Hola again.
I had a brief chat with CCP Zulu and brought this thread to his attention as well as the /facepalm re: Fanfest panel.
Having been an active member of the Minnie militia, a lot of things in this thread rang true with me as well. I got into it as an intro to PvP. After my workload spiked, I dropped out, but recently I ducked back into Ama/Auga/Kourm+ to get some pew pew on and the dynamic of fleets etc has changed...the same spirit just didn't seem to be there. I don't know if that's an FC thing or what, but it still seemed weird. That having been said, like every feature, it was about what I made of it. I ended up hunting down a destroyer filled with Amarr scum and got my first solo kill :) Of course, that's not to downplay or dismiss the very real concerns here, just to put in my perspective.
That aside, Zulu agreed that there needs to be more dialogue from CCP about Factional Warfare--where we've been, where we are and where we are headed. Part of the dev team is going to sit down and hammer that out in some sort of meaningful format and we'll get that to you as soon as possible.
Dear CCP Manifest,
I have been following forums for over 2,5 yrs now. I just want to point out politely that u experience exactly what is wrong in some areas. I'm talking about lack of interest of ccp employees in some EVE departments that simply get ignored time after time and have a very big influence on the "EVE experience". That experience creates the more becoming general dislike towards ccp competence from players. Networks are everywhere these days. Especially among gamers. In the gaming segment online multiplayer's most people know friends or are in clans with other games playing same games. More dislike means more negative reputation. Followed by people stepping over to other games.
It's really nice of u to react to this issue. It doesn't happens often. It makes people see that they are not talking to a brick wall every time. I'm a marketing student and form a marketing perspective i foresee increasing negative rep and more old subscribers leaving and the new subscribers sticking only to the game until the don't get anymore why they pay each month for this game.
From a player point of view there are several negative comments about ccp that u can put into categories. The one that i find most important and is shared with many more people is that people don't believe anymore that the ones inventing content, alter content and review content are not sufficialy known with the game. It sounds strange but it comes down to a general believe that ccp devs don't play the game anymore on some areas. In example; take a look in the assembly hall section, look how many topics are raised about certain issue's. Of course eve must evolve with the gaming industry but that is not a reason to neglect the core foundation of EVE!!!!!! It is funny that even after the past few months dislike ccp still keeps sending out messages that they have no intentions to fix a certain aspect of the game that is considered a core business aspect of eve. This FW topic is just a highlighter. I hope by now u get where I'm going to. I'm a creative persone and i like to give people stuff to think about, so i will put down some statements and i let u do the thinking work:
*Commitment to Exellance; marketing strategy announced 2010 fanfest, means: more quality
*Corebusiness of EVE; Sandbox: Industry, pvp, missions, other pve content
-high sec; Mostly occupied by new players doing industry, missions some PVE
-Low sec; Mostly occupied by a bit older players missions, minimal industry, piraty (pvp)
-Null-sec; Mosty occupied by old players (<1yr) doing pve and mosty pvp
*Eve economy; what drives what? What is the motor of the eve economy (hint; it aren't missions nor cosmics)
*Check Assembly Hall now; Entire races are broken; Entire ship classes are broken, designed in the prehistory to be never looked at again. I can perfectly tie that issue to the FW dev issue, all sighs of neglecting are coming out a lack of experience or interest. And that brings me back to the question i & alot of fellow corp/alliance/player mates have asked themselves; Do devs actually pvp? This is a rhetorical question since i know the answer, but feel free to point this issue out and make eve back to what it was at some point. How many people are getting touched daily by the sighs of this fail... My guess would be the people involved with the particularly amount of fail. How many are that? How many people have alts in high sec and are active across multiple True Sec sectors? When u think about this, would it be a surprise if u get so many negative input on these forums?
