To me it looks more like you just gave up cause you can't do what you always do. But, that's an outsiders perception. just cause things suck doesn't mean you give up. Fight, regardless of why. Can't be arsed to defend yourself in a game, then i fear for you in real life if said things happen. So stand up and take it like a boxer and go down swinging!
Explain to me what I can "No longer do" since I gave up a month before the last strategus ended? Back when there was a real war brewing and we had a crapton of fiefs and could do "anything" we wanted?
cRPG is more exciting for me, sorry. There, people have real shields and real armour, and more importantly CAVALRY THAT CAN THREATEN ARCHERS... Oh, and the best thing?
cRPG people may rage but they are good the next day...
Strategus? A lot of
you peasants act like total
nut jobs and take
every little thing that happens in strategus personally and
carry it over to the forums and cRPG and ruin the game for me.
Good God you people hold grudges more then people in EVE do... AND I HAD REAL MONEY AT STAKE IN EVE!
That is why I quit Strategus, because too many people take things too seriously. Yeah, I wanna win Strategus, and the very nature of Strategus makes it significantly more competitive then cRPG... HOWEVER.. Just because someone steam rolled your faction, or stabbed your faction in the back, does not mean you need to act like someone shot your puppy IRL and act out on the forums and even in-game over it...
Being dicked in Strategus and acting crazy in Strategus or Clan Halls or Diplomacy? Totally cool. Joking about it in General Talk? Totally cool. Whining about it constantly everywhere on the forums or blathering in game and griefing the "bad people?" Bad... Bad bad bad...
That is why I quit (EDIT Clarification; as in quit Strat not cRPG)... If I want to play a game that is taken this seriously, I am going to play EVE... Actually, come January I am going to start playing EVE again... And laugh and laugh and laugh at all the bent little Strategus people who act like it is the end of the world when a mere few months of their work go up in flames, or (THE HORROR) someone attacks you...
And start defending AI villages you sissies!
Oh yeah, and this...
Can't be arsed to defend yourself in a game, then i fear for you in real life if said things happen.
Much worse things have happened to me in Real Life... Real Life I fight tooth and nail because real things are at stake... Strategus? It bored me and the people irritated me FAR before we got "beat up." RL is amazing and important, Strategus is rediculous in how people are starting to view it, just a
free game that is not my cup of tea (I understand how others like it) and I am tired of seeing the exact same armies now as I did two months ago in it... Hell, at the very start of STrat V3 Clanners had a hard time getting into it... We were already for the most part burnt out in V2.0 (In Summary, I find it a bit idiotic that you think RL and a video game
beta are compatible).
TL;DR Version
Strategus makes idiotic grudges in this community and I am going to play EVE again. Not playing Strategus as every version people get more "bent" AND carry on previous grudges. Meow is a cutie.
