^---this.

Metaphors can break down.

Logic can be flawed.

People can make errors.

They all cannot be the fault of the designer. And you can't base an argument on a conditional statement that's presented as if it were a given.

Supposing you should open a can when your location and mobility are sensitive may be logically incorrect.

Supposing you should key up a hotkey when your overview has some random blip selected may also be logically incorrect.

Supposing you should press the jump button when your fleet commander says to warp to a specific gate and hold is definitely logically incorrect, and results in ship loss. The button wasn't wrong. The people were.

No offence, but you sound just like a ccp dev would while trying to justify his awesomeness.

However as you've pointed out - being butthurt about issue is worse than being butthurt about not comprehending control of one's own buttfate. For that reason I no longer want to complain. I'm just going to feign superiority and continue to be petty while you try to use your logics and reason witchcraft. I've not learned a lesson here as you can see.


FYP -^

Also no offense, but you really sound like a butthurt player who got hooked on Eve but paradoxically refuses to accept that actions and inactions, no matter how minor, may have consequences.

The 1% found the edit button.

CCP didn't like a link to FlyFF, which I edited out for content.

Fail buttfates were then sealed.

Thing is, I command my ship to open the can, not to fly to it. I don't want to fly to it. I do not command that.



yes and to open the can you NEED to be within 2500m. if not you flow towards the can/wreck.

if you hit the jamp button on a gate and its 45au away. should you jump from 45 au away? NO! you warp first.
where is my ability to link a sig properly CCP you munters!!

Did not see this coming. Good show!

Also, if we do, we're so booking with Orbitz.

Yea... except that I like to do the things old way.... take the clothes off 1st and such... the 99% seem to prefer the new approach where you can skip the foreplay, the actual act and skip right to the breakfast. That is bit too extreme for me.... I would like to have option to enjoy the whole entertainment.

/me pushes the "Troll this thread" button.
