If that’s the kinda thing they are referring to, like balos, or elena, LSG and some of the more recent threads that have popped up. We’re talking about people who were playing the game for a few days, didn’t get what they expected and so suggested sweeping changes to eve’s core concepts to make eve more like the MMOs they are familiar with. Our rejection of this kind of player is not the same as rejecting or being an arse hole to new players in general. ---

Very well said and 100% completely true. Also there’s a very small percentage of players that actually browse these forums. It’s not like there’s a bunch of pop-ups in-game directing new players to look here for answers, right? ---

I browse for learning purposes as a newby. Iv had a few interesting conversations on here today. It is good if you don’t get too emotional about things as a Noob and by the sounds of things a lot of other newby players are a bit overwhelmed by Eve. I feel like my positivity towards Eve in its current form as a new players seems to be seen as ignorant in a way. But I genuinely like what is hard about Eve. From what I see new players who are leaving for these reasons are probably better suited to Call Of Duty. ---

Oh sorry mate, I was on the Reddit Page reading about a few things and then I pretty much found this Forum soon after, I like this forum, Im only in a single man Corp and a very inactive alliance so the forums are a good way for me to keep up with what’s going on. ---

Good riddance. You might have a better experience in World of WarCraft. You get a free “boost” to max level and they hand out purples like candy now. Or maybe Candy Crush would fit your style. ---

Constructive criticism is all I see. You would rather keep players that have a strong opinion who are obviously passionate about Eve than new players that are just blow-ins. ( Im new btw ) and enjoy the comments and what people really think. ---
