Hooliganism

e

I remember when the game was more about community spirit and respect for the unwritten rules;
where if you was say EIC and was hunting in say MMO and you saw a VRU, you would not shoot at the VRU ship out of respect for the unwritten rules;

where setting up cross company clans to help other companies was frowned upon;

were strong ships would park at x-2 ports to fight off the strong enemy for hours on end, to stop them popping their company weak ships;

when DO did things like introduced the honour penalty for killing own company players, to stop bullies popping own company newbies off npcs.

Now DO encourages strong company clans to bully weak company clans, by allowing them to pop the same player in a same company clan at war, more than a player from the other two companies, before being penalised for it.

DO is more like a free for all these days, with the stronger ships bullying the weaker ships as cannon fodder, regardless of what company they are in.

DO is sad excuse for the once great community spirited, skilful team game, it once was.

The majority of sound players that use to play the game regularly have left, never to return ( or who come back to check it out and see it has just got worse so just give up again), as the game just continues down the same sad path.
