Xinivrae, you are irrelevant.

Other poster, why sit here, like a rock, and endure something that could be a good game turn into a bad game, when there is something that can be done about it?

I don't play any other online games, or any other games of any type, as I have said many times. Why would I leave this one instead of trying to make it better?

EDIT: Is that the way you address all problems? If you run into one, run away? Sorry, I'm not that kind of person.

What if CCP is building a game that isn't what people want to play? I keep playing because there are parts of the game I like, even though I don't like most of it. After reading the CSM7 Meeting Minutes, it appears that CCP is responsible for a lot of the things I don't like.

Pretty easy thread to summarize:

CCP: The company who created and guided an MMORPG to 10 years of success in a highly-competitive industry. An industry that kills weak games and companies without mercy.

OP: A bitter player who has accomplished nothing in the gaming industry but thinks he knows more about what CCP should do than CCP itself. When he quits EVE, he'll proclaim that the game is dead to make himself feel better about himself.

Haven't we seen this thread a thousand times before?

It's not running away it's understanding some elementary basics:

1. "good" and "bad" doesn't exists. those are personal opinions, therefore more or less illusions. whats bad for you is good for someone else and the other way round

2. people always tried to make things "better". in other words to turn them into something they find more attractive. but maybe its losing attraction for somebody else then. who shall be attracted more? you? why?

3. A lot of valuable feedback is raining down on CCP every day, why not trust them to just take the things into account they want to use for their vision of the game and reject others they don't? They made this thing man! they know most about it and they have the bigger picture most single players cannot have!

4. "running away" in this case is just looking for something else that fits your persona more, your needs and requirements. The world is rich mate, why trying to change stuff instead of exploring it and trying too find somehting that suits you way better?

see its not about accepting everything, its about how you communicate. is it complaining and whining and somelike like "its bad, its getting worse, that has to improve..." or is it just constructive like "this and that could improve a situtation that in my opinion could be more pleasurable for more people than only me.."

.. and mate, in the end everything is a matter of attitude, things shine when you see em shine

Well, duh. They're also responsible for the things you do like.

Don't like a lot of things... and yet, here you are, posting about the game you claim to not like very much. Seems to me that CCP has your number down cold.

I want them to change it so that I do like it, AGAIN. Did you miss that part?

Did you miss my point? You're here, you're still playing the game. CCP has no incentive to change things to suit you.

Aren't you interested in having the game better for YOU?

Of course they are, why do you think they're disagreeing with you? Hmm... Perplexing...

EDIT: I've already shut down three of my accounts. CCP didn't care about that either. Aren't you interested in having the game better for YOU?

It's like you filter out literally every valid point people make, you're an incredibly fascinating being to study.

There are people in this world who are different than you and like different things. Where you see an improvement, they see a detriment. The important thing for CCP to weigh is how many people will a change in YOUR favor affect in a negative way? You don't see that, though. You just keep saying "I want these changes for me and that's all that matters, no one else's opinion counts."

Hehe. I haven't asked for specific changes. I've only asked if if other people see a need for a change.

Do you feel like a fool now? I don't.

People asked for what you want changed and you mentioned hi-sec ganking. Good job, there's one, and people told you their opinions, you called them wrong because you have no idea how anything works, and then went on this same thing of "stop having different opinions than me, guys."

So no, I feel like you should either get to requesting specific changes or deal with the game we have now, because for a guy that can't leave problems lying around, you're making absolutely no progress in addressing them.

"CCP ignores feedback. That's the whole point of this thread.

I am not capable of running away from problems. If something needs to be fixed, I do the best I can to fix it."

So what's the basis on that statement if you've asked for no changes? Please, help us help you, or you will continue to flail about here going on about how nothing's changing when you ask for nothing. People asked for what you want changed and you mentioned hi-sec ganking. Good job, there's one, and people told you their opinions, you called them wrong because you have no idea how anything works, and then went on this same thing of "stop having different opinions than me, guys."

I'm sorry, but opinions like yours are not the ones I am interested in. Try looking for the posts that agree with me. There aren't many, but are we the crazy ones? I wouldn't keep posting if I thought we were.

People, save yourself some time. If you don't like the thread, ignore it.

I don't agree that more shiney upgrades are going to save the game, though. It appears to me, and maybe me only, that when CCP reaches their goal, whatever that is, we're all going to be neck deep in faeces in an uninhabitable universe. Then the games of 'Russin Sleigh Ride' will start, excpet that people will be volunteering to be thrown to the wolves.

Ok. Let me put it this way. Is there any way for US to find out how many active, non-trial, accounts there actually are?

5. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.


6. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing GÇ£in characterGÇ¥ disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.


7. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.
