I explained to you that the first flag incident is really just two accounts flagging your post and it will stay blocked as requiring people to open it up to view it unless you adjust it. Then if it gets flagged again an ISD will then adjudicate on whether it is an issue or not. There is nothing wrong with your post, you merely suggested that he had a small mind or was being small minded. And these comments are very valid about your interaction with him.
If people who run around going HTFU at you and be a hard man in game cannot take being called small minded then you have to wonder just what they are about.
Jesus wept.

Sad how it is always the same people who destroy every thread with the same toxic attitude.
Can you people please stop ruining this thread? At the current rate, itâll be locked and itâs contents ignored.
Donât feed the trolls. I ignored two of them myself. Letâs not go down that road.

Yes there is a lack of patience and a desire to do their own thing that makes new players quit. It takes about six weeks to have and chance in PvP. And new players that are trying to figure things out that are lucky enough to get into a fleet are told to do things like just fly tackle.
New players want to get into the real Eve and that takes a while.
The issue with lack of player retention is because thereâs no longer any incentive for long term gameplay. Almost everything can be quickly accomplished due to the game being changed into instant gratification mode.
I think the main things that have hurt this game is skill injection, reduced skill requirement, simplified career gameplay and removal of player freedom of choice.

Youâre not wrong. But you should ask the question this way; From 2003 to 2010 more players were joining and staying in EvE than were leaving, the trend now is that more are leaving (or at best those leaving = those joining), why is that?
Your answer is correct, lack of guidance. But not by CCP, as the NPE is far better than when I joined (2005), but lack of guidance by senior players. When I joined, I interacted with hundreds of 2003/2004 players everyday in highsec. I learned the game from them, at my pace. I learned how to survive gate camps, wars, attempted ganks, you name it, from senior players. I ran my first level 4 missions in early battleships with fleets of other players, I mined in fleets. We would jump fleets into losec and clear out a gate camp so we could move materials through. We fought wars (when corps would actually fight each other). Content was created by players, and in EvE, it always has been.
Nowadays, you hardly ever see senior players in highsec interacting with new players. CCP did this all to themselves, they wanted to get people into null, but forgot that the people who didnât want to live there (for whatever reason) would just leave, and leave they did - in droves. Reap what you sowâŚ
Well most player call these senior players in highsec as Carebears, and some go out of their way to make trouble for this teaching players. And as you can imagine most get sick of it, and just go back to their corp activities.
If a noobe is seen in need of help these carebears will offer help in many different ways, as most know what is like to be a noobe.
CODE and other optimistic noobe gankers donât think that way, theyâre only interested in zkill ratings. Sad thing is when you look at their zkills theyâre a joke, you can tell by the low lvl kills and the fact they pod kill.
Any good PVP player tend to go for the more interest fights and almost never pod kill, unless the enemy just pisses them off after the fight.
Itâs a lot harder for new players to find the right quality players to teach them the game today than years ago.
Right away the corp advert feature lies to new players. Corps can say they are active 24/7 and do everything. Pvp, mining, explore, fleet war, small gang, wormholes, hisec etc when the reality is itâs one guy and his alts that log on a few hours a week in AUS timezoneâŚ
- First thing Iâd change about the god damn corp adverts is the option to tie a Corp Activity Tracker to your advert. New players can see if youâre legit or they can see if you are hiding your activity for whatever reason.
Next is the quality of corps, or maybe the players. Theyâve gotten very sensitive, and this thread (and another recently started) speaks to that. Itâs a game centred around a cruel dystopia backstory, dark humour, dark fun and freedom to be good or bad but thatâs definitely been forgotten. Shooting eachother was just a means of communication. HTFU guys. You think a pvp game where the pvpârs get called bullies by other members of the community and are increasingly nerfed by the devs is going to seem fun?
If you start a new char/account/alpha take a look at the corps in the advert finder. As an extra challenge, join them and understand that these are the people interacting with new players in their first days.
You should stop talking out of your arse.
