I am sick of using DOTLAN
I am sick of using EVEMon
I am sick of using EFT
I am sick of using EVE-Central

I am sick of not having a map with any functionality whatsoever
I am sick of having no planner for skills besides the terrible awful ISIS
I am sick of the fitting tool not showing vital information
I am sick of the inability to view any market data whatsoever outside of my region

I am sick of 3rd party developers being used as an excuse to not fix these basic features
I am sick of players having to take on the responsiblility of fixing these glaring holes
I am sick of the notion of playing this game another 5 years with an army of 3rd party programs needed to keep sane
I am sick of typing things in fours and have absolutely nothing to add for the last point here

I am sick of it CCP, and I want it changed.

Im sick of whiny threads, but I doubt anything is going to be done about that either

Why do we need developer time spent on making already available tools in game? I say harden up and get over it.

I agree. I hate it when companies publish an open API and indy developers can fill useful niches that the company does not have the time or even think of filling. Companies should get rid of those. Also add a little DRM. Maybe put it on Origin.

Its was a fantastic move by CCP in regards to releasing the API, one which I am surprised no other developers have done.

Why bother developing x,y and z when we can get our paying players to do it for us.

Also the chances are CCP wouldn't be able to even half the job that guys like who created and develop Dotlan, Evemon, EveHQ, etc have done.

So yeah, be thankful we have some amazing players who develop these things for our use because if it was left to CCP they would be half finished and next to useless.

I´ve never missed anything you mentioned.

It´s all the same with game knowledge thats not actually in game - you have to go to library.
And if it´s a missing feature... is that feature naccessary (as stated in the first sentence)?

Wow, you're such a coward!

And nobody forces you to use any of these.

They aren't needed at all!


If you want an edge over those who don't use them,
then put some bloody effort into it!


Coward! Post with your main!

I noticed that too.

I wonder what's up with it

Probably sick of people "having" to use Eve-Search

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.


Can I have your stuff in advance? just give me your API so I can put it into Evemon and see what assets you own. I'll then proceed to use evecentral to know the value of those items, and I'll be sure to use dotlan to plan the best route for me to collect your items.

im quite happy with the 3rp party tool set this game has, you have multiple tools to achieve the same goal, they all get there in different ways and are aimed to different players.

I have an observation to share about this.


When I had a slow internet connection with lots of lag,
I noticed that after sending a post,
when you get redirected back to the page,
the post is missing.

It updates shortly later.


This only ever happened when I suffered from a bad connection,
but never at any other time. After trippling over it, I've tested it a bit.
