can you imagine how borked eve would be if CCP tried removing something like local? Even if it didn't break gameplay the client would certainly be unusable.

My Brothers,
No need to cut each others throats.
Clearly the current system in place is beneficial to some, otherwise such out cry would not exist.
There is clearly going to be mixed emotions over what I am suggesting because those who stand to lose the in game benefit will clearly voice their objections - as they already have. Thanks by the way for being so vocal, as you have done exactly what I wanted you to do - prove my point for me.
Clearly, something needs to be done.
Just remember, at the end of the day I am not asking for the game to be redone. All I am pointing out is that local is unbalanced and favours people with names that begin with letters further in the alphabet then others. You must surely realize this regardless of your trivial arguments on these forums.
no. maybe its because the current local IS a perfect intel device and no one truly wants to give it up.

Just what kind of "intel bias" does being you being ahead of my name create?
Hi Brock, it appears many pilots in this game dont seem to understand what this thread is about and yet keep posting to try and derail the thread.
Let me explain in full the intel bias.
here is a hypothetical situation:
You jump into a 0.0 system where everyone is blue to each other except for you. There are 50 people in local. The only people visible on your screen are the first 10-15 people in local. To see the other 30+ you must scroll local.
This means if a person with an A jumps in, his name is at the top of the Local channel. What this means is that the people who are lazily ratting or misisoning or whatever they are doing get instant intel that you have enterd channel.
This means that they dont really have to watch local too much and scroll up and down and check names as carefully.
But as I said this bias only affects people with the first few letters of the alphabet. Making the game unfair for those with these letters because we cant properly surprise people the same was as say someone with a Z at the begining of their name who would be at the bottom of local. This means that a ratter/missioner, or gang will have to pay more attention to local then if its the other way around.
really
