading your upcoming rage-quit tantrum.

:rofl: I caught you in an obvious lie and now you’re jumping on to something else, lol.

Amazing!

My question dealt with where the money is going within the game’s economy if it’s true that CCP is just shoving sticks up players’ asses, and not where that specific player’s money is going.

I thought you said you’re done?

Wut. I literally said she didn’t find the game fun so she should leave. She then said she never said that, then I provided proof and she fled.

TL:DR: If she doesn’t find it fun, stop playing, stop posting. To say what she said and do otherwise is simply doing it for the drama and if so, she shall be farmed accordingly :smiley:

Okay :slightly_smiling_face:

Okay dude. :slightly_smiling_face: I can’t read. Thanks for the rundown of what happened :sweat_smile:

I thought so too. Must be learning to lie from you. You’re a bad influence, lol.

It’s…almost like watching cattle while they’re feeding. Their lives are focused solely around mindless consumption.

I think we can chalk this up to plain old boomer lack of self-awareness, and move on.
