EVE General Discussion

I too wish EVE-O forums were more like Reddit, so we have cultural and intelligent debates like Reddit. For example:

- Made myself a coffee table, what do you think?
- I just bought more than 1 million …Facebook data entries for 5$. Oh, this is not the end of the story. I ve’got a phone call from Facebook “Policy department.
- Wallpaper in my boyfriends kitchen. When you see it...
- I(f) this gets a good response, ill post a ***** picture. (;

Long live upvote systems!

I disagree. What is more often happening is that people whom are VERY very knowlegeable about many of Eve's finer points & actually like Eve come here to point out its weaker points. Its the nature of almost all internet forums to come over as negitive much in the same way that news broadcasts show more train wrecks which leave a bigger impression then the warm puppy stories due to ratings.

Also the forums have become poloitical soapbox to lobby the DEVs to force thier part of the sanbox onto everyone else:

It would be too easy for the 'Dislikes' to be hi-jacked, en masse, on what could be an otherwise important issue.

That's one of the pitfalls of the democratic process such as this. Folks interpret it to mean that their Ignorance is just as important, and is as equal to, your Knowledge.

It unfortunately requires shuffling through the good and the bad.

Any kind of filtering, especially publicly, is highly suspect, as it should be.

And why is that ? Why is it a good idea ?

I came here expecting a good post by Arguemost

Damn, my eyes aren't what they used to be...

So you're saying everyone has to use likes in order to unlike.
A sure sign that something is balanced and working as intended.

ISD99 - Thread unsubscribed now for lack of content.

I believe that forums should have "sage"-like function, i.e. you post without bumping the thread in which you post.

Its because ccp neglected the player base for years and this is a very addictive game with a high level of "me"-feeling (dunno whats the words exacly). So loads of ppl took 3 yrs of bad bad reputation building, neglection and bad negative image and felt treated like ****. In the end the player base are customers and no one likes to be treated like a unwanted customer. Add the tartget group to it, high educuted intelligent people that have good memories and you create over a long period the most unwanted forum trolls full of hate that cant stop playing. And thats where we are now. No one is a born troll, you get made into one. And thats all their fault.

Any market gurou knows that is much much harder to "fix" a unhappy customer than making a neutral customer happy. Unfortualy for CCP, eve's target group is very small and survavability depends on "fixing" the unhappy customers. Besides that, trolling has been intergrated in ingame social mechanic's like in politics. Look at goons who claim "moral wins war's, not fights". They are right in that so people think trolling is a normal thing to do. Look at Kugu, its designed for trolling. Trolling is in eve a normal thing to do. Why? read above again. CCP made it, now it is at a point it is not fixable anymore. Like the techmoon holder's unlimeted isk stash creating game breaking disbalancements for years to come. Funny they find trolling so normal that it affect the entire eve's public image in any player based promotional appearance.... way to go break you own game even more.... dont think they realy want it anyway... lol (that one in funny :PP)

Told you so CCP years ago. You didnt want to listen so meh,

brb got to plex up my other 4 accounts (dont think im playing for this troll fest broken game, right)

Chribba is right. The reason youtube got so popular was because it allowed people to indivudually sort and find videos. And an enourmous and constructive spread of information ensued. Of course this isnt in the interest of the TPTB hence youtube is constantly devolving and sorting by rating and all these kinds of stuff you could do back then have been removed.
