Kaarous Aldurald ROC Deep Space The ROC 4586	Posted - 2014.04.10 22:51:00 - [1] - Quote Karak Kashada wrote: masternerdguy wrote: Karak Kashada wrote: My wife, who was carrying more than her load at work as a result of other employees' laziness, approached her employer for a raise. She was told that she would receive nickel more per hour after a certain amount of time had passed, and that similar raises would be forthcoming on the same principle. She quit soon thereafter. So she was going to get her raise then? Yep. A nickel. After 5 months or something. And so were all the deadbeats she was carrying... after their five months. CCP must have modeled their pilot advancement system after this business's compensation-increase model. Then why still play? I'm serious. If you find it that objectionable to have to deal with not having instant gratification, then contract me your stuff and quit. If you hate the game that much, then you're a toxic player who will just drive away subs anyway.

And since being popular is not why I play a MOG, that doesn't concern me. This whole thread was to point out what I see as a major flaw in the game. And one that will lose CCP a customer (and others that I might have brought along with me). If CCP doesn't care about that, then I see no reason for them to encourage feedback. But since they do ask for it, I offered mine. Seeing how you behave when you don't get your way on every little thing? I'd say it's a net gain for the playerbase. What you call "A major flaw", I call "one of the major reasons I play this game". The skillpoint system is specifically designed to NOT put mindless grinding as being the primary factor between players. If that's a problem for you, then beat it, and go to an MMO where running the rat wheel is encouraged.

They don't care when some WoW baby comes in to tell them that the fundamental way their game works is wrong. That's just your hubris, trying to inflate your importance to greater than the speck that it is.

I thought EVE was about doing what you want, and not being like the mindless masses. Seems like the universe just got a lot smaller than EVE veterans were leading us all to believe. While you can try whatever you want, you are not guaranteed to succeed at whatever you try. To expect such is quite simply childish.

While you can try whatever you want, you are not guaranteed to succeed at whatever you try. Indeed. Nor are you guaranteed to fail. I seem to recall someone posting something about being more imaginative that the masses... one minute it's good, the next it's bad. Crazy, eh? Kaarous Aldurald wrote: To expect such is quite simply childish. I agree. If you make the wrong choices, yes you are guaranteed to fail. Trying something new and succeeding is called being imaginative. Trying something new and failing is called being an idiot.

If you disagree with it, so be it, but my perception cannot be any more or less flawed than your own. So you are appointing yourself as the objective and reliable observer and we are all just irrational trolls who don't understand you? That's intellectual dishonesty for you.

Suggesting that it should be, is suggesting that the game should be grind to win. And since the entire premise of the game's skill system consists of NOT running the rat wheel, your statement is asinine.

They would be encouraged to know that all they need to dominate those three Catalysts blasting holes in their hull is a little bit o' "player skill." If they only knew it were so easy. Oh... you weren't talking about mining vessels, were you. You were talking about cargo ships. All the highsec miner needs to survive is to put even the tiniest amount of effort towards his own defense.
