I too need spinners, hydraulics, and a Pinkie Pie themed custom paint job for my L4 Mission Raven. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Out of curiosity, what designs would you want? Flame blue? Pin stripes? Bumble bee? Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Out of curiosity, what designs would you want? Flame blue? Pin stripes? Bumble bee? You have a limited imagination. Let the artists take over this job, instead of the coders.
You didn't answer the question. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

I hate all the new skins, but would still want to paint my ship. That is a really ****-poor comparison that has basically nothing to do with the subject at hand. the question is: is this a "test" of the technology or a "test" of how players take to the skins?
Test of the popularity of the skins, since developing the technology to do it well is going to be resource intensive. This was all outlined in the blog.
So if you want more options, you're going to have to vote with your wallet. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

I've got a song for you,

But I'll take out the most important quote for you.
Quote: All we ever want is indecision All we really like is what we know
You may ask, how does that apply here? Well, those 2 lines perfectly describe this community. People have long lists of undefined wants that CCP should work on, however whenever CCP starts trying to implement one they get an inevitable backlash. For any feature, there is a group that opposes it for some reason. And, for some features, people don't really know what they want, they just know that they want it now.

For example, you talk about how you want better options, however you are unable to clearly articulate the alternative you have in mind. In many ways, you are behaving exactly like Rainbow Dash saying that you just want it to be cooler, but being unable to explain how to make it cooler or what is uncool about it.
Rarity, of course, plays the role of CCP here trying to balance the sea of feedback and ideas from her customers in order to make something they will enjoy and, in this episode, giving them exactly what they want doesn't work out so well.
Simply put, CCP is, like Rarity, a professional. Someone who has been in the business a long time and knows what a good idea and a bad idea sound like. CCP is going to balance player feedback with their own ideas and experience to create a solution that doesn't please everyone, but gets the job done.
CCP is doing a controlled experiment to gauge interest using the market, because that is the best way to do it. Since most people don't really know what they want until they see it, it's the only good way of determining if this idea is worth developing further. Things are only impossible until they are not. |
