That's an impressive level of illiteracy. You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. |

WoW is an example of making an MMO more simplistic as it gets older. Not an example to follow imo. Although in WoW it has character levels they make it easier and quicker to level as they add expansions so that it does not take any longer to reach the end game where most of the new content usually is.
For me if something in a game becomes too easy it becomes pointless. As for fun that can be different for different people.
I've only been back for several hours and the changes I have seen have been ok, they seem to have made a few things easier, but they have been welcome changes so far.
Easier to use does not necessarily mean the game is any easier, just that it's more efficient to use. |

there is a difference between simplicity and functionality.
Certain mechanics are becoming simpler but more functional. It also allows for more improvements in coding. Other things are becoming more complex. More diverse ship setups for example. |

This. the UI for EVE is improving which makes it more functional. but its not going to have button that blows up that gate camp in Passari, you still have to avoid that with your own brain.
EVE is like swimming on a beach in shark infested waters,-á There is however a catch...-á The EVE Beach you also have to wonder which fellow swimmer will try and eat you before the sharks. |

Inventory consolidation is a good example of something we didn't need. Sure there was a few stacking bugs that cried out to be fixed.. but the old system itself was simple and useful.. the new system is still slower and takes more space to use for a mining forman..

i'm firmly against making the game easier. look at wow as to why it's a bad reason, also the learning curve in this game isn't that hard if you're willing to do a bit of reading and ask a few quesitons. trying to do every thing yourself and you'll probably get stuck but... playing solo in an mmo? doing it wrong much? |

There is a difference between making the game mechanics simplistic ("click butan, receive ISK"), and making using the interface to work with complicated mechanics simple (hover over gun to see your optimal, falloff, and tracking). We need much more of the latter. |

These threads make me smile.
EVE is a lot less complex than people tend to claim, it has an in game browser that lets you look up, on how to beat the odds,
When you fly in a fleet your FC tells you how to fit your ship.
When you fly solo or in less disaplined fleet you look up your fit on the battle clinic, or if you're adventurous in the EFT.
Oh and when someone beats you by non conventional warfare you go crying on the forums that ships are OP, EMC should be nerfed, AFK Cloaking should be nerfed ect, ect.
Eve's combat system is quite simple and predictable actualy and has little to do with being complex, in many ways Wow is a lot more complex when fighting npc's
That said.
EVE is a complex game because of the number of options it has game wise, not because the UI is hard to sort out, It's complex and has dept because of it's economic system, it's physics system (items can't be telleported from one place to an other, but need to be brought there) and the fact that players can influence these.
Just because we're using windows these days instead of DOS didn't made the computer less complex.
So please make user interface as user friendly as possibble, that has nothing to do with becoming WoW as long as the economic system and the industry isn't simplified. |

If EvE's PvP is so simple, why haven't you solved it an won*, noted internet spaceship pilot Mike Whiite?
The simplicity you're claiming is like claiming that Chess is simple because you've figured out how the pieces move and you've memorized some openings.
*Like Raids in WoW have been solved. -RubyPorto

Maybe you should look at the idea is behind a Sandbox.
I'll give you that that line is poorly written, my comparisation was ment as WoW NPC's to EVE NPC's
As for PvP
You can make it as complex for yourself as you want, but almost any set up done in eve work exactly the same in any other combat PvP situation.
Blobbing, stealth, brawlers, tanks are hardly EvE only terms, they will work everywhere, that leaves the players wits, and those will be exactly the same in any other game.
Tactics are almost the same Everywhere not unlike real life where warfare tactics are still copied form Alaxander the Great and Julius Ceasar.
As said before EVE complicity isn't in it's combat, but it's economical system, its physics system and players that are able to manipulate that. |

All of EVE's PvE content from level 1 missions to wormholes and incursions has been solved in the same way WoW raids have been.
On the other hand WoW's PvP arenas have never been solved, just like EVE's PvP fights.
You're comparing apples to oranges. |

Try explain Eve aggro/session mechanics to a normal gamer, and they'll laugh in your face. It's not that they can't learn, most people just won't even try to understand something so arbitrary and downright stupid.

after playing eve i find wow infantile and boring. you'd get bored before you understood the comparisons. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

I wish this post could be taped to the desk of every game developer.
DEPTH is awesome. Complexity is more complicated :) Fittings and ships are DEEP, but not complicated. Aggro mechanics are just plain stupid and full of loopholes easily abused. |

I guess I can see your point there, I played WOW for several years and got 4 different characters to level 80, for me it was more about the journey than the destination, I lost interest in the characters once they reached the end game. Couldn't see the point of continueing for another 5 levels when Cataclysm came out and they did make the grind between lvl 70 and 80 a little too fast for me. |

Well, Duh EvE's PvE's been solved. It's PvE. It's predictable. If that was your intention fine, but putting the line after a rant about the "simplicity" of EvE's PvP makes it look a lot like you're talking about PvP.
Really, Tactics are copied from Alexander the Great and Julius Ceasar? Seen many Phalanxes in modern warfare have you?
The complexitiy of Eve's combat system lies in the interplay between people, their fits, and their piloting skills. There's no best way to fly a given ship, though there might be a best way to fly it for a given situation. The hard part is figuring out what situation you're in, or going to be in, and fly or fit accordingly. The even harder part is figuring out when you're outmatched. -RubyPorto

You steal from someone, they (and their Corp) can shoot you for 15m. If they do, you can shoot back. If anyone helps either of you, the other team can shoot them. You can shoot someone who's disengaged for up to 15m after they disengage. You can't dock or jump for 60s following firing a shot.
There you go. Three sentences to explain aggro mechanics. -RubyPorto
