He had the chance in his interview with Xander Phoena to roll back his suggestion that all wardecs be consensual, and instead he doubled down. The justification he presented was CCPs revenues. Mutually consented war agreements are a far cry from the cold harsh universe of EVE. They are rightfully categorized as "Theme Park" proposals.
You're doing your IRL friend no favors by apologizing for his platform. |

Quoting Trebors exact answer does not change its implications or its content. In his own words, Trebor faults EVEs harsh player-created environment for costing CCP subscription revenue. He then comes out of left field and implies that this lost revenue is constraining development work on other features, and not for insistence, finer brands of caviar for Hilmar Peterson. Do I have to spell out Incarna for you? Greed is not good. Trying to appeal to a broader audience with "theme park" features and focusing excessively on CCPs bottomline is to the detriment of the EVE players experience. |

Being a highly a public figure, your controversial and unpopular opinions are well known, regardless of how many layers of plausible deniability you wrap them in. While it's true that you have cleverly avoided spelling outright what you want, no one will be surprised when you do. Back-pedaling from the inevitable implication of your statements, ie the removal of non-consensual wardecs, neither wins over your detractors nor cements you in the eyes of your supporters.
Let's look at an example of this political double-speak
Trebor Daehdoow wrote:...the discussion had touched on making it easier for groups who wanted to engage in mutual war...
An astute observer will immediately note that "Make it easier to engage in mutual war" is the euphemistic way of saying "make it harder to engage in a non-mutual war."
Face it Trebor, your platform is warmly receptive of the idea of dialing back the harsh player-driven environment of EVE in favor of mechanics-driven, unearned safety for players who chose to remain weak, disorganized and lazy. If EVE was KFC, you would be the vegetarian candidate. |

It's your story, you tell it.
And I'm a peaceful high sec citizen advocating for a more interesting, cutthroat and violent EVE. It takes all kinds.

He is in denial. |

Ignoring all meta and generic bullshit of the kids that think they know.
Game design is a about vision and reality.
Treb has shown that he can deal with that.
Couldn't agree more. Game design is all about Trebor's vision and not what all the players want. |
