You still havn’t answered my question:  
“Do you think NS new character attrition is majority genuine new players. or established player alts?”

Kind of.

Its more a mix of J. Haidt style dog wagging and poor reasoning. But gut feelings do play their role!

Certainly from what we see here.

We might disagree wrt CCP. They may not be accurate because they are not precise, but they may still have a good approximate.

Players…not so much. Or, their numbers are good by accident rather than methodology.

The discussion there is fine , the only reason you got nothing from it was your needlessl adversarial combattitivnes\* and general being an ass.

You were invited on the strength of your recent posting and the assumption you could have a reasonable discussion without acting the maggot.

When the lads pointed out that you were in fact being an ass you promptly threw a hissy and left.  
If you want me to get the others in here to verify that I will.  
That discord has been going for over a year now and that was the first time we’ve had any toxicity in there.

the end of the discussion is simply thus: EVE has risks. you dont get anywhere in this game if you dont take risks. New players need to realise that the moment they do anything like undocking or jumping into another system, joining a corps or whatever… there is a chance that they will die…DEAL WITH IT.

ive been playing since 2011. this is my newest character. back then i got blown away almost daily but i didnt quit. i talked to my CEO “why are these guys harrasing me?” he responds with "did you go through that losec system i told you not to? “yes…” i replied. and thats when new bro me years ago realised that my actions define my experience. TO all you new bros…YOUR CHOICES DEFINE YOUR EXPERIANCE. its not the other guys fault you screwed up.

Thats ■■■■■■■■. I was addressed with toxicity and nonsense right from the start when I entered it.

That channel, despite its longevity as you claim, has achieved nothing, and harbors/incubates/defends shitposters like Dom.

I dunno why you can’t see the the extant “toxicity” already there.  
I merely responded to it in equal measure, and then decided the channel is already compromised and just not worth it.

Crap was thrown at me the second I stepped into the channel, even on otherwise benign statements.

I dont understand how you dont see how subverted the channel already is.  
Certain shitposters are “allowed”, but if someone calls them on it and goes at them in equal or greater measure, they are stigmatized.

clearly you have issues. i have the perfect solution. cut all ties with them and join a new group. start blocking people in game and mute this post. when people started hating on me way back when i just blocked them and muted them…funny story…i had half my alliance blocked at one point.i

i mean if its that much of an issue then just leave it behind you. life is to short to get your panties in a bunch over…lol…video game drama.

So everyone in there is a shitposter? Nah  
Everyone is agreeing with each other. And those who disagree still do so respectfully.

Yep, same. Hence why I extended the invitation in the first place.

Yes, it is pointless, because they are here too.  
Look at the posts above.

Ask a regular whom are the top ten shitposters, and you will find consensus not only here, but in their presence in the discord channel as well.
