You’ve now accused me of logical fallacies multiple times without identifying a single one. That suggests you’re using the term rhetorically, not analytically.
If the topic truly lacks merit, your continued engagement contradicts that claim. Choosing to respond at length to something you say “makes no sense” implies that it does, in fact, matter to you, at least enough to try discrediting it.
This pattern of focusing on the person rather than the argument may feel persuasive in the moment, but it doesn’t address the substance. It only sidesteps it.
Oh sure I have. You not able to recognize something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. But nice try. And as far as I know, I have thrown like a truckload more substantial arguments about the actual topic into the discussion than you have. Because besides hollow claims, we have seen absolutely nothing from you that would back up the theory that we have a problem that needs fixing.
You keep calling my points “hollow,” but so far, you’ve responded with hand-waving and assumptions. I’ve cited actual research. You’ve offered personal opinion.
If you disagree with the data, that’s fine, but dismissing it without addressing the substance isn’t an argument. It’s avoidance.
If there’s no problem, then why are so many players quitting after early losses? Why is new player retention in the gutter? Maybe that’s worth fixing, even if it makes some people uncomfortable.
Unrelated. Dismissed. As most of your other AI nonsense.
Because they had false expectations about the game. Because they tried to “solo” a game that hides 90% of its “fun experience” behind player interactions and is pretty dull and overly complex without them. They play to their first loss, which in most cases isn’t even a gank, then decide if its worth the effort to continue playing and decide not to. The loss is just a point to rethink their decision to actually play that game, not the reason they quit. They would have quit sooner or later anyway, because the game seems not to be fun for them. “Fixing ganking” will solve absolutely nothing when it comes to new player retention.
You could fly buck naked from Jita to Amarr and 90% of the whiners here wouldn’t even notice as its been consistently demonstrated that most of our ‘concerned’ capsuleers never undock anyway.
If he’s lying about a minor detail like this, what else is he lying about?
Is he really living in null sec?
Has he really played 22 years of EVE already?
Is he really hiding his main because he doesn’t want us to harass his main, or is it just that he wanted to lie about being a veteran, with a main of 2 years old that has never left high sec?
After all, if he really lived in null sec what danger would be there in posting on a main?
Come on, how many times has that really happened? Do you know a significant number of examples, so one could expect that as a high probability consequence? I do not.
Seriously, I haven’t heard a single of such cases in decades. I am very active at the forums and to the topics I have some knowledge about, I often state my opinion, liked or not. And the only thing I have been through was a “o/ Syzygium” in local if some other forum user who recognized me had noticed me. I have sometimes met Akio and greeted her, I have seen a handful of other forum users over the years and thats it.
Those people hiding behind alts… it’s just another sign of their paranoia. Ingame, nobody gives a **** about what you said here.
