Well todays current theme is WoW threads so I felt I need to make one!
The only thing I miss from World of Warcraft is....
Being able to bind my god damn keys without ctrl, alt or ANY other modifier key.
I hate the F# keys, and I wish you could change binds to the normal keys. I hate clicking but I cannot be assed to get used to the Alt+F#, Ctrl+F# keys, its so damn clumsy! Please give us a way to bind all our keys and hit enter or something to bring up chat.
Thats my WoW thread for the day! |

Not really, or well… yes, you can bind stuff in the settings menu, but it's rather limited.
The main problem with key bindings in EVE is that the chat is always active — as soon as you type an alpha-numerical character, it goes into the chat, which vastly reduces the versatility of key bindings. Most games solve this by having the chat window deactivated for input until you purposely click in it or hit enter, and only stays active until you hit enter again or click somewhere else. |

WoW didn't invent good user interfaces.
Eve however has taken the horrible UI and made a whole new art form out of it. MOAR HOTKEYS PLZ KTHX |

True enough… I miss this functionality from Planetside, personally.

One thing that bugged the shins out of me in WoW was typing something, and forgetting to hit enter first and suddenly all my frickin UI was up in front of me with a clueless expression "You called?".

I love my Logitech G15. Custom keybinds are definitely useful when you have a lot of different ones for various loadouts on your ships.
And as far as WoW's UI is concerned... The default UI is garbage, what makes it actually decent is the custom player-made UI addons that you can download. |

I used the default UI and never changed it other than the addon here and there. Mostly because I never actually clicked anything on the UI because everything useful had a bind (and I really mean everything). Hell I could have played WoW with nothing but a health and mana bar because of all my binds.
I really wish CCP would give us the option for enter chat and letter keybinds. This F1-F8 nonsense is really annoying.

Sadly, yes. If you think that's as good as it gets then I must heartily congratulate you on a life not wasted playing PC games.

That's why you should have spent 2 minutes in the key bindings menu removing all of the ones that brought up UI windows.
And that's where I stopped reading the thread. Boy I'm lazy... must be from playing too much WoW lately.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started. |

Bolded portion. Surprising that EVE lacks this flexibility.

just fyi, that's a macro system and ergo against EULA
though for some reason G15 keyboards are ok, and that isn't all that different, other than mouse click control |

According to some credible sources found around ice belts (jxsdasiasojd, paksadas and last but certainly not least, IceMinerMacromanx34), I've heard that CCP doesn't remember where they put the EULA, let alone read and enforce it.

you're totally welcome to take that gamble with your account (since it'd be pretty hard to prove and all), but i wont. --

Having looked at it it can do some benign stuff like key reassignment... but yeah, it's also a lot more, uh, "robust" than that.
And beyond that it involves a bunch of scripting, which I'm not much into in any case. Put the two together = do not want.
Therefore, to reiterate: MOAR AND BETTER HOTKEYS PLZ KTHX
