Assembly Hall

This forum is absolutely hilarious when it comes to clueless publords championing their own exclusively personal gripes and issues with the game that affect precisely zero players except themselves. Instead of clogging this forum up with pointless, impractical ideas or entirely aesthetic fixes and why not focus on coming up with solutions to the numerous long-standing problems with the game that actually impact a decent portion of the playerbase?

Stupid, impractical proposals include but are not limited to;

Proposing entirely new classes of ships.
Demanding the CSM demand clarifications from CCP on xyz.
Purely aesthetic changes to ships eg; logos, paint schemes.
Massively complex overhauls to game mechanics that aren't actually broken.
Anything to do with NEX or captains quarters.



You have been given the most successful and energetic CSM to date to carry your ideas to CCP. Why are you wasting this opportunity with proposals that clearly haven't been thought through or apply to such a small subset of players that makes them not even worth the attention of CSM members let alone the bother of implementation?


My humble proposal; Stop being dumb.

The Assembly Hall is a relic of the time when the CSM was considered by a few to be a 'parliamentary' body; it should really be merged into the existing Features and Ideas subforum, as CCP doesn't pay attention to upvotes in AH or thread-spamming.

AH is also a relic of a bygone era where the CSM would actually try to communicate with the players more than CCP did. Soon we'll be hearing about how The Mittani dissolved the Senate and … oh hang on, that's the other evil empire storyline.

So your proposal to end all the impossible requests in the assembly hall is to make the most impossible request of all? People can't stop being dumb. Individual persons can, but as the size of a group of people increases, the combined intelligence of that group decreases to match the intelligence of the stupidest member.

You only need to look at 4chan or youtube to realize the truth of this.

Frankly, you'd have better luck proposing an idea to NASA to move the moon a little closer so we could have better surfing.

Sturgeon's Law. The obvious corollary of this Law is that for every 1 good suggestion, you need to wade through x bad ones, and further, that the rate of good suggestions will always increase more slowly than the rate of bad ones. It sucks, but that's people for you. If the AH produces no more than 4 or 5 good proposals out of the 800-1000 made every year, then it has served a worthwhile purpose. The 996 bad proposals are simply the price you pay for getting the 4 good ones "for free".

Hey the bee, no one cares about your opinion on how/what, so suck it up. Don't like it? -don't read it.

I liked to read your crap post, you seem angry about something. Tell us all about.

If you mean that without the current CSM CCP would have fallen harder on its face before starting to change things for better, you are probably right.

My quote above was a refusal to agree to stealth mittens **** sucking.

You mean like this proposal?

Get out

Ah, but it's not as stupid as saying it's stupid to make stupid posts about something that's stupid. That would be beyond stupid and would give stupidity a bad name.

But back on topic (sorry Mods, couldn't resist ) I do agree that people should think really hard about hitting submit on their latest brain wave and think just how many people it would affect first. If it's less than 2 (ie the proposer only) then for the love of God, don't submit it.
