The second listed definition on dictionary.com is hardly obscure, many words have multiple meanings, my definition is the one that is generally used in relation to Eve.
So, on it’s face, by the primary definiton, in-game actions are not “content”. You cannot put an action in a box. A box cannot contain an action.
One definition of many.
“Aggrevation” is a surname, not the noun you are thinking of.
Regardless, the noun describes you to a tee.
So, when I go out and look for miners to gank, I am “expressing my creativity through the medium of EVE”, as I would in writing a song, thus making my gank search “content”.
That’s patently absurd, but I have to give you full marks for creativity! My hat is off to you.
Good luck with your crusade to change the vocabulary of every other person who plays eve
I blame educators, students are taught what to think, not how to think.
The English language is not set in stone and is in fact transformative. The use of a word can change over time to mean a different thing. Therefore if you can’t adapt to said change this is the wrong game for you.
Indeed, English is an evolving language that follows other languages into dark alleys, beats them senseless and rifles their dictionaries for spare vocabulary.
Not every other person. Just a small vapid minority.
lol wait until he finds out what this means these days.
Yeah… “content” is literally just the stuff that’s inside something else. When you open EVE, what’s inside? The contents of EVE are mostly people screwing with each other.
edit: as in Table of Contents, Contains, etc.
Indeed, yes. There are many stories (content) which can be told of the actions of capsuleers within New Eden. We are creating these stories rather than having someone else (development team and quest writers) write them.
Precisely. Actions are not things; they cannot be contained within something. You can have a box of hats, but you cannot have a box of twerking.
Are you sure? Cause a big enough box could indeed hold a few chicks twerking which would quite literally be a box full of twerking…
I think you need to look up this word too

It’s an ironic referral to the players; all of them malcontents and discontents who are never content.
For these lost souls in space it’s a way of giving meaning to them, that even if they are useless jetsom they can provide amusement for others, in that entertainment we get from mistreating others.
Are you content?
So what people actually think of when saying content?
Fight with other player?
Killing NPCs?
Destroying MTUs?
Griefing miners?
Everything? 
Could you back up the claim that “things we do ingame” cannot be content? Is there a definition of the word that I am unaware of that forbids it to be used for things players do in a game?
Just looking at the meaning of the word, a games content is whatever is contained in the game. Most of the players actions concerning Eve online (not all of them, mind you) are contained in the game. It would be kind of creepy if they weren’t.
And to pick up your own argument: Sure, a Condor is an asset that people can see and interact with. And CCP made it. However, if nobody is flying that Condor, that content is inaccessible. A fight between a Condor and an Atron in Lowsec is also something players can see and interact with. And that’s not something CCP made. CCP only gave us the tools to make this fight happen. These tools are the Condor and the Atron for example, as well as the game mechanics surrounding them, and sure - they themselves are content too.
Pretty much everything you can do in the game, yeah. If you run a mission, that’s content laid out for you by CCP. If you join a public fleet, that’s content provided to you by the fleet commanders and organizers of that fleet, as well as the opponents you may end up fighting. If you play the -0.01 ISK game in the market, that’s content made possible by yourself and the other idiot who’s always undercutting you within a few minutes. If you gank something in Highsec, or get ganked, that’s content too.
Why people dont say “actions”? Is saying “content” something for people to feel better about themselves even when its grind in high sec?
“I am a player, I play game” vs “I am the content, I make content”.
As someone who made some posters, some actual textures for items in game, I dont think its as easy as just making some frigate in game. I feel one content is not equal to other content.
What is good content?
Is this one of this threads where the OP pretends to not understand something but actually just thinks that the same term he used elsewhere for something different can’t possibly be used here in another way and therefor everyone is using it wrong and because it was formulated like a question everyone is trying to explain it to her but she already knows that she is right and just repeats here fallacious assumption? Is it one of those threads?
