EVE General Discussion

Not just swearing they wouldn't come back.

Making five threads about it here, then making a thread on mmorpg.com about it, defaming the game and everyone who plays it.

I am in stitches.

Hey now, don't knock bondage as a profession. It's a good career starter and income source for aspiring young actresses, and it's far more respectable than going on Springer or some such.

Personally I have never had anything against the idea of WiS content. The idea of being to walk around in the stations and perhaps even on the surface of planets does have a certain appeal and there is potential to add other components of gameplay. That said, the way CCP handled WiS was terrible and even worse it seemed to actually get in the way of fixing and maintaining the spaceships part of the game. If CCP had the resources to do both in a good fashion so one doesn't interfere with the other I'd be all for it. It would be a good way to expand EVE a little more into the ultimate scifi game, provide some new aspects to the game without forcing anyone into them and likely draw in some new players. EVE isn't just one play style, every player has their preference, I don't see why WiS couldn't be just another area of the game people choose to play.

WIS, nerf highsec, get rid of NPC corps, make Bluesec a God mode area, nerf ganking, remove bumping, etc.

We see that **** all day long in here. Everyone is hung up on something. They want what they want and don't care how it will affect game balance. So they cry and they cry in every thread that's even remotely close to their pet cause.

But since they pay their subs, it's fully acceptable for them to whine all day every day. Even though any thinking person knows CCP is not stupid enough to pander to their incessant mewling. Nothing will come of most of these deceased equines because to implement them would be game breaking.

Here's the thing about WIS, though. It would not be game breaking. It would be a good addition that would likely multiply the player base many fold. The people with the WASD phobia will keep to their ships and the massive influx of a whole new demographic will hang out in stations. It's a win/win. More players, more money for CCP, more new people to try and recruit into player corps.

So, even though I don't see it happening any time soon, I'll not begrudge people for not letting it go. It's a great dream to have. One that CCP shares with those that want to see some implementation of avatar gameplay.

Mr Epeen

given the whopping libelous fibs you spread about the eve community, individual players and ccp, i assume you've been working on an apology

"Yet?" I found a believer! Quick! Get the medics!

Thing is, that the stations are cosmetic. So, players can submit graphical assets and CCP can accept, reject or request modifications.
They can be paid in AUR and sign something.

In other words, we know what we always knew, the guy is full of........it (lol). All good, what's a forum without a laughingstock?

But there is a greater point here, which is why it's so incredibly special that this IZ person is also a WiSer. WiS fans are so out of touch with the realities of EVE and and so delusional in their advocacy (even in the face of indefinite "NO") that they end up reminding me of these people.. The last paragraph of that link should be required reading for every WiSer.

indefinite "no's" require challenge. Stopping WIS was amateur and foolish. Someone competent might one day start to listen to what players want rather than just pandering to a failed group of gamers whose aim it is to turn games to crap for lolz.

I have plenty of time. I don't hate CCP or EvE. On the contrary it's my love of this game that causes me to come back every once in a while in the hope they'll wise up and get rid of the toxic environment they have deliberately fostered.

If they clean the turds out of the sandbox it might become attractive once again to people wanting to play rather than game the game.

When I criticise CCP it's because I saw what a great game they had prior too Ovuer leaving and I've watched as it and it's reputation was demolished by subsequent lead devs.
