Benzie isnt an eve player, he was a minor youtube eceleb for command and conquer rivals, he used to be the guy EA gave patch notes to before anyone else, but he was terrible at the game. Then EA killed rivals by firing the entire team and giving it to maint mode people. So Benzie withered on the vine and flared out of the rivals community in a big drama shitpost a week or two ago. The only other remotely successful thing he did was a couple of lovely, uninformed videos on eve echoes where he pretends to be an expert. Without Rivals he seems to be transferring to Eve full time. I really hope he ends up in EO because he causes loads of drama constantly.

I'm sorry that you have this knowledge.

I was doing exploration in wormholes in a little heron and while I was scanning for sites some guy warps in on me and tries to blow me up!!! Fortunately I am on top of the wormhole I used to get into the system and I make it out with like 10% of my armor left. I had like 12 million isk of loot so I am super glad I got away!

Is the state of play that bad?

I think there's a lot of bitter veterans who play this game and hate themselves for it, but I think the game in and of itself is "fine". It's a very weird niche game and there aren't a lot of games like it in the world, especially not as popular.

There's mostly just a lot of really weird people who play it, and basically dominate the game.

Is there a need for having entry requirements post Culture War anyway? Seems kind of trite, :jerkbag: and dumb seeing as you can joing the alliance via Karmafleet et. al. If they don’t “fit the culture” if goonfleet specifically then cull the hoard the most entertaining way possible when appropriate.

:commissar:

Yeah I think that there should still be rules about joining groups run by goons. Otherwise you get random fuckwads.

You might say that any random fuckwad can join SA, but it's a better filter than having zero filter.

The idea that someone would want to gently caress you over with it seemed like it referred more to a personal story than commercial mining safety standards. I didn’t mean it as an attack, sorry if that’s how it came across.

Like someone already pointed out, most safety inspection stuff is outsourced/distanced so if it’s hosed up there’s someone to blame/sue.

Isn't it usually in the best interest of managers to gently caress over their subordinates?

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:

In this game the best way to get your feet wet is to join a new player friendly corp. It can't be understated how hard this game is to pick up just via the in-game tutorial stuff and the bigger organized player corps do a better job of telling you what you should be doing. No one has any expectations for you to do anything useful so don't worry about feeling like you are a burden or anything.

Once you know what you are doing and have some advanced skills trained you can then go it alone or join some small group of people you like somewhere.

100% join goons or whatever. It might seem a little daunting but it's better than fumbling around in high sec in a stupid little frigate doing level 1 missions.

your post is so dumb and tryhard

first of all, i don't need to play the game to know basic game knowledge

second of all, people can start playing and stop playing the game

Idk if knowing how many people are playing the game is basic game knowledge. That sounds kind of advanced.

What are the main differences if any between joining GoonWaffe and Karma fleet? Spent the last couple of months just mucking around in hisec and low trying to get reacquainted with the game and the newer mechanics and ships etc. Thinking about coming back to null, not sure if worth waiting to put in an app for main corp with the possibility of being rejected anyway or just joining karma.

The main difference is you won't be joining goonwaffe.
