You coming after me for no other reason but the fact that I think your idea is fundamentally flawed, which I’ve stated in polite but no uncertain terms, is the real joke. If you think I am breaking any official forum rules you can report me (and my 12? alts that you connected with dots) to CCP or the ISD’s and let them sort it out. Bullying, as you seem to attempt here, may not be as enjoyable in the long run. Just so you know, bullying is definitely against the forum rules.
Please stop playing some kind of victim nobody is going to feel sorry for a suicide ganker.
I don’t think you are braking any forum rules and that’s why I suggested in the Little things thread that CCP should Block players from posting in the same thread on the forum with different chars from the same client/computer.
Some people here have explained to you how to use the forum threads correctly. Please don’t ask us now how to use the killboards too. I am a suicide ganker ? Nope, I’m far worse than that , loathed by more pilots even. My absolute top form of engagement is cloaky ships, preferably with bombs, obliterating entire groups and shoveling salt by the kilos, and definitely trying to avoid suicide attacks. Yes, I’m one of those, but currently very docile while making a few isk instead of spending it. That’s nothing new, if you know a little bit about my posting history. But suicide ganking ? Never done it, never killed anyone without kill rights in hisec or without being attacked first (by suicide gankers notably, but that’s already a year ago). Keep trying.
What is with the ‘if more than one poster argues against me, they must be alts’ thing? Are you so sure that your post is perfection that you cannot imagine multiple unique people disliking your idea? That’s some next-level narcissism right there.
And no, you have so totally not answered the questions people have raised. Like this one: Why would CCP ever want to implement this?
That doesn’t answer the question, though. All you have done is say why CCP should read their designated feedback spaces. Why should CCP force themselves to answer to players on the forum?
You aren’t asking CCP to add a feature to the forums. You are asking CCP to pledge to answer players here if their request or question reaches some CCP defined threshold. That doesn’t require a forum change (because they can already get those metrics from the Discourse platform using the Likes given to a post), but does require a policy change at CCP.
Given CCP’s track record of ignoring the forums in favor of engaging on Reddit, what makes you think CCP would ever do this?
Edit: By the way, you can move your own thread by editing the category in the original post - Forum Feedbacks and Requests would be the category for forum changes that folks referred to earlier.
sure no problem, CCP can just lie. “We can’t do this legacy code”
But all idea brought up by players and voted by players can’t be bad.
CCP should not be able to ignore the player base.
You have to be able to compromise.
… So, instead of answering the actual question in that post, you rabbited on ‘perfection’. Yeah, because that is debating in good faith.
CCP doesn’t prefer a ‘Reddit style forum’. They prefer Reddit.
Players have been asking CCP to talk to us on their own forum for literal years. It has not happened. In that context: why would CCP change their policies now and bind themselves to have to answer people on the forums? The answer is they won’t. So can you stop harping on about this idea already? It will never happen because CCP doesn’t want to talk to players here.
Devs are not the people who run the company. Dev have bosses who they answer to.
Every company does marketing, research, customer satisfaction bla bla bla.
If EVE community brings up like 15 ideas of the span of 1 year were a lot of eve players agree that its a good idea, they that should be taken into consideration when picking from new ideas to implement.
If this would be true, then whoever works att CCP who thinks that they don’t have to interact with the customer should be fired right away.
In every other line of business where you would refuse to speak with a customer you would get fired on the spot and Developers are not some magical unicorn that are exempt from having to speak.
Not every business operates the same way. CCP clearly is a successful business, so your assertion that the only way they can be successful is to engage with their customers in the fashion that you desire is patently false.
Look, I get it - we all would love to see CCP actually engage on their own forums. But they prefer Reddit, and nothing we do is going to change that. We don’t have that power. There are plenty of EVE customers who hate the forums and prefer Reddit, so they successfully engage with CCP there.
Your idea is not lacking merit - again, we all wish CCP actually would engage with us. It’s simply unrealistic when held up to two realities:
people (especially when made anonymous on the internet) will abuse anything (re: popularity mechanic)
CCP is not motivated to make this change (and are in fact specifically disincentivized to do so).
