JC Ferguson Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2011.08.03 21:27:00 - [1] tl;dr Team BFF is no longer working on 'little things'. It's working on stuff to help out the big botting rmting alliances like goons (and it's just a huge coincidence that both the CSM chair and the lead developer for this crap are both goons.) 5 years is the new 18 months.
JC Ferguson Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2011.08.04 20:22:00 - [2] Botting kills sandboxes. If you don't address botting, this happy-talk matters even less than most CCP happy-talk does. But even the happy-talk borders on the nonsensical: Originally by: CCP Greyscale The functional role of Nullsec Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec is the land of opportunity and adventure Wrong. EVE is the land of opportunity and adventure. Within EVE, WH Space, low-sec, NPC null and sov null all offer plenty of opportunities and adventures. Of the 4, sov null is the least adventurous (dangerous,) the most rife with botting, and the least appealing to anyone who isn't either a sheeple or a megalomaniac. NAPfests are bad gameplay. Botfarms are bad gameplay. CCP has repeatedly demonstrated they are unable to get 0.0 right, at least stop making changes that make it worse. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec is an area which brings people together in a very strong way Wrong. EVE brings people together in a strong way. Corps and alliances of all sizes and styles are brought together in a strong way. Choosing to be a peon in a big nullsec alliance is one of the least interesting playstyle choices you can make and doesn't deserve more rewards or developer resources than it already gets, particularly to the detriment of other, richer, playstyle choices. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec acts as a rich source of aspirational goals for players of all levels of experience Wrong. Wanting to join the biggest blob so that you can bot in safety is not an aspirational goal that should be rewarded by any developer who gives a ** about its game. The best aspirational goals in this game have nothing to do with blobbing and botting in 0.0. Originally by:** CCP Greyscale * Nullsec provides an area in which players can amass and exercise power over other players Wrong. Power can be amassed and exercised over other players in all systems of EVE (as well as in the market.) Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec provides an area in which players can develop a rich, player-centric shared history Wrong. A rich, player-centric shared history can be developed in all systems of EVE and even in out of game venues. If CCP cares about developing a rich, player-centric shared history, then stop interfering in the sandbox. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec permits extremely rich PvP experiences at all fleet sizes Wrong. Rich PvP experiences of all fleet sizes are 'permitted' in every system. Nullsec merely allows the large botting/rmting alliances a place to fight with the supercapitals they acquired with their botting. You should have said: "Nullsec permits the extremely rich botters to hotdrop all fleet sizes" Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec allows players to build a home and make a lasting mark on the world Wrong. Players can build a home in any system. If I want to make a lasting mark, I can buy an indestructible monocole. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec generates isolated events and on-going stories which energize the playerbase and help drive interest in the game Wrong. It used to do that. Most on-going EVE stories are about how big a fail CCP is. There is nothing energizing or interesting about Alliance X botting their way to an "I Win" blob. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec conflict destroys large amounts of manufactured goods, which drives the EVE market Wrong. Nullsec bots generate vastly more resources than nullsec conflict destroys. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec is a place that allows us to distribute high-value resources in a balanced way Wrong. If you cared about distributing high-value resources in a balanced way, you wouldn't be nerfing ABC in WH, the most dangerous place to mine in the game. Originally by: CCP Greyscale * Nullsec is one of the things that makes EVE interesting and unique Senseless fapping. Incompetence, dishonesty and unprofessionalism are things that make CCP interesting and unique. So what?
