EVE General Discussion

CCP, please! There is a question, not only for me, because people are just guessing. So tell us at least something about the WIS, you can follow any responses to at least some encouraging information realties? The fact that no information is already heavily fed up.

WiS is dead, gone, and good riddance. The same people that would enjoy WiS are the annoying types that turned "Likes and get Likes" and all the Avatar threads into a GD eyesore for over a year. Screw wasting resources on that lot.

Of course, I'd be happier about it, but the CCP Devs who thought Space Barbies was a "brilliant" idea are the same ones who are currently pushing their highsec carebear wet dream version of EVE on the rest of us.

If I had to choose between Crimewatch 2.0 and idiotic barge buffs or space barbies and NEX, I'd say let the girls have their dolls.

Also, is it just me or do Brits WAY overuse the term 'brilliant'?

Good riddance, we can have neo vampires in space, a division of blood raiders.

I appreciate very much you saying this. ^^

Personally, I'd like to see CQ removed too. It was so much better when we had the old system, not so many resources to load every time you docked. I normally stick to the hangar anyway, it has all the links I want with none of the bells and whistles. Most of us just want to get in, switch ships or dump/pickup the cargo and get out again.

Please v3 the hangers for the time being, wis can be put on hold a little while longer, as far as we know there is no gameplay anyways.

So, yesterday I couldn't think of a good way to refute this. I looked at it and instinctively felt like there was something wrong with it. As a strong supporter and (usually) non-whiner, it felt wrong to just come out and say, maybe they are wrong. Because your right, lets face it, they are the experts. I am not a game designer, I know little to nothing about how games are developed, why do I have any right to tell them how to do it?

At work today, we had our quarterly meeting and someone was asking the director how he makes the decisions of how much funding each department gets for expansion. He said, "our customers decide how we invest our money within the company, if they want better data security more funding goes to the data protection guys. I just move the funding about to make it fit what I think our customers want".

If CCP decided that



By "impacting what we can deliver" to FiS content, he means that he doesn't think the player base would want any WiS content over what could be achieved for FiS with those resources. He makes that decision based on what he thinks the player base wants. So, it really does come down to what the player base wants. And lets face it, no company can perfectly predict what their customers want. If CCP could do that, they would literally be the most influential and powerful games company on the planet. The only way this argument will ever really be finished, is in the event of an extensive poll, detailing how much they think it would affect FiS content and what we would be getting from WiS for that impact.

You can't say we shouldn't ask for it, because his decisions and the popularity of the game are ultimately decided by what we as players, and potential players want or ask for. To tell the players not to ask for what they want, it to say that CCP should fail, because believe it or not, these forums are a source of market research.



Because it's you who decides the future of CPP and Eve.

True, but such a poll is impossible in EVE. Too many dummy accounts paid for with PLEX that would get a vote.

In other words, a single guy with 10 dummy accounts doing FiS would "outvote" 9 real people with their 1 account per person. In other words, such a vote would literally be "pay 2 vote", you'd be able to buy as many votes as you like. And final result would be completely inaccurate.

And before you say it, email address or IP address wouldn't be enough. Email addresses are too easy to create. And IP addresses are very often dynamic, my old internet provider had that, and I had a slightly different IP every other day, which I shared with a large pool of other people.

Big question: If the same heads always unsub / interact with accounts that unsub | Will those accounts then look like a risky investment to count on?


What I mean is, if to block announced content the same people click cancel then erupt in a forum war, wouldn't the sensible business model adapt to those accounts being classed as redundant and excluded from projections? that way the trend of "threatened unsubs" becomes the written-off portion of the playerbase.

Even if it rotates.

He's doing a great job.

I don't have the energy for these threads like i used to.

Now i just duck in now and then to be snarky. WHAT HAVE I BECOME
