Devadander Woodgrain Atari 520	Posted - 2015.08.07 22:58:00 - [1] - Quote After all this time I have come to realize 75% of the forum posters don't help. Out of the original 100%.... 30% don't even play anymore. I propose a 'seven hours in the last seven days' requirement to post on forums. If you don't play, why should anyone listen to you?

Thokk Nightshade Montana Militia 1	Posted - 2015.08.07 23:14:00 - [2] - Quote Then I would never be able to post. I get maybe an hour to an hour and a half 2-3 days a week to play. I have a wife, kid, and job that take up a majority of my time so I only get to play when the wife is at work and the baby is taking a nap (I also like to occasionally play OTHER games, not just this one). All because I CAN'T play as much as someone else, it doesn't mean I'm not dedicated to this game and trying to make it as good as it can be. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

Devadander Woodgrain Atari 526	Posted - 2015.08.07 23:42:00 - [5] - Quote One hour a day is too much? I have a life too. I run my own successful business that takes at least 40 a week. Have a wife. Four kids. I 3-D model alot on my pc as a hobby. Have a night life. And still could get 7 hours in 7 days. I made this post whilst smoking during cleaning up my shop, while waiting on wife to call for lunch so I can 3d art while we talk, then jump on dust and crack one of my three beers for the night.... Now that I've typed this I guess I am a little crazy, but still.... my response so far... Gêå You want a toe? I can get you a toe dude. Gêå Joined - 06-28-12 ~Deal with it~

This man is exempt based on the fact that he has actually made constructive posts. This is precisely the point. I have seen sh!t posting from regular players (you think KTB or Duna would be contructive??). And I have seen less frequent players and new players give very good feedback. Lots of players have left never to return. Others play less frequently, not because they don't like the game, but because they can't stand to play in the game's current state. Do their opinions not matter? Ghost has been playing Arma on his PC, but does that negate his previous experience and ability to communicate? I don't think so. Lastly, I seriously doubt that the biggest problem of this game has been infrequent players commenting on the forums. The CPM, particularly CPM 1 and I am confident CPM 2, are good at being filters. And I sincerely doubt that any Devs have merely taken the forums at the word of those posting and have not used their own data to figure out what perspectives are relevant or not.

And of that percent - most of them are still probably better then you, polishing there skill on games with a future that isn't clouded in a mist, hoping that by being vocal around here enough CCP won't just abandon the game that has become so hard to play. ****, i rarely play, and would probably hand most of you your asses, and understand the mechanics far better.

There's one thing i want to point out since i've marked you as ******** already - In the past 3 years, how much has this game honestly changed? 4 new suits? 2 new weapons? 2 new types of tanks? 2 new maps? all it took was 3 years. How much change do you think this game goes through that we'd need up to date information to keep up?

To start just a min play time to post in GD and F&I would be great since technically no alts are suppose to be outside of the war room.

Not a constructive counterpoint besides thokk, and one eye. Magnificent. sorry, but your thread in CCP eyes was troll to begin with, validate or justify yourself as you please, matters little. It's what CPM's for - run through our bullshit and find the gems to give to CCP. Why do you feel the need to make a thread about it? Did someone in a different thread rattle your panties? Guess what, it's New Eden, these forums used to be considered down right TOXIC as you described in the past - it's care bear compared. Be happy with it, peasant.

Not a constructive counterpoint besides thokk, and one eye. Magnificent. And yet your original post demonstrates how playing regularly does not improve the quality of posts. Any sort of play restrictions for the forums does not elevate discussion so much as give those that play often some inane right to post junk while also preventing new and veteran players who play infrequently from being part of constructive discussion. The notion that only people who play this game are capable of proper discussion, and those that aren't must not play was a flawed association from the start. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind.

ESPECIALLY CCP. Inb4 the king of those wretches posts. As much as I enjoy throwing out made-up stats, I'd have to disagree and state that 75% of the forum users often do have something constructive to say. However, 70% of what they say is normally crap. Why is it this way? It's simple really. All things constructive are just echoed ideas of things that were stated before. If 100% of the forum users posted well thought out suggestions, ideas, criticisms, etc. 100% of the time, then general discussion would consist of nothing but the same rehashed statements over and over again. Would CCP be any more inclined to attend to these inquiries, complaints, etc.? I highly doubt they would. They are aware of the problems. They are aware of our suggestions. They are aware of our concerns. They will get to it all when they can. In the meantime, why not let shitposters continue posting shit? Why not let trolls continue trolling? Why not let the mediocre bluedots continue posting stories of their incredible, yet fake, feats of dominance in hopes of getting false praise? Why not let the forum warriors be what they are? They're not hurting anyone, forum moderation can deal with them, and the rest of us can ignore them. Let them keep their voice. The worse thing CCP can do at this point is turn open forum participation into an exclusive club for only the most diehard Dust514 fan.

This is a game we are talking about, the goal of which is player entertainment and spending. If that entertainment comes from the forums how is that any less valid than playing. Who are you to decide how the rest of the community gets to engage with this game. Now with more evil.

Thokk Nightshade Montana Militia 1	Posted - 2015.08.08 05:52:00 - [28] - Quote Normally I like the stuff you post but you confirmed my statement with your retort. I am exempt because I make "good posts." There are more than just me who have a life outside video games (and this game exclusively) who can still give constructive feedback. Hell, I play about 4 hours a week (I might hit 7 on a good week) and am feeling somewhat burned out and may be takI g a break for a bit to reenergize. Trying to set a minimum threshold for me to voice my opinion would keep me off the forums all together and probably drive me away from the game. The idea that only "hardcore" players who make a game their life have a legit voice outside the exceptions is the reason I started my own corp of myself. I was in one growing corp and the idea of meeting certain "standards" just pissed me off and screamed elitism. I am playing a video game. I enjoy it even though I am mediocre at best. I don't need to be a tryhard who has to be the best at a damn game. That sucks the fun out of games faster than anything for me. So I said screw it and started my own so I could play as I wanted. All that said, I DO ENJOY THE **** out of this game. I want to play it until either the server shuts down or it is ported or whatever. Because of that, I will do my best to come on the forums, give feedback, throw out ideas, and be the best mediocre merc I can be. However, I am not going to change my daily life around or stay up all hours of the night or get up early as hell to squeeze extra hours in just to have a voice. It is not worth it and I am not "dedicated" enough for that. If it ever does come to that, I'll just biomass and give all my ISK and goods to whoever wants it because at that point the game is dead anyways. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

Hence my bad attitude here. In all my wonderful channels ingame, I'm known to give extra and often. Immaculate trade rep. Constantly leading squads. My corp is often home to new berries, till they learn to fly. But here... Great ideas drowned by a sea of stupidity. There's people who post in every single thread, and never contribute anything. People who haven't booted dust in a year still thinking they know what's going on. Do I really think we need to restrict forums? Lolno The newer players have the best ideas because they have yet to be snuffed out by the "community". Are there people we could do without? Yup. Gêå You want a toe? I can get you a toe dude.
