Either backup your claim with some facts or just admit that you are just making stuff up to lend credence to your position. It's that simple.

Nope, just calling you out for making stuff up and then trying to shift the burden of proof to me because you can't backup your BS.

Where is the exact information that supports your MAJORITY claim? If it exists certainly you can quote it here and link to it? I want to see exactly where over 150K accounts have voiced an opinion supporting your claim or where CCP has released some statistics.

Otherwise without having any direct evidence, you only *perceive* what you believe is true, and that's fine as long as you admit it's only your opinion and don't try to pass it off as a fact as you keep doing.

But by all means keep going with the ad hominem, you are at least good at doing that.

Is thread still about asking CCP to break their promise to focus on space content? It's a little hard to follow with all the sperging.

CCP already did WiS and the playerbase hated it. The playerbase wants CCP to focus on gameplay additions rather then meaningless fluff, which negatively impacts the game.

First off , show the actual place where you can walk in a station. Someone open the door while I was looking the other way?

And secondly, a handful of whiny forum alts is not in any way representative of the playerbase, so y'all can stop bandying that term around.

The only meaningless fluff I can see here is your posting.

Confirming it was just a handful of whiny forum alts that caused the big loss of subscriptions between 6/2011 and 12/2011 (summer of rage) that made Hillmar issue a public apology and CCP to completely change development focus after losing 25% PCU in EVE during that time.

http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility

I suppose CCP also laid off 20% of its workforce because they just wanted to:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/10/19/ccp-layoffs-affect-20-of-worldwide-staff-company-focusing-on-e/

None of this had anything whatsoever to do with all the players that un-subbed because they were dissatisfied, or the loss of revenue CCP experienced because of it. Roll

Ah yes. The summer of whiny bitches.

I was one of the one's shooting down all the faceless alts posting in the farcical comedy known as the 'I quit' thread.

You know... the characters that were at most two days old, had only one post in their history, no standings, no sec status and still in NPC corps. Yup. I well remember those days.

The desperation of the bittervet is a thing to behold, sometimes.

Thanks that gave me a chuckle :) I still fail to understand way WiS generates some much hostility; a lot of players, including myself, look forward to a decent implimentation of this; anyone who has played MMOs know that you can have several 100 avitars running around together without the universe imploding.
Admittedly, Captain's quarters is unlikely to draw in new players as it stands, but a proper station enviroment and "mini games" will draw players into Eve as done properly they will feel they can play a game that doesn't require years of experience to get into.

It's not complicated. CCP ignored Eve to work on Space Barbie for two years. People got fed up paying a subscription fee to beta test the WoD engine and then the leaks coming from inside CCP about their masterplan for microstransactions was the straw that broke the camel's back.

A bunch of people ragequit, CCP flew CSM6 to Iceland to tell them what was going on and now things are back on track. That's why I hate seeing things like the OP asking CCP to change direction now that the game is starting to improve.

Yes, several hundred avatars running around is possible. Many games have done it. And yes, a proper station environment and mini-games will draw players into Eve. However, I doubt very few will stay long once they realize that they have to A: Undock to make any isk for the most part, at least at first to get started. B: Train the skills to make that isk which will make them impatient since the average 1x skill to lvl is 20hours or so. C: They will also realize that there is no gameplay to be found on a station other then walking around, conversing and mini-games.

Considering WiS was developed for Eve, your statement is incorrect.

CCP had divided it's development resources to work on DUST514, World Of Darkness and Eve, in that order which basically gave Eve the short end of the stick.





WIS tech was developed for spinning-off WoD and other potential CCP ventures, and EVE subscribers were intended to be the beta testers for that tech.

Otherwise you have it correct about the short end of the stick.

Do you have a source for this? I've seen you claim this; I've seen other people claim the opposite. Thus far I've not seen a single iota of proof for these assertions. Now I recall from an earlier thread you were lambasting people for claiming the opposite. I sincerely hope you can back up your claims.

However, I suspect not. One would think that if the "majority of the player base" wanted it CCP would devote more resources to it. It's not smart business sense to ignore the features the "majority" of your customers want, right?

I'm one of the ones that wants it, but not over the core EVE game.

Same to you, I haven't seen you provide any 'iota' of proof to back up your statements either. Please link your source stating that the majority of the player base did not want WiS when CCP first previewed Ambulation.

By the way, CCP has had a long history of ignoring the player base pertaining to a lot of different aspects in this game which was the reason for the '1001 Papercuts' threadnaught.

Funny, in the past 3 years CCP has added a lot of content to this game but hey, keep singing your same ole troll tune that CCP has ignored Eve due to working on WiS.

I did not make that claim. Read my post again. Now stop trying to deflect; and please supply the data. I am keen to see what the actual numbers are. Or were you lying because you want something?

Common fallacy: proving non-existence : when an arguer cannot provide the evidence for his claims, he may challenge his opponent to prove it doesn't exist (e.g., prove God doesn't exist; prove UFO's haven't visited earth, etc.). The proof of existence must come from those who make the claims.

DeMichael Crimson wrote:

Common fallacy: ad hominem: An arguer who uses ad hominem, attacks the person instead of the argument. Whenever an arguer cannot defend his position with evidence, facts or reason, he or she may resort to attacking an opponent either through: labeling, straw man arguments, name calling, offensive remarks and anger.


You cave been asked repeatedly to provide the evidence to backup your claim, and at each turn you attempt to use the above common fallacies to deflect. Perhaps you should pose your statements as opinions in the future to avoid being asked these pesky questions that serve to illustrate you are making stuff up to suit your agenda.

how sandboxy can you get with creative emoting?

mining, research, exploration and production,
the products of the above activities, what do they do? why do people buy it?
