The title is a commonly recited meme. I couldn't do much with it for long, it did not make much sense. I mean for someone who plays EVE it can't be that bad. The MMO and in general the gaming scene has so many options that you can always find something better to play with. This statement is a lie like "didn't want that ship/system anyway". Obviously if you didn't want it, you'd sell it long ago. You wanted it and lost it and now try to decrease the loss by acting like you don't care.
OK, "didn't want that ship/system anyway" is obvious but why would anyone lie "EVE is a bad game"? Is there anything to win by stating that? Obviously there is, otherwise people wouldn't keep telling it. OK, some of them are mindless meme-spammers who repeat any nonsense they heard to be cool, nowadays they are busy pouring milk on their own head, but most people are not such idiots.
"EVE is a bad game" is a clever way of kissing the butt of fellow players. It's a social declaration of love towards them. The full version is "EVE is a bad game but I keep playing it because of you". It's an obvious lie as being with the others could be done without suffering EVE: Facebook and the very chat and voice programs they already use to receive fleet calls and lead fleets are perfect to be with people without playing. If EVE would be bad, they would just exclude the client and enjoy being with friends on Mumble.
The truth is - just like with "didn't want that ship" - is the very opposite: EVE is a good game and they tolerate the others because of it. While I don't question that some people who met in game are really friends or even romantic partners of each other and would stay in touch if the game would disappear, the large social group of "friends" would dissolve in days and no one would miss it.
Of course EVE wouldn't be much of a game without other players. However it's more the PvP setting. Ask yourself: if every neutrals and reds (hostiles) would turn into bots and only the blues (friendlies) would remain players, would you keep playing?
Fresh news from nullsec: Esoteria and Impass are clear from hostiles, the campaign is now complete!
Quick business tip: I spent 307M on broker fees last week, just in Jita, despite my Broker fee is 0.205%. Make sure that your Broker Relations skill is maxed and your rep with the hub corp and faction is high. Literally billions depend on that.
Now the people with way too much more ISK than brain:
Titans serve three purposes: to bridge fleets, to grind structures and to operate in a supercapital blob. If you use it alone, you are an idiot. Like this specimen who DD-ed down a random carrier.
Losing a 16M Stabber in lowsec is normal. Losing a 6B pod in it is not.
To lose a 8B freighter to war targets is bad, right? How about losing a 6B one to the same war targets on the same day?
The story of the tankless 5B Moroses never gets old!
This low-tank carrier had more than 3B in its cargohold when it died in a relatively large battle. Going to PvP with implants in your hangar is dumb!
