Pran Chole	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:38:00 - [1] Dear CCP, We just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful things you've done for us over the years. We wouldn't be where we are today without your continued support! Here are a few of the high points that have had the biggest impact for us: GUI We learned a great deal from you here and we strive to reach the same pinnacle of achievement you have. The mouse manufacturers haven't been this happy since Diablo II. We were good at wearing out the left button with Diablo II, but never attained the level of mastery that you guys clearly have over the right mouse button. The customizable GUI of World of Warcraft alone has swayed many of your customers. We can't thank you enough for your shoddy workmanship in this area. I think if you tried a little harder you could eliminate the keyboard requirement entirely. Thank you for neglecting the very interface for so long! Documentation Now, we admit, releasing the World of Warcraft with a game manual that cited features that weren't implemented for years was bad form, but you guys took it to the next level. We never thought of abstaining from manuals entirely, let alone omitting online documentation completely. We lost track of how many of your trial account users became our paying customers simply because they could figure the game out. New player Experience We're glad your tutorial is unbelievably long and tedious. I can't imagine how we would have grown had you taken the time to simplify the early game experience for your users. Insurmountable Training Time Your skill training system scared us a bit there in the beginning. Would the ability to train skills while not playing prevent us from capturing so much of your customer base? It would seem so at first, but when a newbie takes one look at that 300 day plan to get a capital ship? That 90 day plan to fly a T2 cruiser? They ran towards us and we welcomed them with open arms. Astronomical Ship Prices Say nothing of the intimidating prices of the tech II ships and items. You scared us a bit with Invention there. The prices of T2 items dropped so drastically you had us worried. Those absurd monopolies you and a few of your close friends had over the T2 market had us sleeping like babies at night. We were worried a bit there. But we feel much better now with the prices of Bombs, fighters and Tech II battleships. Those six figure price tags are anti-sirens for newbies and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Trust & Favoritism We want to personally thank T20 for what he's done to destroy trust in CCP. Not to mention the Internal Affairs oversight that allowed a dev blog to be posted about a single player corp. We couldn't believe that - in the same post - you both extolled your even handedness and gave special treatment to a player corp owned, operated and now publicly acknowledged to be full of CCP employees. Without this complete lack of trust we could not have added so many mature players to our playerbase. Thanks! Lag Your unsharded server universe initially frightened us. We were worried that you had something that we could not hope to match with a player base the size of ours. But we've been reassured by it's demonstrated lack of scalability. A single node crash bringing down the whole server? Fleet battles where the worst enemy is lag? Dying before the game finishes loading? We could not have asked for such performance.
Pran Chole	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:39:00 - [2] Overpopulation Centers We realized that having most of your players in one place would be problematic, so we took steps to spread them out and it worked beautifully. Even Teldrassil has people in it most of the time. Linking the auction houses between the capital cities was an elegant solution to our overconcentrated player problems. We were afraid that, on seeing us solve the problem in just a few months you guys up at the top of the world world implement a similar solution to resolve the lagtraps that are Jita, Motsu, Rens and Saila. Thankfully, thus far your attempts have been largely ineffectual. We hope you continue to implement only semi-effective solutions to combat these problems so that more and more of your customers become exclusively our customers. Unbalanced Races We strived very hard to make sure that World of Warcraft was playable in all areas by all classes roughly equally well. We would like to thank you for not being as careful. The complete dominance of Caldari specializing players and caldari ships in missions is a great boon to our bank accounts. We welcome all those Amarr players to our servers with open arms. And let's not forget all those disheartened players that spent months specializing in drone skills only to find out that using them in missions is costly at best, and frequently suicidal. Drone aggro warms our hearts! Say nothing of the exercise in frustration that is your drone-UI. We mastered pet control in beta, our confidence was indeed bolstered by the fact that four years have gone by and you have not yet done it. Inane Features Your developer's obsession with new code and lack of supervision has made us very confident that your market share will never threaten ours and we thank you. Heat? Ambulation? Bombs? Wonderful impediments to sucess! We thank you for seeing to these things first rather than fixing the myridad severe problems with EVE. Our userbase has never grown faster. And one easy-win feature that all players could benefit from remains collecting dust on the drawing table. We hope you never implement a skill training queue! After all, CCP, EVE belongs to you, not your players. And you don't need skill queues since you're encouraged, no required to log in at work. Sincerely, Blizzard

Transcendant One	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:42:00 - [4] Amusing. Though you make no mention of all the good things eve has going for it, but yeah some worthy points in there.
Reverend Revelator Elite Storm Enterprises	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:43:00 - [5] You forgot to diss the website, which is so amateurish Parker Brothers would have been ashamed of it in 1992. Special mention for a profanity filter so stupid it actually filters the word 'sa***uard' -- Dead People Laugh At The Murder Of Love --

Darken Two Gallente Pure Vitriol	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:48:00 - [9] Leave now....and don't bother coming back. What a bloody waste of bandwidth.

Kwint Sommer Incoherent Inc Otaku Invasion	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:49:00 - [10] Edited by: Kwint Sommer on 22/10/2007 19:49:32 CCP has the better game concept and Blizzard has the better implementation. The sad part is that in the last year the core problems with the game like the UI and lag don't seem to have been improved in the least. Supposedly they have a need for speed initiative and a new drone UI in the works but they've put out more information about ambulation....it gets irritating to say the least.

Indigo Johnson Minmatar	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:50:00 - [11] Dear Lorde man, create a blog and dump this lunacy there

Garrik Doran Nova Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.22 19:54:00 - [13] Oh no one disses Amarr. It's a sexy race despite drawbacks. I should let a fedo fester in your cofee and cast you into the slave pits for that jab. Why specialize when i can fly everything!

Dirk Magnum Red Light Enterprises Eastern Star Federation	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:08:00 - [17] Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 22/10/2007 20:09:54 Never mind all the other rampant idiocy by the OP, but did he really complain about not having to use the keyboard as much in Eve as in WoW? I've played other MMO's, and durr hold down the arrow key to move durr hit the same pattern of f-keys repeatedly for every enemy fought.... come on. Mouse rules.
Faye Valerii Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:15:00 - [18] It's funny 'cause it's true. Sometimes I'm amazed at how some small infuriating and easily fixed GLARING issues get put on the backburner for literally years on end. In the meanwhile valuable code monkey time is spent on imo useless things such as heat. On the other hand EVE has many redeeming qualities or I'd have stopped playing a long time ago. But it's good to see my main annoyances explained so eloquently : )

Cailais Amarr VITOC Fang Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:20:00 - [20] Dear Blizzard, Thankyou for your kind words of support we're delighted that you recognise so many of our unique features. We're even more delighted at the increasing number of WOW players that (having become nigh on comatose grinding goblins) have come looking for a more 'challenging game' and found Eve Online - many vowing never to go back! In addition we're lucky to have on our forums an instanced* retort to any nubby comments to get rid of pesky whinging morons - thats right; Go back to WOW! All the best from your buddies in EVE. * See what I did there C. - sig designer - eve mail Low Sec Idea

Ironass Amarr Thundercats RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:22:00 - [21] oh dear god... please go hardcore raiding for 2years and come back and dare say that again. You can't fool me, you have NOT been radiing for over a year. De-sync Online... =(
osahar	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:22:00 - [22] Sad, but true! CCP has lot to learn from Blizzard.

Melor Rend	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:26:00 - [24] this thread is full of fail.... epic fail! WoW is -> that way don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
Sirial Soulfly	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:31:00 - [25] Its a lot more original than the standard whine, I laughed. +1
Deanna Nuchi	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:36:00 - [26] He is pretty much spot on about some of the issues EVE has. EVE is special though, regardless of its many problems, people will continue to play, more and more people (ok, loads more accounts) will start up. He did forget to mention some of EVEs 'SPECIAL' players, a more demented and stupid bunch I have never seen in any MMO ever... Devs should patent whatever it is that has made EVE so much more addictive than other MMOs, although I'm not sure they know either
MotherMoon Huang Yinglong Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:38:00 - [27] errr, and epic loot in wow is not expensive??? what's you point in ships costing lots of money??? ----------------------------------- I'm working my way through college target CCP need...more room...
Jevnikar	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:38:00 - [28] Blizzard guys would never have writen smth like that, mostly cus generation playing eve doesnt conflict much with wow or the gametype. rgr oh lock the thread before this goes to far click click...
citizen amarr33sd3g4	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:45:00 - [29] He reminds me of me before I realized why I did not play wow in the first place.
Cyberflayer Vagabonds Unincorporated	Posted - 2007.10.22 20:45:00 - [30] Dear Blizzard, Thanks for taking all our pansies who can't adapt to issues blown out of proportion by their egocentrism, and those who can't accept flaws along with remarkable gameplay and galactic socioeconomic ballet. It's really gone a long way towards making EVE a better game. Except all those whiners keep coming back for some reason...maybe they do care after all. - Blog Below
