Most players in Eve aren't "roleplayers" to the degree that they separate their characters from themselves, is probably a more diplomatic way of putting it.

I'm always a bit saddened by the sheer amount of outright vitriol in local, but I try to chalk it up to frustration when outnumbered or whatever else didn't go their way. Hell, I occasionally jab in local too when I feel things didn't go as they should or things got too cheese or whatever.

Some people though? Outright fucking hate going on, over a ridiculous faction war that literally has no real impact on anything. We don't even take systems as such, we just change the color on the map a bit. Every moon or whatever else that could mean anything is still up for grabs and usually by 'pirates' at any rate.

It's downright weird to see the sheer level of vitriol and anger over internet spaceships blowing up, when that's literally the reason to join facwar to begin with. On both sides.

There's a lot of people on both sides I really dislike. That is, the people playing, not the characters they play. The ones I know are playing a character rather than just themselves I tend to have few problems with in the end. Acting like assholes for no reason other than to act like assholes etc, but there's gotta be some limits to how seriously people should take internet spaceships, I hope.

That said, if you fly for the Amarr you are clearly a real life fucking sociopath that needs to choke on a bucket of assorted livestock dicks, because you are clearly not worth the oxygen you breathe you weapons-grade shitbags.
