You are enjoying casting this as me being some super human with amazing abilities looking down at those less skilled than I.
Not really, I'm just mocking your tendency in this thread. Where you take anyone positive about this change and represent them as being for bubble wrapping the world for everyone else's protection. Stop dragging everyone who does not agree with you to some extremist version of a ludicrous world... perhaps I'll stop my friendly mocking. Originally by: Shadarle
Clearly because it is stupid to try to change them all, thus it is stupid to change only one of them imo. Mostly because by "fix" I mean satisfy people who are not careful when they play and annoying those who are. It's never good to punish people who play by the rules and do things right, it causes people to grow unhappy and feel that they are being punished for others mistakes.
This is a misrepresentation. You feel punished as things are being changed, not necessarily in your favor, but not specifically against you either. Not everyone is benefited by every change, cry us a river. Oh wait, you've asked everyone whose ever fallen victim to this to stop crying. Should I say that instead? Essentially, it is an easy fix for the majority. It is not punishment, just not popular with you and a few others. There's always someone who doesn't like change in their little eve world. Me, I'm pretty ambiguous about it. It is neither good nor bad to me, just is. And perhaps good for those who fairly fall victim to it. (Though I understand you see no fairness to anyone who happens to make any mistake.) Like I said, it is. Adapt or ... something.

So the essential truth is that CCP is satisfying the majority of its customers with a small feature while risking irking the ever so lovable you.[/justify]
Won't change human error.
As someone who designed web pages I can tell you one thing, that trying to get the human brain to wrap around design concepts is like herding cats sometimes.
There will always be people making mistakes, and if this were such a grand issue as some would love to make it. It would be all over the Assembly Hall and general issues.
However as it stands, we have a minimal amount of people making a small mistake because they failed to slow down, and let their brain automate the tasks at hand.
You cannot fix that, not without any amount of interface design. And to add more complexities to the system would only further alienate your existence user base who have no trouble at all with the tools at hand.
Can we move along now onto more productive matters at hand? |

I work in UNIX. After one time of doing a rm / home/userID, i learned very fast to know what you are typing and to double check before hitting enter.
Don't you mean rm -rf ~ or rm -f ~/* instead?
In the Olden Days of unix, back when unlink(1) (not to mention unlink(2)) didn't have all sorts of newbie guard rails I remember working on an application which made (and subsequently removed) links in /dev as root. One time a developer made a mistake which left the file name to be unlinked empty... Good times, good times.
Translation for the non-unix geeks: /dev is where unix keeps much of its brains. That's where special files for various processes and commands to get at hard drives and terminals are at. Unlinking /dev/ meant the whole directory was instantly removed from the file system, with no way to get at any child file or directory. So no logging on, no restoring from a tape device, no nothing unless you knew exactly how to recreate those devices by their major and minor numbers and already had a root prompt.
rm -rf. I did not put that in, because i was focusing on the real problem, the fact that i had a space between / and home/userID.

This one time, in Niarja, I accidentally targetted a concord ship instead of a T1 indy full of alloyed trit bars.
Seriously, it was an honest mistake, my finger just slipped on the mouse and targetted the concord ship right next to the big fat indy.
It cost me my typhoon and I didn't get a single trit bar.
^ How is that any different? |

You exercised the option to turn off "aggression" warning pop up before your disastrous mistake.
