This forum is brutal

This topic has to be the most active topic I’ve posted in, in a while. 180+ posts in 3 hours. Not bad.

I miss the old days, in which conflict resolution took the form of seeing who could first poke whom with a sharp thing.

As a new player I would have thought you would be asking about mining or missions, some PI some pvp some eve related stuff, but alas no

All about Scanners

Hello I would like to ask something and have more understanding about scanners. I’m new player and am trying to understand how this game works. I have been playing for a few days and was checking out the scanner ( the button above the autopilot ). I set the scanner to 360° and hit Scan. It shows me a LOT of things but I don’t know how to travel to those things. For example, I see a LOT of wrecks on the scanner but I don’t know how to go to those wrecks. I see stations and gates on the s…

That’s a funny cartoon! I cracked up out loud reading it. Thank you for posting that. I’m printing it and putting it above my PC so when I log into EVE I can remember how hilarious some people who play this game actually are.

Not recommended. When you father sees that he will realize what sort of place the Eve Forums are, and he will tell you not to come back.

[Xiombarg_Ohmsford]

OK I stand corrected but to go from asking about sensors, scanning, and trying to get to wrecks to questioning the ethical nature of forums is quite a big jump.

[Destiny_Corrupted]

Oh man, I’m thinking of that “son, I am disappoint” meme right now where the son is explaining to his father about how he’s mining in EVE Online.

I’m sure you’ll be able to get over it. Eventually.

Get over what? Now where did I put my beer.

I had the same experience when I joined, not too long ago: Not very inviting

Going to read that thread as soon as things calm down at my house. We’re having BBQ. Kids running around, dogs barking, teens wrestling… thanks for the link.

@Xanthellus

I solved this by blocking each and any negative Andy, troll, screeching spam poster or anyone else with a low signal to noise ratio. I do the same with several threads, if it turns into a ■■■■ show I’ll just mute that thread so I never have to see it again

If that’s what it takes for you to feel good, I say go for it. I personally can ignore and scroll past.

@Xanthellus

If something turns into a back and forth I’ll just stop bothering or posting.

I think that’s what I’d do too. I don’t like arguing with people who don’t even acknowledge their errors. Sometimes hard-headed people are best left in their illusions. We don’t know how bad they were hurt or what life has thrown at them.

He’s read some of what’s posted. His only comment was: Silly and he with his eyes and walked out my room, lol.

I’m sorry you don’t approve of my foruming. Good thing is, I don’t need your approval.
Thank you for posting.

The forum is brutal because CCP is brutal. They treat their playerbase pretty ■■■■■■■ poorly and haven’t released a successful piece of content in 6ish years. Furthermore they’ve REMOVED content for a lot of us.

On top of all of that CCP lies about their stance on botting. They claim to be staunchly opposed to it while in reality they are far more concerned with KEEPING BOTS than they are KEEPING PLAYERS.

So yea, we’re pretty jaded.

[Ka_lah]

This thread is moving so fast I’m having a hard time following it, lol. I’m still reading 10 posts back.

[Xiombarg_Ohmsford]

Your welcome. I am curious as to how you got from A asking about scanning/ sensors etc to B The ethical nature of the forums. Approval was never in the equation.

But just keep in mind that - for the most part - EvE players are decent folk, even if they are playing the baddies.

I don’t doubt that. This thread isn’t about “bad” EVE players or forum members. It’s about what I wrote in the o.p without ulterior motives or manipulation.

[Ramona_McCandless]

Its also important to note the growing groundswell in support on the forums for the idea that mining lasers should do targeted damage to ship modules.
