Absolutely.

Have some 30 second Hellraiser bunnies for your effort.
You know that you done bad when Pinhead facepalms, going have to find a use for that one, soon™.

Maybe a caption on the theme of “My job is to cater to people who flay themselves for enjoyment and entertainment, and I'm frankly shocked by how stupid your idea is”?


Nice, but a little out of character for him.
Maybe just modify actual Pinhead quotes, something like:
"Post here again and your apparent idiocy will be legendary, even in hell GD."
or
"There is a secret song at the center of the earth, Joey, and it sounds like fail and entitlement"

Oh you know CCP though, give with one hand , slap with the other.

It's not just CCP. Training people to expect the slap and enjoy it is an art - I think they're doing a great job with the playerbase tbh.

But anyway, it doesn't have to be eternity. A year or so of the deliciously silky words then parole. They won't be bitter anymore, might even be a bit cheerful - possibly even grateful (for a change). Insane obviously, but they were to start with. I can't think of a single vet (apart from Chribba maybe) who doesn't deserve a stint in the Bitter Hub.

I'm inclined to agree, barring the odd momentary lapses in anything even remotely resembling common sense (I'm looking at you tooltips).
though I'm convinced they do some of that to engineer our pissing and moaning and let us feel more engaged [/tinfoil hat]

The tooltips debacle had some real roots. CCP should be able to filter out the noise to get to issues like that and resolve them. Same with the launcher, icons, ingame map, SKINs. These are real technical issues affecting a broad spectrum of the playerbase, and frankly I'm a bit disappointed with the CSM for not making a visible effort to demonstrate they are aware of player problems and working with CCP to address them. Apologies to them if they have been doing something, but I haven't seen it. The big stuff like jump fatigue and sovchanges look like the things to monitor, but actually the day-to-day small stuff is more niggly and will probably cause massive long-term resentment if left to fester. It makes me wonder if the departments who deal with these have the appropriate relationship with the CSM or the playerbase to evaluate player feedback, because something is off.

But anyway I thought of another variation on rewarding vets. Other than the medal, letter from CCP and all the other mildly boring suggestions. Balls to that, ask for the outrageous then you might get the mediocre, but don't start off by politely requesting something crap. It's called 'haggling' not being an 'entitled' prat, and it's fun for anyone in the spirit.

How about 'Escape from the Bitter Hub'. People can sign up to do it, then they get locked into a station. Have new players on the NPE spawn in there to 'test' PVP during their trial.* Chuck in a few Devs/ISDs then hellcamp the station. Only the elite can escape. Or talk their way out. Best strip everyone's wallets first and randomise their names on spawning for added confusion, use SiSi style cheapo markets. That sounds like a 'dungeon' to me, and a chance to see who really is 'elite'. I bet some people would stay just for a laugh.

*ed - switch the SP between the vets and newbros too.

OP, there is already a "terrible ideas for EVE" thread in the F&I Discussion forum, there was no need to make a new one.

At 100mil SP you can travel to the Altar of Bob in Thera, and donate 1bil ISK to it, in order to un-train everything and have a pool of 100mil unspent SP to reallocate as you please.

How about you pay 1b and get a pool of 10mil reallocation points cuz you know you wasted 90 mil on missiles.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

Nice idea, let's take this a step further:

At 100M SP, you have become a famous EVE-celebrity and all of New Eden is aware of your presence.
- Locator agents will track you down for free
- You will be blinking gold on d-scan
- at 150 M SP, you will show up in local even in wormholes
- at 200M SP, your mere presence in any system will create a warpable signature viewable by every other pilot.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

A great plan. Give everybody one tritanium per played year.

Not a lot of 100-200M characters around that haven't been through a least a couple of owners. So what you are actually suggesting is rewarding people for buying the most PLEX from CCP. A two hundred million skill point character is a lot of PLEX to purchase.

So, I'm going to say no to that whole idea.

I have 3 that are all mine

and I never say no to free shinys, or is it shinies?

I would prefer if the devs concentrated on attracting new players rather than spending time rewarding veteran players. That way the game will still be around in the future for veteran players to enjoy.


Precisely.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
