is the lack of clear concise information regarding current game mechanics.

Seriously if i google something or forum search it

70% of what i find is more than 1 year old
70% is mile long troll/flame/misinformation threads
70% is speculation/rumor/random **** said at fanfest or a blog or a random forum post

100% of it is subject to wild changes at the next patch with a couple drunken bar napkin scrawled patch notes or no note at all

you need to get your stuff together when it comes to providing clear and concise information about what your game actually is and what its going to be.

we are supposed to put our time and effort into making something here but everything is an unknown and the only way to find out is to get murdered/bent trying

im not asking for a hand holding, im asking for an evelopedia/mechanics explanation videos that aren'texpired the minute they are posted.

We are our own worst enemy.

This probably won't make much sense as it's 4am in the morning and im tired, bitter and sick of repeating the same stuff.

Im sure loophole abuse was never part of ccp's game mechanics, but alas, people keep pushing the invisible bounds(of common sense) set by ccp. When stuff goes wrong they blame the "sandbox not being the sandbox that they have defined it being in their mind", when stuff goes in their favor they define it as "emergent gameplay"

Just because ccp didn't define something doesn't mean they need to as long as its common sense....and the gut feeling, but then again...

We are living in the age where companies get sued because people are too dumb to think that freshly made coffee is too hot to drink straight away and that the cup needs a gigantic label saying "WATCH OUT ITS HOT" or they will drink it without second thoughts.

God, i hate this planet.

your reply made sense but im not complaining about the cabal, what they did is pro, and shame on ccp for not figuring it out before them...

im complaining that i have to sift thru 10 years of badposters and drunkdevs to try and piece together how the game works or write a petition asking brain dead questions or get murdered trying to discover simple game mechanics.

We are our own worst enemy.

I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.
