If CCP made a boring game nobody would play it for long.

I kind of agree. If EVE wasn't an MMO is would be a terrible game.
There's nothing interesting in space. It would be nice if CCP hired someone to put in some new and interesting content to make the world of EVE feel more alive. For example, spacial phenomenon, danger from asteroids and radiation, NPC battling each other, etc They see me trolling, they hating... |

just because you don't feel like putting the time into becoming a good eve player and having comrades in an alliance scenario, does not mean that eve is bad. Eve is pretty solitary and limited until you get involved with the community (I.E. join a PvP corp or alliance, or something that requires working with a group) and then your game becomes much more interesting.
Quote:Why the CCP obsessive compulsiveness with balance? Where is the chaos? Where is the choice?
See this is the problem people are having. Balancing is not done in order to "make all ships the same", it is done to "make all ships viable for their intended purpose in comparison with each other." You can't have choice when there is only one ship that is better than the other 3 supposed choices. (Example, rifter kicking the ass of the other 3 combat frigs for the longest time) You can't have chaos when you know exactly what a person is going to fly. Think "Battlecruiser in PvP? It's either a HM drake or a dual neut cane..."
People have this stupid conviction that the opposite of balance means more choices and more interesting gameplay. The real opposite of balance is what eve was until they started the balance run on T1s, Drake Cane and Rifter Online. I guess that could be fun if you like flying drake cane or rifter all day every day, but some people want varying ships for varying scenarios. |

OP doesn't undand Eve. In hia example everyone can refine equally well. So, the character with level 1 refining gets the same results as the guy with level 5 refining? Innovation is not the same. Minmatar use bullets, Amarr use lasers. There's plenty more but I don't like to type. |

Well a better idea would be to add more dynamic content. Such as use the old Incursion code but have it made of various pirates and last maybe 2 hours. Suddenly you have planetary attacks at random that you can go fight in. Not a lot but it can definitely bring some fun back. |

So I read through your post and okay, you have your opinion, which is cool and lets us know how you feel about the game.
Maybe EVE just isn't the game for you, or maybe you'll warm to it in time if you stick with it through tough learning times, who knows?
In the same respect, we have a forum that's dedicated to discussing player thought out features and ideas that they feel would make the game better.
With the amount of effort you put into writing a rant, you probably could of outlined some of the features you proposed very briefly in your post a lot more thoroughly on the right forum.
We value player feedback and involvement massively, hence having the CSM and a forum dedicated to helping you to help us make the game more awesome.
Why not check it out and show off some of your ideas there?

If you want to be stuck in some fixed class, grind quests, and have your game content spoon fed then go play anything but Eve. You wont find a game that allows you to actually do what you want to do like in Eve. You obviously just dont like MMOs then and arent going to be happy anywhere. |

I've been playing EVE since 2004, obviously with some on times and off times. It never ceases to amaze me how no matter what year we may be in there are harbingers of doom spouting off about how the game is "unfair", "broken", "dying and/or already dead", "boring", etc......
But yet, here we all are still. Granted not everyone has been around since the first few years but I can tell you that I remember very clearly when it was big news that we had 10,000 players logged in concurrently for the first time. Most normal weekday evenings during east coast USA prime time, I saw an average of 5,000 to 6,000 tops.
Interesting that even though the game was "unfair", "broken", "dying and/or already dead", "boring", etc. since way back then, that now I see over 40,000 on the weekends and even 25,000 when most people should be sleeping. (It was during an "off time" of mine that the current record numbers were hit, so I don't feel the decline since then.)
Are there things wrong with the game? Of course there are! Nothing is perfect....(sorry kiddies for killing the tooth fairy but that's just a fact of the world). However, I haven't found any other game that piques my interest, or my intellect, as much as this game. What other games have you using Excel spreadsheets???
And as long as I'm all uncorked here, this ranting and raving about how "I should be able to do whatever I want in the game but other players don't have the same right' is REALLY getting annoying. This constant whine is not something that I remember being as prevalant before. Granted I do see that space is more dangerous now than it was years ago. But how cool is that??? How cool is it that at any time, any character can find themself caught up in a null sec Alliance initiative ("Ship"ageddon, Interdictions, etc.) I think it adds SO much flavor and immersion to the game.
So no one, well at least not me, buys the nonsense that anyone is rage quitting over a set-back. Your emotions wouldn't be so high in the first place if you didn't really care a lot about the game. Who gets upset about something they don't care for?? Enjoy the game for what it is. Play the game for what it is. See the obstacles in front of you as challenges and use your wits to outsmart those who would seek to destroy you. Live your character a little. Put yourself in there. That's why you're playing this type of game anyway isn't it?
I'm still a high sec carebear....maybe in the appropriate thread sometime I'll get into my brief null sec excursion....and I WELCOME the danger. It's exciting not knowing what's going to happen when I undock, and actually having to use my brain a little to plan out how I am going to accomplish a goal. It's aggravating how lazy some people are. It's not so different from real life. Successful people take what comes their way, don't expect to be spoon fed, and adapt....and everyone else.....well you know the rest.
Sorry if a bit off topic, but I couldn't hold it in anymore.
End rant. My Mom says I'm beautiful.......who are you to argue with my Mom?? |

It is still a choice.
It might also be worth remembering that balancing has been going on in EVE for almost ten years. As of yet the players and servers have not detonated into a molten puddle of fail and the world has not ended. You started this thread based on a misunderstanding of the basics of what balancing means in a system as complex as EVE. Then you expanded upon that lack of understanding until you finished typing out your original post.
Having an opinion is great, everyone has one, but expecting other people to understand your opinion and even to agree with it is a little far fetched when you didn't even bother to understand what it is you are complaining about. Balancing does not equal a lack of choice, it provides more choices by increasing the number of viable options available in any given situation.
Balancing is what gets rid of FOTM's, it's what causes fleet doctrines to change once in awhile. So unless you REALLY like incessant blob warfare with people just using 500 Drakes, I'd say you need to be more concerned with HOW the balancing is done, and worry less about the fact that it IS done.

Secondly, my OP is a post, not a rant. I am making an attempt at genuine discussion. If I wanted to rant my OP would contain a large proportion of "*". Calling something a "rant" because it doesn't toe the party line is right up there with the current trend of CCP and their employ calling anything disagreeable "Slander" or "Rumour-Mongering". It would be laughable if is wasn't continually used as a mechanism to stifle discussion.
Thirdly, Are you suggesting I leave? I've been playing since 2007. I've done drunk hi-sec, drunk low-Sec, drunk null, drunk piracy, drunk mining, bored carebearing and terribly drunk missioner - take your pick. I'm fairly warmed to the game funnily enough.
Finally, I'd love to share some ideas as there are literally tens of thousands of players out there more experienced than myself with arguably more brain cells clanging together to come up with useful suggestions. CCP like all other half decent game developers know it's smart to ignore the scatter gun of suggestions that they always receive so I would prefer to have a discussion to see if someone could unearth a real gem.
Unfortunately, that will probably not happen as anyone suggesting a departure from the status quo for good or bad is personally attacked here.
As for the CSM they seem to be more interested in gerrymandering than the game at the moment.
Once again, thank you for your reply.

And in this form the personal attack is that I lack imagination in life and hence to prosper in EVE because one of my habits is to try a Big Mac in every country I go to.
I also take a photo of every Starbucks I see, bit that is besides the point. WARNING: The current poster is erratic, prone to error and generally blissfully unaware due to the taking of many hard drugs over the course of many years - most of them legal. |

Yes, when I read it, it came across to me as a rant. To be fair, creating a thread called "EVE is boring and it is sucky." isn't exactly the most friendly or mature way to get your viewpoints heard and discussed in a civil manner. I was actually close to locking it as a rant, but when I took a look at the rest of the thread there was a lot of pretty interesting and valid discourse going on between yourself and other people. Sometimes emotion and tone can be hard to read from text on a screen. I wouldn't consider what you posted "slander" or "rumor mongering" at all, it just seemed like somewhat of an angry post when I read it back to myself.
And no, I'm not suggesting you leave. That would be pretty silly. I'm just suggesting that maybe you need to re-think the way you play the game to be more suited to its style. I know I had to when I joined back in 2003, because EVE was unlike anything else I'd ever played, and to be fair, still is.
What I said in my post was that given the amount of time that you put into writing what I considered to be a rant when I read through it, you could have put your issues with the game together in a detailed post along with your suggestions for improvements to the game and posted them in the Features & Ideas Discussion forum.

Ok, first of all, you don't agree with my first statement? The very fact that this discussion is taking place is because CCP continuously balance the game. Had they not done so it would likely have perished years ago. The evidence for my claim is irrefutable, you can go back and check through almost a decade of Dev Blogs, response threads and promotional material. Denial here is not an option for you.
Secondly, as to my assertion that balance equals more options which in turn equals more choice, that has also been proven and again the evidence is readily available. It may also be worth noting that not everyone is under the false impression that ship balance is the be all and end all of what balancing means to EVE. The numerous threads regarding resource scarcity, allocation and distribution is a clear example that you have misunderstood the situation, and that your argument is based on flawed logic and a lack of understanding of the basic mechanics of balancing.
As for your other assumptions, your logic is again, flawed. You assume that peoples actions are a direct result of an inherent flaw in the balancing system, when that is demonstrably untrue. People do not use FOTM's because balancing is somehow wrong, they use FOTM's because people by their very nature will seek to unbalance things in their favour. The same goes for fleet doctrines and is why we have blob warfare. By increasing the viability of ships, career paths and the layout of each area of the EVE universe CCP are increasing peoples choices, not decreasing them.
You seem to be operating under the false assumption that "balance" somehow equals "stagnation" or a lack of choice. This is clearly not the case. "The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination." Elim Garak. |
