Recent UI changes are continuing to dumb down the game.
- Missile ranges no longer need to be calculated manually.
- Skills now show what modules and skills training them will unlock.
- Tutorials now show information far too clearly.
- There's now a big - and + sign for making your ship start and stop.
I am not trolling, the war on the sandbox continues with dumbing down the UI a little more every patch. |

One makes the game easier, the other does not. |

I always wonder what is so hard about using Google. |

Oh yes the veteran should adapt or die while the spoon fed noobie is in the right. LOL. |

Did you not read?? The noobs will learn faster about the game's basics. Meaning they can advance to more complicated stuff and learn about it, like surviving in nul, manipulating the market, etc. It doesn't mean they have auto-scope or the Eve equivalent there of. Seriously..
So you admit that the new UI makes it easier for new players so they have more advantages at the start? |

Actually vets need to leave, nuubs are far better customers than some vet who has burned through all the content, is bored, complains about stuplid little **** like the shape of a button and is too fking dumb to move on.
The vets make this game.
Without us you don't have nullsec sov warfare, you don't have any high level market manipulation, etc. |

Sure, but how does them learning how to tank and fit a ship somewhat properly affect you in anyway? You've already learned it and more....well, not you but others.
Because it was made easier to learn. Of course they should learn it but it should be as hard to learn as when I started. This game is too well documented and worse the documentation is becoming readily available in-game. |

Who cares?
I, as a bitter veteran, care. And we bitter veterans ARE the community. Everyone else is here to amuse us until they ascend to veteran status where they can actually make a difference.

The vets make this game. Without us you don't have nullsec sov warfare, you don't have any high level market manipulation, etc. The ego is strong with this one. Next your going to tell us the line about bitter vets are content creators Lets be real, CCP is losing millions a year in new subs because the vets basically use new customers as fodder to feed their over-inflated egos. On the forums the bitter vets troll any new player they can find with a question. When CCP needs to modernize the game the vets go nuts complaining. Eventually the game will be so far behind the market curve it can't get new players, then the bitter vets will leave and CCP will be ******.
Vets are content creators, we create content for the new players to enjoy. |

Elvis Fett wrote:Making the many mechanics of EVE easier to understand and making information more accessible does not equal 'dumbing down' the game. Making the game more accessible is a good thing as it allows more new people to stay. OP everything you listed was not an example of dumbing down the game. An example of dumbing down the game would be removing damage types. Or a little bit closer to reality making Exhumers ungankable in highsec would be a great example of dumbing down the game. Making info easier to see is not an example of dumbing down the game. Now I just need less clicks to see the info I need.
You said it! Easier to understand!
Aka dumbing it down. |
