McDonalds. I've been to this franchise all over the planet and pretty much it is the same. Unless you are in some crap hole that only serves a Big Felafel Meal Deal you could be in the same McDonalds pretty much anywhere.

Welcome to EVE. A homogeneous meh where a bit of eye candy and a few tweaked attributes aside you are in the exact type of place as every other drone doing exactly the same thing.

Every item or service is available a couple of jumps away. Everyone is as equally good at doing pretty much the same things. Technology is just that little bit different in minor ways, but they are effectively the same.

With some minor distribution aside anything relevant and meaningfully in the game is on everyone's doorstep. Need a particular item? It's likely to be right where you need it or a few jumps to Jita. The mechanics are challenge-less. Anything you will want to quickly do is just a training queue away. Choices are meaningless. The question is only how many diminishing returns you want to invest your time in.

Combat should be dynamic, but you have pretty much all the pieces on the board when you get there. Once the archetypal fits are known, the outcome is a close second.

Why the CCP obsessive compulsiveness with balance? Where is the chaos? Where is the choice?

Some examplesGǪ

Billions of people in the known universe and there is no innovation - Why does every ship have to be so uniform with minor tweaking of accepted fits? Why donGÇÖt they all have subsystems to foster innovation? Or even the ability to re-assign slots?

Systems strewn across the galaxy and there is no randomness of space GÇô Why are resources effectively equal? Why arenGÇÖt some other parts of the galaxy more ore rich? Why not some with ice? Why has scarcity not invigorated trade or warfare?

Where is the specialisation? - Why is everyone equally good at refining? Why is everyone equally good at manufacturing?

A dynamic universe is a healthy universe. I see thousands of worlds where people are running numbers at the margins like ten thousand others. The few who have found a way to differentiate or who can meta game are Kings.

I say, we should unleash the chaos and if required the madness.

CCP - pour in the sand.

...

You really thought that was a rant?

T3 subsystems only exist thanks to the Sleeper technology, which Capsuleer get by committing genocide.

why is everyone telling op he is wrong he has obviously played the game for a while and made up his opinion you dont need to 'HELP' him stop perceiving something he truly feels .

Because his post is poorly written, inconsiderate, and rude. Those things are fine when we banter and fight among ourselves, but he brought CCP into it.

His post is personal honest and an outcry over something that is personaly heartfelt. He has the right tio be inconsiderate to the devs feelings because he is a paying customer and he deserves a total and honest opinion on the product he pays for and dedicates his life to.

also he brought ccp into it because ccp is the only one who can change what he is talking about... are you protecting your friend ccp here?

I think your going to take some flak for that stance. The whole "he has the right to be inconsiderate" thing is just doomed. And honestly I don't think the OP really thought about it, I think he just had a clever idea as far as how to illustrate a perceived problem and typed it up and posted just to see what would happen.

Going to be an interesting thread to follow.

Lulz, CCP's "protector"

No, I feel that the OP's opinion is valid, but with more careful presentation his idea's may help to solidify and make more clear the direction that players would like to see in Eve.

As posted I think it will have the opposite effect, creating distance between devs and players where none needs to exist.

I often wonder.

Do the rediculously stupid among us live in sheer bliss, or are they all bitter and unhappy.
Reading some of the things they'll write, it seems like they're a rather unhappy lot.

Is this correct? Are the unimaginably stupid really unhappy, or are they like the rest of us normal people and it's a case by case thing?

maybe god forbid ... they are unhappy?

It doesnt' matter how proffesion or grown up you are.

There's a difference between providing genuine criticism and being an offensive douche bag. I've got decades worth of experience hearing "you suck".

I did not develop my art to the level it's at today based on "you suck" I did so based on proper criticism that helped me to identify where I needed improvement.

well op did write a little more than you suck really didnt he?

i think he delivered quite appropriatley his own opinion. also he didnt attack devs he attacked eve being sucky... in his terminology that probably means unsatisfying ;)

rawwwwrgg!!!!blablabla.

CCP fix the blue blob, null sec super coalition, tech monopoly bulls**t or I'm gone. You've got till the end of this sub cycle (about 3 months).

Players need to band together and show CCP that pandering to the RMTers will cost them. Tired of Goons having the final say. We outnumber THEM and soon they're going to find that out.

That's all I'm going to say and that's all players need to start saying. fix the goddamned game, stop putting color lines in space that were 100% unnecessary and start fixing the damn game. If I don't see some progress in 3 months, you can kiss my ass and my money goodbye. Period. Sick and tired of begging and pleading with you people.

As an artist, criticism is something I'm very familliar with and understand that negative criticism is the best way to learn and grow.

There is no blue donut. Sov changes happen everyday and the current situation is just barely stable. You are a 2 month player or something, how are you qualified to make judgements about null sec politics? Let alone demand that CCP "fix" them.

As for tech, the price of T2 goods is held in check by the drop rates for meta 3 and 4 gear. Its a good gig for Goons, but far from something that is out of control.

Many people love the nav lines and it was not a big job to implement.

Start making constructive, well thought out posts and people may start listening to you. To date you have made a complete and total ass of yourself; acting like you were someone high up in Test who "blew a whistle" then that post the other day full of left handed questions.

Just stop talking about how you wish things were and play the game for a while. You are probably never going to catch the leaders, if you cant handle that then go play another game.
