What I don't get, is why anyone would play at full screen. I get infuriated when mmos developed today don't offer borderless windowed. I mean, what century are these people living in? full screen was out of date once DOS mode games became playable in a window.

Because you don't want irrelevant bits of UI to intrude on your game, or the OS to start reacting to input you have no intent to give to the OS?
Never been an issue for me. Hell, when I did play EvE full screen it made doing anything else on my computer much more irritating.

Meh. vOv It's the opposite for me: Gîÿ-tabbing out has never been an issue or cause for irritation, but random bits of unrelated UI intruding on my game has.
When you say random bits of UI, what are you talking about?

I mean, what century are these people living in? full screen was out of date once DOS mode games became playable in a window. Because when I'm playing Eve I refere to be immersed with the whole screen and hate having other things on my screen such as the windows bar / whatever. Not to mention when I'm playing, my pc is used solely to play Eve, aka I'm not browsing reddit, imgur, talking on steam or whatever else people do when they play. Edit: Long story short, if a game (any game) can be played in fullscreen, I will play said game in fullscreen...
EvE for me looks exactly the same as EvE does for you. Not considering graphics settings that is.

Notifications, start menus, title bars, docks, widgets, those win7/win8 trinket whatchamacallits. All the stuff that some silly person thought should be proximity or gesture triggered. Really, the key benefit of fullscreen is that it steals all focus and does not let anything else trigger based on your input unless you very specifically set it up that way.
Well, guess I've never had that problem in any borderless windowed game I play. That's going all the way back to AO.

No, I've given up on CCP seeing that particular light. Just like WTZ and other bad ideas left there to make things easier for lazy people.
