CCP Fanboys, non-it getters, et al; this isn't just about the minority FW/00-lag issues. IF and I can't make the point enough IF you play the game and use your head you can EASILY see numerous things 'wrong' with EVE poor design, broken items, missing features that IF they were there would make those things BETTER, which makes the game as a whole BETTER, how is that wrong? Why is wanting the game so many have invested their time and effort, in however you measure that; 00 ownership, billions of isk etc, to be better a bad thing? CCP left players with no choice but to take their issues to third parties to get CCP big wigs to take notice because as we've seen they either aren't getting it or have ignored the message.
Read the assembly forum, browse the CSM issues pages, read the presented proposals they take/took to CCP, most are very well laid out ideas, at least as good as one can do without knowing how everything works behind the scenes at CCP. Then tell me you like your broken aspects of the game, that nothing needs or should be fixed/rebalanced if that is your position then good for you. I say that makes you a player with their head in the sand or other location, because there are problems with EVE it CAN be better and that is what players are angry about. We see and have often heard from CCP about what they are going to do only to have them deliver butchered watered down content and e-promise to make it better.
I don't experience lag, unless I'm going into Jita, I don't 'care' about a lot of the issues people are wailing about 00/low sec. MIGHT I benefit if they got some attention, yes I would, many of those disenchanted players might bring back their alts, engage in more war and drive my business ventures up, it might change the game enough I'd try out some of the aspects of the game I don't. Maybe I wouldn't get burned out playing EVE because certain aspects of the game are broken or just suck.
For the record I'd like Incarna, so long as they fully develop it, I don't expect it to be done at first release but I want it to get done in a year or two and be done because everything was completed not because they didn't want to spend anymore time or money developing it further when they can add more stuff, which is basically what they are doing with EVE.
I don't care about DUST, another FPS still not interested, link it to EVE and we'll have to see how that works but I don't imagine caring about having to deal with console players to maintain protection/ownership of a PI facility, planet, or system if it is tied to sovereignty. I also don't see it being a big enough draw to keep enough console players playing it, especially if they have to pay to play, how is whatever it gets tied to in EVE going to work when there are only a few hundred or dozen of them and they are needed in the thousands or whatever?
If there is/were to be a FPS aspect to EVE it should be in EVE not external to it through some other product, IMO anyway.
No one really wants to see CCP fail, they want CCP to do better because they know it can be done and angry that it isn't, that instead the choice between making the EVE world a bigger more in depth place that works well, they are choosing to just make it bigger by tacking stuff on. The decision is to chase new revenue streams over taking care of those who built you up and maintain your company, there is nothing wrong with a company growing but to do so at the detriment of their flagship product while ignoring their loyal customers concerns is asinine.
TLDR: Go get more pie fatty. ------------------------------------------------------- 5 minute forum time delay is a crime against humanity. |
