CCP are on holiday at the moment, but I agree. Generally, there don't seem to be that many responses there. One of the guys, I can't remember his name, something like Delamorui Eddy, responds a lot but overall it's a bit poor.

Just like it's not your job to spot the bugs, it's not theirs to acknowledge your efforts.

You and CCP are "working as intended".

Reporting bugs isn't quite pointless, but they do go ignored for a very long time. CCP is aware of most of the problems with the game, or at least always say they are. Due to a small dev team, a lot of holidays, countless bugs and perhaps not knowing how to fix a lot of them, it takes them forever to fix them. I've pointed out a lot of bugs both on the feedback section and by sending in tickets. On the forums they usually get ignored or troll posted and the tickets usually get a generic "We are aware of the problem and are taking steps to fix it..."

This game is still in "beta" if you ask me. A lot of the issues persist because of CCPs care bear mentality of nerfing and buffing things due to the forum QQ'ing, which is only a small percentage of the communities input. CPMs really don't help the issue either. More often than not they get things done that benefit their play style and not what's overall best for the player base as a whole. I don't see many devs around playing the game either, so other than the communities input how would they know what's wrong with the game?

It's a back and forth battle with CCP and the player base. They nerf something then buff something else. If that doesn't work they nerf the thing they buffed and buff the thing they nerfed. This rarely ends in balance. What I think they need is a small group of players, much like the CPMs, that will be honest with what's actually going on in the game. This whole "forum feedback" reliance just ends up with even more unbalanced aspects to everything.

Just like it's not your job to spot the bugs, it's not theirs to acknowledge your efforts.

You and CCP are "working as intended".

You're right. Instead of QQ'ing about things I like to come up with ideas on how to make it better. If it's posted on the forums, or relayed in a ticket the devs know about it. Simple as that. They're not going to post on EVERY topic saying "We are aware" or include EVERY bug report in the weekly update. Instead of saying "Please acknowledge my bug reports" come up with ideas on how it could be relayed better. QQ post is QQ post, idea post is good.

I never said they didn't want you to spot bugs, for you are correct, that is why they have a bug section.

Why do you feel you deserve an indication that they read it? It was never your job to find the bug in the first place. You took it upon yourself to do something that wasn't mandatory.

But you did perform an act of generosity by finding the bugs and reporting it. I just can't understand why you aren't satisfied with that being the end of it.

No matter how are trying to word it, you are still coming off as wanting something from CCP that isn't necessary for them to provide.

You are right, i used "deserved" for that was my personal interpretation of you listing links to your work then complaining that CCP wasn't telling you they read it and acknowledge the bugs existence, so my apologies.

I guess that's just where our mindsets differ. When i perform acts of kindness or charity, i don't care if i get a thankyou or not. I don't mind holding the door open for someone that will simply walk past without so much as a glance in my direction. The knowledge of my efforts was enough for me. So I suppose I'll leave your thread, since opposing opinions that will never change doesn't merit clogging it with repetition.

Goodluck to you sir.

Yet the principles aren't the same. CCP is not your friend.

Your analogy is more like this. "You sent your money to someone you don't know. They took your money and wrote nothing in return".

I agree that if CCP had some sort of personal reason to respond, they should. But being as they have no personal reasons, i just don't see the need for them to say anything to you or about those bugs.

That's why i can't help but feel you just want a thankyou. We have two completely different opinions on what CCP needs to do or not. Those opinions aren't changing throughout this thread, and probably won't. And thats okay.

As this repetition is continuing on longer i would like to say good day sir, and again, goodluck.

Then lets make this easy for you to grasp.

My opinion : I don't fee their lack of acknowledgement of the bug is problem. End of story.

Your opinion : You feel it's a problem. End of story.

Bye now. Keep up the good work .(?)
