The lack of alternatives. This is the only reason why CCP can get away with all this crap. If there was a similar experience to EVE (pvp, full-ish loot, harsh, sci-fi, spaceships), I’d be there and not here if there is better than here. But there is no there, which is why I try to make the here a better place despite the incompetence of large chunks of the developers (not all of them are insane or incompetent. Best example for that is Karkur).
I’m gonna admit I’ve never seen a MMO drop loot rates across the board, and expect their players to stick around, dig in, and play the game harder to get what is left.
Especially one that’s so time intensive you can only get a few things done per play session. For people with jobs, the time cost hurts a lot.
It’s not just r/eve. It’s on the forums, too. The difference is, CCP controls the forums but not reddit. So it gets locked and buried on the forums, but on reddit it gets upvoted to the top.
Yeah I went on eve’s reddit in order to check before starting the game, and it’s so full of hatred it feels like a horde of 8 years old spoiled kids who scream and break everything when they don’t get what they want, as if they owned the world / studio / game.
It makes me feel kind of sad for them.
When I first checked the website, social medias etc, I was looking for an official Discord server, but after going on reddit I understood why there isn’t.
These people are so toxic, and the reddit really shows the worst of the game’s community.
the only official discord EVE has, is for EVE echoes, since there isn’t a place on the forums to discuss that game.
i feel like half or 3/4 of the folks on reddit don’t actually play the game, and just get on there to ■■■■■. though there are a few who do play, but just like some people come here to complain until they think CCP bends over backwards enough that they’ll log in and play, but they never will log in again, but they’ll ■■■■■ here just cause they have nothing better to do.
