EVE General Discussion

Last time I checked...CCP also tried to get us to walk around in stations.

Or make a great PS3 game that is linked to EVE in so many ways.


/sarcasm.

Glad you figured that out.

The simple misconception in your argument is that Eve is like a Boutique or anything filling a "niche" market. Eve is an MMO, the first word being "Massive", the goal is to get a LOT of people doing it, which spreads the cost and increases the fun.

Now if you could tell me what makes your word measurably superior to mine, then I can actually take you seriously

If you think a "boutique" (whatever the **** that is) is the only niche operation there is, then you need to actually think.

In regards to MMO, so.. what, EvE is currently a "SMO" by your measurement because its not mass market?

And I also would point out its an MMORPG, not a space sim.

And so thats why non consensual PVP should be removed, right? To make the game have a mass appeal?

Considering the public view is that EvE is "Spreadsheets in space", I think thats probably what they should work on if they want to dilute the the game into a non-enjoyable click-fest

Funny, because everything any CCP employee has said in these forums has pretty much been the opposite of your and the other warship-averse posters.

I can find you some of Falcon's posts if you wish, but Im pretty sure you know exactly what they say as well as I do.

No, I don;t assume anything. I pointer out that there is no way to tell the difference between the two. If your corp recruits brand new players, it also recruits awoxers. It's that simple.

Congratulations, your corp got lucky.

It might say that they are a non-combat focussed corp. If you have to have combat pilots flying around protecting your ships from your own corp members your corp is terrible.

At no point did I say that only newbies are awoxers, but a 6 month old character can generally be weeded out using API and cross referencing. A newbie is indistinguishable in every way from an awoxer. I understand you don't get it, but it's a simple fact. You can come up with whatever you want but if you don't even do basic screening for your members you're a terrible corp, and your members will be the ones who suffer.

Nothing makes it superior (even immeasurably), but in this case it is more factual.
A "boutique" is an establishment designed to serve smaller audiences at higher costs. Basically, people paying for exclusivity. They can be in any field, spas, hi-end watches, jewelry stores, and suit stores are all boutiques. Boutiques are generally filling a niche market. For example, jewelry is a niche market, because it isn't something people buy often, there are plenty of customers, but you don't buy jewelry on a regular schedule like you would mass-market items like food and gas.

Your final two lines should have clued you in, Eve is an MMO, not an SMO, and adding RPG is only good for the role-playing characters. I play Eve the MMO, not RPG end of it that role-players like CODE work with.

Time to go home now, back later.

A) More factual, you say but lacking any citation so of as much worth to me as yours to mine.

B) Yup, independant stores, record labels, comic book companies, online companies, whole food suppliers, toy makers etc etc etc with artistic integrity just dont exist apparently. I guess the two I worked for were just dreams.

C) So if its an MMO already, why does it need to increase in size to justify the title of MMORPG to you? Like it or not you ARE roleplaying. Your corp doesnt exist. Its a role you play to be CEO.

Sorry to break it to you.

Actually, he's a dev, not a DEV (Dellusional Eve Victim?), and when he speaks in his CCP Falcon persona he speaks for the company.

Ah, the day subscription fees mattering more than quality content is finally upon us.

fair play to ccp, took them longer to succumb to allure than most other companies.
still, a sad day.
