EVE General Discussion

There MIGHT be decent content here, but I'm too old to go sifting through mountains of narcissistic sociopathy to find a few decent folks. I don't have to do that in-game; I shouldn't have to do it here.

If forum and game accounts are connected, then it is what it is. I'll clarify that with customer service and, if that's the case, I'll shut down the whole Goddamned thing and just move on.

Nah, **** this noise raw and bloody. There MIGHT be decent content here, but I'm too old to go sifting through mountains of narcissistic sociopathy to find a few decent folks. I don't have to do that in-game; I shouldn't have to do it here.

You don't have to. The solution to your problem-that-is-not-a-problem is quite simple; if you don't like the forums and feel they are somehow ruining the game for you...just don't go on the forums. That's it. No EvE player is forced to go on the EvE forums. It is entirely your choice and not necessary to play the game. YOUR choice, no disabling of anything by ccp needed.

They are connected in that having an account made to play the game EvE allows one to post on the forums. One doesn't even need an EvE account to read the EvE forums, so ccp disabling your "forum account" wouldn't protect you from your own choices completely. Also, ccp customer service prioritizes support tickets according to how urgent they deem them to be. Considering that and the probable backlog of support tickets caused by the recent fanfest, and your ticket asking for clarification of forum / game connectivity might take a while for a response.



You know, like so many other people have. But I'm sure that's my fault. :-)

Ah, then goodbye, sir.



Thanks again.

geeze now I'm bummed out I didn't get a chance to read it

The Council of Stellar Management is quite the interesting concept. (At least to me - I had a thing for politics back in the day.) But after looking it over, I decided not to participate for a few reasons:

* Lack of serious candidates: In my opinion, too few people took the idea seriously. There were more joke candidacies than most American presidential elections. If the candidates (in general and overall, not as a totality) can't take themselves or the process seriously, it's very difficult for me to do so.

* Weighted concept: As a concept, the CSM is weighted far too heavily in favor of large groups. There doesn't appear to be any kind of viable mechanism for small groups to have their voices given equal weight. I realize no form of government is perfect, but I feel more work can be done to give smaller, less visible groups a more equal place at the table. I also feel NPC corporations are badly underrepresented, to the point of even possible derision.

It's a great concept, but ultimately seems to be rubber-stamping. I'd like to see the process and candidates (again, overall, not in totality) mature a bit more before participating. Keep up the progress! o7
