Ignore Goon Jr. He will try to derail your thread, given the chance.

Tell me, kind sir, what I don't get about the game. What do you perceive about my understanding of the game that you think doesn't reflect the game's purpose and design?

I see. Because EVE isn't a social game with spaceships and explosions and exploration and working towards big awesome ships and being a cool sci-fi space captain who takes huge risks and engages in interstellar commerce and sometimes even corporate espionage?

Because that's my perception of the game. Why is that wrong?.

I'm defending my desires from people who think that no one can have an opinion on a game unless they have played it for a long time.

Becasue EVE is more than that. EVE is supposed to be the ULTIMATE sci fi simulator. It's not there yet.

It is amusing seeing you repeat the same lines over and over.

This is true. It's pretty pathetic. I mean, I don't have a problem with others not liking roleplayers, but to have an attitude that your way is the only way the game is meant to be played? On a damned sandbox game?

Having a human shaped avatar isn't more sci-fi.

And if you aren't saying how EVE should be played, if we had a hypothetical model of development where FiS progresses precisely as it would without any WiS content, but the WiS content is still added, would you be opposed to that?

And how do you justify the assertion that only a tiny percentage of people want WiS content?

That type of misrepresentation does **** all for your credibility.

You think that it's a measure of how many people want a feature to look at how many people quit if that feature is put on the backburner?

FiS is more important than WiS in terms of EVE. Nothing should happen to WiS that will compromise FiS. But, there is scope to develop WiS.

Harlot wants EVE to be "PIXAR's "Spaceships".

The Cars universe thousands of years in the future.

There are unreasonable people across all aspects of the game. Hence, I said "a number of those that desire WiS have said it as well"

So, WiS begins work, lots of people leave.

WiS stops work, not many people leave.

And that means that everyone hates WiS, not that everyone hates FiS being ignored?

See, in the Cars universe, planes, trains, and automobiles pilot themselves. You don't see drivers, they aren't really needed.

You seem to want EVE to stay as a game where ships are basically autonomous, where the lore and a little portrait in the corner suggest that a person is there, but the person doesn't matter at all. In fact, you could remove the portrait and just be playing a game in a universe that has Autonomous ships and nothing else. Like the Cars universe thousands of years in the future.

I'm so ready to just block your posts.

Tell me more about how the existence of avatars damage EVE's gameplay.

Do you want EVE to be a long-term success? Would you like it if the game continued to be available to play for years in the future?

I offered you a hypothetical situation where WiS content could be developed without effecting the development of FiS content.

It seems I was not clear, or you were deliberately attempting to dodge my question.

Do you want EVE to CONTINUE to be a long-term success? Do you want the game to be available for you to play in the future?

I understand that you feel I have an innacurate understanding of the game. I'm new to the game, so you are probably right. Could you tell me what is incorrect about this?

But the EVE forums are giving me something other than just trolls. I am getting people who are openly hostile to change, incredibly rude, and who cannot respond to a calm, civil post with civil answers.

There'll be alot of hate in this thread from people who are all (keep the spaceship sim in space!) but honestly, the change has only been positive.

Despite an overall trend of player growth? Thousands of antisocial players wanting an impersonal simulation game left, in favor of a much more marketable, personable game? Sounds like they got rid of people who didn't need to be there: Mostly players who would only discourage a new audience from joining the game in the first place.

Right. Crucible finally released the new Captain's Quarters. Reason enough to come back.

Is that a troll or do you really think people came back for that? It's not even close to WiS.
