Goalpost slowly shifts.
Yep. you did shift them.
All I did was point out your error and you shifted them.
Twice
The error in thinking is on your part. There is little value in comparing arbitrarily chosen points on a line graph.
Its about perspective. Zoom in enough and it looks flat, but it aināt.
Arbitrarily chosen perspectives. I can arbitrarily choose 2004 and say weāre doing great. See how that works?
If you chose 2004 it wouldnāt be arbitraryā¦
Changes like this that drive people out of certain economic niches, and out of the game for some, add up. Every pilot missing is one less producer, seller, targetā¦ They need to be drawing people in, not pushing them out.
It is. I just chose it to support a narrative, just like you guys are. Your perspective needs to be expansive, not myopic. I guess you missed my point. Your mind appears to be made up and not open to disconfirming evidence. Bad scientist is bad.
Dude, a five year span leading to the present is not arbitrary. It highlights a standing trend. Using 2004 is not arbitrary either, itās intentionally deceptive.
Arbitrary:
based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
Right, exactly. Your guys personal whim to choose this time period or that time period to paint a picture of doom and gloom. Duurr
I think the current number of players is better than too few, or even worse too many.
But choosing a certain period and stating āAlready Reboundingā is ok?
You chose a 5 month period to show a āsummer breakā and claimed average online was improving, yet looking at the numbers over 2 week periods the numbers are DOWN.
You chose an inaccurate period to make a point and got called on it. Accept you were wrong and get over it.
You must have trouble following conversations, or youāre being dishonest. Kind of hard to assume good faith on your part, so Iām gonna go with ābeing dishonestā. I was responding to an arbitrarily selected portion of the PCU graph with more recent, disconfirming evidence. Thereās nothing wrong with that; it was contextually relevant. Then the goalpost shifted to ā5 months agoā an then you shifted it to ā5 years agoā. Shift shift shift. Gotta hold up that narrative.
Youāre being dishonest and manipulating the data in a dishonest way. Shame on you.
No, I didnāt. That was the other guy. Stop lying.
It is in relation to what I was responding to. Be honest and keep things in context.
Arbitrarily selected portion to support a narrative. Yawn. First it was ā5 months agoā, then it was ā5 years agoā, and now itās ālook at this random 2 week periodā. Jesus dude, just take your L with grace.
Ok. so the US has summers that last 5 months, so your original post about numbers rebounding based on your 5 month summer was accurate. But then for the month proceeding your 5 month summer, numbers actually dropped but Iām the one being dishonest.
EveOffline is ONLY accurate when you use it.
Got it. Iām dishonest because I used the same available information as you to show you were not right.
Get over yourself, you got it wrong and got called out. Boo Hoo.
What I dont understand is why if you dislike CCPs decisions so much you are so invested in wanting to improve their bank.
lolwhat? No, my dude, no no no. lmao
Summer is 3 months long, comprised of the months June, July, and August.
Keep lying and twisting instead of taking your L with grace.
Derailed thread is derailed.
Industry changes still bad. There, back on topic.
So why then did you include May and September in your āIt was Summer my dudeā, āalready reboundingā post?
Your summer (my winter) shows 21k average, yet since then the average to date has dropped to 20k. Where is the rebound you stated?
And Iām the one lying and twisting.
Not sure how pointing out a blatant posting error by Xuixien points to me not liking CCP decisions or shows I am invested in improving their bank.
Seems to me youāre injecting your own narrative here.
For context and comparison.
On the image I posted.
Yes.
And here I thought we were all back on topic. aww, shucks.
Ypu have repeatedly stated your objections to their decisions on numerous topics, not least Scarcity and now Downtime asteroid regeneration.
Now you are arguing that the player numbers are dying.
Whats wrong with you that you seem to have forgotten these things because you want an argument?
