This.
EVE was never perfect but we all remember back to when CCP kept trying to make it better bothe by adding cool new stuff and by addressing old issues..
Then CCP stopped trying to improve the game and we became bitter. Wherever You Went - Here You Are |

Jenell Sevidon wrote:The problem is that CCP adresses game balance, which is crucial for a pvp game with the speed of a glacier. Balancing is something that needs constant attention and possibly adjustment but with CCP it seems they look at things only once every few years or so.
0.0 and how the situation evolved there is an example. People have warned for years of the capital ship and supercapital blobs. Moongoo-balance was another thing. Now alliances get rich by just owning space and without actively using their space. Billions are made with POS on high end moons while the rest of the space is effectivly abandoned.
And the corrupt CSM wants 0.0 to be the only source of high end minerals which will take even more away from the average player to give it to the alliances bot farms.

Wrong. I happen to agree very strongly. Too many people care more about ISK than about the actual game. I prefer being poor and having fun than being rich and boring myself to tears. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. |

They play the game for years until they're tired of it, and yet can't seem to quit. So they're bitter and cranky. I've seen it in other games, and it almost always seem to be something like that. |

because a once epic game that had its issues was fun, CCP stopped caring about what the players wanted and pursued some vision that isnt even technically possible at this point in time, wait a ew years CCP then try again. |

for some people, being a vet equates to having become emotionally invested in EvE by virtue of having played it so long. When things change in a way that doesn't suit them, they freak out a little and stomp their feet and cry and cry and cry.
having been here 6 years or so, I would consider myself a vet. remembering this is just a game and it's completely beyond my control and if I don't like it my only choice is to cancel my subscription prevents me becoming bitter. |

Alright - an aspect that makes me bitter is learning to copy and paste a forum reply so when these new forums eats the first version, I can quickly paste my reply without having to rewrite it again...
...and now that I am bitter, my original reply can wait since this Dr. Pepper and a sack of whitey-one-bites (White Castles) require further attention. |

Give me back a cruise missle rifter, dual MWD Raven, Nano Vagabond, and all of the other fun things that made the game fun before.

0-Sec people creating themselves a very stable and very boring empire. --> Become bitter.
People that used to do great projects and events leaving --> makes me bitter.
A Jaegermeister helps in both cases. First needs a bottle, second a shot. Always settles the stomach though.
Playerbase has changed. 0-Sec ain't all. Vote for different CSM next time. |

Hayaishi wrote:No, really, what is it? Honestly, someone who hasn't been around a long time couldn't possibly understand what bitter vets are bitter about. This is because those who weren't around don't have the concept of "before X happened" and "after X happened" and simply writing it up doesn't nearly come close to experiencing the impact of a change or the impact of not having the change happen even though it was a long time coming.
Players who have been with this game since retail boxes were first sold have experienced the diverging paths of where the players think the game should have gone and where CCP took it.
Next up is to make EVE a The Sims in space to make it more mainstream friendly and there will be yet more bitter vets. Though from my point of view you are not a vet unless you own a 1st release retail box. Folks who started in 2006 aren't vets. Want to beat the Goons at Forum Warfare? Leave the thread as soon as one of them replies to it and never go back. |

I am not a 'vet' but I have answers for you anyway.
1. Programming-wise. CCP sux. I spent 10 years as a control systems engineering programmer. CCP has managed to ignore every 'Good programming, software project management' guideline that I have ever heard of.
Go to any bookstore, or do it on line. Look at the index of any book on software development. If you don't immediately start seeing issues, go back to Mario Brothers.
2. I started playing two years ago with the expectation of seeing something that might turn into a full immersion space exploration simulation. Kind of like what NASA promised, but the Americans don't have the education or money for any more.
Now we have . . . Castle Wolfenstein Moves to New Eden.
We aren't all like you. I've met several people who actually do research on mining methods and things like that. Real research. Tests. Experiments. Never heard of those? Too bad.
Anyway, the simulation is turning into crap at about the same rate that the player base is losing whatever brain cells it started out with. Morals and ethics went out the window long ago,
No. For many people who have played for more than a week, it's not a game. It's an opportunity to show what the human race could turn into if it had the chance.
What does the Eve future look like to me? Luddites. Back To The Cave Cultists. A few enclaves of humans among a mass of savages. Maybe it will last another year. Maybe not.
Post Apocalypse? Poorly done? Yes.
I play my 4 accounts in single player mode now. Its pretty much the only way I can stand it.

A bittervet: Is someone who cares about the game. Typically, they've participated in testing when CCP has asked. They've provided feedback when asked. They've jumped through all the hoops to make the game better through bug reports and petitions. And they've been completely ignored by CCP watching the same bugs in pre-release content appear in released content. They've had their skills, abilities and assets nerfed after spending years reaching a pinnacle of success. And they're pretty much tired of listening to CCP pay lip service to the player base and watching the masses believe it time after time.

Wrong. The only thing that hasn't changed in Eve is the number of paying customers. The game itself has had a lot of fat added to it along with more puerile programming errors . . . and now, total lack of foresight is causing storage issues.

while the colour choice is questionable, if you read the devblog you would understand why it took that amount of time to change the damn things

When you fully understand the game, it doesn't really have something to do with SP. Then you will see how many things are really broken, halve finished or could be a in a much better shape if CCP actually took the time to address feedback during introduction of stuff or during changes, instead of dropping the ball on it for years. One of the best examples would be blasters, where CCP had tons of feedback from vents 3 years ago, that the scram/web changes will compleetly nuke them on bigger hulls than frigs and all you get is a dev in charge for the change telling you about how you should fit medium turrets on BS or multispec ecms in your med slots to fix the problem. |

I don't mind change at all, in fact I welcome it, but it should be for the better.
Take for example the new cyno jumping effect. Sure it looks better than what we have at present, but we were promised awesome. We waited years for it and when it arrived, I watched it and thought meh.
Smartbomb effect bolted on, anyone?
I'm not even asking for the old effect to return, but couldn't CCP have done better? (at least the old one looked good)
CCP Zulu.....Forcing players to dock at the captain's quarters is a form of what we actually wanted to get through, which is making Incarna a seamless part of the EVE Online experience. |

Theres a good example of why people are bitter and why there will always be bitter people.
Whilst this issue may cause the poster genuine problems it probably has no effect on tens of thousands of others. If CCP changed that then it would make no difference to them who would be unhappy about their own personal issues.
The old saying goes you cant please all the people all of the time. CCP by neglecting Spaceships over WiS, Dust etc have in effect opted to please none of the people all of the time (well I guess Wis has its own supporters) but have clearly stated a change in direction now.
However much these changes that are planned please some people there will still be plenty of people who dont have the things they want change so they will be bitter.
Everyone has their own opinion of what Eve should be and what could be changed to make THEIR Eve experienced improved, but there is not one agreed direction that can be taken as it wont ever exist.
CCP's recent direction has made things worse but even when trying to focus on the spaceship games there will always be unhappy people because of the reasons above. |
