have you ever participated in a sisi mass test?
No
what role do you play in eve? (smallcorp/bigcorp/alliance highsec/lowsec/0.0 resident)
Lowsec FW
do you regularly participate in big 0.0 fleet fights?
No
were any of these factors the reason you have been prevented in participating in a mass test on sisi?
-didn't believe the test would accomplish anything - Lag is regularly experienced in systems with as little as one person in them. IMO, large numbers of players exacerbate the problem but ignore the real source of lag
-sisi patching was too hard, gave up - Sisi patching is ok for technically competent players but the unreliable manual setting up of a Sisi client mostly points to CCP's whole attitude about things: They don't care about the details.
-generally didnt care - I do care, but see above
-wasn't aware of it - Was too busy shaking my head
-scheduled at a bad time - Time was fine
-previous tests were poorly conducted so i no longer participated(please specify) - No personal experience but have heard too my stories of CCP making yet another mess of things
-other please specify - CCP have been at this for 6 months now, with almost nothing to show for it. I seriously doubt that another 6 months of flogging thedead horse will achieve anything.
would you participate in a sisi mass test if they gave you perks you would never get on TQ like max skillpoints, or supercaps? - No
would you participate in a sisi mass test if there was a TQ tournament going on that required it(specifically, the sort of player-run sort of events that don't involve creation of isk)? - Mazziliu, you really need to work on your communication skills. I have no idea what that means, and I'm pretty sure that others have the same problem.
would you participate in a sisi mass test if someone really famous and well liked commanded the fleet on sisi? - No
if they used code injection on TQ in a fleet fight but only if both parties consented, and everyone knew in advance that there would be no reimbursement just like usual, would you ever consent to participating in the test(although this question is probably moot unless you're an FC, I'd also like to know if this idea ****es you off a lot or if you think it's a good idea)? - CCP need to have a few developers with modified monitoring clients and with server monitoring code injected spend a lot of time in nullsec, roaming and doing fleet fights so that they can experience the problems while being able to simultaneously track them. CCP would need to clearly mark themselves as such and square this with the players they fight/help by reimbursing losses to which they contributed. Sisi is not TQ and is IMO pretty much worthless as a testing ground.
what sort of situations would be excluded from ever being tested if CCP refused to give reimbursement for deaths incurred during TQ code injection ****ups? - I seriously doubt that CCP refusing to compensate their own customers for their own mistakes would result in CCP retaining many of those customers.
would you ever participate in any sort of sisi mass testing if there was no immediate and direct isk reward on TQ? - No, unless CCP could explain to me how they manage to see Sisi as an adequate stand in for TQ.
is there anything major that this survey has missed that you think could greatly help the testing effort? - The testing and monitoring needs to be done on TQ, and CCP need to reimburse the players. No question about it. CCP needs to get a number of alliances to agree on place, then get fleets into the area and lock down all access to it and reimburse all losses for the duration of the test. They also need to test almost empty systems. Personally, I don't see CCP doing any of this as they are too convinced of their own capabilities and will continue to dribble away customers until they go bankrupt in a couple of years.
