You Claim People who dislike EvE want to change EvE and that is WRONG!


It's absolutely correct, you and Chunks are proof of that. Chunks here wants to change the hell out of EVE, to benefit precisely himself and hurt the game at large. If CCP were to implement his little changes, it would drive off huge numbers of players, and guess what? The kind of people who don't like EVE in the first place STILL would not play EVE.

That is exactly why people like you must not be given credence. Because you want to kill this game, whether you admit it or not.

Man you love your strawman arguments. He did not say that EVE should not change, and he certainly did not say that ship and module balancing should stop.

He said that people who don't like what EVE is should not be allowed to dictate changes to the game. They don't like EVE anyway, so they should quit their bitching and go play something else.

They = you, by the way.


+1

The ironic thing is that the people who don't like EVE and think it could be so much better if only it weren't EVE (lol) are actually the people who can't be happy with ANYTHING. In games and real life they they clamour for change. Change happens and they get unhappy, because that change became the new status quo, and they HATE the status quo!!! Twisted


I call these people "Perpetual Malcontents". The kind of mental children who haven't figured out yet that change for it's own sake is historically guaranteed to be a bad thing.

This should sum much arguementing here, if I wanna play EvE I play EvE, if I feel like playing another kind of space game I go play Elite Dangerous...

And when I wanna play Football Manager or Civilization i play them. But won´t demand that EvE should have character transfer markets between corps, or that our weaponry should just keep on getting deadlier (read "more OP") as technology advances...

And then there is this thing that is very hard to understand for me, why on earth here null/high sec residents and/or PvP/PvE people would be any way against other players playing styles? In a sandbox?

Wouldn´t it be rather more constructive to try each areas of game better, together? You know, with constructive criticism and ideas..

Actually I think that a character transfer market between corps could kind of work....

Anyway, with respect to your final question, yes.

Oh I can answer that easily. It so happens that the majority of the kinds of ideas like the one Chunks was floating earlier come from one particular kind of player.

No, it is not always a good idea to have more players around, because quantity does not matter more than quality. One thousand players who whine, play isolationists and PvE only are less valueable than 50 smart players who do many things.

PvP+PvE players do far more things than PvE players do, which makes them more valueable to the game. They're smarter, they don't isolate gameplay and they create far more content for others than any pure PvE player ever could.

So, again, no, it's not a always a good idea to have more players around, especially if one does not differentiate between the idiots and the smart people.

I bet panic mongering goes both ways, judging from this thread some people feel EvE has not have (radical) changes enough yet.

And well "EvE is dying" is same as all those previous end of the world predictions, that (predicting incoming doom) for some reason seem to appeal to some people.

Maybe because they really are worried about losing the game they so much love. Maybe because they just like to troll and feed other people fears, or get kicks about seeing something falling apart, maybe because they really would like to see game fail in amount that would give them enough of an excuse to stop playing... I bet reasons are many.

But one thing is sure, EvE will not "die" no matter what numbers, until CCP says so, and last employee Hilmar ( Big smile or who ever then?) pulls the plug from CCP´s new office in his apartment.
Subscription based games with very loyal fanbase ("niche" founding from EvE exactly what they were looking for) are good that way.

has anyone looked/compared Star Wars Galaxies?
Even tho we told devs after the first upgrade that they were killing the game they did nothing but make it worse by not listening to the players.

In other words, EVE won't die till the last person willing to pay for it dies. Life expectancy in my country is 78.74 years and I just turned 41 last month. So mathematically speaking EVE Online only has 37.7 more years of life left.

Well after 104 pages of bitching and whining, fozzie sov hits tomorrow. Some have spent the notice period preparing, and are looking forward to a change; others have chosen to cry about it as their coping strategy.

And a safer part of nulsec you couldn't ask for. (all nestled up surrounded by your allies and defenders must give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling)

>Preparing for Fozziesov when you know you have nothing to fear from it - Carry on as usual.

Malcanis, I wonder if you and your alliance would be so casual about the changes if you didn't have half of nulsec set to blue.
Sure most of your allies couldn't hold sov without all the allies to do it for them - Where does "everything that matters is blue or paid off" leave your little band?



I often wonder when the few decent alliances in the CFC will wake up and leave the bads to it, then and only then will we have a nulsec worth fighting for.

The Imperium reminds me of the group on a beach who spread their towels out in a huge area so no-one else can get near the best spot to sit. They are just selfish, entitled nobodies who "think" they are better than everyone else - In reality, they only control "their" part of the beach by intimidation and threat. As individuals they are of little to no consequence and need the group to maintain control.

Would seem by definition, The leader of the Imperium, has his subjects just where he needs them to be - Subjugated.
Quote:
In ancient Rome, different kinds of power or authority were distinguished by different terms. Imperium referred to the sovereignty of the state over the individual.[1]
