Ok that's a very good argument as to why you hate mining. It's not however a good excuse for anyone else to not like it.
Do what you please, don't be an elitist, it's one why people don't even try to play. Similarly you say there's no engagement but people presumably like you tend to heckle and try to murder miners because they "aren't playing the game" though most of the resources in the game are available solely because they'd been mined, no miners no resources.... You know like an economy.
You've suddenly brought up "hate mining" and "elitist" out of nowhere, when all I did was make observations about the activity. It is not inherently fun IMO. You also bring out "no engagement", which is another gross exaggeration of minimal engagement. And if you think the gankers aren't mining, you really haven't gotten out of your solar system to explore. You seem to be stuck within the bubble even within the game, and you will be socially manipulated for it.
I haven't played Eve in years, and have only "ganked" in a few minor instances and enough to realize that it also wasn't a fun mechanic, it was just exploiting the uninformed and the careless within the statistics, and it didn't so much require effort or skill so much as preparation. There's also quite a bit of a similarity between the dopamine hook the people who gank have to the people who mine, although there's a lot more sadism as well.
I think that is pretty self explanatory.
Not at all, that said the vast majority is done by contracted mining corps. If the mining corps shut down today within 3 months the game would be entirely different and mining would be a necessity for all but the ultra rich. Similarly aren't you in a socially manipulated bubble as well? You're spouting literal in-game billboard propaganda.
So gankers also aren't playing correctly to you, what exactly is the point of the game again according to you? Who's playing right enough for you?
Sure, bud, totally not the case of you misframing my comment as it.
You must have failed to read the part where I am not playing Eve anymore. The game is an addiction hook with a lot of (but not all) game mechanics that really aren't that good.
I quoted it in context, how did I misframe it? You quite literally framed it and hung it up yourself.
You must have failed to notice that you not being part of the game recently reduces the effect of your statements, it doesn't say all bolster them. Also neat, you could have saved us all the time and just said you didn't enjoy the game.
I can't be blamed for comprehension issues on your end. And why would I lie? There are aspect of it I did enjoy, and there are aspects I criticize.
I wouldn't start pointing fingers on that one box, you'll lose.
You've only offered criticism and gone on at length about how your opinion is correct however weird or dumb that might be.
I offered criticism because that's what I had with the activity you were promoting. Yes, it was my opinion. Did the words "I don’t believe" not tip you off? I then proceeded to explain why I had it, yes. Generally, comments people make are their own opinion.
Or in other words
I'm sure I would lose, arguments only work on the willing.
Anyway, this conversation has reached its end, byeee.
The activity of enjoying the game, cool great point.
It's not a good argument to not play, it's a good argument that you're one of those elitist douchebags I was warning people about. You're literally spouting elitist in game combat corp propaganda dude. Most of them are emulating Nazis or Warhammer cults you know that right, it's a running joke that people that buy it are rubes.
