Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Xolve ok but even absolutely new player (say 1 month old) can have valuable ideas for example New Players Experience dont you think?

Other than that one year may not be enought. Even with how complex and hard EvE is, there are a lot of stupid people playing it, who never learns.

Last, some ideas that seems stupid to you may seem great to other people. Just let them share it, no one forces you to read them or react to them.

This. New players being able to post will encourage them to become an active member of the community.

As for placing a limit on forum posting, I'd rather have CCP set up some sort of regulation pertaining to troll posting. Over the years this activity has become accepted as normal behavior when all it does is push good helpful players away while at the same time encouraging more troll posting mentality.

I propose that after 10 legitimate 'Reports' are placed against a player, that player gets a temporary forum ban of 1 week. Another 10 legitimate 'Reports' and that player gets a 2 week ban. Another 10 legitimate 'Reports' and that player gets a 1 month forum ban. Another 10 legitimate 'Reports' and the player gets 2 months forum ban. Another 10 legitimate 'Reports' and the player gets 4 months ban, etc.

This would definitely discourage blatant troll posting as well as help clean up the forums. It would turn the forums into a productive venue for sharing information again.

Reported...

Simple. A 'Legitimate' report is verified by CCP per forum rules and then edited by forum moderator.

This would require ccp mods to do their job

As it stands, thats asking a lot.

Case in point: they still let me post here

Get out?

No can do.

Your idea of only letting 1 char with the highest sp's per account be allowed to post sounds feasible..

Where are they going to find enough moderators to go through the thousands of reports they'll get every day, the petitions about the reports, and all the other time consuming rubbish this would generate?

Where do the forum rules say I can't tell you your ideas are terrible?

first, I like most of these suggestions. and would be happy with any of them.



defining legitamate would be up to ccp, and be kept track by them. this could not be abused because of this.

I'd argue that it's not so much a new player being the problem as it is people of less than average intelligence, sub par patience and entitlement mentalities.

They confront a situation they do not understand by asking how can I change the circumstance to fit my preference. Instead they should ask how I can change myself and compete with the mechanics provided.

This is more of a cultural problem coupled with human nature.

It has the potential to ruin a game. Pirates of the Burning Sea. Star Wars Galaxies another. Warcraft is well on it's way towards it.

However, in EVE, we have a critical mass of intelligent players of the personality type that adapts to the circumstance not asking for the circumstance to adapt to them.

As long as CCP heeds the words of the wise the game will always have a following. Should it take the road to the lowest common denominators, the game will die. The reason being is that the most intelligent players are the ones who make the game, any game, exciting. They provide the greatest challenge. They lead the most successful groups. Etc.

When they leave, the community quickly follows suit.

Universities don't bring in the ignorant for speaking engagements. They bring in the most brilliant. One is far more interesting and charismatic and actually knows what the hell they are talking about. This applies to MMOs as well.

^ This, pretty much.
