Trollin Drunken Traders 98	Posted - 2012.06.23 02:34:00 - [1] - Quote is the lack of clear concise information regarding current game mechanics. Seriously if i google something or forum search it 70% of what i find is more than 1 year old 70% is mile long troll/flame/misinformation threads 70% is speculation/rumor/random **** said at fanfest or a blog or a random forum post 100% of it is subject to wild changes at the next patch with a couple drunken bar napkin scrawled patch notes or no note at all you need to get your stuff together when it comes to providing clear and concise information about what your game actually is and what its going to be. we are supposed to put our time and effort into making something here but everything is an unknown and the only way to find out is to get murdered/bent trying im not asking for a hand holding, im asking for an evelopedia/mechanics explanation videos that aren'texpired the minute they are posted. We are our own worst enemy.
Vicky Somers Rusty Anchor 155	Posted - 2012.06.23 02:35:00 - [2] - Quote 70% of my posts are herp and the rest is derp. Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity.

Luis Graca 63	Posted - 2012.06.23 02:38:00 - [5] - Quote 70% of CCP resources are in dust ....
Trollin Drunken Traders 98	Posted - 2012.06.23 02:39:00 - [6] - Quote eve-wiki war dec its all a lie, old as hell, i cant be asked to find more for you but there are dozens if not hundreds of pages of ancient garbage there We are our own worst enemy.
Kiteo Hatto The Fiction Factory Blue Nation 220	Posted - 2012.06.23 02:47:00 - [7] - Quote This probably won't make much sense as it's 4am in the morning and im tired, bitter and sick of repeating the same stuff. Im sure loophole abuse was never part of ccp's game mechanics, but alas, people keep pushing the invisible bounds(of common sense) set by ccp. When stuff goes wrong they blame the "sandbox not being the sandbox that they have defined it ebing in their mind", when stuff goes in their favor they define it as "emergent gameplay" Just because ccp didn't define something doesn't mean they need to as long as its common sense....and the gut feeling, but then again... We are living in the age where companies get sued because people are too dumb to think that freshly made coffee is too hot to drink straight away and that the cup needs a gigantic label saying "WATCH OUT ITS HOT" or they will drink it without second thoughts. God, i hate this planet. "That's okay it annoys me when people pile on new definitions to the word sandbox every time CCP does something they don't like. By the by it means non linear gameplay. and free roam worlds." - Alara IonStorm
Trollin Drunken Traders 98	Posted - 2012.06.23 03:02:00 - [8] - Quote your reply made sense but im not complaining about the cabal, what they did is pro, and shame on ccp for not figuring it out before them... im complaining that i have to sift thru 10 years of badposters and drunkdevs to try and piece together how the game works or write a petition asking brain dead questions or get murdered trying to discover simple game mechanics. We are our own worst enemy.
Ban Bindy Bindy Brothers Pottery Association 397	Posted - 2012.06.23 03:05:00 - [9] - Quote What you need is old timer friends in EVE who can steer you in the right direction. The truth is out there.
Tacyon The Phayder Corporation 11	Posted - 2012.06.23 03:07:00 - [10] - Quote 4 out of 3 people have problems with fractions !

Trollin Drunken Traders 98	Posted - 2012.06.23 04:04:00 - [11] - Quote or the fractions overlap, one isnt exclusive of others amirite? We are our own worst enemy.

Nyreanya Serenity Labs New Eden Research. 232	Posted - 2012.06.23 04:22:00 - [14] - Quote Look at your name. Now look at your OP. Now back to your name. See the irony in complaining about trolls? Not everyone thinks the same way you do. This doesn't automatically make them wrong.
Antisocial Malkavian GloboTech Industries GloboTech Trade Federation 138	Posted - 2012.06.23 04:28:00 - [15] - Quote reading the title reminded of me of a post I saw a couple days ago: Quote: Two Beans: Oh this'll be good. 10/10 for the serious responses tho lol http://gizmodo.com/5913381/season-your-food-with-salt-from-real-human-tears you will be harvested

Richard Desturned GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1187	Posted - 2012.06.25 10:58:00 - [21] - Quote hey look, 6 sites that have solid documentation of the game mechanics http://wiki.eveonline.com http://wiki.goonfleet.com (ahahahahaha you can't access it whatup) http://eve.wikia.com http://www.eve-wiki.net http://eve.grismar.net/ http://wiki.eveuniversity.org a rogue goon
Minimal Charisma Padded Sell 14	Posted - 2012.06.25 11:00:00 - [22] - Quote Kiteo Hatto wrote: people keep pushing the invisible bounds of common sense You could maybe add to that "in the hope that nobody notices and they get an unfair advantage". In before the naive "EVE is not fair!".

Hi, I'm CCP Arrow, I screwed up the.. ummm...
theSONARnet The Scope Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.06.25 11:13:00 - [25] - Quote @op I just returned after a long break and I do have the same problem. It's trial and error again. But it's fun ending up in the help channel with your 4 year old char asking 3 months olds how the game works :-)
Effect One Selective Hearing Nearly Feared 21	Posted - 2012.06.25 11:18:00 - [26] - Quote Y'see, I have this rare thing called common sense where I don't generally do things that are possible due to an obviously unintended side effect. Funnily enough I don't get my **** taken from me, but I still make quite a bit of ISK. Odd that.
Alexzandvar Douglass NUTS AND BOLTS MANUFACTURING En Garde 33	Posted - 2012.06.25 11:18:00 - [27] - Quote Fine, you know what forums? I give up, you win, my brain has melted into a pile of goo and poured out my ears.

God, i hate this planet. Luckily for you, with Dust you now have plenty of planets to live on. Planet Sony is not a planet I wish to live on. I've been there before, I think I'd rather live in a ditch on Nar-Shaddaa, though a ditch on Nar-Shaddaa could be an appropriate description for Planet Sony. That said, puzzling together game information is half the fun, but having the wiki updated on some basic stuff wouldn't exactly hurt. In fact, it would probably result in less newbies hurting themselves because stuff no longer works the way it is advertised... The few that bother reading instead of just spamming help with basic questions answered in the tutorials, anyway... And yes, they do exist, you don't hear them so often cause, you know, they RTFM ...
