How long will Mintrolio's reign of slander be allowed to run?
I call upon CCP to take action in this time of crisis.

This is much too long, I ask the Mittani what he plans to do in order to counter these horrific claims. Namely being compared to David Cameron.

The Mittani,

I can't verify that you have had the dramatic effect on the CSM that you claim, nor do i think you care about the views of the wider community, so i just have a couple questions that i hope you can answer honestly...

If it were up to you, what direction would you like to see EVE grow in?

What do you consider to be the biggest problem in EVE today and conversely what do you consider the best thing about EVE?

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Mr Mittani, as someone who has no idea who you are, who has never voted, and who is not going to read through 22 pages, could you briefly summarise what sorts of changes you're looking to make, what issues you think need to be looked at, etc.?

I'd like to see more expansions like Crucible, and keep stabbing stakes into the heart of Incarna. Just to be absolutely certain that it's dead, and that Hilmar doesn't get more Kool-Aid.

Many of the sucking chest wounds impacting EVE were dealt with during CSM6 and the Crucible expansion. Lag, iterative ship balance, supercaps, etc etc. Right now the highest priority post-Crucible would be risk/reward balance, as EVE is spewing risk-free isk everywhere, while there's not much reason to actually hold or profit from sov, which is quite risky.

The best thing about EVE is the metagame - the politics, the treachery. That's what makes it unique.

    If you vote for me in CSM 8, I will push for virtual hats to be added to the game in conjunction with a valve TF2 EVE hat release.

    You're doing politics wrong. You're meant to be sucking up to the voters to get their +1 Roll

    Thanks for your reply. Although i want the existing content to be improved and fixed, personally i want to see the WiS features many people were expecting implemented in the future and I'm not going to be happy if all i can expect from now on is polish and more ships added to the list of ships i have no intention of flying.

    For that reason i hope you don't get get your way as i think your attitude stifles the creativeness of CCP and will lead to a stagnate game with a dwindling player base, that may look pretty but will be filled with elitist players who forget that EVE is a game.

    The wishlist is pretty much complete...

    At the core, Eve is (still) a spaceship game. I don't mind adding more WiS stuff, as it looks really cool and can be great for immersion. I don't even mind AUR and vanity items all that much. However, the FiS part of the game has so many balance problems that it makes very little sense to prioritize WiS over FiS.

    CCP has proven that it cannot properly do both WiS and FiS at the same time. That is why people like The Mittani are good, as they pound the "put FiS first" attitude that preserves and improves the game, rather than leaving glaring problems be and just add more ~awesome~.

    More succinctly: stifling the creativeness of an architect who just wants to design fancy arch decorations in favor of making him do the much less fun task of making sure the building is stable is not a bad thing.

    I totally agree with you. The FiS content is the reason we were all attracted to this game in the first place and therefore the developers should be focusing on improving and expanding on that part first but the Mittani is saying he doesn't what WiS whatsoever.

    Incarna as it is now adds next to nothing to the game and i'm not going to sit here and claim otherwise but i believe it has potential to be a hell of a lot more and could actually enhance/compliment EVE gameplay.

    The point you're missing with that is that it's not so much that WiS is inherently bad or wrong in and of itself, it's just that the amount of resources it would take to make it work and work well is nowhere near worth what you get out of having it in place (nothing, basically).

    If this was a fantasyland where you could just snap your fingers and have a fully working WiS implementation in the game, I don't think anyone would really oppose it. However, this is a world where CCP has laid off 20% of it's worldwide staff, so if they're going to be working on anything, WiS is about the lowest priority thing out there, if not THE lowest.

    And that's to say nothing of the negative connotations Incarna has after the whole monoclegate thing.

    I'm not averse to WiS being developed eventually, once the sucking chest wounds have been patched in Flying in Space content.

    However, I think FiS will require years of work to make up for the years of neglect received during the long years of Incarna mis-development, and in my view FiS > WiS when it comes to development triage.
