What type of player are you? What do you enjoy doing?

I’m not a killer and don’t enjoy killing players. I enjoy saving players by answering questions, and exploring exploring how to do something. I measure that as my achievement.

I watched both videos and I still feel like this is a 5D spectrum rendered in two dimensions. So much information is lost. I have no idea where to place myself.

apparently these are the achievers. Explorers don’t care about being killed. This infuriates the Killers. Achievers and Socializers care about being killed.

None of the above. I’m just a tired ol’ bittervet not even logging in anymore. EVE just isn’t what it used to be… Hell, not even the god damn EVE forums are good for some decent forum pvp anymore.

I’m sad, guys. Really sad. Give me back my EVE! 😭

I think you have to be pretty brave to fly a ship with no guns, slow align time, slow prop, with a target painted on your back; don’t you?
