Right there is where you did it. Herp, derp, derp.

Metrics is a common method... tracking what triggers increase in customer activity.

Maybe you missed the part where I said that yes, I'm pretty sure they did that.

What survey?

Look. The forums are a hotbed of ignorance of trolling. Threads are usually locked down on a daily basis. How can you tell me with a straighface that the forums are some holy form of euridite uptopia.

I think you think of yourself as some devine incarnation of the mouthpeice of the playerbase simply because you found the forums. Any fool can google "EVE forums" and if they figure out how to type in their user name and password then they are on their way to generating text whether people want it or not.

You aren't any more deserving of playing EVE than someone who doesn't play forum warrior.

And you are only making yourself look like a fool if you say CCP doesn't care about the majoirty of the non-forum players.

Or are you going to tell us that CCP doesn't care about making profits so they can't pay their employees because they decided that they didn't need the majority of their subscriptions who never visted the forums.

Again, nowhere did I even remotely suggest that. That's at least two steps of spectacular failure of reading comprehension away from anything I've said.

It's on the bottom of the EVE launcher, below the loading bar.

You wouldnt even know about it if you have it set to automatically launch.

And question... How is CCP listening to people who don't care enough to post of the forums? Do you mean the survey? Are you really telling us that that CCP should just ignore all the effort they put into making the survey in the first place?

There are seriously people who believe that not posting in the forums means you don't care about the game? Wow... just... wow. I'm sorry, but some people refuse to deal with trolls, have their ideas rudely torn apart with no constructive criticism, and I could really write a book report on reasons why someone might care but not post in the forums. Dear lord I hope these people are trolling and avoid any and all jobs where they have to serve customers, because that's the kind of attitude that destroys pretty much any company.

More like one step, but still one step too many since you never said anything about CCP, just your thought that their opinions didn't matter... tone it back a notch, Captain.

So you agree with me that CCP should not offend the majority of their paying user base regardless if they post on the forums or not?

I'm not mad. I'm just enjoying winning this round as a forum warrior.

Funnily enough I never said there wasn't a problem with what they were already doing, I was just saying there's a problem with you thinking that forum goers are the only ones whose opinions really mattered... so yeah, gg I guess.

Again, how are you getting that I'm saying CCP should ignore anyone? I'm the one saying they should be listening to the people who are talking.

Sorry but what he implied was that only the forum members matter which basically implied that CCP was to throw all the non-forum members under the bus.

So we at least agree that CCP should listen to the survey?

Unvoiced opinions dont matter, just saying. its hard to say someone HAS an opinion if theya rent voicing it, which requires a written/verbalized medium, which is 99% of the time linked in or through these forums.

Since I explicitly said the exact opposite of this all the way back at the top of page two, I can only assume you are trolling at this point.

And the suggestion that you ignore the vocal ones helps this... how?

Most players don't post on the forums

If someone cant be bothered to post, I cant be bothered to listen- and neither should CCP

Try applying that in the business world and see how far it gets you. (hint: not far)

We're the only players that matter... the only ones that care enough to take time to come here
