EVE General Discussion

Why not just GM a mission for your corpies or for other corpies?

If other sections of the community dont need CCP support to create content, why do you?

Holding CCP accountable for lack of development on the current situation with mission stagnation is NOT a bad thing.

A fresh alternative to PvP is not bad; and 'may' help players needing a break from such things.

Well you just happen to look at it differently than I do guess

I dont see missions as entertainment, just a grind to make isk

Therefore, they dont need to be fancy, just functional

Hell, they need cut down a bit tbh imho

You make a lot of assumptions about others intent, sis

How exactly did I push your accusations to the side with my sentence?

By saying that pointing out a logical fallacy as a 'buzzword' (has negative connotations), you attempt to de-legitimize any attempt to point them out as 'weak counter-arguments'.

You are correct though. Perhaps I am a bit of a far assumption...

Those are your assumptions, not my intentions

And Im simply saying the phrase "strawman" is used far far too often these days, and in a lot of cases (not specifically yours, I didnt read what you were refuting so I have no idea if it was legitimate or not) incorrectly.

ANYWAY

Now that bit of semantics and hurt feelies has been dealt with;

Why cant you create your own PvE engagements?

I do often -- pulling together groups to run missions and to do things. It helps make it *tolerable*.

Maybe more types of missions, requiring groups or a different way of completion rather than shoot X, or take Y from A to B?

Yes, but with new ones -- the current ones are neat, but there has been little to no development in either.
Kind of stagnating in a way.

You don't really have a position beyond, "Make PvE moar betterer!" Most of your posts consist of a lot of highly malleable, amorphous notions that can be conveniently hammered into whatever shape is needed at the moment, which you then present as not just fact, but self-evident, frequently in direct contradiction to actual known facts.

That being the case, crying "strawman" is a bit preposterous - your positions are so poorly defined to begin with that accusing anyone else of creatively reinterpreting them is silly and hypocritical.

For instance, you just said:



I... what? That's MEANINGLESS. And what the hell does hardware have to do with anything?

You may as well just say, "Well, what they really need to do is empower their interactive competency process while maximizing their environmental paradigm and preserving their support strategy for customer satisfaction parameters."

Throw in something about opening a kimono if you feel like that was insufficiently nonsensical.

Here's the thing about new PvE content:

1. It's not free to create. Like anything else, developmental resources need to be dedicated to it.
2. It has a shelf life that guarantees it will eventually turn stale.

Thus, the ROI on PvE content is quite low. Nobody runs missions because they're fun - they're in it for the loot. Nobody runs incursions because they're fun - they're in it for the loot. Nobody farms wormholes because it's fun, they're in it for the loot.

Promoting PvE as a "fix" is promoting the expenditure of limited resources on something that has declining value over time.

Bigger ants eat the smaller ones, yup, everything's ok. A lot of smaller ones can eat bigger one, yup, can do. Be a helpless big bettle that is easy to spot and drag onto the dining table, for sure it's possible.
