I'd just like to say on behalf of the majority of players please don't listen to the vocal minority. The majority of players are extremely happy with all of the improvements to the game and please don't be disheartened by listening to the whines and moans of the ungrateful vocal minority whom you can never please.
We the silent majority are very happy with the game and any and all improvements!
Thank you CCP! We love ya lots!

Edited by: Amastat on 17/05/2008 07:29:25 I think CCP is doing fine right now - they shouldn't ignore us: wither it be the vocals or the other 80% of the players. However, most of the stuff that goes on the forums, the complaints in particular IS flawed, useless, bullcrap - that's for sure.
So - I say: Keep it up, just make sure you know what is educated and meaningful complaints and opinions, and ignore what is useless whining, hypochondria, trolling, and even anti-ccp stunts.
As to the sources of the OP: it wouldn't be accurate to say you speak for the rest of EVE - it would require a survey and/or poll to do that, and chances are you can't get everyone to participate completely. However - I wouldn't be surprised if your not far off - most of the people I know who do not use the forums are perfectly content with the game, that's probably how it is for almost all of the people who don't use the forums.
In all seriousness, if they are ****ed about the game, why don't they eventually come to the forums to complain? That says it all right there. ____________________

Absolutely, I think this is more what I meant, of course the vocal minority may on occasion have valid points that are representative of the community as a whole but my real point is please CCP after working so darn hard on certain improvements don't be disheartened by listening to the whines of a minority of the players.

I have faith in what they do though - people have been idiots and whined for 5 years now and they haven't let it destroy the game yet. But yes, they should keep doing that... If CCP actually gave into the bullcrap, the game would go down under real fast - that is a promise. ____________________

Because your the silent majority doesn't mean you can't post here and there. You only quality to be dubbed a vocal if you post frequently.
It's probably more accurate to call it the non-vocal majority. Very few people are completely silent, most of them have used the forums here and there, but only barely. ____________________

I agree with the general idea of this thread. Most people are pretty content with most things.
It's just that some got into a sandbox looking for a theme park and others have a perpetually "half-full" glass which you could never please.
If you gave them the "Matrix" they would complain that the dress is too red.
If you try to please everyone, you will please no one.
Just do what makes sense to you.

I'm sure CCP would rather see people whining and moaning than having to just hope that people are still taking an interest in their baby.
People wouldn't moan about Eve if they didn't care.

The silent majority is busy playing the game and won't talk on forums, so by definition you aren't one of them. Neither am I for that matter.  ---

The Vocal Minority as to My Nagging Mother?
You tell me the differences:
Vocal Minority: cry cry cry nerf nerf cry cry cry carebears cry cry CCP sucks cry cry cry cry cry whine whine cry cry cry nerf cry cry nerf end of EVE cry whine whine panic whine
Nagging Mother: nag nag nag nag cook this nag nag nag nag do this nag nag why don't you nag nag nag nag naggidy nig nag nig nerg nag nag nagbania nig nag nag nag nag
The greatest thing in common is no matter what you do, you CANNOT EVER PLEASE them, and they will NEVER STOP. ____________________

Is that what you are going to encourage Ankhesentapemkah to say to CCP IF she gets voted in? "Everything is fine CCP, no problem CCP, the game is perfect CCP, don't listen to your customers as they are all wrong, we know better because some people gave their opinions in a CSM thread."
"We the silent majority..." If they are silent how do you know their opinions? You have spoken to thousands of subscribers?
"We the silent majority" are exactly that, silent. If they were not happy i'm sure a bad word would spread twice as fast as a good word. 
Hmmm, are you sure you are not Ankhesentapemkah's alt?
Although the CCP crew are talented bunch, the sun doesn't quite shine out their arse.

Dunno where you been but no one is saying that. Everyones saying for CCP to keep it up, sort the sane suggestions/complaints from the insane ones.
As for the 'silent majority' - I don't know why everyone is saying this because: They don't exist.
There is a non-vocal majority. The silent ones are probably a minority, the majority is those who sparsely use the forums, the ones who actually are playing EVE instead of yapping their worthless heads off on the forums 24-7.
The non-vocal majority can use the forums - but they do so sparsely. Chances are they only ever come on to ask a question, look for a fit, or look up something like a spreadsheet or something they need a answer to. The silent ones are as much as a minority as the vocal minority. ____________________

Edited by: Nicholas Barker on 17/05/2008 18:57:39 Although most players are very pleased with all of the FREE expansions, and we're pleased with most of what happens, the majority of the time we will laugh at the slight problems they often cause, this is a massive and very complicated game where people who are paid to play and understand it are still often baffled enough to make mistakes and we just accept that and make jokes, often giving CCP a kind of whimsical reputation amongst long time players.
All in all, epically good game, we can't expect perfection, and if it was perfect, we'd have nothing to look forward too.
HOWEVER! WHOEVER THOUGHT POS WAS A GOOD IDEA, WELL I HOPE THEY GOT FIRED! OH JESUS IT SUCKS SO BAD!
just about my only real gripe. ---

...because you never disagree with someone you love. 
I appreciate your overall sentiment, 'cause there's a low signal to noise ratio in much of the complaining. However, it's a bit meh to lump everyone who criticises anything in the same "you don't care as much as i do because i send them flowers and you're mean" basket.
Not to mention a little irrational. If we didn't care, we'd, you know, not care? As opposed to trying to work things out?

So the message is 'stop give feedback to CCP'? Great idea, lets all just STFU!
Feedback and constructive critisim are important. Why else would CCP setup the CSM for example?
My original sig was 'Enjoy lag free play in a dynamic space MMORPG'. It was removed for lack of EVE content! ;) CCP say 'Shut up about bugs and eat your eye candy!' |

Originally by: Kuseka Adama CVA is not just a vocal minority. CVA has a real beef here wether you want to believe that or not jackass.
The area of providence sees the highest class PVP ships and pvpers We dont get the wussies around here. We get hard core ready to die SOB's fitted with the baddest gear they can find. The fact is FW isnt an improvement. Its a slap in the face to those who have been trying to move this storyline forward. They have invested countless hours enough isk to build a FLEET of titans all in the name of an empire who just said we dont need you. They have defended their space time and time again against the toughest forces around. And this is their reward!?
I can not begin to comprehend how CVA is handling this internally. RP wise i have no idea just how they are going to procede next. If it was me? I would probably be questioning EVERYTHING. Provi is going to undergo some drastic changes if this expansion stays as is. I dont know what the hell is next but speaking as a citizen of providence. Perhaps its time independence was sought instead of loyalty.
Where in the entirety of this thread said anything about CVA? I never really considered them a vocal minority tbh - most alliances aren't IMO. You may have others that have more outspoken members, but I don't think there is any sizable alliances in this entire game that has members that are all completely vocal.
It's not often I ever see many CVA posters if you ask me too. I've only ever seen them in RP forums and here because of the recent expansion.
As for CVA's existing complaints - they cannot be accused of being nonsensical or flawed. This is creating a problem, that sucks, for them. I don't blame them, they have every right to be upset about that. CCP looking at the issue, and/or trying to fix it isn't going to hurt the game - so this is a valid and competent issue to complain about.
It's also been implied most of the vocal minority are idiots and just cry for the sake of crying, even thought heir complaints would really just ruin the game if listened to. We never said there is no such thing as a constructive or valid argument or complaint - its been implied that most tends to be, not all of it - in no way. ____________________
