Jita Park Speakers Corner

I d-scanned a Rifter in a belt in lowsec, and warped to that belt at range. I aligned for the planet, and after allowing time for the pilot to see where I was going, I warped there. The other Rifter followed and we fought.

Given the circumstances, we both wanted to fight.

One of us took a GCC and lost security status. Eventually that pilot will have to start shooting little red crosses or suffer the consequences of 'going pirate'. On this occasion, it was me. Perhaps tomorrow it will be him.

Why are we punished for seeking combat?

Is this working as intended or something you feel needs fixing?

Thank you.


Yeah... to me the 15 min GCC feels like CCP telling me to go sit in the corner until I learn to behave.

Before I pledge my support what do you think of The $99.00 thing CCP wants 3rd party developers to pay? What have you done to express your views on this subject to CCP? Also goodluck ill be watching your , Hanz and Elise's campaign with great interest to decide who I should pledge my vote too.

When this first came up last year, it was right in the middle of CCP's completely befuddled efforts to talk to the community about much of anything. I actually wrote about this specific issue in my blog when it happened in an attempt to make sense of the thought processes behind it:

The $99 feedback loop

I can't really paste much of what I said on the internal CSM forums or in the joint Skype chat but there was a lot of emo going on. It didn't help that this was right in the middle of all the other drama. As a result of this and all the player rage, if you recall, CCP Zulu appeared on the EVE Online Alliance Tournament and another blog came out on the subject where he talked about the fee not being $99 but a 'token payment'. I didn't waste any time in making my thoughts known what this token payment should be:

LINKAGE to old forums

I think it's safe to say that any attempt by CCP to repeat this nonsense will be met by me with all the subtlety of a small nuke.

First of all I'd like to say I voted for you last time and you'll get my vote this time, you seem to be a stand up guy who says what he believes and you have a welfare of the playerbase uppermost in your mind. You got a +1 from me!

However I believe titans are a problem as they are in groups AND on their own.

Very few people who've experienced titans as they are at the moment would disagree they're overpowered as far as their guns go. You're never going to be able to stop people blobbing with ships as it's just something that is part of human nature. PL are a good example of this, a titan pilot within PL knows he's a good chance of using his ship on a regular basis and getting some kills with a very low chance of losing it. The only way to fix it is to make it so titans NEED a backup fleet in order to function at their most effective.

The problem of titans guns being overpowered was excellently demonstrated to me about a week ago I was up in the drone regions and we got a PL Erebus tackled. What did he do? Popped our interdictors with his blasters.

Sorry, no, that should not be happening. Titans should need a subcap fleet to help then fight off what they can't, and right now they don't need that as they can pretty much fight off anything on their own, from the lowly interdcitor to doomsdaying a carrier.

I personally would make it so their guns (even if loaded with tracking computers) are marginally effective against battleships and totally useless at killing anything smaller.



Anyway good luck in the election, never thought I'd vote for a PL guy in anything! ;) *grits teeth*

If CSM was a stunt, that would have been one of the first things to go during the cost cutting exercise last year. CCP as a company are damned lucky they had the sense to create the CSM well BEFORE things got so bad the bears were rioting in Jita...trying to do that after the fact would be seen as gasping for air an have no credibility whatsoever.

Yet, even with this "stunt" I see you still pay to play/play to pay, etc...maybe you should un-sub in protest?

Hey Seleene,

could you comment on THIS post in the Darius III campaign thread?
Vile Rat and Two Step claim that Darius did pretty much nothing while he was in the CSM. D3 then argues that they just say that because they are in love with Mittens.

Since there are no official records of what each member of the CSM did during their time in office, it would be helpful to hear the opinions of some of the other CSM members.

Over 120 separate suggestions, including one that would likely double the subscriber rates and be the best recieved expansion ever. More on that later though-D3

I was going to post to your reddit thread, but the topic is fairly slow moving and it didn't seem like the ideal place to continue the discussion.

In your thread you got asked about titans/supercaps and not only your part in the adjustments that made them into the basis for the 'supercaps online' situation nullsec is in, but you really didn't answer the questions posed. You keep pointing at your blog, where you generally give the same non-answers. What I wanted to ask about specifically was mentioned in another reddit thread by FMERCURY, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/pktfz/state_of_eve_discussion_titans_as_the_new_fleet/

I'll quote it for reference:



The point I wanted to raise has been bolded. One guy's opinion is just that, but the underlined portion goes directly against your assertation that 'One titan is fine. Fifty are the problem."

How do you respond to this?

Can we click dislike?

This dude deserves to be unemployed.

Worst candidate of the bunch.
