I could talk for weeks about the sheer nepotistic corrupt bullshit in the early years, when an Ayn Rand roleplaying group (not kidding, they were called “Taggart Transdimensional”) got unique advantages from the devs that no one else could access all in the name of “roleplaying.” They conjured up fictional characters that gave those advantages (the very first and exclusive t2 mining laser blueprint originals) to their Randroid favorites, and over and over again changed the rules to fit their favorites, year after year.
The dystopian corruption of the setting was coming from inside the development company.
Fredrik Knudsen’s video on EVE is really fascinating stuff, though more focused on in-universe events. I don’t recall him even bringing this up in the vid which seems like a huge miss, I just recall various claims of admins giving benefits to certain users unchecked for a while. Also tracks with the monetization changes the devs made that universally pissed off their whole playerbase, unironic lolbertarians are wild

What a shitty game
I spent ages botting with like 10 accounts, from bot mining in a rented nullsec system to bot faction warfare amassing a stupid amount of isk for one player, then having decided I had enough funds to have fun, joined some corps and realised I didn’t enjoy the game at all
Should log on and sell off the characters and ISK some day
I don’t really like Thor, and he’s not being entirely truthful here, but CCP is full of shit. EVE has seen better days.

g*mes and their consequences…
This would have never happened if CCP Guard was still there. Rip permaband. In all seriousness, CCP seems like an awful place to work but there are still good people that work there. Although they either leave like Guard or Snorlax or get worse like Hilmar. Aurora still seems okay, but for how long remains to be seen.
Posting pirate software should be illegal. I never really understood the appeal of eve i imagine its very much a sunk cost fallacy game i don’t really see how new players can get into it. I tried it out a few times and put a decent amount of time into the game it mostly devolved into either doing missions or mining and both were very boring. Gameplay is clunky, grind is intense, only recommendation is to join a corp where i would do the exact same activities but get taxed.
I did play with a few friends and do some lowsec mining but nothing interesting ever happened its only ever nullsec ganks anyway
Hilmar having an underling write his big “apology” letter

how much did you get when you sold your accounts?

it’s all pay-to-win now with skill injectors anyway. you can just add ISK until you have the exact skills you want

P2W only applies if you have the game knowledge to know where and how to spend it.
You could have a purple paladin, and then immediately die to 8 frigates once you jump it into Tama.
A more pertinent example is the Casino Guy who bankrolled the most recent successfull eviction of Goonwaffe injecting a max skilled Erebus, putting the toon in PL, and then immediately eating shit on his first lowsec jump towards staging.
I do think you have somewhat of a point there with the amount of shitfit marauders you see on zkill with 6 month old characters, but it is absolutely nothing like WoT gold ammo, or a gacha mobage.
E:spelling, readability
WoT gold ammo
Holy fucking shit don’t even remind me, it was bad enough but passable when it was just real cash gold ammo because considering how full of bots and casuals that game was chance you encounter someone shitting out gold on random battles was pretty small, but when they did gold ammo for silver (because of fucking course why else people are gonna buy premium tanks) entire pretense of balance was violently defenestrated.

v0v in a competitive game with noncosmetic monetization, I would rather stomp whales than have the leaderboards consist entirely of Gulf princelings.

The magic 14 need to go the way of learning skills.
My surface level understanding of the game made it seem like the kind of thing that I would have loved at some point in my life, but the more I learn about it, the more I’m glad I never gave it a shot.

I noticed they are trash tier after playing few days and my ship evaporating with nearly my entire progress. I kinda liked that game, but this is complete dealbreaker.

It’s really wild that you have “fans” that follow you around through alts.
You haven’t even been back that long, and they’re already back at it

The “you mad bro” was a reference to that era and the piracy, ganking, goon swarm wars that were part of the game.

I’m not going to play “no real Scotsman”. I loved that game, my best IRL friends are all from that game but we all moved on like most do.
I would just guess you had a different experience and that’s why my comment felt hostile. We memed hard and frequented the forums and failheapchallenge.

Why can I not escape this lib? Why must Pirate Software be posted everywhere?!
