god forbid the game should help newbies figure out what's going on

God forbid they ask someone who knows how the skill system works. Now no one knows where to find x skill off the top of their head.

Communication in an MMO.... NEVER!

also please remove 'spastic' from your post it's a hurtful and outdated word

Hey guys,

Considering CCP's new approach at making this game new player friendly (Playable by more 12 year old splurging spastics) We have now been introduced to a new way of layout out skills.

Following the new pattern of putting skills that affect fitting into the engineering into an engineering tab ect,, Does it really make sense that skills with different attributes are also in the same tab.

examples:

Weapon Upgrades: Perception Memory
Advanced Weapon Upgrades: Perception Willpower

compared to

CPU Managment: Inteligence Memory

Literaly makes no sense.

Please think about all aspects of the changes you make in future. instead of directly focusing on making the skills system dribbler proof.

Please discuss your grievances below.

No it's not, and it's quite accurate when describing average 12 year olds, who are over-excitable, clumsy, and hyperactive.

Maybe you meant the American slang: "Spaz"?

it's an old word used to describe people with cerebral palsy, but people began using it in a derogatory manner. it's unfairly hurtful.

that doesn't excuse its use when you're told it's hurtful

no-one uses it to desribe people with cerebral palsy anymore, because people had started to use it as an insult. this was twenty years ago. i'm sure you can think of other words that have changed in meaning over the years. language isn't something defined by a dictionary, it is always changing.

hey.
just to make it clear, i have petitioned this thread, and i will do again - but asking for a account ban.

i find this as bad as racism..........


yes maybe you think im over reacting - but if i used the word "n***er" im sure i would get banned.... yet some cultures accept it, the modern world doest (apart from rap)


lack of education isnt a excuse

A white knight appears...

I suggest referencing a dictionary before getting all worked up, you know, to educate yourself.

Indeed it is. And it's up to people who use the language properly to not allow otherwise acceptable words to fall out of use simply because someone decides that one day they'll use it as an epithet.

there's no such thing as 'properly' when it comes to language.

sorry my friend, i actually have a learning difficulty , which technically 20+ years ago would have classified me as a spastic - yet my education would deem me as upper class

and right now, it is an offensive word.

(ressive, racism was a example, i could be homophobic - again something ccp choose to ignore - but im not bringing that up)

How is describing certain behaviour as 'spastic' like racism ?

and right now, it is an offensive word.

No, right now you are choosing to be offended by it. The word itself is no more offensive than any other that might describe the same behavior. Just because you have internalized an incorrect definition for the word based on your generational upbringing does not mean that the rest of us must conform to an improper usage and find cause to be offended as well.

i am not. i am telling you that a good number of people will be hurt by the word's use. hurtful is the only thing the word is in the modern language. it is therefore not ok to use it.

Ignorant people may have classified you as spastic, but that doesn't make it so. You are only spastic if you are being spastic, in which case it is merely a description of your current behavior, and not a reflection on your being.

this is actually a good example. you consider this word racist? there was a time where it was socially acceptable and not considered offensive. the meaning of the word changed.

does anyone want to argue that it is ok for them to use this racist and hurtful word, because at one time it was not offensive?

As far as I know, the racial slur you referenced only has one meaning. You mention homophobia, but a common slang term to refer to a homosexual also can refer to a cigarette, or bundle of sticks depending on how/where it is used (context).

there is no proper context. no professional uses the word anymore. the medical community now uses other terms. they started using other words because people started using this word as a derogotary word.

It being hurtfull is not the reason for it to be off-limits. This word was socially acceptable to slave owners ... your argument is invalid.

rage edit

to everyone at the time, actually. it was a correct word to use to describe a black person back then.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
