Cant you just get off forums for a sec. and go play and ENJOY the game.
It seems to me like you are playing forums. i guess people like you are enjoying destroying england in riots right now.
Whats up with this CSM minutes. or something that has to do with response from CCP.
Why dont you let CCP make their game, and you yourself just go and play it.
You dont get paid for design/programming. So why do you keep arguing about aspects like AUR/Plex, p2w. etc.
If EvE will become not what you want then just find another game.
As it currently IS. Eve has alot of new players coming every day, they have massive ad campaign on google, eventhough eve-offline showed active player decline(more mature players)- successful game.
I am really tired of coming to general forum and having to sift through your cry-posts just to find a good normal post to read.
A good example of what people like you "protesters" can do to a game has an example - World of warcraft.
They lost 1mil subscribers, and warcraftrealms show 2.2mil players total playing it(unlike 12mil advertised)
You also make developers to think that they are gods and creators(which they are not) by making "balancing" or "suggesting" threads. they are just CCP employees who work for living, just like everyone else do.
Cliffs:
Forums = end of eve prediction (miserable future for eve) - makes people lose smile
Game = very active 1 server universe, where alot of action is going on, people login, have fun and logoff.
Make general forums cry-free. If you have something to suggest, go to suggestion forums.

Your feelings are completely normal. If you have made up your mind on something seeing opposite opinions starts to irritate because we have this silly tendency to assume that world is ours alone. Indeed, in case of really contrasted opinions it can be extremely hard to understand your opponents because you will subconsciosly resist it.
Another thing is that we have amazing capability for self-deception. Humans will go surprisingly far into fitting whatever happens to their own paradigm/opinions even if it only barely fits and falls apart on further inspection. |

Why would anyone care what a character bought one month ago and with no clue about the game thinks?  |

You might want to check your facts before using an uninformed opinion to criticise the actions of others. If this is your definition of a successful game then eve is sadly not (not that I would judge success on the basis of this definition myself). |

Unlike someone who hasn't been paying attention, I've seen EVE grow to 55k at prime times only to have it shrink back to 40… Quote:

Yes, please do. …well, unless you have those logs, that is, and want to share them. |

Ah! I see now. So a constant addition of players means that the number of players now is higher than when the game started. So if the number drops to 20k next month eve will still have seen a constant addition of players despite losing many players. Wonderful use of language. Look at Eve offline and inform yourself. Numbers are down considerably over the last 6-12 months. |

Tough. Then maybe you shouldn't have included claims that kind of contradict what eve-offline tells us… Quote:

Well, for starters, don't try to invent your own reality without anything to back it up. Secondly, you can try to read the threads you refer to, rather than just dismiss them as “crythread”, since they explain things well enough. |

The first page of replies to this thread have done nothing but prove that my original post is extremely valid. Thank you for unintentionally supporting my argument, this is irony at its purest form.
Let me begin with the first class of "counter-arguments", those questioning my experience with Eve Online. Guess what guys, Eve Online is a game. I am a human being playing this game, as are you. We are all entitled to the same amount of enjoyment, and those of us who do not enjoy the game can leave any time - no one is imprisoning you in the Eve Universe. To suggest that I cannot have an opinion because I am supposedly not as "experienced" as you, and that you are a superior individual because you're a 'veteran' is not only pathetic but also laughable.
The other type of "counter-arguments" I have seen so far revolves around a redundant philosophical definition of "What is success" and nitpicking around customer base numbers. This is completely irrelevant. I have made dozens of points in my original post, and the fact that you only respond to this one to try to break down my argument pretty much shows that you have nothing else to say about the 'meat and potatoes' of my main post, so to speak.
This is completely ignoring the fact that every single one of you have avoided directly addressing the majority of my points. You are living so deep in this forum-reality-life of yours that the moment you find a small point to argue against you latch onto it for dear life and spam this forum with your miserable nonsense.
You aren't doing anyone a favour by bringing your negativity here. As one equal person to another, I would suggest you to find better things to do with your time than cry about the nitpicked specifics of a video game. Enjoy the game, or find a meaning to your life elsewhere. |

Your whole argument (at least the few coherent bits) is predicated on the assertion that eve is a successful game. Pointing out that it is not, by your own understanding of success, is not a tangential point but, rather, speaks directly to the point you are trying to make. Eve is a broken game, in many respects, and that is why many of the threads complaining about aspectsof it are perfectly valid. What you really need to do is provide an argument for why people shouldn't complain even when the game has lots of problems. Also, meta-cry threads are still cry threads.  |

Well, you shouldn't have brought it up if it's so redundant and nit-picky. Quote:

Your only point was "waah! I don't want to read negative threads". Well, tough. Learn to be discriminate in your reading and/or stop judging threads by their titles (as you have so obviously done) and start to read them instead. You might actually learn something. |

What exactly is wrong with those topics ? This is afterall General Discussion where people discuss issue's among them that they encounter in the game. Some use proper wording while others just rant and lash out. It's a choice and everyone is permitted to voice his or her opinion in a matter they see fit within the rules of the forum. Moderators will react appropriatly to topics with no content or posts that violate the forum rules. If people didnt care about the game, they wouldnt post on the forum. On that note, if you advise people to play the game and not hang on the forums all the time, then why are you troubled by the forums since you would be playing the game instead of hanging here ? |

I've stated what I believe about this game and that's that, I don't hate EVE, I don't necessarily hate CCP, even if they have acted like outrageous douchebags about all this, I just hate the direction everything is going because I can see clearly it's going to end badly.
I'd love to play this game and enjoy it, but frankly, with all the bull****, I don't see the point. |

Not really any points made here. People enjoy the game in different ways and some people enjoy trying to improve it via the forums or enjoy trolling the forums. Quote:
It seems to me like you are playing forums. i guess people like you are enjoying destroying england in riots right now.
Pointless ad hominem comparison to rioters in the UK. But yes, many people like playing forums. Still no points made as yet as to why threads you don't like shouldn't be posted. Quote:
Whats up with this CSM minutes. or something that has to do with response from CCP.
Why dont you let CCP make their game, and you yourself just go and play it.
This isn't a point of argument, it is a statement (or rhetorical question, really) based on a failure to understand the motivations of others. Quote:
You dont get paid for design/programming. So why do you keep arguing about aspects like AUR/Plex, p2w. etc.
To the extent that this constitutes an argument it is a mere argument from authority and as such not worth considering. Quote:
If EvE will become not what you want then just find another game.
Again, not really a point so much as an instruction. And, no, btw. It's not up to you to issue such commands. Quote:
As it currently IS. Eve has alot of new players coming every day, they have massive ad campaign on google, eventhough eve-offline showed active player decline(more mature players)- successful game.

You also make developers to think that they are gods and creators(which they are not) by making "balancing" or "suggesting" threads. they are just CCP employees who work for living, just like everyone else do.
And the rest of this is based on your successful/unsuccessful distinction which has been shown to be flawed So, which of your wonderful points of argument do you think we should take more time to consider? |

My whole argument is based on the assertion that if you do not think eve is a successful game (which it is, it is one of the few games to survive and grow for years), then you can leave. You are under the assumption that it's reasonable that 90% of the threads in this forum are complaint threads. Do you honestly have nothing better to do than complain? If you want to suggest, go to the suggestions forum. If you want to discuss (GENERAL DISCUSSION, not GENERAL COMPLAINTS), then post in this forum. If you're unhappy, you can leave. There are people who play the game and don't voice their opinions on these forums and they're having a lot of fun. The reality is, you're the loud, visible, and miserable minority. |

I'm glad you're into creating arguments "parallel" to mine, maybe one day we can create an argumentative trigonometric masterpiece. Lets be realistic here for a moment, if this forum had a balance of 'good and bad', there would be nothing wrong. Except that it's 95% negative, and 5% constructive. You are not an Eve developer. You're also not a customer service vigilante, an anarchist warrior. It is not your job to address the "cause" of the unhappiness - in fact you're the one creating the unhappiness and then complaining that no one is there to fix it. CCP has a vision for the game. They will take your advice into consideration; IN THE SUGGESTIONS FORUM. If their vision does not align with yours, then yes, really, you can leave the game. Stop trying to impose your views on how things should be run. |

The first intelligent reply to my thread. Thank you. I am not being sarcastic either. People do have different opinions, and respect goes both ways, these forums would be a much more fun place to participate in if everyone was truly respectful and argued constructively as opposed to spewing negative criticisms all over the place about every minor detail they can think of. |
