You cant pvp until you can fly XXX or have a gazillion sp.

If you don't pop asteroids while mining, they come back larger and larger after downtime.

you can't solo without OGB

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

That the developers take player feedback seriously.

The 'new' ivnentory system for example.

If you do anything which can be seen in any way shape or form as a nerf of hisec, everyone will quit and eve will die

Buffs and nerfs are clearly decided by who poasts more on the forums. The more the same replicated thread the better!

Clueless?

Maybe the facts will sink into some of the forum's more vocal hardheaded so-called 'Know it all' posters suffering from a 'small guy / god' complex who constantly make snide remarks with the intention of insulting others while attempting to look intellectually superior.

Oh wait, did I just jump on that bandwagon?

Damn it.

Anyway, read it and weep : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

In case you can't be arsed to check facts before posting, which seems to be the case due to your reply and past history, here it is in condensed form :

Quote:
A random number generator (RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random.

There are two principal methods used to generate random numbers. One measures some physical phenomenon — atomic or subatomic — that is expected to be random and then compensates for possible biases in the measurement process. The other uses computational algorithms that can produce long sequences of apparently random results, which are in fact completely determined by a shorter initial value, known as a seed or key. The latter type are often called pseudorandom number generators. Pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are algorithms that can automatically create long runs of numbers with good random properties but eventually the sequence repeats (or the memory usage grows without bound).

Several computational methods for random number generation exist and may meet, with varying success, some of the statistical tests for randomness, but fall short of the goal of true randomness. A "random number generator" based solely on deterministic computation cannot be regarded as a "true" random number generator, since its output is inherently predictable.

Oh yeah. I forgot to include, in my honest opinion, the biggest Eve Myth of all :

Tippia is the most polite, considerate, helpful and intellectual person ever to participate in the Eve forums.

Tippia is still correct, as he and you didn't state it had to be a true random number generator. Just saying. Blink

Did you really just quote wikipedia to define a random number generator, then in the same breath claim that the very same random number generator that you just defined doesn't exist? Did that really just happen?

He was saying that Eve's RNG is not a "true RNG", ergo Tippia is wrong for somewhat implying that the Eve RNG is a true RNG. Tippia was just addressing that it is, in fact, an industry standard RNG, and not a biased RNG as some people accuse CCP of using.

DeMichael is desperate to prove Tippia wrong.
