EVE General Discussion

DEV team, the conceptual at least should change. In best case, all DEVs directly related to EVE concept life and creation who do not generate anything new and break through with new cutting edge ideas but are in the team for a long time are just free riders on the results of their old exploits which will eventually lead CCP to its end due to creative stagnation, which is promoted by a lot of biases inherent to a group with strong long-term ties to one another.

No matter how harsh it sounds but all ineffective devs be it conceptually or creatively should go no matter how harsh it sounds, new heads are needed because new needs exist.

Hire new DEVS in areas which require creativity and new ideas. Old artists will keep their old game, afraid of something new, slowly losing their base until it comes to an end. While an accountant can work for a company for ever, a lead designer, for example, should be changed unless he or she brings new breaking ideas to the concept or alters concept by bringing it to the next stage altogether.

What do you think?

I know CCP feels much connection with some DEVs but if DEVs bring nothing new, they should go no matter how well they are integrated within employees because it will be group think bias along all other imaginable biases which leads projects into pitfall. Same for CEO's if they are unable to generate anything new.

The concept of EVE haven't changed much since the very beginning, but the player base changed and people get tired of same.

It is important to remain unique, yet very experimental.

Did you ever start a business? Was it successful? Are you wealthy? If so, why are you playing EVE instead of working your ass off of business you started?

I haven't seen any succesful businessman who has enough time to play games, unless it is a basement entrepreuneur that awaits bright future of his awesome idea. If a businessman has free time then they are using it wrong. Unless you own a gaming company and you play the game...

Now please get back on topic, this divergance is fiercly fruitless...

Don't stop please!

And I've never seen a Wolf-Rayet star, but they still exist whether I've seen em or not. You are a population sample of one, your personal experience and limited perspective is no measure of reality. But if we're going on what we have and haven't seen, then I've never seen a successful business owner who has all the critical faculties of a mashed potato, which is why you should never start a business.

Again you are going of topic and again the absence of observation doesn't imply that there are or there are no observable units.
You haven't answered my question yet about your business experience! Also you are deviating more which is fine but first answer to my question, if you are so convinced you are in position to state what you did in first post.

You didn't ask me about my business experience. You made a bunch of asked-and-answered assumptions about business owners in general, which is what tells anyone with a modicum of common sense that you would be a terrible business owner/operator.

The MOST successful business owners, the best ones, are the ones that have a lot of free time, and can do things like buy boats and go golfing, etc etc. They don't have to spend all their time micromanaging their business because they can afford to hire people to do that. Your assumption that a successful business owner couldn't or wouldn't be playing video games is so off balance it wouldn't surprise me if you spat that nonsense out as a retaliatory measure to the fact that your idea is ****, and I said as much, and that hurt your paw wittle fee fees.

Well, mate, I don't really give a **** about your fee fees, and addressed your 'topic' in my very first post here. We don't make any hiring or firing decisions for CCP, and any discussion of it would be completely redundant and a general waste of time. The fact that you don't seem to get that or anything else regarding business owners is what tells me and anyone else with half a modicum of common sense that you would make a terrible one.

My god, you have absolutely not a single clue how a game development studio, a business or even the real world works. At all.

"Did you ever start a business? Was it successful? Are you wealthy? If so, why are you playing EVE instead of working your ass off of business you started?" So this questions are not directed at you? hmm, kay...

Are you blind or got untreated ADHD?

Well writing that much seems like I am getting your tippy toes. Also, people as you say that have free time FYI play golf or travel ror other thousand things they do is part of business/pleasure mix because deals are made in toilets and sauna rooms not in a god damn video game. You seem to have superficial knowledge about it and therefore again deviating because we spoke about game as specified by you - "Eve online" which is not played by sucessful businesman because they do not have time for something that makes their free time a gaming pleasure and no benefit whatsoever.

So please answer my questions and then we will talk and do not divert from the topic hiding behind your prodigy knowledge of time management.
