EVE General Discussion

I am late to this party, so I'm now infuriated and demand attention and some form of violent retribution!

*equips pitchfork*

[Man I thought you exposed yourself in the other thread already, but this tops it.

Woke up and the first thing I see is this thread..it was THIS close to pitchforks :)

Seriously now, I understand that unifying all logins via launcher is your long term goal, but with people with an unstable connection, such as me, for whom it's imperative to get back in game ASAP after a DC, the exefile still provides the most stable solution. It also helps when managing multiple clients with different client settings for different accounts.

I also nearly stopped using launcher after two-factor authentication implementation - I had to input my character names every day because of dynamic IP (and "remember this computer" thingie remembers nothing). So I switched to custom powershell script, and probably wont go back until CCP sort out two important things with the launcher:

* get rid of external web-based interface bloated with useless marketing stuff (use damn in-game notifications for that stuff)
* add "save password" and "remember this network" options (with settings page in account management)

TL;DR: CCP make your launcher SIMPLE (e.g. Guild Wars 2 launcher)

The new launcher seems to be working well, kind of like the current one until they broke it.

Good thought, possible yet here is the real answer....

AUR NES STORE.


Can you access the NES store to spend money on skins and shirts and skirts from evefile.exe??? NO!

For some reason ccp made it so to be able to access the NES store you need to use the launcher, hense why they have been slowly trying to get us to use the broken launcher.


Its really simple. If we dont use launcher, we cant access NES store to spend AUR and buy skirts and skins

Quote for the real true!

I will keep my pitchfork and battle againt the "greed is good" mentality.

And I have alts.. and friends... and so on.

Well mate, let´s me rephrase it: the “greed is good” is, in fact, BAD!

IF (emphasis on the IF) they fix the launcher, with is a good thing, and I can assure you that everyone will be happy. *fireworks*

However, no, do not get eluded, they will only forbidden the use of the .exe because of NEX Store, with in fact are the “greed is good” mentality.

And that is it.. We will have to deal with that (no work around and broken launcher) because we like the game.. but in the end, things will only get worst and worst..

I really wish I am wrong, but I am playing eve for 3865 days (I am not lying), and that long experience point me to this harsh reality.

PS: That why I will keep my pitchfork.

The responses in this thread confirm that the launcher is a useless piece of ****.

Mate, I agree with you. We all want CCP to make the game better. The game (EVE), and consequently the Company (CCP), survive until now not because of NEX Store, but because of us, the players.

However, some time ago the “greed is good” mentality arise. As I say before, I consider that mentality bad, pernicious to the game itself. Do you know why? Because the “greed is good” mentality do not care about the players or the game, it only care about the money, and that is bad.

What almost happens here (the remove of exe boot) was a sign of that mentality. The “greed is good” do not care about fixing the launcher. That is the problem!

Let me tell you, I am not against the Nex Store itself, since they keep the promises of only sell the cosmetics stuffs. I am not against the 2FA either. I think all are good stuffs. The game is excellent stuff. I like almost every Dev (signature hint), they want to make the game even better. The Devs have my vote of trust.

The peoples I do not like are the ones with the “greed is good” mentality. I can assure you that was one of them who almost force the cut of exe workaround. Unfortunately, looks like that these folks with that mentality are in important position inside the company. This is a concerning point.

In the end, we (the players) cannot let the game suffer from that mentality. We have to make a monocle gate scandal when we see things like that. If we say nothing the game will slowing die. I want the game to be better and better.

Nevertheless, as you can see, regrettably, I suffer from bittervetness and for me, look like that the “greed is good” people are winning. I will stick to the game until the day the server get shut down, but in the present days I have very low faith in the CCP directors. The Company, and consequently EVE do not die yet because we love the game. But looks like that the directors are prioritizing money above all. They are neglecting the most important thing: US, the player base.

What almost happens is the tip of the iceberg, and we cannot let that iceberg crash on us!

To finish, I will keep my pitchfork against any move that I judge pernicious to the player base or the game itself. I will battle until the end.
