Maturity? The eve forums? Surely you can't be talking about the very same thing? |

I agree with you, those forums are full of whiners. Unfortunatly starting a thread to complain about whiners is also kind of a whine and troll.
You got a few solutions to your problem. Either ignore the whiners and annoying trolls, or find a hobby that attract more mature peoples than video games do.
My two cents. |

IMO it started about 12-18 months ago. A lot of really good posters burned out and quit posting between Dominion and Tyrannis. I still see some of them in game, but I think most just don't play anymore.

No, you're just talking out your ass There is same ratio of trolls:thoughtful posters as there was 5yrs ago, it's just that the game population has increased. As I said, obvious troll is obvious. |

So true and it seems like the stupidity is increasing. It's hard to find an intelligent thread where you can enjoy and learn from the discussion. Just a lot of drive by trolls that are sarcatic, shallow, and selfish. |

Just get off the forums, you are here to play the game anyway. The only sections I habitually visit are Assembly Hall and FID, while making some random post in other ones sometimes. |

And of course we can't forget the "who would recruit someone called <name here>" which has cropped up more recently. To be honest I tend to avoid writing in the forums these days. |

Indeed, the boring, unoriginal 'youtube comments' level of responses are awful and the moderators need to stamp that stuff out as soon as it's posted. I do take issue with the OP's claim that 'almost everyone' are 'trolls' and that if you ask a question, all you will get are 'troll answers'. I just had a look through the pages on the first page, and most of them are reasonable discussions. Lets not blow things out of proportion. However: moderators, this is all on you. The perception of these forums is down to you. Do your freaking job for once, please. |

the forums have never been mature, never ever. 2.5 years ago? Ghost training nerf ****storm. Two weeks of tears all over general discussion. 3.5 years ago? Zulupark considers nerfing carriers, gets death threats and other threads of physical violence. Classy. 4 years ago? t20. 'nuff said. and those are just the ones i remember |

I just came back from a year long break, and if I were to compare the general level of the forums then to the level now, it's gotten worse. There was always trolling, rage and all that nonsense, but it just seems alot... easier, more infantile today.
As always though, there is still plenty of good to be found as well. Just ignore the silly trolls and support the classy/skilled trolls ;) |

you weren't here since the beginning so you really don' know what you're talking about. quality post vs troll ratio is the same. it's just that back then we had like... 50k subs. now there is over 350k. |

Worse or not worse, what I wonder is why SHC has always been better than the official forums? Both forums should have roughly the same clientèle? Is it a matter of moderation? In that case the EVE-O forums could be cleaned up with some extra work put into moderation. |

Maybe CCP could implement some sort of a time dilation feature to slow down the troll where the forums would slow down by X for every troll greater than one in the thread. If more trolls show up their typing could be slowed down by X+Y factors. It should make the forums more mature that way. |

You can't really ask the trolls why they are trolling and get a strait answer. Just like everyone here has to believe that they are so much better then WOW players (which is ridiculousness to the level of hilarity) TBH I think it has something to do with Goonswarm winning the ethical battle of EVE. Now everyone wants to be a Goontroll on an open forum. Also, CCP does not enforce the forum rules as they once did... Meh... |

Look, if you want a trip down memory lane, look at all the whining from the early days over m0o, Taggart Transdimensional and the rest of the classic stuff. Since the game launched, nothing has really changed. Trolls and whiners have always been here, as have exploiters and griefers, who I pretty much classify the same way.
But if you look in places other than GD and CAOD, you'll find a much, much higher signal to noise ratio. Even in GD you'll find enough to redeem the fallen. CAOD is the one hellhole that is beyond salvation. But even it serves a purpose, giving them an outlet so they don't spam up the rest of the forums. |

The explanation is simple, Eve is getting older. There are more senile bitter vets around than there used to be. |
