Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Been playing Eve since 2006, just fyi.

Everything else you said has been addressed in many, many other posts. You can do the legwork yourself and you know, actually read the posts and see for yourself that it could add more than just fluff to the game.

Also, I have to laugh at all these armchair managers who think they know how to run a game dev company better than the actual game developers. They have a seperate team of designers for WIS, designers who were specifically hired for that purpose. They already have a team for the space portion of the game. Throwing more team members and money at the space side of the game isn't going to get things done more efficiently.

They've heard the justified complaints about microtransactions, and they listened. Now they're doing things the way it should have been done from the get-go. What more do you want? (and no, abandoning WIS is not an option, as that would also be a GIGANTIC waste of already spent money and dev-time).

For a player that started 2006, you haven't been keeping up with the news much so let me bring you up to date: Team Avatar doesn't exist anymore.

I would like to address the outright false claim in your post; no one was "specifically hired" by CCP for WiS. Team Avatar was a team of CCP devs (like CCP Bayesian), tasked to work on WiS and while they got as far as to develop a prototype, it got shelved and WiS has for all intents and purposes been abandoned since.

You really must been have a massive hardon for WiS if you invent fantasies like how CCP hired people specifically for WiS. You could also just be deluded (with a massive hardon for WiS) which seems more plausible considering your posts.

Once again Goons managed to save the playerbase from itself when we helped CCP refocus on core Eve gameplay.

Word for word, identical post to one of jujumagumboos. And just as irrelevant..

They have already abandoned it. They certainly aren't going to go back to it while DUST is on its deathbed and WoD is vaporware.

I wasn't there when Jita burned and the monument was demolished in those riots just before the unsubscribes, but I remember getting the sense that the reason behind the massive walk-offs had to do with pay to win and CCP's crazy idea for micro-transactions... WiS was not what did it. Pay to win and outlandish micro-transactions was what caused the rebellion.

You would have gotten more use out of that money by burning it. F2P can be an extremely profitable model but not for a crap game on a second-rate console.
