Drama is interesting, easy to create, easier to write about AND it 'sells' whatever yer selling... almost as well as sex.<br /><br />I agree that for every asshat in EVE there are 1000 good ol boys... my home corp and the corp and Alliance I am currently in are prime examples.<br /><br />What I love about EVE is the decent asshats I have known. There was the guy who killed and podded me for due to a mistake I made, then he looked me up, realized just how noob I was, apologized as he dunt like to kill noobs so he replaced my Rifter and mods.<br /><br />There is the war deccer who dec'ed my corp when we were noobs, we fought and lost terribadly (lost 4 ships & a pod to one guy in an Ishtar) and he became one of our tightest frens ingame.<br /><br />These are the stories I wish were told in the media.Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-54566858768257298982012-03-30T09:55:59.136-04:002012-03-30T09:55:59.136-04:00Just a slight correction.

And that is the minority that is seen by the outside world. It is a matter of perception, not of how things may or may not be (personally I think you are being a little rose tinted glasses there).<br /><br />BTW you don't feel a comparison LoL is fair? again, read the forums play a little LoL, I assure you the comparison is valid. <br /><br />Having said all that, I largely agree with you, most of my day to day interactions with other pilots are fairly good natured and sometimes even generous. Eve's problem has always been one of perception and having a chair of the CSM start something like this is...not helpful.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295528141153956214noreply@blogger.com
